Dear PoPville,

A friend of mine, Jay Hixson, has gone missing. Roommates, coworkers, friends, family, no one has seen or heard from him in a week, and we’re all super worried. He lives near the Red Derby (14th and Qunicy St, NW), works in the Pentagon City mall, and is a rather distinctive dude (had impressive beard last time we saw him.) He’s about 5’8, 210, and has large silver gauges in his earlobes.

If you see him, please contact police, or me (wombatina(at)gmail). He was hospitalized recently, and should be on steady meds. The police do have a missing persons report filed on him as of this morning.
