Siren Music Festival last weekend at Coney Island. Free concert = tonsss of people => we saw most of the bands from far away, a beer in the hand. yeah. Although the picture is from 2003, I can assure you there was that much people, and I still managed somehow to find my boss, and two other people from work in the crowd :) It was cool and we ended up on the beach altogether for a few corn dogs and, of course, more beer... 

Last weekend was the most relaxing of all since I move to New York. We had this house in the Hamptons for two days, a car, great weather and no Internet access. It took us 3 hours by train to get there, riding east along the coast, but it's worth it (I guess any occasion to get away from the city is worth it).

East Hamptons beach. The Hamptons are like Deauville for Paris: it is the place to show off in the summer, and for that matter renting a place there can go from a few thousands to a few millions (for example the rental site hreo.com allows to set a price range to refine your search by $100,000 increments only). Consequently most New Yorker cannot afford to go there often, if at all, and in fact are pretty annoyed with the hype around it -> check the great site nukethehamptons.com...  

The PS1 museum started its Warm up parties this weekend: art+ electronic music + beer & hot dogs = 1000 people... (the shitty photo is from Christy's cell phone) 

We kinda let our backyard live its life for a few weeks and here is the result: a massive green mess. Now we have a "plant", which is 7 feet tall and I seriously think I am going to cut it up, unless it starts to give bananas, kiwis, coconuts or grapes soon... any idea what this is? 

Coney Island's Mermaid Parade with Moby as the Ocean king. Coney Island has a boardwalk with old wood roller coasters like Santa Cruz, a trashy but nice-to-have get-away from the city...
