The Deal: Flask it? Cheap Booze?
The Place: 171 Lombardy
The Price: $7
The Details: Warehouse party in Greenpoint, or so it says - I'm pretty sure this is actually Williamsburg. They will have booze and I bet it's pretty cheap. You might want to pack Roger Winston just in case. I call my flask Roger Winston, that name has no significance whatsoever so don't over think it.

The Deal: Flask it
The Place: Xpo 929
The Price: $8-$10
The Details: Killer show with Unstoppable Death Machines, EULA, Filthy Savage and more. I have no clue what the booze deal is with this joint. Something tells me it's dry but you'll figure something out, right? If it's not dry then assume that drinks are cheap.

The Deal: Free Brooklyn Lager
The Place: Genuine Motorworks
The Price: FREE, must RSVP
The Details: Based on the name I'm guessing this band does some sort of goofy ass bluegrass / rap shit. I don't know, I hope to Christ I'm wrong. Either way there's free booze. You might get your faggy hipster ass chain whipped by a bunch of burly bikers though, have fun.

The Deal: 2-4-1 vodka 10-12; Vodka Open Bar 1am & 2:30am
The Place: Bar 13

The Details: I could be wrong but I think this is a gay party. For those of you new to NYC, the gays know how to party so this should be fun. Either way the booze deals will pretty much keep you shitfaced until sun up.

The Deal: Free Brooklyn Lager, maybe.
The Place: Syndicate Gallery
The Price: FREE
The Details: This is some art gallery / fundraiser. They say they have Brooklyn brews and food from Mesa Coyoacan, which is cool. Normally gallery openings mean free booze but since it's also a fundraiser they might be charging, although I assume it would be cheap. Who knows? Proceed with caution.

The Deal: Free Booze, I think.
The Place: Mishka Store
