Well. You know the drill. It’s “mostly dating, but sometimes about life in Dupont.” So, I’m posting about the Dupont Circle House Tour this coming Sunday, October 15th, in case anyone was interested in going.
The self-guided walking tour will be held Sunday, October 15, 2006 from noon to 5 pm and features 12 distinctive homes in the Dupont Circle area. Many trend-setting construction projects have marked the neighborhood, and the House Tour highlights a variety of residential living spaces, emphasizing innovation, variety, and personal style.
Advance tickets for the event are $25 and may be purchased via PayPal on the DCCA Web site, www.dupont-circle.com. Tickets on the day of the tour are $30 and will be available at the Washington Club and at the Dupont Circle Farmers Market. Advance tickets will also be available mid-September at the following local retailers:

You’re giving the tours?
I’m just not sure I want to tour empty abodes in Velvet’s neck of the woods. I hear what goes on when no one is looking…
Needtsza – I’ll be a “monitor” at one of the houses. There are 12 houses in total, it should be fun.
Law-Rah – HA HA HA! No way man. The “Alta” is in Thomas Circle. I prefer to do those things in other neighborhoods, not in places where they know me!
I don’t have anything to say about house tours, so I’ll just note I read “Dating Lab” in the Sunday Post magazine, and that poor woman was on the blind date from HELL. Texting during the meal, leaving her several times to …what did he say…tap one off? and really making phone calls. Total ZERO. Time for you to do a “things not to do on a first date” list, Velvet.
heh. I should go on the tour and see if I can figure out which is you. LOL
