Ep. 333 – AnneCast Vol. 7 – Annecomings

About this episode

The episode explores Eric's home renovation journey while reflecting on the homes of Anne Rice.

Homecoming Month begins with a Dinner Partners style house tour. You’ve been asking for the final chapter of Eric’s home renovation saga, and it’s high time we blew the drywall dust of ourselves and delivered it to you. And this raised a very important question. Our beloved premier party person Anne Rice passed away before Eric started his journey into headaches and hot water heaters. Would she have approved of the end result? To find our answer, we travel back through time to discuss the homes Anne lived in throughout her career, from the classic and understated elegance of the San Francisco Edwardian where she wrote “The Vampire Lestat” to the gothic splendor of the Garden District mansion where “The Witching Hour” exploded onto the page. Take a very special peek behind the heavy velvet curtAnnes.
