Default Car won't start. Tips?

Well I was planning on heading to Calgary tonight, but it seems like I'm stuck in Lethbridge.

I rarely drive my car, it has probably been about a week since it was last driven.
It's parked outside, as I live in a apartment building, and inside is not an option. I also do not have a block heater.

When I try to start it, it sounds like it is about to start, but just won't get over that final hump.
I heard that if I turn my lights on for a few minutes before starting it helps, so i tried that with no luck... (supposedly it warms the battery)

Any other tips or options I can try?

Edit: I should mention the car is getting older, it's a '96 audi a4.
The battery I thought was pretty good, it always would start the few times i've needed it to in the cold.
