Dear PoPville,
I’m writing to inform you that a friend and I were attacked last night, Sunday, January 13, 2013 at approximately 5:50 p.m. by a young adult male on a bike. We were walking to Beau Thai. As soon as we crossed third street on to Q, we heard the young male and his friends who were all hanging out at the church nearby yelling “fags.” We ignored them and kept walking on the sidewalk down Q st. Then, one of the kids – a young black male (mini afro, mid-dark brown complexion, a tight smooth face, and a black jacket) – rode his bike passed us and repeated “fags” again.
Then, he put his bike on the sidewalk and turned it around so he was facing us. He rode his bike at full speed into us. Then, he got off his bike, and hit my friend from behind. I tried to deescalate things by saying everything is ok, and we should all stay calm. The young male then walked towards me and hit me in the left jaw. His friends, a block away at the church, yelled at him to return to them. Then all left in a hurry. The police were called on, and came quickly to respond and take our statements. The Gay and Lesbian Liason Unit also arrived on the scene, and we are working to catch the young man.

From an email:
The Ulysses Room Night Market will bring together our favorite local designers and boutiques for a night shopping event (inspired by the popular Brooklyn Night Bazaar). We also invited Cream Cycle – whose hand-made gourmet ice-cream sandwiches will be available for the first time to the public and will include: Mexican Jalapeño Chocolate (chocolate cookie, jalapeno ice cream, fresh banana), Cereal Milk (cereal milk ice cream, vanilla cookie, granola), and Ginger Spice (ginger bread cookie, vanilla ice cream, fresh nutmeg and ginger)
This event will bring together some of our favorite independent designers, shops, and food purveyors in DC for a festive evening of shopping, food, and merriment under the ivy-ringed skylight of Ulysses Room.
Full list of vendors after the jump. (more…)
