| | | Tragically, this is your final shot of Thrillist Hamptons for the summer, but we'll be back next season. Tell your friends to sign up now and we'll see you Memorial Day '10, provided Skynet remains dumb and servile. | | Thrillist Hamptons Thursday September 3, 2009 The Final Flotsam Help: Drink the Drift Dry Saturday, 10pm-?; 63 Dune Road; East Quogue After their original residence burned down in '02, the Drift moved to an outdoor venue at nearby Neptune Beach, but took with them their annual end-of-summer ritual: guzzle the bar clean for the winter, even if it takes 'til sunrise. $50 gets you open-bar 'til the mission's accomplished, or the odd thrill of hearing someone say "you're not being very helpful" for not just standing around drinking. Check this place out Sean: Dune Champagne Sunday at 1181 North Sea Road, Southampton; Open from 10pm-4am; 631.283.0808 Upon arrival at Dune Sunday night, walk over to the corner and find a group headed up by two promoters named Sean, who will be armed with 25 bottles of champagne they're more than prepared to pour for anyone mentioning Thrillist, though once things get going, the goods could be Sean in 60 seconds.

TOM & Tipple: "Style Your Sole" At Sole East: 90 Second House Rd., the event is Saturday, 5 pm-10 pm; 631.668.2105 Scarf bbq (possibly a pig roast) and suckle comp wine from Brooklyn Oenology and Martha Clara Vineyards while local artists draw original designs on for-sale TOMS shoes, your purchase of which will send an identical pair to an underprivileged youth, unless you get to his mailbox first.

Barn Dance: Boardy Barn Blowout 270 W Montauk Hwy., Hampton Bays; doors open on Sunday at noon; 631.728.9733 On Sunday, this outdoor, tented bar's opening a full three and a half hours early to serve up $2 beers and $1 hot dogs, and encourage patrons to take part in possibly embarrassing games like promiscuously placing smiley face stickers on strangers with your tongue, or "beer pouring", which basically involves people dumping beers on each other -- affordable thanks to the discount, though if you're really cheap you might try "hot-dog pelting". Even if you weren't born in one, check out boardybarn.com
Linger: Georgica Monday Bash Monday at 108 Wainscott Stone Road, corner of Montauk Highway; 631.537.5603 If going back to work's negotiable, hit The Georgica Monday night for half-priced drinks (including bottle service, and cocktails created by guest drink-masters from Phao), giveaways of TooShea ties, and the hip-hop stylings of Team Facelift -- described as a cross between Wu Tang and Streisand, their goal's "basically to do to rap what Elton John did to being gay".
