Halloween

Well Dupont, at first I thought Georgetown owned us at decorating for Halloween.  I was there last weekend and there were some amazing decorations.  I hadn’t seen anything besides tasteful pumpkins-on-steps displays around here.  But maybe we are just late bloomers, because over the past week I’ve noticed more creative efforts.

This creeper is on 21st between Q and R:

While not spooky, these pumpkins win creativity points:

10430_7501Don’t forget!  As if you could.  The annual High Heel Race on 17th St., organized by JR’s Bar and Grill, is tomorrow evening.  The race begins around 9:00 pm (the start is at R St., the finish is at Church St.) but people begin showing up for a good spot around 6.  Trust me, if you get there at 9, you will not be able to see a thing.  DSC00639

Unless . . . you purchase a VIP spot from Historic Dupont Circle Main Streets, the beneficiary of this year’s race proceeds.  Tickets are $40, and the price includes a guaranteed (standing) spot in a reserved area at the finish line and a bar “fast pass” that rockets you to the head of the line at a few 17th St. bars.  $40 to get a great view and avoid standing on the street for three hours is probably worth it, folks.  Word is there are a few VIP passes left, but the deadline is midnight tonight.  So act fast!   Faster than a queen in heels.
