Southampton - Although the 'official' end of summer blew in, right after 'Irene,' Labor Day weekend activities reminded all of us that events, activities and happenings in the Hamptons never end, just because the evenings are a bit cooler.

On Saturday September 10, Beach Blast A Go-Go will be held on Shelter Island between 3 p.m. and 12 midnight, at the lovely Wades Beach.

The sandy stage is set for what many consider the best end of season party of the year. The Island Gift of Life Foundation's Shelter Island Benefit Beach Blast A-Go Go! marks its 26th year (7th for the IGOLF) and the lineup is fabulous!

Gene Casey and The Lonesharks, Winstron Irie (Reggae from Jamaica!), The Who Dat Loungers (New Orleans R&B), The Realm (Original Rock), New Dawn (Soul), Human Error (Punk), and the fabulous Moondogs, and more bands. Also the Burlesque Go Go dancing Teenie Wahinis will shake things up, along with host, comedian Jack Simmons. A BBQ will be available for a small fee, and don't forget the world famous electric Go-Go Cages which will be set up on the side of the stage for everyone to shake a tail feather in!

For more information go to www.giftoflife.org, admission is $10 for the entire event collected at the beach, and parking is free. If the weather is foul, contact 631-749-0390, www.sibeachblast.com, or 631 466-2768. Have fun!

Summer 2011 was another wild ride in the Hamptons with many great parties and social events to make any socialite beg for more. Rounding out Labor Day weekend was the much anticipated www.thejumpoff.com mobile phone application party held at a private residence in Water Mill on Sunday, September 4 - www.thejumpoff.com is an easy way to quickly find out what parties and events are going on right now, in any local area. The site was created and mastered by Southampton residents Jason Pollak and Harris Trock.

Ryan Hernandez and Michael DeRosa of the Foul Owl Group which is a leading lifestyle-hospitality company in New York hosted the event along with Pollak and Trock, with a "Live That Life," theme. The event was sponsored by many great names including George Valliades Panda Rhand clothing line and Reve Vodka. MTV was also on hand shooting an episode of a show to be announced in mid-December.

Well known artist April Gornik will participate in "The Value of Water" - a group show, curated by Fredericka Foster, to open on September 22, with a reception from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in NYC.
