Free Friday Five

Nothing's cheaper than free.
This weekend we bring you...

1. Power of the Peep, Sunday 7/29, 3PM-5PM
at the Anthology Film Archives (32 2nd Avenue)
You've torn their heads off, you've tried to microwave them, and every spring you buy them in boxloads to poke at during parties. But Peeps don't grow on trees, and this film aims to explain what these peculiar marshmallowy treats truly are. Watch now, and impress your friends with all your useless Peep knowledge come Easter. RSVP to get in free.

2. Bellies & Brass Beach Party at the Floating Pool Lady, Sunday, 7/29, 4PM-9PM
on the East River off the Brooklyn Promenade
Everyone's talking about the crazy [floating] pool in Brooklyn Heights. Why not check it out this Sunday? Hit the city's newest beach for free music, volleyball and swimming.

3. TV on the Radio, Sunday 7/29, 3:30PM
at McCarren Pool Park in Williamsburg
If you haven't already been to one of the McCarren Park Pool Parties, and you're more into live music than a DJ, then it's time to hop on the L train and get yourself to Williamsburg. Go this Sunday for your fill of free music from the very popular TV on the Radio.

4. Wine Sampling at Union Square Wines & Spirits, ongoing
at 140 4th Avenue (14th Street)
One way to beat the heat this weekend is to stay indoors. Take it one step further: Stay indoors and drink. For free.
Just pick up a "point" card at Union Square Wines & Spirits, then spend the afternoon using said card on said shop's very cool tasting machines. There's even a lounge-like area complete with a TV.

5. The Actor's Rap, Sunday 7/29, 8PM
in Herbert Von King Park (Tomkins Avenue, between Lafayette & Green Avenues in Brooklyn)
Calling all hip hop fans...
This comedy, written by J. Kyle Manzay, is a "beat-filled farce" about a group of actors who kidnap a famous rapper-turned-actor so he won't steal their roles (think of all the talented guys who lost their chances on Broadway when P. Diddy decided to take the stage). Laughs guaranteed.
