And being part DJ/part badass business man isn’t one of them…

I wear the same thing everyday (I own a lot of black t-shirts)
I dj-ed a wedding or bar mitzvah every weekend of my life from age 13-17
and Snoop Dogg performed at one of them
I turned down a job at a big record label to start my own
I wish I could spin all disco at every gig
My best friend is my manager
He probably would’ve liked to have some input on these 15 things. Oh well.
We have our own company, Super Music Group (of which Farryn is a groupie)
My favorite producer right now (besides Amtrac) is Louis La Roche
I love coffee. Hit me with that TRENTA
I’m a total nerd. Send me your spreadsheets and Powerpoints. I will proofread
Also on the nerd thing, I watch a lot of political news. Meet The F**king Press.
I’m obsessed with the Beatles 
and food…
Super Music Group is accepting submissions, so send your ish submit2smg@gmail.com

I dare you not to be obsessed with Derek’s latest mixtape, Volume 5. And I promise, it has nothing to do with the fact that Austyntatious created the artwork above. What can I say? We keep it in the fam. Like the Jacksons.

oundup of my favorite things this week….
A party for summers sake, the final lift-off and a Peruvian hideout
….follow it, don’t judge it
 

Party. Jetset Farryn & Friends.
You heard me rattle and rave about CO-OP Food & Drink, the newly opened modern American brasserie & sushi bar at the Hotel on Rivington…. now they’re kicking off a series of summer’s eve events and yours truly will be taking part in the festivities. Join me, Grungy Gentleman, The Velveteen and Austyntatious for some food, drinks and serious flirting. Tuesday July 12th. 

Hotel. Titilaka Lodge.
On a small, remote peninsula on the shores of the earth’s highest navigable lake, Hotel Titilaka brings the sophisticated boutique hotel experience to one of the world’s most physically and culturally stunning places. The 18-suite retreat immerses you in the cuisine, landscape, mystery and brilliance of the ancient Andes, and includes all meals, plus a choice of local excursions from mountain biking and bird watching to rowing and sightseeing.

Lift-Off. Goodbye Nasa.
The Atlantis blazed a path into history today as it rocketed off the launch pad for a final time, marking the last-ever liftoff of the 30-year-old American space shuttle program. The storied spacecraft is carrying a crew of four US astronauts toward the International Space Station on a 12-day mission to re-stock the orbiting lab. The mission marks the end of an era in human spaceflight, leaving the United States with no spacecraft capable of taking astronauts to orbit and leaving Russia’s three-seat Soyuz capsule as the sole taxi to the ISS (via nationalpost)

From Miami to Montauk, from start to finish…
Here’s my month in recap
Ready, set, go!

Paddle Out. Manhattan Kayak Company.
Wednesday. 6 PM.

You’ve heard me profess my love for kayaking before (I’m a pretty bad-ass paddler if I must say so myself), so it was only a matter of time ‘til I took my skills to the seas. Manhattan Kayak Company, owned and operated by Eric Stiller and Brian Maxey, takes off from The Frying Pan… so you can have your beer and burn it off too…

@Jetsetfarryn: By no means did I plan my kayaking trip in the Hudson around #FleetWeek….

Dip It. Dim Sum a Go Go.
Sunday. 8 PM.

A Hong Kong chef (Guy Lieu) in the heart of Chinatown where Wise Man’s Broth and Mai Fun Noodle Soup are as easy to come by as chopped salads and Chai Lattes in Chelsea. Yet the write-it-down menus and no frills decor set the spot apart. Dungeness Crab, fresh Sea Bass and the makings of a perfect Spicy Sunday spot.

Sleep. Ruschmeyer’s -Montauk.
Friday. 5 PM.

There’s a reason travelers venture to the easternmost tip of Long Island to spend long weekends in Montauk. Its Brooklyn-meets-Malibu vibe attracts artists and musicians, families and singles, out-of-towners and locals alike. Montauk is the go-to getaway for those looking to escape, to stay under the radar and away from the sceney side of the Hamptons.

A few years ago Surf Lodge set the standard for a new kind of Montauk escape, with its relaxed and charming yet modern vibe. And where Surf Lodge might remind you ofGidget and beach bonfires, the brand new Ruschmeyer’s is your very own Camp Nowhere. Read my full review here…

Couldn’t disagree more http://bit.ly/mvBsMh RT @curbedhamptons: The Ruschmeyer’s backlash begins! http://curbed.cc/kuzS6e

Dig In. Lunch Lobster Roll.
Saturday. 1 PM.

