00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.120
It's the HM Breakfast Show with Harry heading towards a very interesting weekend weather-wise.
00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:09.439
So Amy Zavato's task this week to come up with things that are rain or shine.
00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:12.080
That is that is the challenge for you, Amy.
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:12.480
How are you?
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:12.880
Welcome.
00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:15.279
Oh, that was a little bit of a challenge this weekend.
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:24.559
I think all of us were a little sad on for the North Fork to hear that the Maritime Festival was being put off, but it is rescheduled for October 16th.
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:26.559
So everybody mark your calendars.
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:30.399
And for this weekend, we've got all kinds of good stuff that let's dive in.
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:36.000
Amy is the editor-in-chief of North Forker and South Forker magazines, and she always has some cool things to do.
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:40.000
And I think it starts tonight at the Suffolk in downtown Riverhead.
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:40.560
Yeah.
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:45.439
So I don't know about you, but I discovered the smithereens back in the 80s.
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:46.560
I will date myself.
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:49.359
And I was always such a big fan of theirs.
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:56.479
Um and I love how the original members have kept it going since their lead singer Pat Denizio passed away almost a decade ago.
00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:57.039
I can't believe it.
00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:58.079
Wow, it's been that long.
00:00:58.320 --> 00:00:58.799
I know.
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:08.319
So they are bringing their brand of 80s and 90s era power pop progressive rock to the Suffolk at 118 East Main Street in Riverhead.
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:15.120
And that's tonight with a special guest, the amazing Marshall Crenshaw, who I am also such a big fan of.
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:17.200
He just he just makes me smile.
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:19.840
Tickets are 60 to 90 dollars.
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:21.519
The show starts at 8 o'clock.
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:25.120
And to get yours, go to thesuffolk.org.
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:25.760
That's fun.
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:27.439
That's a good way to kick off this weekend, too.
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:36.079
Especially if you don't know where the weather is or if you'll be able to go out, get out tonight and uh get to Riverhead to watch the smithereens with Marshall Crenshaw filling as the guest vocalist.
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:37.120
That's a that's a good time.
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:37.920
I've seen that before.
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:39.040
And he's he's great.
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:42.640
They do a whole bunch of different uh guests, and I I think he might be my favorite.
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:44.719
Yeah, someday, someday, some way, Harry.
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:47.040
I know he's terrific.
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:53.040
Uh we are gonna get tickets to suffoc.org and we'd be giving them away throughout the week here on the show.
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:59.200
All right, now there's some other things going on, and I guess the key is to to check before you go, just to make sure.
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:02.959
Um there's an autumn antique fair that's happening out of the North Florida.
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:06.400
Yeah, so on Saturday and Sunday, they have this both days.
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:09.599
I just checked the website this morning and it hadn't been canceled.
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:13.520
So fingers crossed that tomorrow it's still gonna be on.
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:26.960
And this annual Autumn Antiques Fine Art and Crafts Fair will be at the Maple Lane campus of the South Hold Historical Museum at 55200 Main Road in South Hold.
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:28.159
And that's from 9 a.m.
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:29.039
to 5 p.m.
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:37.360
There are tons of antiques and fine art and pottery and photography and handmade crafts and all kinds of vintage items.
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:38.960
There's gonna be live music.
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:40.639
Emissions only five bucks.
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:42.879
It's like such a great deal, I know, right?
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.400
And it includes a free raffle ticket, which who doesn't love a raffle?
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.319
I personally love a raffle.
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:50.800
Uh again, it's also Sunday, so it's both days.
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:56.000
If you miss it one day, for more details, go to southholdhistorical.org.
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:56.879
And that's great.
00:02:56.960 --> 00:02:57.759
Uh that'll be fun.
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:00.879
And then something for the family, uh, for everyone, really.
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:04.240
Uh the fall festival at the shops at East Wind is going on this weekend.
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:06.400
Yeah, and that is rain or shine.
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:08.159
So no worries on that one.
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:21.280
Uh, if you didn't get enough fall festival activity in South Hold, you can head to um the shops at East Wind in Waiting River because the Waiting River Shoreham Chamber of Commerce is hosting their annual fall festival.
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:25.919
And that's at 5768 Route 25A in Waiting River.
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:34.159
And there's going to be live music, uh line dancing if you're if you're looking for a little different way to exercise and have some fun.
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:36.560
Music by the band Southbound.
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:41.280
There's going to be food trucks, tons of local vendors, lots of activities for the kids.
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:47.439
So if your kids have been pent up all weekend because it does rain, um, you'll have lots of things for them to do there.
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:50.080
So get on, get on over to Waiting River and you'll have a great time.
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:50.800
That'll be good.
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:52.560
And it's beautiful up there, especially this time of year.
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:54.319
Smithereeds kick it off tonight.
00:03:54.400 --> 00:04:00.159
You've got a great autumn antique fair throughout the weekend, and then the fall festival at the shops at East Wind.
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:07.680
That is the North Fork Picks from Amy, who joins us every Friday at this time as we uh go through all the happenings that are going on.
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:11.759
And now it's on the shift to the South Fork where there's a book talk going on.
