Astorian Weekend Edition - February 10
By Meg of Joey in Astoria

It's supposed to be snowy this weekend. Welcome back, winter! Perfect weather for hanging out at your favorite cozy spot. Or stay home and watch a movie, perhaps Derek Zoolander impersonating John Wilkes Booth. Sunday is Abraham Lincoln's real birthday, and a fine time to read his Emancipation Proclamation speech.

Podcasts are all the rage! While you're cozying up at home, download Astoria's one and only podcast, This Show Again. Comedian Thomas J. Kelly interviews self-proclaimed ambulance chaser Phil DiPippo of law firm Latos, Latos and DiPippo (episode 35, around the 14 minute mark).

For something completely different, pair music and food twice this weekend. On Friday from 8 - 10 p.m. check out Dois Caipirinhas playing live bossa nova and MPB at Girassol Churrascaria Steak House (33-18 28th Ave). And Mezzo Mezzo (31-29 Ditmars ) is having live Middle Eastern music and belly dancing on Saturday night!
