The 2nd annual Ebbit Grill Block Party is June 19th this year. The organizers have been kind enough to give away 2 VIP Tickets to a PoP reader. So to win this contest I ask that you share the best festival you’ve ever attended and if you haven’t attended any good ones then share the best meal you’ve ever had. I’ll select the winner Monday night.

For those who don’t win you can get $10 off regular tickets if you use the following code:

“The promo code will be POPBLOCK2010 and will be good for $10 off each ticket purchase through the website through 6/16/10.”

Here’s a bit more info about the event from an email:

“It’s summer in the city and the sun’s out so it’s time to shut down G street and turn up the music. Join us as we push DC summertime into full swing! The 2nd Annual Ebbitt Block Party has quickly established itself as DC’s premiere street festival and tastiest cookout. We will be parking ourselves on the 1400 block of G street, paving the way for hours of non stop musical performances and sparking up the grills for signature Old Ebbitt Grill food and drink! Write the date down and sunscreen up, we can’t wait to see you there!

We are joined again this summer by our charitable partner, the DC Central Kitchen who will again be collecting canned or commercially packaged nuts and raisins, as well as can openers. Bring something to contribute and receive a free raffle ticket for each item!

The winner will receive 2 VIP tickets which include:

GA Block Party Ticket Includes …

* Entrance to the Premiere Cookout and Street Festival brought to you by the Old Ebbitt Grill
* 7 hours of live music
* 10 Performances by 6 bands on 3 stages

With 3 stages, 6 bands, and 7 hours of music, the block is gonna rock! We’ll have 2 Street Stages as well as a Main stage. You’ll get a taste of Rock, Blues, Funk, Folk and more.”

I know this one is a bit mean but it made me laugh and since I’m also weak with a poor taste in clothing I had to go with this one from BungieBoy:

“Wanted in theft of tiny, tiny table: Hump-backed girl and her inexplicably weak boyfriend. Both suspects reported to have poor taste in clothing.”

You can see all the entries here.

“MPD’s decision to shift funding from crime prevention to their performance team is finally beginning to pay off.”

And the bonus contest winner goes to Ragged Dog:

“DC Construction code Chapter 6, Part 5, Sub-chapter 7 clearly states whereas female mannequins may be fixed within window openings, they are restricted to non-permanent attachments, but may be supported by one or two birds of the same species native to florida, colored in historic fashion.”

Please email me directly so I can get you t-shirts.

A friend sent in this wild photo. It’s a bit far away but I think you can see two cops on a motorcycle lifting one above their heads. If this doesn’t make a good caption contest I don’t know what will…

Your captions in the comments and winner (free PoP t-shirt) picked Friday.

New Contest: Parody The Prince of Persia Trailer

By Prince Of Petworth

Well during snowsanity I was reminded that there are some seriously creative readers out there. So when I saw the above trailer I thought this would be a perfect opportunity for you to use your talents to make fun of PoP.

So I challenge you guys to make a parody Prince of Petworth Trailer. The winner can take their pick for a prize. You can choose either a dinner with me at the restaurant of your choice (up to $100) or you can put me to work on your house. You can chose 2 hours of my labor for things like yard work or cleaning. Hopefully there will be enough entries where I can pick 3 finalists and you guys will pick the winner. All entries must be submitted to me (princeofpetworth(at)gmail(dot)com) by June 7th.

Good luck.
