It’s time to emerge from hibernation and party like the hippie you are. If you’re in Astoria this weekend, I think this block party might be worth checking out on Saturday. The deets:
May 19, 2012! 12:00-3:00pm (rain or shine!)
In front of Build It Green!NYC’s Astoria Reuse Center (26th Avenue between 3rd and 4th Streets, Astoria)
Here’s some dreamy summer music to get you in the mood:
Highlights:
