Dude, apparently this weekend is Long Island City Alliance Culture Festival which would explain why there's a zillion arts events there this weekend. So, why not mosey on down there and check it out?
Get the schedule. Granted, most of these events don't actually take place this weekend (maybe the people who wrote the schedule have been locked in a room for 30 days), but some do, and lots are worth checking out.
