“Dear PoPville,
I had a missed connection last Friday at Kalorama Park!
To the guy reading Agatha Christie in Kalorama Park on Friday (10/30), I was the girl sitting next to you reading Gabriel García Márquez. We ended up talking about magical realism, US geography, France, and the existentialisms attached to our respective career paths.
We chatted long enough for the warm sun that had inspired us both to read outside to disappear, and I found myself wishing we’d exchanged numbers before you left.
In case you happen to see this, I’d love to have another park conversation with you soon!”
AND
“Dear PoPville,
Ryan from Adelaide– you graciously helped me, a stranger, plan my first trip to Australia.
I was too flustered to offer my number, and left with my soup ingredients from the farmers market instead. If you see this, let me know if you’re up for a fall coffee walk and tree stories. Sunday morning, 11/1, around 10-10:30 am in Dupont Circle.”
AND
“Dear PoPville,
P Rowing Pullover on 14th – Tuesday Night
You bumped into one and then two acquitances on 14th street in front of Red Rocks on Tuesday night, styling a Princeton rowing pullover. I was finishing a glass of wine and a book at Red Rocks, when we exchanged a few glances. I lingered as I was leaving and thought about coming over to ask your name. Wish that I had, because I loved your playful energy and thought about you walking home.
Second chance for a proper introduction, and perhaps a fun fall cocktail or autumn amble?”
