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>>>
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 »

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…

And there’s no better place, in our humble opinions, to mourn the loss of summer, than in the deserted Hamptons, after everyone’s packed up their warm weather whites and seasonal seersuckers and headed back to the city. Yes, it may seem like it could be lonely, but it’s much better than the alternative. More »
[Photographer Ben Watts with friends shhh-ing all talk about the end of summer]
Like many of you, we are NOT ready to say goodbye to our summer of adventures on the East End. Since we’re unable to put a stop to fall, which is approaching much faster than we would like, we’ve decided to end all conversation about September’s arrival, the oncoming cold weather, the beaches emptying, and the summer coming to a close with the hopes that maybe it will never happen and our perfect summer will last forever. We can dream can’t we? More photos by GofG’s favorite Aussie photog, Ben Watts, below… More »

If you haven’t caught the Wednesday night sailboat races this summer, then head to Sag Harbor tonight for your last chance to watch the gliding water crafts set sail as they race for the finish line during the Breakwater Yacht Club’s 2009 May Cup Series. The race starts at 6pm in the Shelter Island Sound. Go HERE for more info.
Rachelle is pretty stumped how we never met our summer loves out here. Don’t get us wrong, we met some good guys. A pretty great dancer at Love Heals, a contender for Best Dressed in Montauk, calls we never answered and probably never will, and some pictures we’ll store away in our drawers for a long time to come. But there are certain reasons why we never did in fact get to that Danny/Sandy Summer Lovin’ stage and we want to thank Maxim.com for putting their finger on it. Their “Hipster Douchebag Soundboard” sums up everything we’ve been trying to say about the not-so-fairer sex for weeks, even months now. Our personal favorite taglines from the ingenious “Hipster Douchebag Soundboard” include… More »
[Photos by R. Cole for Rob Rich] We don’t condone urinating in public, but sometimes when you have to go, you have to go. This guy was apparently in one of those emergency situations when he was caught peeing outside in a sand-filled bucket on the deck of Surf Lodge. Maybe we shouldn’t assume he was peeing in the tin pail (meant for trashing cigarettes, not for filling with whiz) but judging by his stance and the laughing/pointing that occurred by his friend, we think our assumption is correct and we don’t blame him. If you’ve ever seen the lines for the girls and boys rooms at the Montauk hot spot, you might consider picking the pail over the toilet too. More »
Did you know the first-ever WATER-FREE urinal is at Simon’s Beach Bakery in Westhampton? Did you know water-free urinals existed? We didn’t. But apparently they do, and they can save up to 40,000 gallons of water each year if they’re used instead of the toilet. Unfortunately, we can’t personally help in the conservation of water, but we have to give props for the innovative idea and for employing it in the Hamptons. Congrats, Beach Bakery. We hope the boys take notice.

[Photo by KirillwasHere]…Labor Day weekend starts tomorrow. Duh. While we would’ve loved to be in the city this week stalking the cast of Sex and the City 2, catching a Grizzly Bear concert alongside Jay-z, swinging tennis balls at the U.S. Open, and scratching our heads over the fate of the Griffin, we’re more than happy to be tucked away at the beach gearing up for the holiday weekend… More »
