via guestofaguest.com: We know some of you have already kissed summer goodbye with NYC’s Fashion Week already sweeping you into fall, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take time to reminisce right? There’s nothing better than looking back at your memorable summer once the party-hopping and beach bumming is all said and done. Our very own Editor in Chief, Rachelle Hruska asked her friends to share their favorite summer memories and New Yorkers from the likes of Kipton Cronkite, Douglas Friedman, Malcolm Harris, Carol Han, Ben Lerer, Christina Civetta, Derek Koch, Devorah Rose, Keith Lissner, and the GofG team, of course, responded with tales from the Hamptons and beyond including sailboat rides, volcano climbing, “Couture Super Heroes”, wine in water bottles, celebrity sightings, Britney Spears concerts, booze buses, late night laser tag, sneaking on to yachts, and so, so much more. Apparently we aren’t the only ones with an unforgettably outrageous summer behind us…MORE>>>

Eavesdropping Is What Guests Do Best…
- Is Bernie Madoff’s former Montauk beach house one of the hottest pieces of Real Estate in town? Well, it received 23 visits from potential buyers over labor day weekend. So yes…It is. [NYT]
- Jon Bon Jovi has a thing for popping up out of nowhere armed with a guitar and a mic. He surprised the crowd at Stephen Talkhouse only after doing the same for diners at the Blue Parrot [CurbedHamptons]

[Desanne Gonsalves, Deondra Gonsalves, Andreas Vavaroutous, Roxanne Conso. All photos by Rob Rich] The Ferrari was the official car of the Hamptons this summer as it took over the roads Saturday afternoon for the First Annual Ferrari Hamptons Rally. Hamptonite Ferrari owners lunched at Georgica in East Hampton to mingle and talk shop before parading their Italian speedsters all over the East End. Guests included Richard Johnson, DJ Mel DeBarge, rally co-host and founder Nathaniel Christian, tons of Ferrari fans wanting a close look at the sexy sports cars, and Georgica’s very own David Schulman, Chef Robert Hesse, and Antonio Fuccio.

If You Enjoyed The Montauk Yacht Club This Summer, Wait Until You See What They Have Planned For Next Year
Did you get a chance to check out the beautiful grounds of the Montauk Yacht Club this summer either to party at an event on the Great Lawn or to escape the Hamptons fuss at one of their private water-front bungalows? The club revealed it’s newly multi-million dollar makeover just in time to celebrate the 80th anniversary in June and now they’re ready to spend more. Next, they plan to build an additional 48,000 square feet of luxury condos to go right along with their newly renovated property… More»

Hamptons Car Of The Day
The Jitney made our final pick for car of the day because there’s no denying it was the most popular vehicle in the Hamptons this summer rescuing many of you from the hot sticky city streets for an escape to the East End. It has been there for us all through good trips and bad (like that time you were stuck sitting next to the bathroom with a screaming toddler, behind a couple swapping spit, during rush hour traffic on the LIE for example)… More»

“Best 2k I Ever Spent!” Waiting In Line For The Last Drink Of Summer At Surf Lodge
[All photos by ROB RICH] We’ve all been there. Especially on a Saturday night and especially at Surf Lodge. But since the end of summer arrived last weekend along with the end of Surf Lodge’s season, getting to the bar by pushing your way through 6-foot surfer dudes and groups of dancing Montaukers was totally worth the “so packed I can’t move” crowd. The Montauk chill spot was a favorite for almost everyone heading East this summer (including GofGHamptons), so appreciating every bit of time there during Labor Day weekend was a must even if that meant starting your own bar-side party during your neverending wait for a drink like this group above. They wasted no time celebrating the end of summer…

How To End Your Summer With A Summer Share Pool Party
We managed to skip out on the summer share experience this summer having heard our fair share of great and not-so-great stories about the packed party dens full of people you know, some you don’t, and others you get to know a little too well. Needless to say, it looks like we were missing out. Here’s a look inside the Hamptons Holidays house in Bridgehampton which played host to a Labor Day pool party over the weekend. Share house tenants and guests splashed around all day with drinks in hand, a water limbo tournament in place, food on the grill, DJ on deck, and dozens of summer share party-goers gearing up for their last weekend of summer…Tear.

Packing Up Shop To New York City…
Remember your maiden voyage out to the Hamptons at the start of the summer? It was probably Memorial Day, you probably had too many people in your car, and the traffic was probably too much too handle. For us: Check, check and check, as you can see here by this pic of the GofG-mobile… More»

GofGHamptons Summer ‘09 Playlist: Download At Your Own Risk
[Picture via Blog Urban Outfitters] Just like the weather this summer, our song selection was pretty random. Hackneyed British girl singers, the Beatles, bands you never heard of, and ones you grew up with, and of course hepcats galore. But that’s what made it so perfect for summer. Because not every moment is right for Lady Gaga, and sometimes you just need to chill out with some Talking Heads. Entitle it “Summer 09″, “Until Next Year”, or even better: “GofG Hamptons”, but whatever you do, just make sure to get these tunes on your iPod to get you through the winter season ahead.

Eavesdropping Is What Guests Do Best…
- We’re confused. Richard Kimball Jr. works in finance AND he just got out of a divorce settlement? How does he have 2.5 mill for a summer rental? We’re more concerned about that than the topless parties he’s been throwing. [NYP]
- Someone told us Jon Bon Jovi was performing at Stephen Talkhouse on Friday. We didn’t believe them. We didn’t go. Please feel free to mock us for the rest of our lives. [Blog Hamptons]

The End Of The Outdoor Concert Series At Surf Lodge: Tamarama Brings The Australian Shore To Montauk
[All photos by Rob Rich]
Surf Lodge ended their 2009 Patron Outdoor Concert Series over the Labor Day weekend with Tamarama, a New York City based duo made up of Jay G. Lyon & Nick “Pottsy” Potts along with bass player Jasper Leak and drummer Sean Dixon who brought the sounds of the Australian beaches where they grew up with them to Montauk. The crowd forgot about their end of summer woes and relaxed to the folk, rock, and reggae sounds as Tamarama took on the stage closing down the outdoor deck.

Photo Of The Day: The Sun Is Setting On Summer 2009
[Photo by JT WHITE]
Beaches are emptying, temperatures are cooling, and roads are clearing. Those summer scarves we’ve mocked endlessly all summer are actually starting to come in handy. And we’re finding a use for all the those totes that we were given as gift bags these past few months - extra ways to transport our clothes back to the city. So is it true? Has summer really come to an end? Well, I guess technically. But for us, we’ll always have our endless summer…
