If you refused to shell out airfare and the mildly outrageous $269 weekend pass this year, you’re in luck: according to its website, Coachella is going to be set over two weekends in 2012, April 13-15 and April 20-22.

Granted, very few women enjoy walking up six flights of stairs, or enjoy feeling the subway rumble through every 10 minutes, and most prefer not to see mice on their way to the closet-sized bathroom (uh, not speaking from experience or anything).

The weather yesterday was perfect… for eating brains ! As the Memorial Day Eve sun drifted down over Williamsburg the undead took to the streets to groan unintelligibly, laugh maniacally, enjoy zombie-themed drink specials, play reindeer zombie games in McCarren Park, shoot a scene for Punk Rock Holocaust 3 and scare the bejesus out of passersby. All-in-all a nice way to spend a Sunday evening! [ more › ]

Yesterday’s achingly beautiful weather was the perfect backdrop for cycling enthusiasts of all persuasions to gather in Williamsburg from noon to 6 p.m. to celebrate their strange, wonderful dedication to the bicycle.

Take a look at the gallery to see what you missed. [ more › ]
