“Dear PoPville,
This is such a long shot, but I (sky blue hoodie) struck up a conversation with an Illinois girl on the metro today (Saturday evening, 11/7, from Columbia Heights), and I missed an opportunity to ask her if she’d like to go see some live music together, after we talked about it. She was wearing a studded beige jacket and black boots, and I think she got off the train at Archives.
I was so distracted by how radiant her smile was, to tell you the truth, that I completely missed the opportunity to say, hey, why don’t we go to live music together on Friday at the bar you mentioned? After she mentioned that a bar does live music on Fridays. Even if it isn’t our usual crowd, as we said!
If you see this: I’d love to ask the question I should’ve asked.”
AND
“Dear PoPville,
Saturday 11/7 around 10pm on the Green Line
You–dark curly hair, black clothes, black lace up boots. You were sketching in a black notebook.
Before you exited at College Park you complimented my outfit and scarf. I said thanks.
Me–brown boots, terra cotta tights, muted mustard dress, gray overcoat and sparkly black scarf. I was reading a program from a play about Frida Kahlo.
I’m much older than you, so your compliment took me by surprise. I wish I’d had the chance to thank you properly.”