There are Lobster Rolls and then there are Lobsta’ Rolls (cue the Long Island accent) and Lunch is the best of the best south of Maine. The Lobster Roll Restaurant was purchased in 1965 by Frederick H. Terry Sr., and his Dad; Richard C. Terry Sr. when it was a tiny roadside clam shack on the Napeague stretch. The Lobster Roll Resto was coined as “Lunch“ (ya know, like me… and JetsetFarryn) and the rest is history. You can enjoy the Mac-n-Cheese, you can down some Fried Oysters, but let’s be serious… it’s all. about. the. roll.

@JetsetFarryn: Me and a Lobster Roll at @Lunchlobroll. Hanging in the kitchen with the cute chefs… Lucky me.

Pit Stop. Vickis Veggies.
Saturday. 3 PM.

I love the road from East Hampton to Montauk, especially when the road has hidden gems like Vicki’s Veggie stand. This East Hampton-based farmers mini-market specializes in organic and locally farmed produce. So stop on Montauk Highway and pick up strawberries, local beets and some seriously delicious zucchini bread.

Chill Out. Sunset Beach.
Sunday. 1 PM.

There’s just something about Sunset.... maybe it’s the Ibiza-esque shoreline dotted with Yachts or the St. Tropez vibe a-top it’s famed restaurant. Occupants spill from the boats onto the beach, some staying for the entire summer, others just for cocktails and dinner. André Balazs’s (yes we met, and it was epic) chic, hip hangout has set the tone for East End getaways since it opened in the late ’90s. This summer, see and be seen at this retro spot, just a short ferry ride from the more hectic Hamptons. There’s always time for mojitos and music…

Dance. South Pointe.
Saturday. Midnight.

This summer, there’s a new sheriff in town. First Name: South. Last Name: Pointe…. And he’s raising the bar for tunes off of 27. South Pointe Nightclub (in the old RdV East space) opened in South Hampton with a weekend full of David Berrie, Funkagenda, Drek Martinez and Calvin Harris; Avicii and Max Vangelli followed suit. Some icing on the party-cake? The spot is equipped with palm trees, cabanas and a euro-vibe… so see you on the flip side. Questions or concerns? Contact Jonathan Schwartz, just say JetsetFarryn sent you.

@JetsetFarryn: Big night. Big moves. Big love. @Schwartzjon. @SouthPointeNY. @TheChainsmokers. @CalvinHarris.

Devour. Sripraphai Thai Restaurant.
Sunday. 8 PM.

Sripraphai Tipmanee came to New York 33 years ago starting out as a nurse. Turns out, she’s nursing me back to life post-Hamptons partying the best way possible: with spicy, saucy, noodle-filled food. Fried soft shell crab, Rad-Na, dumplings, Tom-yum shrimp, Bu-Du sauce rice, Yellow (karee) curry and more…. yeah, let’s sing a song called “I Ate The Place“… and I guarantee so would you.

I apologize for what I’m about to do to some Tom-Yum and Kao Soy (@ Sripraphai Thai Restaurant w/ 4 others) http://4sq.com/jIylL2

View. A Controlled Substance by Austyntatious.
Saturday. 8 PM.

I believe in nothing more than my sisters, so it’s no surprise (despite it being Miami, in June) that I hopped down south for Austyntatious’s first solo-gallery show. From prints to plexi, the show featured some of her best work and was only a small sign of things to come. Peep the pics, enjoy the view just don’t ask for your very own “Clutch”… it’s officially sold out.

Shake It. Governors Ball Music Festival.
Saturday. 1 PM.

Coachella counting down-teens and over-the-Zoo adults hoped aboard the ferry to Governors Island for this year’s Governors Ball. The one-day, two-stage event featured some of the biggest and best live acts in electronic, dance, hip-hop and indie music; Girl Talk, Pretty Lights, Empire of the Sun, Passion Pit DJ Set, Das Racist, Neon Indian and Big Boi took over the isle (which is evidently the soon-to-be home of NYU Freshman) for twelve, straight, sunny hours. I loved the fun-for-the-whole family vibe; Governor’s Ball skewed more classy than trashy as opposed to most of the festivals we’ve seen this year…. VIP being worth it - hooray for skipping the ferry line and separate seating (kudos to the Fest makers for seriously well organized transportation. But, it’s a good thing Girl Talk sprayed the crowd with toilet paper – he had something to clean up his mess of a set with. Read my full review here…

Explore. Not a Gallery at Tenent.
Sunday. 3 PM.

