Woo hoo- The Hamptons!
Thursday, October 12th (wknd recap!)
A couple weeks ago one of my favorite friends from Cali, Melissa calls and says “hey Summer, Ryan and I are coming to NY for a wedding, I think it’s in the hamptons.” So I say, “Ooohh, the hamptons? Fun, I’ve never been there, lets get together for sure.” Fast forward to last Friday, I pack some clothes (hmmm...what do they wear in the hamptons?) and jump on the subway to meet my friend Monica and her boyfriend Josh in Brooklyn so we can all drive out together. As visions of beaches and ocean dance in my head I ask Josh “So, how long will it take to get to the hamptons?” He replies “Um...we’re not going to the hamptons, we’re going to THE HAMPTON INN in Islip.” Me: “I’m sorry, what? Is-what? The Hampton INN???”
After about an hour and half we see the Hampton Inn, conveniently located right off the freeway and go to room 101 as Melissa instructed. We knock-knock-knock on the door and a 350lb dude in his jamies answers the door. “Uh...um...sorry sir.” Blasted!! Turns out there’s a Hampton Inn about every 1/2 mile along the freeway- and we were at the wrong one.
We finally got there, and Melissa and Ryan kindly greeted us with a hotel-fridge full of Budweiser Select and Diet Coke + Stoli.
Monica hopped on her new MAC and tried to find us somewhere to eat that wasn’t Applebee’s or TGI Fridays. We would have been smart to just order a pizza but instead, six of us piled in the car.
They made me lay on top, and after 20 minutes of driving around we made it to this fantastic diner.
Our waitress was at least 100 years old and I felt kinda bad asking her to bring us drinks and heavy plates of food.
Monica and Josh relaxed over two enormous burgers...while Mel-dog and Ryan fought/made-out.
Anyway, all in all it was a good time. Hamptons...Hampton Inn- whatever! It’s true what they say - it’s not where you are but who you’re with that matters.
Saturday night was ‘Happy Birthday to Ran’ at the Annex.
She turned a ripe old 25.
I have to say, those MIT kids party like rockstars.
While the NYU kids usually end up holding their drinks in the corner. Oh well.
Clearly enjoying one (or five) too many drinks left me walking the wrong way down Orchard street and I left my sweatshirt at the Annex. Hmm....one of these days I’ll learn.
Hey Woman -
Ran acutally turned the ripe young age of 24 not 25. Thanks for using the photo of me holding two drinks and making an awful face. and hiding in a corner.

Hey - if you had a cigarette in your mouth, you could be me - that look on your face looks like aunt Sue’s favorite picture of me smoking. I had quite a few too. Hmmmm.....
