Hey, it’s getting closer to Oscar Day and if you’re jonesin’ to watch the show in style, then here’s a list (which I snagged from the SIFF newsletter; Thanks SIFF!) of various parties going on in the Puget Sound region, most of which serve as fundraisers for various non-profits, so you can pick and choose based on your favorite group, location, or your desire to hang out with local celebrity and everyone’s favorite Top Gunner, Tom Skerritt…
- Gay City Health Project & Three Dollar Bill Cinema at SoDo Park, $25-$40
- 2nd Annual Reel Grrls Oscar® Party at Central Cinema, $25-$79
- 4th Annual BIG Oscar Bash benefiting Big Brothers and Big Sisters at the MODA Room, Copper Cart Cafe in Belltown, $35-$100
- A Night at the Oscars at Hotel 1000, $65
- The Film School at The Triple Door, $150 (Hosted by Mr and Mrs Skerritt)
- Grand Cinema Hosts Tacoma’s Academy Awards Party Live at the Rialto, $15-$18
- Walk the Red Carpet for Children’s Hospital at Lincoln Square Cinema, $50
- Washington Filmworks at Spitfire, 4:00pm, $10
And, don’t forget that many local bars will be throwing parties as well, including Purr, Madison Pub and R Place, but those parties will probably not be featuring Mr. Skerritt…(yes, I am obsessed with him!)
