I received an exciting email from John Hanshaw announcing the premier Guerrilla Film Club’s first happy hour and film screening. John is a maestro and you are guaranteed the best time in Washington.

Please join me on this Friday, March 11th (tomorrow!) for the GUERRILLA FILM CLUB’s first happy hour and film screening. The Club (there are no membership dues) is a smaller and less formal event than my film fest (GUERRILLA FILM FEST) and we will meet about once a month for a happy hour and a film screening. Feel free to forward on this invitation!
