WHEN: SATURDAY, Oct. 20  •  10 p.m.-midnight
WHERE: Nellie’s Sports Bar, 900 U St. NW

AND I CARE BECAUSE? Nellie’s put out the food and Diageo, the Official Alcohol Sponsor of Reel Affirmations, put out the cocktails to help us close the 17th annual film festival. Patrons enjoyed the TV screens — who new so many film fans were sports fans? — and the second-floor outdoor deck, as they caught up with friends and discussed the closing night film, The Walker. One In Ten Executive Director Margaret Murray led a Moet Champagne toast as we announced audience favorites.
