FILM (Option 2)
An advance screening of Chicago 10, directed by Brett Morgen, plays at the Hammer tonight. He combines news and archival footage to follow the eight men arrested during the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago. Where there are gaps in the storyline - including a farcical trial - Morgen inserts animation, featuring the voices of Mark Ruffalo, Hank Azaria and Tom Hayden (Yes, that Tom Hayden, who was one of the eight men arrested at the convention.)
7 pm // Billy Wilder Theater @ the Hammer // 10899 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles // Free with RSVP (You must RSVP. And get there early because they'll only let the first 250 people in the door.)
DRINK
If you didn't get enough drinks or politics at LAist's Super Tuesday event, or if you want to wallow in the fact that your candidate didn't do as well as you had hoped, then join the folks of the San Fernando Valley's Drinking Liberally chapter. As part of a nationwide organization, Drinking Liberally gives left-leaning folks a place to talk politics over a few drinks. Unlike your Mom's Thanksgiving dinner table, it's ok to talk about politics here.
7pm // The White Harte Pub // 22456 Ventura Blvd., Woodland Hills // Free.
