“Dear PoPville,
It has been too long since we have written one another. How the dreary, steamy days of Summer do drag on. Upon a goose down pillow eating grapes, battered by the radiant sun, I now fondly remember the announcement of our Electric Coney Inaugural .5K Labor Day Race. Oh for the innocent days of 2022!
We were all filled with so much hope for ’23, but alas, two thirds has nearly passed and we have hardly had a nice day to lounge in Rock Creek Park, eating caviar and toasting the inestimable successes of our royal positions. But fear not, friend, for the Electric Coney Second Annual .5K Labor Day Race is nearly upon us. My court is aflutter with news that our jester has even grander plans for this year’s festivities.
I have heard that libations of an alarming quantity shall flow, feats of strength (or the lack there of) witnessed, trinkets unleashed on the peasants, and hot dogs consumed by all. May the joy of Fall’s imminent arrival and the sight of sweaty serfs running raise all of our spirits.
Should you or any of your Northern Court wish to attend, tickets are available here, while supplies last.
With warmest regards and deepest respect,
The Sultan of Shaw

P.P.S. Ivy and Coney and Electric Cool-Aid say hello, too”
