*UPDATE. Ok, so this was a stupid post. All outdoor events have been canceled.

Some of these events are outdoors, so please check to make sure they haven’t been canceled before venturing out. Even if it’s not dangerous, it may prove to be pretty unpleasant this weekend. Then again, less crowds to compete with.

Check with MTA before getting on the subway. If all hell breaks loose, subways will be shut down. If asked to evacuate and you don’t have a car…well, looks like you’re screwed. Enjoy!

The Afro-Punk Festival was supposed to be this Saturday and Sunday at Commodore Barry Park near the Brooklyn Navy Yard. A couple of bands this old lady has heard of…Fishbone and Janelle Monae, were to play on the 28th. Alas, the show is canceled according to Brooklyn Vegan.