I first blogged about Not a Gallery in December for my Gift It Guide… and my obsession has only grown since meeting the handsome and charming Mr. Belmont face-to-face. Not a Gallery offers contemporary art for sale online, and now you can snag your own ready-to-hang pieces from two Hampton locales - inside the uber-cool Tenent Shop and The Bulls Head Barn in Southampton. So stroll on by and start-up a decidedly not-snobby art debate. Call yourself a connoisseur, I won’t tell….

oundup of my favorite things this week… follow it, don’t judge it!

View. Austyntatious for Art Walk.
Call me a stage mom, call me a big sister, call me her biggest fan, but there are few moments in life as important as your sisters first gallery show. After stints in Michigan, Miami, Thailand and Tel Aviv, Austyntatious has come into her own - and into her own gallery show as part of Miami’s Art Walk. From fine art photography to one-of-a-kind acrylic and Marlboro work (yes, Marlboro), A Controlled Substance opens tomorrow night at Control Gallery in Wynwood… and like any good substance, it will blow your mind. Prices available upon request and stay tuned for full show coverage…

Live. Architectizer for Jay Z’s Life + Times.
Jay Z wants what Jay Z gets, but the rest of us will have to settle for merely viewing it. For example, his latest piece of architecture treats from Architectizer for his editorial venture Life + Times. The article features five seriously swanky beach houses for us to fantasize over, and fantasize I did. As for the rest of the site? The tumblr-esque design is enticing; it displays Jay Z’s (and a few select contributors) influences, loves, wants and dreams but I’m not really sold. What do you think? Share your feedback.

From ThanksGiving to DanceGiving here’s a holiday weekend in two parts. And man am I thankful for both…. Grandmothers kisses, Mom’s secret recipes, Aoki’s new single, @Austyntatious snapshots and killer calorie burning, an inspired ready, steady, go!

Thanksgiving. Miami.
Thursday. All Day.

Tradition is as follows: every member of the family picks and cooks (or pretends to cook) one dish, and every member of the family must wear clothing that resembles pajamas. Throw in some iPad speeches, a few I’m thankful for’s, a bowl of blackberry’s and serious grub love and you’ve got yourself a Weiner family holiday.

I’m thankful to be a Weiner, for reals. @amandaweiner @Austyntatiouss

1 recipe per person… its currently a mad house here RT @charynpfeuffer: Q7. Favorite Thanksgiving/Holiday tradition? #TNI 25 Nov 

@DanceGiving Music Festival. Ft. Lauderdale.
Friday. All Night.

Oh boys of Dayglow, how you disappointed me once (I’m talking to you Paul Campbell)… you left me roaming the streets of NYC, on a Saturday night, in waterproof attire. But this holiday weekend the party boys made up for it with DanceGiving, a new event to tack on to tradition. What’s there to be thankful for? 3 Stages. An off-the-path location (oh hey Ft. Lauderdale) and 16 hours of calorie blasting beats, brought to you by @Steve Aoki, @LA Riots, @Cedric Gervais, @Wolfgang Gartner and @Robbie Rivera, to name a few. If you don’t believe me, just ask the thousands of fans who danced till dawn. Seriously, just ask them. 

#Check, check. RT @Austyntatiouss: Press pass, check. @steveaoki , check. @lariots, check. Twins? @jetsetfarryn @amandaweiner check. Check. 26 Nov 

Its time. RT @steveaoki: RT @danielRiots: @Soniccmusic 745 - 9pm / @LARiots 9 - 10pm / @wolfganggartner then @steveaoki on after. get it in! 26 Nov

There’s been a lot of art-for-social-status-sake going on in NYC this week, and to be honest, I can barely keep up. So thanks to @Austyntatiouss, @AmandaWeiner @FashionWirePress and @SpreadHOUSE we’re ready to round it up… Follow it, don’t judge it. 

Salvador Dali at Time Warner Center
Some art is simply not to be missed. So when I came down with a bad ass cold on Thursday, Austyntatious (long time Dali doater) took my place at the Galerie Elysees at Time Warner Center for the unveiling of “Dali: The Vision of a Genius.” The exhibit presents a rare collection of bronze sculptures by the Sargeant of Surrealism, and it’s open to the public, so check it out. Tick tock on the Dali clock by @Austyntatiouss

@Victorias Secret Fashion Show
The infamously scandalous and dreamy dream producing Victoria Secret Fashion Show wowed fans on Wednesday night at the Armory in NYC. Katy Perry and Akon gave models a-somethin’ to walk to as they strutted down the catwalk in a variety of wing-clad looks. Be it a sexy soccer player to a “wild thing,” I’ll take em’ all.
