Booze: Win $25K Playing Beer Pong

3pm this Saturday at Porky's: 55 W. 21st St, near 6th; 212.675.8007

Two Andy Jacksons gets you and a partner entree to the World Beer Pong Tour's NYC qualifier, where you'll booze against 63 regional duos for a three night trip to AC, all to compete against 458 national teams for $25K. Tourney beer's provided by the bar, runner ups get bar gift certificates ($25-$100), and play's open to all-comers, with gals-only teams getting 50% off -- presumably to compensate for all the ball jokes they'll have to endure.

Photos: Look At This F*cking Hipster

This NY-centric blog presents shots of hipsters looking hilariously like themselves, from a skinny-panted dude in a leopard print fur coat ("It’s actually really hard to be a pimp when all your bitches have trust funds"), to some bearded dude riding a coin-op Harley, captioned by "Coin-operated rides were never this much fun when I was a kid. Of course, as a kid, I didn’t know what buttplugs were" -- so really, aren't we all hipsters?

Cheap Booze: GoBYO

From the guy who founded QVC, GoBYO's an "exceptionally current" breakdown of NY/NJ/CT restaurants that allow patrons to haul in their own vino. Enter zip/address, preferred cuisine and amenities (40 options, from free wi-fi to heart-healthy menu items), and search radius (from an in-hood .5 miles to a Trail of Tears-like 30 miles) and GoBYO'll return a slew of spots, along with applicable corkage fees and a unique wine-friendliness rating -- referring to establishments' practices, not how many glasses it takes you to compliment a stranger on his "style".

Tees: New Rome

From a NY-based artist recently decamped to Barcelona, these super soft graphic tees comment on everything from money & corruption (stenciled hands holding a heart and dollar bills; Johnny Cash's silhouette comprised of dollar signs), to baseball & religion (Indians' logo = "Infidels"; Brooklyn Dodgers' script reading "Messiah" w/ Star of David), to graffiti & Kenny Loggins (shining block letters of bomber Iz the Wiz's catchphrase, "This is it!").
