Eddie

“I am submitting my roommate Eddie. He is also my landlord and friend. Eddie is the coolest roommate ever for many reasons, he cuts us all breaks on rent, cooks the most delicious dinners for us (which are always ready when we get home from work), he cleans the house and makes our beds for us when we are away. Also he is great to hang out with and talk to and might be one of my favorite people to play Wii with. Eddie may not be The Perfect roommate but he’s pretty damn close!”

Ed. note: Yesterday’s comments were interesting but remember it’s not a “pimp your roomate” contest, simply who has an interesting/cool roomate. The entries are starting to roll in now. Aren’t there any cool female roomates out there? Represent.


Alright, I’m not sure how well this next contest is going to work but it could be fun so I’ll see what the response will be. This idea came from a reader: “Coolest (most interesting) Roomate/Housemate in PoPville”. Could be fun. So if you’d like to enter take a photo of your roomate and add a few lines of text explaining why you are nominating them. Send me an email at [email protected] and I’ll see if there are enough entries at the end of the week to make it a proper contest.

And here’s another cool contest coming in early October – a PoP Scavenger hunt. This is also the brainchild of a reader who is in the process of devising the hunt which will cover all of PoPville but mainly focusing on Petworth, North Country, Columbia Heights, Mt. Pleasant, Adams Morgan and U Street/Logan Circle/Shaw. It sounds like it is going to be pretty awesome, more details on that to come.

Finally, there is a new forum section called group meet ups. There is already interest in a tennis meetup. So if you’re looking for some tennis check out the forum.


The winner comes from “phishnovi”.

“Promise not to get mad…Okay?! What had happened was…”

Runner up is from “Biddy”:

“Local giant plays “horseshoes” on sidewalk.”

Email me directly so I can get you t-shirts.


You know the rules – add your caption in the comments section and the best one wins a t-shirt or free beer. (Odentex shoot me an email when you’d like to claim your beer from last weeks victory). This week’s winner announced Friday.

For the curious I have another angle plus a photo a reader sent in when the bumper was in the middle of the Columbia Heights plaza. (more…)
