“Dear PoPville,
Basically, I had a long chat with a wonderful gal at AWS Summit 2025 (last year) and I was just reminded about that missed opportunity when this year’s conference just ended. I felt that we really vibed and I’d love to get to know her more. I’m throwing a hail-mary today and also posted to the DC area subreddits.
Full story below:
I know I know…. This is a bit late, but AWS Summit 2026 just ended and I’m still kicking myself for not asking your number.
At last year’s conference, I was with an older colleague and a bit lost on the second floor. I think you interjected to give me some advice and we ended up chatting about random things. My colleague left us to it when we started talking about our music tastes (punk/emo music), and I remember that, at the time, you hadn’t ever been to Warped Tour before.
If it helps, I was about your height, clean-shaven in a suit, and a punkhead who works with emergency housing and aid. You were wearing your goth outfit w/ a skirt and said you were a fed accountant on the orange line.
I know I put my foot in my mouth a bit, I’m a bit awkward, but overall, I remember us vibing well. When I asked you to an after-hours thing, you seemed interested in hanging. We just couldn’t make it work because of work dinners. Worse, I was late for a session and ran off without asking you for your number.
Warped Tour’s over this year, but if you remember me and you’d like to take me up on drinks or an indie concert sometime, I’d love to get to know you more.
P.S. If anyone knows someone that fits this description, would you please share it with them?”
