“Dear PoPville,
Attached is the events section for the Mount Vernon Square Neighborhood Association. Please pay particular attention to Tuesday October 18th, right underneath Playground Night. Am I getting old or is this one of the dumbest moves ever. Maybe they are being ironic but I don’t know how you go to a strip joint ironically.”
The announcement is also posted [though note at the top of the page there is a line that says “The views expressed on this blog are of the individual posting and are not official positions of the Mount Vernon Square Neighborhood Association (MVSNA)”] in the Life in Mount Vernon Square blog:
“MVSNA will be meeting at our usual day & time, Tuesday October 18th, 7:30pm, at the Yale Loft Condo Lobby, 437 NY Ave NW. This will be a VERY brief meeting with a presentation from the NY Ave Playground Group. (the playground is located at NY, Kirby & N Sts NW).
At 8pm, we will head over to Louis’ Rogue at 5th & K Sts NW for a neighborhood happy hour. Please note that this is an adult establishment and thus not suitable for children.“
One commenter notes:
“So the meeting about a playground shooting will be “VERY brief” in order to allow everyone to rush over to the all-nude strip club? This is a sad and pathetic statement about this organization’s priorities.”
There is also a Facebook Page for the event titled Happy Hos Happy Hour.
