“THAT’S THE PROBLEM with drinking, I thought, as I poured myself a drink. If something bad happens you drink in an attempt to forget; if something good happens you drink in order to celebrate; and if nothing happens you drink to make something happen,” wrote Charles Bukowski in Women. Well, you didn’t have to drink to make something happen this summer! On July 6, Ben Pundole, Mazdack Rassi, and Ben Watts presented the 10th annual “Shark Attack Sounds” at Rick’s Crabby Cowboy Cafe in Montauk with music by Victor Calderone, Zen Freeman, Carl Kennedy, and Chelsea Leyland.

Where.com invited Caroline Smith and me to her home, Smithfield Farms, for the Fitch's Corner Horse Trials in Millbrook. The event, which included the Blue Jean Ball and the Spectator Luncheon, was aswirl with “Olympic Village”-themed outfits worn by revelers including Natasha Blodgett, Chrissy Gaffney, Emily Hottenson, Bobby Hottenson, and John Shaddock.

On the 23rd, the Cinema Society hosted a screening of Killer Joe with Bally and DeLeón Tequila. At the after-party, Gina Gerson and Matthew McConaughey, who appear in the film, mixed and mingled with Jessica Hart, Nicky Hilton, and Stavros Niarchos at Amy Sacco’s latest and greatest, No. 8. On the 27th, I visited the Della Femina residence in East Hampton for an outdoor screening of Robot & Frank, hosted SEPTEMBER 2012 141
