Micah Jesse

Micah Jesse, enough is enough!  Young man, we suggest you dry yourself off so that you don't drench that poor girl next to you.  Someone has to go put out the flames on this guy.  So I guess Stereo by the Shore is really that much fun?!

Has anyone seen the new VH1 presentation of the Fabulous Life Presents: the Hamptons?

We are pretty sure it's quite the cheese-fest (just the voice of the narrator on that show is enough cheese for one month).  Anyway, we weren't out east this weekend, ours was spent in much greater cheesiness (yes it is possible), but here's what we missed:

The Mercedes Benz Polo Challenge at the JetOne Jets field in Bridgehampton:

And Dave Matthews at the Ross school as part of the Hamptons Social Concert series:

While we are obviously upset we missed out on showing off our new polo watching gear, we had quite the adventurous weekend (details to follow).  Thanks to Rob Rich for providing exclusive coverage out east this summer.

ny post cover

We usually don't pay much attention to the NY Post, or any newsPAPERs in general...we like the online versions, they don't give us inky fingers.  So we don't really get that much off the Post except maybe the occasional Page Six shout out.  Well today was different.  Today, some copywriter at the Post was really really creative and, even though you may have already seen this paper, as it is almost 11:00 pm and hence the day is almost over, we just wanted to get our official "Lohan's retarded" post out of the way.  There.  We are over it.  We will not do another post on her and her "problem" again. 

mark birbaum

Mark Birbaum was born on June 10th, 1977.  So was his best friend and business partner, Eugene Remm.  Because of the similarity in bdays, these two decided it would be cool to start a club together, hence TenJune was born.  Nowandays, Mr. Birbaum can be seen prancing around the "scene" with his posse of wanna-bees models, and sometimes the occasional celebritard such as Lalohan or Kayne.  He is helping to make Pink Elephant in southampton THE hot place to be this summer (as well as "the estate" house that he owns with Remm).  He is in constant competition with the "other players" aka Noah Tepperberg and Jason Strauss of Marquee and Dune.  Well there's not much else to say about the guy, as he really has added nothing else to humanity save tables stocked with over priced "models" and bottles,  and those drummer guys of course....however, we've got to hand it to him, the guy knows what to do to get the ladies around him, because let's face it, making silly faces with a club owner is soooo "sick", as these kids today would say....

What you've never been to Tar Beach?  It is a little strip of paradise on Elizabeth street in NYC.  Very exclusive, posh, and hard to get into.  If you are one of the lucky chosen few that are accepted to participate in the fun that goes on here on Sundays in the summer, prepare yourself for an experience of a lifetime.

This guy rocks.

kid rock

Here's a pic from our Inbox of Kid Rock taken at 3am with some random fan out in the Hamptons last weekend.  We wonder which venue they were at....we are putting our money on Pink Elephant, though Dune and Star are also valid guesses...Next less guess which substances they chose to intake throughout the night....

How much spam could a spammer spam if a spammer could spam you?  Dear Sir Spamalot, I did, but no longer need the following:

  1. Cialis Tabs
  2. Cialis Soft Tabs
  3. Rx Meds
  4. Cheap Rx Meds
  5. Cheap Rx Meds from a Canadian Pharmacy
  6. Viagra
  7. OEM Software
  8. AutoCad
  9. Windows Vista (I'm fine with Windows XP, Vista is a bloated piece of crap)

So thank you, but no thank you.  And please tell your friends, Dixie Dobson, Brice Tabo, Dirk Hogan, Eliza Jenkins, that I'm not interested.

prince concert

This Saturday we attended the Prince Concert at the Ross school in East Hampton. It's part of the "Hampton Social Concert Series"

So is seeing Prince REALLY worth the cost of the tickets (10k)!?

well, apparently some people (Kelly and Mark Consuelos Ripa, David Blaine, Lauren Dyan, Christy Brinkley's clan, Jay Z, Kid Rock, Leonardo Dicaprio, Angelica Houston, Bon Jovi to name a few) think so....

By the way how cool does Jack Brinkley look? The kid is in his prime awkward stage and yet he pulls off looking remarkably charming even behind a brace-face:

Serbians definitely know how to throw a kickin' party. In fact so much so that partying must be one of the countries best exports. Today marks the beginning of the four day EXIT Festival, the annual summer music festival in the Petrovaradin fortress in Serbia. Started in 2000 by two University students, it has grown to become an amazing event with top flight performers, which this year include Snoop Dogg, Beastie Boys, Basement Jaxx, Roger Sanchez, John Digweed, Groove Armada, and Lauren Hill to name a few.

EXIT Festival

Jones SodaAs the weather starts heat up and we head into the Dog Days of Summer, its always nice to cool off with a bottle of Jones Soda.  For those of you who aren't yet in "the know", Jones is a fast growing soda company that started out on a grassroots level in Seattle about a decade ago.  They are the only soda company that makes pop with pure cane sugar (instead of the less healthy High Fructose Corn Syrup found in Coke and Pepsi).  In addition, they have a large offering of 0 calorie flavors that actually don't taste like crap! 

 One of the neat touches they do is put pictures that customers send in on their bottles, and you can order your own sixpack with whatever picture you want.  In addition, they have a lots of cool limited addition flavors including some pretty wacky ones like Gravy...weird huh?  We highly recommend the FuFu Berry, our favorite flavor. 

Henley Royal Regatta

July 4th marks United States independence, but more importantly the beginning of one of the best parties in world, the Henley Royal Regatta in Henley on the Thames, England.  It is one of the three Royal events on the calendar (with Wimbeldon and Ascot), and medal presenters have included in the past the likes of Prince Albert of Monaco.  Anyone who has ever been to Henley can tell you what a great party it is, and the many pints of Pimms consumed on the river banks. 

Henley Royal Regatta

The main regatta enclosure enforces a strict dresscode that requires men to wear blazers and women cannot have a skirt that rises above the knee.  The enclosures are replete with sundresses, fanciful hats, and men squeezing into their schoolboy blazers that often have very unique color schemes and piping.  And if you don't believe us about the "above the knee" rule, regatta officials do in fact have a measuring stick that is often broken out to determine whether a person is in violation. 

The rowing is also pretty cool...if you're in England in July ever definitely take the hour train ride from London to see this five day spectacle.

gore.jpg

Albert Gore III, the son of Al Gore has been pulled over for speeding, and was arrested for having a bunch of Rx meds in his car (that he didn't have prescriptions for).  Gore has been in trouble a couple of times before for marijuana and the likes, and we hope he can solve his problems and settle down a bit.  A somewhat of a quiet fellow when he attended Harvard University, he generally kept to himself and was not a very visible student. 

No word on whether he will be serving jail time, etc. but he certainly seems to be following the general trend of younger people increasingly abusing Rx Meds, a lot more than Marijuana experts say.  People have been snorting Ritalin and Adderall for a long time, so I guess we can't say we are too suprised (and the prescription rate on these things has skyrocketed).  But question:  Who ever figured it was a good idea to snort these things, or that it would do anything?!  I guess kids a boarding schools have WAY too much time on their hands.

The Gore's seem to be tacking the issue head on, and we hope they can figure it out so Al can continue his Green efforts!
