Dear PoPville – Ethics for the Rapture?

“Dear PoPville,

So this Saturday is supposed to be Judgement Day – AKA “The Rapture” when all the Believers get sucked up to heaven. I have some questions. Once my neighbors vanish, am I allowed to go into their houses and take their stuff? Can I just move into an empty raptured house? Do you think I should stay off the Beltway on Sunday? All those empty cars are going to crash! Do Raptured people leave their clothes behind? I know a woman with some dynamite designer clothes – if I follow her around is that considered stalking?

Seriously though (yeah right) are there any end-of-the-world festivities going on this weekend?”

I know Duffy’s (a PoP advertiser) is having a Doomsday happy hour:

DoomsdayHappy Hour!
This Saturday 5pm to 8pm

What a better way to mark the beginning of the end of the World than with a great Happy Hour!

All Beers Half Price til 8pm!
Wings Half Price til 8pm!

Duffy’s Irish Pub
2106 Vermont Ave NW

Anyone know of any other fun doomsday events/specials for Saturday?

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!
