Enjoying a night out sans the wife and kid, Pete Wentz attended Crush Management’s VMA After Party at Angels & Kings in New York City last night (September 13).

Presented by CK Free, the Fall Out Boy bassist sipped on a slew of free drinks and rubbed elbows with the likes of Caitlin Crosby, Gabe Saporta, Laura Cohen and a bunch of other people we’ve never heard of.

Pete and the rest of the boys of FOB were nominated for Best Rock Video for I Don’t Care, but they understandably lost out to Green Day. Tweeted Pete: “If you gotta lose one, Green Day is the band to do it to. Honored to be even in the same sentence. Congrats.”
