Want a 5pm Post?

By Prince Of Petworth

A reader wrote in last week suggesting that I start doing a 5pm final post. I said, I’m cool with it if you guys are. So what type of post would you like to see at 5pm? A roundup of the day’s neighborhood news? A real estate/development type post? More restaurant news? Or something real chill like an interesting architectural feature, sign, art etc? Or something all together different?

And if you have other suggestions don’t hesitate to tell me in person on Wed. at the next PoP Happy Hour at Duffy’s starting at 6:30pm.

I’ve scheduled the next PoP Happy Hour for Wed. Aug. 11th from 6:30pm – 10:30pm. Here’s what I’m thinking: I figure we can have parents with little kids swing by around 6:30 – 7:30pm and then properly defile ourselves from 8 on? I’ll have new PoP t-shirts on hand for people I owe and for those that want to purchase to some.

So here are the details – it’ll be at Duffy’s (a PoP advertiser) located right behind the 9:30 Club on Vermont Ave. Here are the specials:

$10 Pitchers of Miller lite
$2 Tall Boy PBR | High Life | Bud
$4 20oz Drafts of Guinness | Kilkenny | Yuengling | Sam’s | Sam’s Summer
$16 Pitchers of Yuengling | Sam’s | Sam’s Summer
1/2 Price Wings

See ya Wed. the 11th!

Congrats to Sam with:

“NASA found DC’s pothole riddled streets to be the perfect training ground for the Mars Rover.”

and runner up to Collin with:

“Huh, well that’s funny. This looks nothing like the streetcars we ordered in the catalog.”

You can pick up your t-shirts at the spring happy hour at Social (14th and Meridian Streets, NW).

Ed. Note: I’m fighting a bit of a head cold and sore throat so I’m going to the Irish Whiskey straight away at 7pm, if you get to the hh past 9pm I’d like to apologize in advance for anything I might say…

Don’t Forget PoP Happy Hour Thursday the 29th at Social 7-10pm

By Prince Of Petworth

Just a reminder that the PoP spring happy hour is tomorrow night at Social (14th and Meridian Streets, NW – Columbia Heights Metro). It’s fixing to be a good time. I’ve picked the special drink suggested by Minnie:

“How about a gin sidecar? Equal parts gin, Triple Sec, lemon/lime juice. A sprig of mint if you’re feeling fancy.

And of course, you’ll need a snappy name. If it’s made with lemon, it’s the Yellow Line; if it’s made with lime, it’s the Green Line. Yum!”

We’ll call it the Green Line and Minne you get a PoP t-shirt for picking the winner. Also $1 from this drink will be donated to CentroNia (http://www.centronia.org/html/about_us.html).

Looking forward to meeting many of you!

Ed. Note: The photo above was taken from the photography competition ‘Portraits of DC’. The 51 winners are exhibited at Social and they had an opening reception last night though you’ll be able to see them tomorrow night. It was packed! Photos from the event after the jump. (more…)

PoP Spring Happy Hour Set For April 29th at Social in Columbia Heights

By Prince Of Petworth

I’ve been meaning to schedule this happy hour for a long time but hopefully this is gonna be worth the wait. The folks at Social (14th and Meridian Streets, NW) have been very generous in offering up their space for the happy hour. The happy hour will take place Thursday, April 29th from 7-10pm. Happy hour prices will be extended for the event. And here’s something even cooler – they’ve agreed to create a PoP cocktail for the event and everytime somebody orders one they will donate a $1 to a charity of our choice.

So I need your help with this. First, any suggestions for a springlike cocktail (I’m thinking something with gin). And, which local charity should we give the donation to? I’d like it to have something to do with children if possible. Leave your suggestions in the comments and I’ll make a selection close to the date.

So mark your calendars for the next PoP happy hour – Thurs. April 29th at Social from 7 – 10pm. If I owe you a PoP t-shirt you can pick it up here and t-shirts will also be available for purchase if you’d like. Hope to see many of you here!

Me and the Blogger from And Now, Anacostia Speaking This Friday

By Prince Of Petworth

Ready Set DC has started a monthly event called Art of the Blog. The event will focus on different areas (food, neighborhoods, art, music etc.). Anyway first up is neighborhoods. I’m looking forward to talking about what it is exactly that I do along with And Now, Anacostia blogger, David Garber. It’s starts a bit on the early side but should be fun. I’m hoping there will be a significant question and answer section so feel free to ask me anything (personal or professional) on your mind!

Friday, February 26th from 6 to 8pm
At DISTRICT | 2473 18th Street NW
