''With the party-like atmosphere, some people become regular open-house goers, even if they aren't looking for a house. Judy George-Garza, a historic preservationist in Austin, first came to one of Mr. Herbert's parties about a year ago, after coming across his Web site, www.vintagemodernhomes.com. She wasn't in the market to buy a home, but given her interest in preservation, she wanted to see the updates on the house. She's now been to at least six of the events.''
