Nice timing on joining the boards, I know.
I thought some may be interested:
Dupont Circle's Halloween tradition.
Details 8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 24
Editorial Review Traditionally held on the Tuesday before Halloween, this annual neighborhood event features elaborately costumed drag queens racing down 17th Street (from Q to Church streets) and attracts a large crowd eager to cheer them on.
The race begins at 8, but the real fun takes place before the main event, as the contestants parade up and down the race course showing off their outfits.
To get a street-side seat at an on-course cafe like JR's or the Fox & Hounds, stake out your spot by 6. (There's plenty of space along the sidewalk, though crowds often block the view.) The informal block party continues long after the last Mary Jane (size 13 EE) crosses the finish line.
