Can you “come up with at least 2 fun activities, not including a museum, to do without spending more than $20?”

“Dear PoPville,

Everyone knows that DC can be a very expensive place to live, I myself am trying to cut back on spending too much and too frequently on fun things to do. I asked my friends if they could come up with at least 2 fun activities, not including a museum, to do without spending more than $20.

Most of them got stumped when I told them they couldn’t go to the Smithsonian which is obviously free; too easy lol. So I gave them this example of what I would do on a Friday night:

1. Go to Chicken + Whiskey on 14th St and get their 1/4 dark chicken platter and throw on a Churro donut for desert

2. Catch Capital Laughs’ Comedy show right down the street at Cafe St Ex (Which you only have to make a $1 donation for)

All under $20

I’m always open to new ways of saving even less money while still having a good time in DC!”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
