The Guest List:

NORTHWEST -- It was SOME good time at the Corcoran Gallery of Art on Friday night, as hundreds of the District's young professionals turned out in support of the city's disadvantaged.



Hosted by a subgroup of the nonprofit known as So Others Might Eat (SOME) oriented primarily towards the city's twenty-somethings, the black tie gala drew a crowd for an eleventh straight year.



Tickets were divided into two tiers, with the more expensive VIP badges granting guests access to a premium open bar on the museum's upper level which served a bevy of signature cocktails.



VIP admission also ensured purchasers a seat on one of the event's fleet of buses, which had been specially chartered to ferry revelers to the official after party at Dupont Circle hotspot The Huxley.



Originally conceived in 1970 as a small soup kitchen designed to help feed some of the city's most destitute citizens, SOME's mission has grown over the years and the organization now manages a variety of different support programs, including a substance abuse one and a one geared toward the homebound elderly.



Proceeds from Friday's Junior gala will be specifically purposed to support SOME's affordable housing initiatives for D.C. families. Beyond ticket sales, organizers sought out corporate underwriters of between $250 and $10,000.



The 2014 event was co-chaired by Chris Brimsek, Keith Carr, and Zach Dugan.
