Jared Eberhardt was nice enough to hand over his photos from the event. Ah! Seems like it was only yesterday. Oh, wait…bad joke.

That’s it for the 2008 Downtown Showdown. Thanks to everyone for making it amazing and congrats to all the teams. And most of all to Blind for killing it. Kristy Van Doren finished writing the winner’s checks and gave away the guitars. See you next year.

Throwing swag, Vern the announcer has a dred battle with a kid. Vern says his aren’t extensions.

Packed in here pretty tight trying to see this one going down. Competition looks serious at the drop in. A judge kept yelling in my ear and I turned around to see it was Cardiel. Guess it’s okay then. I tried to look at his scores but he busted me. This is awesome.

Bob and the gang have been cooking hotdogs all day. I just heard a girl ask for mayo. The reply? “We ain’t in France, honey.” She was pumped for ketchup. No worries.

Ran into this guy. Best shirt ever. But we know it’s not just a shirt…it’s a way of life. “loyal to no one!” ahhhhh! This guy had to drive in here in the car from Death Proof.

Snuck in behind the guys while they were filming the webcast in one of those fake buildings. Best view of the contest.

Definitely one of the Showdown’s toughest obstacles to date.

The TMZ guy always has shittie picks of celebs and their friends… Haha so here’s one of him and his friends.
