With every independent theater closure, my heart breaks for our fair city. But I'm more than grateful that we still have a bunch of great outlets for film, including the Northwest Film Forum - so I feel compelled to sway y'all to support it as much as you can.

Their annual fundraising Gala-Ga is at the Georgetown Ballroom on Friday, May 6 and features a fancy-schmancy wine reception and delectable dinner by Seattle food maestro Tom Douglas, followed by an auction - and my favorite part: an 80s dance party!

Tix are a leetle steep at $75, but considering the food & wine quotient and the fact that it all goes to a good cinematic cause, it seems more than worth the splurge. If your wallet is tight, you can show up at 10pm for the after-party dance portion and get in for a mere $10. Go! Drink! Eat! Dance! And most importantly, support our amazing NWFF.
