Ish Cepeda's "Gas Giants" Premiere Photos
8/28/2022
We all love a big premiere with our favorite names on the marquee and a packed theater full of cheering maniacs. We also love a bring-your-own-projector affair where all you need is a crew and a wall. Ish went with the latter on Beverly Hills Boulevard for his new Gas Giants vid. You already know we were fuckin’ with it

A little peace and quiet at Escuala in West Hollywood before the crowd arrives
Our guy was out front showing off the new gear
The Texas boys know how to tailgate
Punctual people, NAK and Kevin White both showed up at 7 PM sharp
One of the all-time switch skaters, Pete Eldridge came through
Taylor Kirby is not as much a switch guy, but still an all-time skater
Tanner, Allen and crew had to make it out for Ish
“So where’s the venue?”
You’re lookin’ at it. Ish teamed up with the projection company Wally to get Gas Giants showing over one of LA’s busiest streets
Deathwish boys Kaylanne and Foy
Smiles for miles, Dashawn snapped up next door at Burger She Wrote
Midler, always doing something loud
As if the crowd couldn’t get any more elite, we got Ishod too
CPH goes Hollywood
Kader at least ten feet from the entrance, or is 25?
This might be my favorite photo of the night. At this point the restaurant gave up and started serving food to the bed of the truck
"Let’s start this thing!"
Patrick Praman and Gabriel Fortunato talkin' spots
Dinner and a show
One of the cooler premiere setups I’ve seen
And Ish got enough footage at this premiere to make a whole other video
Carlisle Aikens, one of the smoothest in the game
Dre and Devin made the trek up from LB
Reese Salken and Christian Henry hug it out
Greyson Beal and Taylor Kirby congratulate the man of the hour on a job well done
Then came the fireworks
And Neckface wasn’t even there!
Grabbed one last photo and it was time to dip before the cops came
