These guys at Broadwater just don’t get that you can’t build a super tanker in the middle of Long Island Sound. They just asked for an extra 30 days to appeal the decision by our govenor.

Take a hint Broadwater and get out of here!

 From Newsday

Broadwater Energy, continuing its battle to place a liquefied natural gas barge in Long Island Sound, has asked for more time to prepare an appeal to the U.S. Commerce Department that was to have been filed Monday of New York State’s rejection of the project.

Surfing is not swimming. At least that is what the East Hampton (NY) Town Justice Court decided recently after eight surfers beat charges of violating a section of the State of New York Official Compilation of Codes, Rules, and Regulations, while surfing on the north side of Montauk Point, known as the North Bar.
The statute prohibits “swimming, diving, bathing, or wading in swimming pools or other waters or walking upon the frozen surface thereof” on state park property and when Kenneth Angiulo, Brian Luckey, Paul Biedrzycki, Christopher Greene, William Lucey, Brad McGill, David Providenti, and Jeffrey Pressman paddled out for a surf on August 25th an officer charged them with the violation.

We never complain when we here news like this. Expect to see filming of “Gossip Girl” in the Hamptons this summer. The LA Times has confirmed that the shows producers will definitely be shooting in the Hamptons.

This of course, always means that hot and sexy New York actors and actresses will be flocking out here in the hopes to be an extra. No complaints here.

Will ‘Gossip Girl’ do the Hamptons next season? Of course, darling

Man below decides to use a shark as a tow boat. We just have to ask Lars from Main Beach surf shop his thoughts. Is this the next cool thing to do this summer?

That’s right, the biggest block buster of the year mentions East Hampton in one of the early scenes where the comic book weapons billionaire Tony Stark, the alias behind Iron Man, decides that he needs to own a Jackson Pollack from his Spring era. He is of course corrected by his assistant who tells him that it is not from his “Spring era, but is from his house in Springs which is a part of East Hampton New York.

Awww yeah! Iron Man gives a shout out to the Hamptons. We saw the movie this weekend and it is AWESOME! It’s playing in East Hampton.

May this Sag Harbor Soldier rest in peace.

East Hampton’s Howard Schultz is sticking to coffee. The chairman and chief executive of Starbucks turned over management control of the corporation’s in-house record label, Hear Music, to Concord Music Group.
