“Dear PoPville,

I was at the Pigeons Playing Ping Pong show last Friday (10/29) at the Anthem dancing my face off, in my element, throwing my hair around, jumping, singing, and just generally grooving to the funk. There happened to be an objectively attractive concertgoer near me in “the flock” (i.e., the Pigeons fanbase) exuding extreme confidence in a colorful cowboy hat, pink sunglasses, and assless chaps (it was Halloween after all). To my surprise, she approached me after the show to compliment my curly, untamed hair and ask my hair product of choice. Caught entirely off guard, I returned the compliment remarking on her sunglasses and we chatted for a bit – her name was Emily. With her friends and mine departing, we split ways and still a bit bewildered, I forgot to exchange numbers in what was clearly a moment. Find me Emily!

Sincerely,
Pigeon seeking a ping pong partner”

“Dear PoPville,

Wednesday, late afternoon, he (in a beige colored beanie and black jacket?) was crossing (but more like J walking…) the street in front of Le Diplomate with a friend. I, pulling up to the red light in my car, late for my yoga class and flustered wearing a red zip up, looked up and caught his gaze as he tried to determine if I was going to stop and let them cross or not.

“Dear PoPville,

I was giving out candy on the front stoop of my giant apartment building in Mt. Pleasant on Sunday night, and a very good looking guy walked by and commented on how nice it was that I was sitting out there for trick or treaters. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

Running by the Capitol on Saturday. Me wearing a Black Lives Matter shirt and black leggings. You, a tall handsome gentlemen out for a run. You commented on my shirt and the beautiful weather. We should have run together. Maybe next time?”

“Dear PoPville,

Feeling like a total bozo reaching out with a missed connection but hell after 12 years in DC here we are 🤷‍♀️. I was walking my dog on the trail near Peirce Mill yesterday (Wednesday) around 4pm when a guy stopped straight in the middle of his run to ask if my pup was a TWC (Treeing Walker hound — yes, he is!). We chatted for a few about his brother’s dog and then he seemed to realize he had been in the middle of something (you know, running shirtless and gorgeous through Rock Creek). Don’t wanna be a weirdo if he was just being nice (which is lovely!) but thought I’d put the vibe out just in case.”

“Dear PoPville,

You were at a costume wedding reception (so many unread emails). we chatted and danced, you were leaving, I froze (that may be my costume this year) not my best look. perhaps you would give me the opportunity to undo?”

I hobbled to the Capitals v. Calgary game on Saturday October 23rd with my buddy from out of town. We sat down in Section 202, Row C; I noticed you sitting in the row in front of us. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

We were in front of you in the line to see Lucy Dacus when you complimented my bff’s oppossum purse. Tell me the band she recommended to you and help me get her a better birthday gift than a trip to ARTECHOUSE–your number!!”
