“Dear PoPville,
Not sure if this is a common experience but my management company sent me a bill for $1. I moved out last month. Mostly pissed, slightly amused at the pettiness. Is this something anyone else has encountered?”
It was an electrifying start to ArtRave’s 19th season, with a record-breaking attendance of 11,000 people! A huge thanks goes out to our supporters who came out in droves. We also extend our gratitude to the incredibly talented artisans across various artistic disciplines. Finally, a special shout-out to our dedicated staff for curating such a remarkable event and paying attention to every detail that makes ArtRave a unique venue. From fine arts and sculptures to high fashion, wood carving, table making, metalwork, live plants including Bonsai trees, book authorship, gourmet cuisine, and delicious baked goods, there was something for everyone to enjoy!
Join us for our next show on Saturday, April 25th, from 11 AM to 5 PM, featuring music in the park at our Dupont Circle venue located at 1913 Massachusetts Ave NW, at the corner of Connecticut Ave, just steps away from the Dupont Q Street Metro.
“Dear PoPville,

I was leaving my office and he approached me at the intersection of 10th and G NW. He asked me where Tatte was, because I “look like the kind of person with the swagger to go there.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
In Brookland this has been our view for the past week now, it’s getting absurd. Car owner leaves for hours on end with this spot saver in place. And spot saver has only grown over time, more items have been added over time. Started off with just one red block.”

“Dear PoPville,
The parking wars have gotten out of hand! Last night I saw a woman essentially reburying a car in the snow (in Bloomingdale.) And this wasn’t just simply kicking some snow under the tires then driving away. She used a shovel. And when she was done with the shovel, she started moving large blocks of ice with her hands and wedging them under the car. I don’t need to tell anyone here how disgusting the snow and ice is these days to be picking up with your hands. And this was no quick act. This went on for almost half an hour! All the while her car sitting in the street with its hazard lights on. (more…)