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.719
Yeah, you know, I've been this book has been on my radar.
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:21.439
I'm I'm really interested in getting my hands on this by journalist author Juana Libedinsky.
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:29.759
And she's going to be reading from her new memoir, Downhill, a memoir of an accident, two comas, many books, and starting over.
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:30.879
That's a title.
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:35.199
Um and the story promises to be as epic as as it sounds.
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:48.160
So this Saturday at Southampton Arts Center, uh, Libdinsky will be talking about the impetus for this book, which was her husband getting into a horrible ski accident in the Andes and going into a coma.
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:53.360
And this is the story of the aftermath that she endured getting through it with her two children.
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:55.839
It's supposed to be just an absolutely riveting book.
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:58.480
And you can go listen to her story at 4 p.m.
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:00.639
at 25 Jobes Lane.
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:02.639
It's only 15 bucks to attend.
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:04.879
It's indoors, so you can stay dry.
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:08.000
Go to southamptonarts.org for more information.
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:08.639
All right.
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.519
Now that sounds like really really interesting, I must say.
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:17.120
The exact opposite is happening at Bay Street, where there's some comedy this weekend.
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:19.120
Yes, so we like to balance things, right?
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:21.279
We really we like to keep things in check.
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:30.560
So this Saturday night at Bay Street at One Long Wharf in the wonderful town of Sag Harbor, the Ha Ha Hamptons Comedy Tour is coming back.
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:32.160
It's in its fourth year.
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:42.560
The performance this time around features national headliner Bob Nelson, along with other funny men, Tom DiDario, Andy Pitts, and Paul Anthony.
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:46.560
It's just, if you need a laugh, this is totally the place to be.
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:48.399
Tickets are 44 bucks.
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:50.240
It's it starts at 8 p.m.
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:53.680
Go to baystreet.org and get your seats.
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.759
Literally something for everyone this weekend on the North and South Fork.
00:05:57.839 --> 00:05:58.959
Uh, and let's talk too.
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.120
We want to families and other things that are happening.
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:04.079
There's an all-ages play at the Parish Art Museum.
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:12.800
Yeah, so you know, again, I'm trying to think of all you poor parents out there who have little kids who are all pent up if it does rain.
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:19.519
And the parish has got you covered at 279 Montauk Highway on Sunday in Watermill.
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:23.759
So they've dubbed this the Imagination Play Project Pop-Up.
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:25.360
And it's from 11 to 3 p.m.
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:29.279
So lots of hours to get all that pent-up energy out for the little kids.
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:43.439
Although it is an all-ages uh activity to, you know, engage in some creative play using conventional and unconventional materials and also some natural materials from outside and nature.
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.800
It's at the museum's Pasculano studio.
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.160
It's being led by uh curator Linda White.
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:51.279
It's free.
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:54.639
And you can learn more at parishart.org.
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:55.439
All right.
00:06:55.600 --> 00:07:07.680
That's uh a nice mixture of stuff to do this weekend, even despite the weather, no matter what, uh, there's stuff to go, just be careful when you're traveling, of course, uh on the South Fork and North Fork all throughout the next couple of days.
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:09.199
Amy Zavato is here.
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:18.800
We're chatting about uh the weekend picks, and we like to shift our focus to the websites uh northforker.com, southforker.com, because there's so many terrific articles up there.
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:24.560
And I almost I I kind of forgot that with this month has flown by, we're getting ready for Oktoberfest.
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:30.480
Don't let the uh don't let the storm or you know, make sure you get out and celebrate before it's it's too late.
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:31.600
Oh my goodness.
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:37.680
Um, so as you know, Harry, I just got back from my very first trip to Germany, so I am feeling this one.
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:42.639
We have a great roundup of Oktoberfest events on the North Fork.
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:45.759
And uh a lot of them start in September.
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.240
So don't don't think you have to wait for October.
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:52.480
Head on over to Northforker.com and check out what's going on.
00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:54.319
Also, a lot of that's indoors.
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:59.839
So if we do get rain tomorrow and Sunday, this is uh this is a good little roundup for you.
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:00.720
Now that'll be fun.
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:02.560
Oktoberfest is is always a good time.
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:08.480
And then there's Negroni Week happening, and that's uh that's being celebrated all over, but also here on the East End.
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:09.680
Yeah, totally.
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:17.920
So I know I have a lot of drinking stories for you for you this week on the sites, but uh as you might know, I I used to write a lot about cocktails and wine.
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.319
That was my that was my bag for many, many years.
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:22.240
And I love Negroni Week.
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:29.040
It's such a great classic cocktail, and I love seeing how people make different interesting riffs on it.
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:38.879
And in my weekly column, Southside Sips, we have a good little recipe for all of you out there that's a little a little fall skewed for the Negroni and to wrap up Negroni Week.
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:40.639
So head on over there and get the recipe.
00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:41.360
That's perfect.
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:42.480
Amy, thank you so much.
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:43.679
Good luck this weekend.
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.960
Hopefully that we can get out and enjoy some things despite the weather.
00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:49.679
And we look forward to uh seeing how it goes.
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:50.720
And thank you for coming on.
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:52.639
