Top Shelf 3-4-08, in pictures

I'd like to thank Noel Waghorn for being so kind as to photograph last nights show. And also for drinking with us before going to work.

The audience


Was happy.

See pictures of all of the performers after the jump!




Nick Turner hosted but the whole time he was DJing the party in his head.


Erin Jackson dresses for success. Barack Obama's success.


Jay Hastings does his best Buckwheat impersonation.


Tyler Sonnichsen wants you to finish his Sudoku for him.


The coolest photos only come from the classiest people. Mike Way holds it down aesthetically.


Aparna uses some jackass as an easel while she describes all the different types of people you can meet in LA


Randolph T tries to make the pain go away


Larry Poon has a pensive moment before the evening turns into an all out "Dance Party"
