Thanks to all who sent emails to congratulate me. I was a bit surprised as I came in behind the two juggernauts – Wonkette and DCist. Since I didn’t campaign for this honor I certainly didn’t expect it. And it is truly super sweet. So thanks to everyone who voted PoP for best local blog.

Mark your calendars, at long last the next PoP happy hour is this Thursday from 7pm on at Solly’s located at 11th and U. This is just a regular happy hour where you can meet lots of your neighbors and drink some beers. I’ll bring plenty of PoP t-shirts in case anyone would like to purchase one. There will be some unaffiliated bands playing at 8:30 pm but I say that’s super cool. Hope you can make it!
Now for some other admin notes. I’m looking for some more contributors. Specifically, folks who live in Bloomingdale, Brookland, Anacostia, Eckington, Mt. Pleasant, Penn Quarter/Chinatown, H Street, NE. Other neighborhoods are of course welcome as well. Additionally, if anyone is interested in the DC museum scene please email me at princeofpetworth (at) gmail (dot) com.
Finally, a number of readers have asked me to set up a twitter account. Is that something you’d be interested in?
See you Thursday!
