The election and our 18th anniversary are only one week away! And for those of you who remember the really crazy days of yesteryear – you know we will always here for you. And I’ve no doubt we will be here for you for many years to come – but that requires your help. Thanks to so many who have contributed and continue to send tips, photos and questions. You are our lifeblood.

In order for our long term viability to be secure, I’d ask our regular readers, or really anyone who finds this site useful – to please join our Patreon and give whatever you feel comfortable with. Again, only if you are able. But if you are able – it will ensure our long term existence.

The algorithms of social media etc. are fickle as hell. So one way to ensure you are getting all the goods we post everyday is to please sign up for our free daily newsletter round up, which has all that day’s posts. And of course you should still follow us on your preferred Social Media @PoPville – Instagram/X/Facebook/Threads.

The state of PoPville is strong. Everyday I am amazed at all the content we cover – thanks to you guys!! I do not take this or you for granted. 18 years is a crazy long time.  So let me just say – thank you, thank you, and thank you for making it all possible.

And don’t forget to vote if you haven’t already!

OK I promise I’ll stop with these annoying posts now :) As a token of my gratitude please enjoy a photo of Pumpkin the pirate parrot chilling in Dupont Circle: (more…)

Alright y’all – I’m taking a little breather next week and won’t be checking email/messages or updating here until January 2, 2024. Crazy writing 2024!! I will have some Rant/Revel posts going up next week after Christmas so it won’t be complete radio silence here but I won’t be adding fresh content till the 2nd. Wishing all on the road, safe travels, and wherever you are, wishing you peace, happiness and hope for a meaningful 2024!

As we’ve entered our 18th year of chronicling the happenings in DC I have a few requests: with the unpredictability of social media algorithms and the insanity of twitter/x I ask that you please sign up for our free daily email roundup which goes out every weekday at 4pm – this ensures that you won’t miss a post.

Having said that, you can follow us on Social Media @PoPville on Instagram/Threads, Facebook and of course Twitter/X. And respect to the old school who just come straight here to www.PoPville.com directly.

Finally, if we’re gonna make it in the long term, we’re gonna make it together so please consider joining the community on Patreon here.

Thanks for sticking with us through it all – here’s to a great 2024!!

Cheers,
Dan

Get yours here!

17 years is a lot of walkabouts, a lot of photos, a lot of messages, a lot of ups and downs and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. 17 years is such a crazy number to write. 17 years. 17 years of openings and closings and everything in between. A lot has happened in that time. I remember most of it. If you’re overwhelmed by some of the current coverage here or on social media, as I know I am at times, just know – it’s always up and down and, hopefully, ultimately up.

As I do every year I just want to thank you, the readers for making this all possible. I do not take you for granted. And I know that I could not share so much news/info without your tips, emails, photos etc. So truly, thank you, thank you, thank you – and keep them coming! [[email protected] or @PoPville on social media.]

And if you are in place to contribute to our long term survival please consider joining our Patreon. Whether you are able to give $2 or $20 a month it all helps. And you’ll get a bonus PoPville Plus + post every Wednesday.

If you’d rather buy me a “beer or coffee” that would be much appreciated too and you can do so here.

Thanks for considering and thanks to all who have supported us over the years.

Another good way to help out is to sign up for our free daily newsletter so you never miss a post. Oh yeah and if you want to pick up a shirt or other merch you can do so here.

This year I’m going to tip back a few beers at my beloved Looking Glass Lounge (3634 Georgia Ave, NW) remembering where it all started. So if you’re around Thursday November 2nd, come join me for a beer or three. I’ll be there from around 6-10pm and will post a reminder as we get closer to the date. Cheers!
