Summer Party Destinations: Sunset Beach

Thursday, June 12, 2008

Ah, the Hamptons (sigh). Home of the $13 bagel and $150 cab rides. If that’s not enough for you, hop into your convertible and take a cruise over to the only place perhaps hipper than South Hampton itself, Shelter Island’s Sunset Beach. Here social hour starts at around 4pm, getting rowdier and rowdier through sunset. [...]

Tonight the Starfish Greathearts foundation is hosting their annual fundraiser at 1Oak. The organization raises money for children who have been orphaned by HIV or AIDS in southern Africa, and I suggest anyone who is able should attend. Because let’s think about this logically, you can write a check to the charity of your choice [...]

Disco naps are fickle indulgence. Sometimes you wake up replenished, reenergized, smiling, ready to strap on your heels and sing Bob Sinclair. Other times you wake up in an angry daze: “who am I?” “where am I” “why the Hell am I awake?” This second wake up process is torturous a great catalyst for depression. [...]

A Punta Rave

Around night seven, it was time to hit up our first rave. Note: The last rave I went to was three years ago in a warehouse in Milan. People were passed out asleep on the limited furniture available, while the hardcore partiers jumped up and down around slumped bodies at 11 A.M. Exiting that warehouse into [...]

Punta Day 4: Endurance Test

Previous Post Punta Day 3 Ever since the weather turned beach appropriate, my house slipped into a routine of heading to Jose Ignacio beach mere moments after waking up. My eyes would flutter open to Cavalli’s crazy, pop, created-by-a-12-year-old girl iPod playlist blasting from across the hall and I’d know I had approximately six minutes to [...]

Punta Day 3

Rain. Monsoon rain. But not to worry. A couple clouds can never really put a damper on a day in Uruguay. The skies cleared around 2 P.M. so we drove out to La Juella for lunch on the beach,lounged around and got very drunk on Clerico, essentially white summer sangria. It’s so delicious (and addictive) that [...]

Previous Post: Punta Day 1 Remember in childhood P.E. classes the dreaded running game known as a “relay race?” You’d pass off a baton, ball, stick, or rock (pending on the funding of your elementary school’s P.E. program) panting like a maniac trying to beat the opposing team. The process described above is similar to how we [...]

Previous Post, Punta Blasting Out I arrived at Montevideo airport (for those of you that don’t know, Montevideo is the sketchy Uruguayan city one usually flies into to then drive two hours to Punta del Este) feeling refreshed (I was that passed out drooling person with a blanket over my head on the plane) and shocked [...]

Self Reflection! Live! From Buenos Aires Airport

I don’t think my hands have ever been so thirsty for a keyboard. Part of this trip was the experiment of leaving all electronic devices behind. No laptop, no iPhone, no iPod. Basically me giving Steve Jobs a huge ´up yours´ finger in the face. I don’t know how any of us in 2008 manage [...]

Blasting Out

So we made it through Christmas only slightly scathed, and I realize I’ve also been trashing New York New Years right and left. I guess the question on everyone’s mind is ‘Well Model Behavior, since you’ve trash talked every end of the year activity known to man, what are you doing for New Years?” Answer: I [...]
