I have mentioned this before but one of the things I have realized is that those major holiday weekends where people plan some kind of tremendous outing -- see New Years Eve, Thanksgiving Eve, etc. -- are typical the weekends where the people who don't really go out, decide to go out. Not to say I am some kind of party animal but I have a little more consistency in my life, where I do try and get out pretty routinely. Now people on Labor Day usually plan some kind of weekend away, whether it be in the Hamptons, the Jersey Shore or a trip somewhere in general. Its nice but again, to me it has to be one of the stupidest things I have ever seen. None of these locations are worth the hassle and pain of actually getting there. Also, the congestion involved in being out there is outrageous.
But more importantly, I would wager, 50% of the people who are actually doing this are miserable but just join in because they don't want to miss out. Its funny because its one of those things that I used to notice in college and I grew out of it quickly. But anyone over the age of 22 that can handle Neptunes in the Hamptons is either brain dead or just following the crowd.
