Talk of the Town - House of sin July 10 2002
Three-bedroom, two-story split-level in Towne Lake
Creative Loafing: I feel so relaxed in here. Your yard is beautiful. The hibiscus trees and plants are in full bloom.
Adrienne Freeman: My mom usually comes over once a week and we garden together. But this summer, our garden night is now spent packing up wine and a picnic basket to go to Screen on the Green together. We have such a great time visiting with friends, sitting outside and enjoying the summer evenings. My father is helping me remodel my basement. Would you like to see?
Definitely.
Once this room is finished, the House of Sin parties will mainly take place down here. The pool table will go here, and there will be recessed lights above. There’s going to be one of those huge wide-screen TVs on the wall opposite the pool table. The guest bedroom will be full of antique furniture — my dad’s donating an old Victrola. My dad’s also giving me a vintage Coca- Cola ice chest for beer.
Sounds like it will be quite the happening place. But what exactly is the House of Sin?
Well, whenever I have a function and certain people are invited and certain people consume alcohol, then certain people become wild exhibitionists.
So you haven’t had the cops called on you for these parties?
Nope. But there are definitely tons of cops in Towne Lake. It’s unbelievable how many there are. It makes me feel safer, but it’s not good when I’m going above the speed limit. But I’d rather them be here. If I get a speeding ticket, it’s my fault. I think [all the cops] make people think twice about committing a crime here.
Your puppy keeps licking my hair.
That’s Red Bone, Dene’s dog. He doesn’t get along with my dogs, Spawn and Storm. All of my animals are named after superheroes, except Baby Girl. I just found a “present” from her in my bedroom. Usually, she wears a collar with a bell on it to alert the birds that she creeps up on and tries to catch. I guess she lost it. Now there’s a dead bird on my floor. I don’t want to touch it!
If you get me a plastic bag, I’ll clean it up for you.
Really? Thanks!??
