LA Erotic Film Festival: The Afterparty

After a weekend of such incendiary adult films as "Give Piece of Ass a Chance" and "Spiders in Love: An Arachnogasmic Musical" premiering at this year's XFanz LA Erotic Film Festival, it seemed only logical to bring to you the excitement and decadence of the festival afterparty. The Knitting Factory in Hollywood was packed Saturday night with industry folks, Mutaytor performers, and Cirque Berzerk dudes, not to mention a brief appearance by Mr. Ron Jeremy. After all, what kind of LA party is it without him? Check out more pics and vids (mildly NSFW) after the jump.
