What were you doing 20 years ago? I can’t remember 2003 too well, seeing as I was in fourth grade. The part I do remember is borrowing Yeah Right! from an older friend and having my mind fucking blown. They were clearing freeway-sized street gaps, floating down rails, grinding up them and getting clips of Owen Wilson bluntsliding an eight rail. Two decades later I still get the same feeling rewatching it. Lakai wanted to honor the anniversary with a line of Yeah-Right!-inspired product, and what better way to celebrate the occasion than to throw a party in LA?! Click through to see the heavy hitters still enticed by free drinks and pizza. —Alex Papke

The parking lot, always a good place to start

With no better company than VA and Cold

And the two heads of the planning committee, honorary TMOTY Steve Smith with the big boss man Craig Chimile

John Marello, having a blast as usual

T-Funk might’ve been an actual baby when the vid dropped. That baby probably would've liked Gino’s part

Linnea’s reaction when I told her I was going to air her out for never seeing Yeah Right! Not even on Echoboom sports!

Locals turned out

Not to mention the fans

With a custom patch jacket? We’ll take it!

Making our way inside, the night was just getting started

We tried taking the free samples home but, of course, the geniuses at Lakai glued them to the table

Not much of a Kolsch fan, but a free Yeah Right! beer hits different

Back outside, the parking lot was heating up

You like interviews?! You're in good company with Eric Swisher and Jaime Owens

The collectors were coming in hot tonight

VHS? Haven’t seen one of those in years

Wherever there’s pizza, Sebastian Palmer is there

Dashawn Jordan never turns down an autograph

Carlisle Aikens and Erik Herrera snapped up with the OG

Boise Boys James Capps and Collin Clark

You know the fans had Capps practicing his John Hancock

Kirby’s is an all-time favorite signature of mine

Elliott and Rickk had to take a quick break to see what tomorrow’s surf conditions were looking like

Yeah Right! media men, Meza and Teebs

Van lifers, Smyth and Dimitry

Art Dump past and present, Gordy and Andy Mueller

Twenty years later and the fans are still going crazy for a photo with the Rodfather

Heavy lineup, Jeron, Atiba and Koston

Planned out or a total coincidence? Only Eldy and Daniel know the truth

Spanish was able to get the greatest skate rapper of all time on the line. For the 30 year, we’re gonna need a live performance

They say everyone that works in skating wears multiple hats, Nick Zegel knows

Mr. Malto knew nobody wanted to wait in line to get a pizza, so he blessed the squad with pies for days

Everyone wanted a photo with Mr. Malto, but Ernie got a call and had to tend to business

Even Rickk got a slice

With the beers running out and the pizza place closing shop, looks like St. Patty's day is over...

Thanks for the great night going down memory lane, Lakai. We’ll see you guys at the 40th!
