A few days ago (or was it weeks ago?!), Roger premiered their latest video offering—Sucker Punch. The aforementioned activity took place at Feel So Good Records in South Austin. Take a virtual tour of the friends and family who rolled through and find out who turned pro. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t me! —Michael Sieben

Early arrivers were treated to the techno sensitivities of DJ Bubby Mane

Or if you’re in the over-40 club, maybe just drink some damn water. Elias Bingham and the author get Weird

Okay, back to the under-40 club. Daniel (SAGE) and Max in their finest workwear

Jared (Idlewild) and Max do a hand thing

Hawkeye Glenn (Cosmo’s dad), Max (again) and Cosmo

Ryan Thompson and Kat. Ryan has three video parts that are gonna hit this site as soon as the music rights clear. Music is hard, man

Guru Khalsa, Max Taylor and Calvin Millar (the homie responsible for putting this video together). That’s Reese Barton in the shadows. He’s low-key like that

Calvin and Anna with proper product placement

Tom, Drew, Matt, Jes and Austin

Mike, Henry, Vinney, Aaron and Daniel with some unsanctioned bevs…

…and what appears to be a very poorly-constructed cigarette

Simone, Ryan, James and Steve, feeling so good

What? You thought the Triple OGs weren’t gonna make it out? You crazy

The kids were there, too—Mau, Trey and Alex

DGK—Dental Gold Kid

Lindsey Mackin of Annabelle Chairlegs and Justin in the green room

Dharam, D-Roy, Mike and Sean, ready for the damn video to start

Babies were welcomed

As were watermelons. Noah brought one in remembrance of Gallagher

Got a mom? Bring her along. Garrett Young did

After everybody was sufficiently leveled up with free beverages, the feature film began…

…and ended with a big announcement—Austin Amelio and Garrett Young are the newest pros for Roger!

The boards came out

The vibes were crazy high

All the homies rushed in

It was hard not to get swept up in the emotion of it all

I might have shed a few tears. Quietly. In the corner

The news was on the ‘Gram seconds later. What an age…

What did you get? I got a lizard

Real hyped for these humans

And as if that wasn’t enough excitement for the night, Annabelle Chairlegs played a set as soon as the champagne stopped flying

Always a treat

It basically turned into a giant party after that, which meant it was time for my old ass to go home and get some sleep

’Til next time. Thanks to Feel So Good for hosting the event, Thirsty Planet Brewing Co. for supplying adult refreshments, Drink Weird for keeping the hydration levels up, No-Comply skateshop for… well, for damn near everything, and thanks to all of the delightful people who came out to support Austin, Garrett and the rest of the Rogers on such a monumental night. The video should be online soon. Gotta wait for this SOTY madness to mellow out a bit. Jeez Louise…
