For our October issue, I wrote an essay about my embarrassing addiction to Pokémon GO. It’s a great essay. My mom, who is a subscriber, told me it was “hysterical.” If you’re not a subscriber, you’ll have to take her word for it (and mine) till the story goes online (whenever that is). Anyway, one of the people I talked to for the story was a guy named David Schreiner. Schreiner works at the Arboretum as a digital content manager. He’s a Pokémon guy. Which is one of the reasons the Arboretum tonight, for the first time ever, is letting people come in to catch Pokémon after hours. There will be food trucks. There will be Magikarp. More details here.
