Ghosts of Georgetown Walking Tour
We had a great group of 20+ folks who made it out to this walking tour in Georegtown. Stories of gruesome murders and haunting spirits were recounted as we walked past the respective crime scenes in Georgetown.
Some of the stories are considered urban legends so they should not deter you from feeling safe in Georgetown. The DC police has always kept this trendy neighborhood safe. After the tour, we headed to a restaurant for a late night dinner to chat and enjoy the Georgtown night life.

Now, what would October be, without a few upcoming NAAAP-DC events?
Screening of "DARK MATTER"
October 4, 2007, Thurs 7 p.m. @ Landmark E St. Cinema
NAAAP-DC is the supporting community sponsor of the Oct. 4 screening at Landmark E St. Cinema of: DARK MATTER, directed by Chen Shi-Zheng. In his bold, chilling feature film debut, Chinese opera director Chen Shi-zheng examines the bitter politics of academia and the clashing of disparate cultures.
Liu Ye (CURSE OF THE GOLDEN FLOWER) plays Liu Xing, a modest but brilliant graduate student from Beijing who comes to an American university to study the origins of the universe under famed cosmologist Jacob Reiser (Aidan Quinn). Recognizing the student's enormous talent, Reiser turns Liu Xing into his protege, bringing him to prestigious academic conferences and inviting him to department gatherings outside the classroom. As a foreigner in a new environment, Liu Xing is acclimated into American culture by the kind and well-meaning Joanna Silver, a wealthy university patron played by Meryl Streep, and an American waitress at a nearby cafe, with whom he strikes up a casual flirtation. During his tireless research on dark matter, the unseen substance that shapes the universe, Liu Xing stumbles across findings that threaten Reiser's established model. Against his professor's stern warnings, and blinded by his own ambitions, he publishes his sweeping dissertation, only to have it ultimately rejected. With a jobless, bleak future ahead of him, on top of the impending shame of his family back in China, he resorts to one final, cataclysmic act.
Based loosely on true events that occurred at the University of Iowa in 1991, DARK MATTER won the Alfred P. Sloan Feature Film Prize for best film relating to science or technology at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.
