Alright, I’m not sure how well this next contest is going to work but it could be fun so I’ll see what the response will be. This idea came from a reader: “Coolest (most interesting) Roomate/Housemate in PoPville”. Could be fun. So if you’d like to enter take a photo of your roomate and add a few lines of text explaining why you are nominating them. Send me an email at [email protected] and I’ll see if there are enough entries at the end of the week to make it a proper contest.
And here’s another cool contest coming in early October – a PoP Scavenger hunt. This is also the brainchild of a reader who is in the process of devising the hunt which will cover all of PoPville but mainly focusing on Petworth, North Country, Columbia Heights, Mt. Pleasant, Adams Morgan and U Street/Logan Circle/Shaw. It sounds like it is going to be pretty awesome, more details on that to come.
Finally, there is a new forum section called group meet ups. There is already interest in a tennis meetup. So if you’re looking for some tennis check out the forum.
