Transportation Alternatives Membership Party: Queens!

A little bird told me there is going to be fabulous party at The Creek in LIC for Transportation Alternatives on Tuesday October 20.  Here are the details:

Join Transportation Alternatives for a night of fun at the Creek Bar across the street from the Pulaski Bridge.

Cost: $10 for T.A. members, $30 for non-members (join T.A. at the door and you get in for free!)

Admission gets you free food, $2 off all drinks, and 2 for 1 margaritas. Fun raffle with great prizes, including a limited edition messenger bag designed by David Byrne!

Also, Limited edition "I Bike Queens" t-shirts will be for sale, while supplies last.

Love the Creek!  I am sure there will be great company there, too.   You can RSVP on Facebook.  Location info:
