The last studio of late artist Charles Addams -- creator of "The Addams Family" -- still stands in Sagaponack on a property known as "The Swamp." Get a look at the preserved house and grounds (including the pet cemetery) at the Conscience Point Shellfish Hatchery's cocktail party there Friday night, 5:13 p.m.-8:13 p.m. (it's Friday the 13th, after all). Tickets are $100 and include local wines, seafood and live music (631-807-9150 or email cpshbenefit@gmail.com).
A GOOD SWEAT
It's not your typical Hamptons cocktail mixer -- fitness instructor Edina "Kinga" Agoston will have the masses sweating for charity as she leads "Heaven Can Wait," a Zumbathon benefit at 7 Friday night at St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Hampton Bays (165 Ponquogue Ave.). A $10 donation gets you in, proceeds benefit nonprofit organizations such as The Coalition for Women's Cancers at Southampton Hospital, Heaven Can Wait, Lucia's Angels and the Ellen Hermanson Breast Center. Wear sneakers, dress comfortably and bring water -- details at zumbawithkinga.com.
DJ DOUBLE DOSE
Carle Place native Chachi, a celebrity DJ who has earned heavy cred by mixing at mega-clubs and big venues in the metro area, will be spinning twice in the Hamptons this weekend: Catch him Friday night at Georgica in Wainscott (RSVP via info@georgicarestaurant.com) and Saturday at Finale in East Hampton: finalereservations@emmgrp.com.
