5 Boro Pizza Challenge, in all five boroughs.
ok, ok. i admittedly get super annoyed with the desire of this city to fuse together so many events into one to make them more appealing or instagram-worthy or whatever. stefon knows what i’m talking about. but, this sounds kinda fun. it’s a multi-borough relay race for pizza. be the first to eat a slice in all 5 boroughs without using a car and you win… i don’t know what you win, but it will sure as fuck be my respect. and a full belly. and i’ll tell you what, i’ll buy you a beer. this is a fundraiser for Transportation Alternatives, so all us bikers (and pedestrians, and straphangers) can feel good about indulging. info here. go get ’em.
Sex Expo at the Expo Center in Greenpoint.
go expose yourself at the expocenter in greenpoint. or, at least your sex life. the sexpo descends upon that rather unfortunate eye sore of a building to seduce, intrigue, and enhance your sex life. demonstrations, discussions, and advice from some of the leading thinkers, inventors, and fuckers in the biz. yeah. in other words if you wake up saturday morning depressed to know that he wasn’t as good as you’d hoped, grab a quick brunch at le gamin and then “accidentally” stumble upon the sexpo then go home and make things better. all info here. 72 noble st.
