Spring's
not going out without a fight, but there's still plenty of trouble
to find this weekend rain or shine. We're doing a little bit of
spring cleaning at WLA headquarters this weekend and need to unload
some Perks cards. Take advantage, this weekend only, we'll take
50% off the first 50 Perks cards ordered using the promo code SPRING50
in the WLA
Store.
There's a gameshow taping in Astoria next week. Pyramid,
the Dick Clark classic has invited WLA to join the studio audience.
Grab
your seat now as the tapings are nearly full. Also, we have
one more Exit 44 Festival ticket to give away if you correctly
answer the trivia question in the editorial below.

Hey,
yo! I'm Ridin' Here!
Tonight, Transportation Alternatives will be hosting their
monthly "Bike-Pool" (a herd of bikers riding at an extremely
slow pace in protest of not having a bike lane on The Boulevard
of Death, Queens Blvd). If you're a rider, show up w/ your
wheels and helmet and they'll outfit you with a bright orange "Share
the Road" vest. Afterwards, celebrate not dying with an afterparty
at Five Guys of Glendale.
Free
Food & Wine
Off the Vine has teamed up with Les Minots Bistro
to offer a free wine tasting paired with delicious h'or dourves.
Tonight, they'll be focusing on wines of Portugal.
Potencia!
If grabbing a flashy, new Facebook username isn't high on your priority
list, check out the return of the Brazilian loft dance party, Potencia!,
and shake it til it can't shake no mo. You've heard about these
power parties before, and probably have even still heard them booming
on your way to work, so stop by, check it out and have a night to
remember. $8 cover, but free vodka from 11-12a.
Show your Perks
card and get in for free before midnight ($5 after).

The
Easiest Charity Event EVER
After Saturday brunch, enjoy the return of our friend, the sun,
by taking a very important walk through Astoria Park. The Hanson
brothers (yes) have started a charity that will give a dollar for
every person who shows up to walk a mile at these events. The money
will then be used to fight the growing HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa.
Specifically, in Astoria, our WLA attendees' proceeds will be put
toward building new schools in Africa. It's going to be a beautiful
day, so please, please stop by and walk off that omelette.
Major
Rock Bands Play Astoria
If you've run into team WLA lately, you've probably heard us raving
about the Exit 44 Festival that's happening this weekend
in Astoria. It features eight bands from all over NYC and several
local food vendors. After making a huge splash at SXSW this year,
Tigercity and Project Jenny, Project Jan are taking
over Astoria. Tickets are only $10 in advance and will sell out.
WLA will have a booth with discounted Astoria tshirts, so stop by
to say hello.

Yummy,
Yummy BBQ Deliciousness
Get this shiz, Sunday morning, we need you to leave Astoria. Crazy
right? It's time for the Big Apple BBQ--our own religious holiday.
Go early, beat the lines. Get more info and some tips from the pros
on the WLA Blog. Unrelated to BBQ, the first to reply via email
the correct time and location of the Exit 44 Festival wins
a free ticket.
Suzy
Sunday
On your way home, stop by Winegasm for some red grapes
to wash down the BBQ. The Astoria Music Project will be featuring
WLA's Suzy Sellout this week as she unveils some of her latest tracks
as well as some smooth jazz standards we all love. Her sounds are
reminscent of both Tori Amos and Feist fighting over the ivories
of a shiny, new baby grand. There IS no better way to wrap up a
memorable weekend. Show your Perks
and get your second drink free.
