In the greatest news since, well, forever-DCist reported that BYT’s super-all-time-favorite-sitcom-4ever-and-ever PARKS & RECREATION will be shooting part of the premiere of its upcoming fifth season on location in Washington. (NOW WITH AN UPDATE-the actual filming location list!)

Now, we are not of the super celebrity stalking variety but this kind of thing provokes in us the deepest, darkest mega- fan urges. So-we’ve let our minds wander and we’ve come up with some dream scenario run-ins with the show’s character’s while they’re in town. Hey, fantasies are free.

RON SWANSON @ The Pig

• doing what:  eating the whole menu (minus those vegan bullshit options)
• your opening line: sending over a complimentary The Eight Weeks ‘Til the Slaughter (a variant on a Manhattan, using a blend of Bulleit rye, house-infused Makers Mark bourbon, bitters, and Vya vermouth, aged in barrels for eight weeks)
• best case outcome: you get to lick some sauce off his mustache.

APRIL LUDGATE @ Black Cat Red Room

• doing what: reading a book, avoiding eye contact
• your opening line: Is there Neutral Milk Hotel (April’s favorite band-ed) on this juke-box?
• best case outcome:  She doesn’t spit in your drink

LESLIE KNOPE @  Smithsonian Museum Of American History

• doing what:  checking out the Girl Scouts exhibit and refusing to go to the First Lady dress show.
• your opening line: What badge do you think the Girl Scouts need to start having that reflects the modern young lady of 2012?
• best case outcome: You end up getting the Dirty Girl Scout alcoholic milkshake together @ Ted’s Bulletin after a walking tour of Capitol Hill.

BEN WYATT  @ The Thirst at Bier Baron

• doing what:  Correcting the speaker. But only to himself. So as not to really offend anyone.
• your opening line:  you should really do one of these (nights/speeches).
• best case outcome: Ben Wyatt moves here and becomes YOUR boyfriend.

JERRY @ Georgetown Cupcake

• doing what: waiting in line (and horrible heat) to get cupcakes for everyone, and then JUST as it is his turn-the store closes.
• your opening line: Repeat after me: I’m better than this.
• best case outcome: you introduce him to Baked & Wired.

ANDY DWYER @ Jimmy Valentine’s

• doing what: complaining that the $1 PBR happy hour is not all night.
• your opening line: you have to try Mr. Lethal instead (their super potent, mind erasing slushie)
• best case outcome: he gives you a piggy back ride to H Street

TOM HAVERFORD @ Napoleon

• doing what: pretending to be a European Diplomatic Brat. Not fooling anyone.
• your opening line: You smell nice – there’s a dance party downstairs afterwards. With Champagne.
• best case outcome: He gives you a nickname that rhymes with Champagne.

DONNA @ Bliss Spa at the W

• doing what: treating herself
• your opening line: Nice custom robe, where do you get your embroidering done?
• best case outcome:  Donna and you start a Ginuwine inspired dance party (Ginuwine is her cousin on the show-ed): Name: PONY UP. Tag line: Ladies happy hour ALL NIGHT. Gentlemen pay double ALL NIGHT. Pony up.

ANN PERKINS @ anywhere Jon Favreau is NOT DRINKING that day

• doing what: avoiding Jon Favreau (the Obama speech scribe and Rashida Jones dated in real life-ED)

• best case outcome: Ann Perkins becomes your (ultimate) wingwoman

Chris Traeger @ Crossfit

• doing what: suffering. till it feels good.
• your opening line: I know this great fruit smoothie place.
• best case outcome: you end sneaking him (a totally alcoholic) CLIMATE CHANGE (fresh grapefruit and cranberries make the potential vodka taste an almost non issue) @ Johnny’s Half Shell, Chris Traeger becomes fun.

EXTRA DREAM BONUS:

JEAN-RALPHIO @ FUR (GLOW nights)
