Dear PoPville

“Dear PoPville,

I was with my dog at a very overgrown P Street Beach in Dupont on Thursday afternoon when I spotted something blue and shiny in the jungle-like grass. At first I thought it was a ball that I could rehome for my dog (not that he needs more toys), but upon picking up the egg-shaped object, I realized it was, in fact, an egg.

I opened the egg to find the following voucher, redeemable for $1. As you might imagine, this was incredibly exciting. President Trump is bound and determined to tank the global economy, but here some kind soul is giving out free dollar bills in eggs. There was just one problem: I have no way to redeem this voucher.

Looking on the back of the voucher only further confused me, as there seemed to be some sort of secret code that I presumably am supposed to use to find the hider of the egg and retrieve my $1. The only trouble is, I never took a code decoding class in school and haven’t seen National Treasure in years, so I’m at a bit of a loss. (more…)

Event

The Fuss is a dynamic ska and rocksteady band from Washington, D.C. Their sound pays tribute to the music of 1960’s Jamaica and the British Mod scene, while putting modern slant on the timeless styles. The group showcases 3-part female harmonies and a 3-piece horn section. The Fuss’s lively vibe gets a crowd going, yet brings a smooth and steady groove.

For the first time, they’ll play brand new songs from their upcoming album, Together (October, 2026) on Jump Up Records.
