Auction: Surf Art Auction at Surf Lodge
The auction is Saturday from 5-8pm at the Surf Lodge: 183 Edgemere St., Montauk; 631.668.1562
$30 gets you three hours of open Surf Lodge bar and a performance from "the Anguillan Bob Dylan" Bankie Banx, as Paddlers for Humanity auctions off artist-rendered surfboards, a stand-up paddleboard, a hand-crafted wooden kayak, private yoga sessions, and an autographed book from Jimmy Buffett, who's also been compared to Dylan, but only by people smoking the Coral Reefer.

Java: Just Coffee Truck
Located in the parking lot near IGA as you drive into Montauk, they are open Mon-Thur, 7am-noon and Fri-Sun, 7am-5pm
Helmed by a seriously veteran Oregon/LA barista, the Just truck's bringing beans from NYC's vaunted Gimme! Coffee to quality caffeine-deprived Montauk. Potent pick-me-ups include the Café Cubano (double espresso shot filtered with raw sugar mixed with the grinds) and the Red Eye: a 20oz coffee loaded with four espresso shots, for when "I'll sleep when I'm dead" means "as soon as my heart seizes after these four espresso shots".
Gear: Too Shea Michael Jackson Tees
So new they're not even on the webstore yet, these ltd-edition, hand-printed-in-Sag tees depict MJ in a moonwalking profile, a gravity-defying lean, and a crotch-grabbing pose, wherein Michael roughly cups "James Westfall" and "Dr. Conrad Murray".
Purchase an MJ shirt by emailing shea@toosheadesigns.com; check the rest of her line at toosheadesigns.com
Drink Exotically: Phao's "Pearl Cocktails"
Phao is located at 29 Main Street, Sag Harbor; 631.725.0101
This casually upscale Thai hangout's added two instantly popular, weekend-only "pearl cocktails": the Shinju Pearl (glass of champagne w/ pearls of orange liqueur) and a similar version of their pomegranate martini. The pearling process, developed at best-resto-in-the-world El Bulli, involves encapsulating the liqueur inside tiny gel balls, kind of like crunchy medicine caps -- or, considering your alco-holistic approach to health, exactly like crunchy medicine caps.
