Astorian Weekend Edition - August 5
by Joey In Astoria

All your buddies chillin' in the Hampty-Hamps? Sucks to be them. They don't get $1 PBR on their beach. Or hot doggers, for that matter. But we do. Check out the Water Taxi Beach this Saturday in LIC. That's a good place to wave to the LIC Boathouse paddlers. To get waved to mid-paddle by the PBR crowd, hook up with Erik Baard 'n' Co. at the Anable Public Pier (end of 44th Drive), 8:30 a.m. on Saturday. Free paddles -- all ages -- fun times.

Sunday, enjoy fresh fruit from your tasty box of of goodies from the Ravenswood CSA. Then head to Rainey Park and start a pickup Wiffle ball game. Dude, after you kick some Wiffle-ass, unwind with a nice cool drink.

Finish out the weekend by helping plan how to get our shoreline cleaned up. Or be wicked lame and let it stay nasty.
