To Catch a Public-Fornication Arrest
Media gadfly and sometimes Radar blogger Choire Sicha hung out at the Meat Rack in Fire Island this weekend, wearing short-shorts and pretending to read. Why? There have been recent arrests for public sex in the gay-cruising area, and he's ready to catch them in the act! (The act of arresting, that is.) Hey, did the"circle jerk for freedom" protesting the arrests ever take place? More » -

Horny A-Gays Under Attack
Every summer, the gays of the culural elite (like John Waters, Atlantic Monthly's Andrew Sullivan, musician Rufus Wainwright) gather on the car-free Fire Island and Provincetown, Mass., to party and play. And yes, sometimes have sex outside, they way all creatures were meant to! Only in recent weeks, they've been getting arrested for that. (Awkward!) As Cherry Grove resident Choire Sicha writes for Radar, "[The Fire Island arrests] are the first known arrests for public sex on the federal land." (Some people think a "circle jerk for freedom" might help matters.) Meanwhile, in Provincetown, an effort to keep public sex under control via citations for "lewd acts" have shot way up, says the Cape Cod Times. More »

Gays Break Records For Deadly Drug Overdoses This Summer
Congratulations to this year's crop of hard-partying gays! The latest GHB-related death last weekend on Fire Island quickly follows on the heels of an "unprecedented number" of drug overdoses at the annual Pines Party on the last weekend in July, that big circuit party at which shirtless guys try to do just enough but not too much drugs (and, apparently, fail). Not noted in the report that follows from the president of the Fire Island medical offices—an unprecedented number of arrests of drug dealers at the party this year as well. More »

Hamptons-Related Transportation Crisis!
Perhaps you needn't skip out of work early—the LIRR Jamaica hub is going up in flames. It's probably just The Warriors v. the Gramercy Riffs. Still, maybe do not take the 1:39 to Montauk, Hamptons brats! And maybe not the 2:35 to Sayville, lazy Fire Island gays!

Win a Free Summer Vacation! (Only Moderate Humiliation Required)
You've heard about that Fire Island reality series they're currently casting, right? It's called Summer Share, it's being made by Real World auteurs Bunim/Murray productions, and producers are currently seeking eight people — presumably attractive, young, and at least one of whom is gay and one of whom is black and angry — to have "the opportunity of a lifetime to vacation in a magnificent beach house free of charge." The casting call currently circulating specifies that the show is for ABC, that applicants must be between 21 and 30, and they're looking for "[s]exy people with sexy jobs (models, media/publishing, ad execs, etc.) who work their asses off all week and want to unwind on the weekends." What we like best, though, is the attached questionnaire. Questions 18 through 21 are our favorites:
