From Grand Duchess (former Pharmacy Bar, High Dive):

“We’ve installed a translucent screen that fits the entire way across our bay window so that movies can be seen from inside as well as outside the bar. Showtime is 9pm.

Next Tuesday (the 26th) we will be showing Step Brothers, followed by Point Break on Oct 3rd. For the rest of October, we will be doing Tuesday night horror double features in the lead up to Halloween: flicks like From Dusk Till Dawn, Suspiria, Jason Takes Manhattan, etc.”

“Like Dave Chapelle, I would like to unexpectedly thank D.C. public schools, because I think it’d be great if they started trending on Twitter for no reason tonight whatsoever,” Oliver said. “So if you’re tweeting about the Emmys, please use the hashtag, #DCpublicschools.”
