Astorian Weekend Edition - November 4
by Joey In Astoria

The freaks running the New York Marathon will whiz by Long Island City Sunday morning. You can catch them at your favorite Vernon Blvd haunt and you should. It's your duty as a non-marathoning New Yorker. Give a righteous last hurrah to the soon-to-be defunct Ten63 (1063 Jackson Ave), or check out John's picks. And make sure to cheer on Astoria poet Stephen Cramer. He'll be #2557.

That night celebrate the fact that you didn't run the marathon with your last chance to:

1. See Josh Irving's Jazz Quintet,
2. See Rudy "Brownbird" Relic, and
3. Help the hurricane survivors,
   all on the same night!

Astorians for Hurricane Relief is hosting its final event. Read all about it, and just know that Mezzo Mezzo is providing free food. That is *not* a misprint. Plus, all your buddies and pals from Astoria will be there.
