“Starting tomorrow, Tuesday the 9th, we’ll be showing two features (9pm and 11pm) every Tuesday night at MiG Bar on an 80 inch projector screen. The inaugural night will feature, perhaps somewhat predictably, Red Dawn and DC Cab.
Future features will surely include an attack dose of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 and lots of David Lynch and Jim Jarmusch and Hitchcock.”
MiG is located at 2226 18th st NW upstairs.
From an email:
“We are opening a new restaurant on 1612 14th St, NW called Pearl Dive Oyster Palace with a bar on the top floor named Black Jack. We have been getting a lot of request for reservations and to see the place. So in trying to accommodate these request we have decided to have a charity fundraiser for the Washington Nationals Diabetes Care Complex. We are hoping the neighbors will come out and help us support this worthy cause.”

“Dear PoPville,
Last Thursday, someone broke into my boyfriend’s apartment and made off with my laptop. Luckily, I have renter’s insurance and had just backed up my computer, so I will be able to replace the computer with little out of pocket pain and didn’t lose any of my data. And I already changed all my passwords, from online banking to gmail. However, my tax returns (complete with SSN) from the past several years are on the stolen computer and that’s why I’m asking for help.
Can you/lovely readers recommend anything I can do to be proactive about making sure no one is doing anything fishy with my social security number? I pulled my credit report right after it happened, so I have a snapshot of what my credit history looks like before any funny business happens but was hoping for some other proactive ways I could make sure I’ll be tipped off if anyone tries any funny business.
And yes, I’ll be sure to make those individual tax return documents password protected in the future.
Thanks!”
Anyone ever use a monitoring service?

“Dear PoPville,
I was walking past the park at the intersection of Sherman and Park and I saw a dog (probably a pit bull) swinging from a tree while a teenager/young adult was sitting next to it with headphones watching passively. The dog seemed to be biting a short rope tied to a branch so that it was hanging by its mouth as it swung around in the air. A police officer on a segway came, said something to the effect of “move along now,” the guy with the headphones released the dog from the rope and all went on their way.
My first thought was “WTF?” and my second thought was that the guy might have been using the rope as a way to strengthen the dog’s jaws and neck, likely training it for dogfights. That was just a guess though- I have no idea what it was about; the police officer didn’t seem too bothered by what was going on and the dog even seemed upset that it couldn’t swing anymore.
Any ideas?”
