The Weekender

Heat wave alert! I can’t believe it’s going to be that hot in June of all months. I’m not quite ready for it. I’m still enjoying spring! Honestly, I don’t do too well in that kind of heat. I may not wind up rambling around the hood with my camera like I intended. I may just have to amuse myself some other way.

On Repeat:
Friday night comedy at Mezzo Comedy Club
Yoga & Capoeria-Saturdays at Socrates
Pilates & Tai Chi-Sundays at Socrates
Sunday canoeing and kayaking in Hallets Cove

Saturday at 12 Socrates has another great little art making workshop. This week- Waterfront City with Free Style Arts Association. Using an array of recycled and reusable materials, kids, big and small, are guided in creating and decorating a life-size architectural form that will slowly become a city with rooms, walkways and porches.

Starting this Saturday at noon, the Beer Garden will be broadcasting Eurocup soccer games for the season.

Tonight at 8pm Waltz lines up two singer/songwriters for their 8pm showcase-$10 cover.

Or try something a little different that night. The gals from Seeds of Love are at it again. This time they are participating in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life at Astoria Park, at the track. Cancer survivors, caregivers, family members, corporate sponsors, neighbors, individuals and relay teams will join together in a celebration of survivorship and hope at the 3rd annual Relay For Life at Astoria Park.
They’ve got tons of great raffles to raise money for this awesome cause as well as a DJ, games food and of course, the fun times. Here’s the schedule-Registration begins at 5 p.m. Survivor’s Lap/Opening Ceremony at 6:15 p.m. Luminaria Candle Lighting Ceremony at 9:00 p.m.

Sunday is another (#10) Magic of Astoria Arts & Crafts Market from 11-6 pm at the Queensview Houses (Building #7 on 33rd RoadBuilding #14 on 34th AvenueBetween 21st Street and Crescent Street). Original Paintings, watercolor & oil, jewelry, photos, soaps, crochet, children’s clothing. Unique hand crafted items of all kinds

And, to round it off, a night of pints and useless knowledge at the Irish Rover-7pm.

Make it a great one!
