Video: Spencer Tunick Hosts The Best Dinner Parties

This weekend we were invited up to Spencer Tunick's barn in Suffern, and while we were unable to make it, two of our readers braved the rain to be part of the intimate dinner party and rock show. (Plug: sign up for our newsletter to win contests like this!) On top of a locally-sourced meal that was served up, they (and the other 37-ish people in attendance) were treated to a set by not-so-local all-girl Japanese rock band Water Fai. Luckily, some of the evening was caught on tape:

How do you top all that? A sleepover and a yoga class, of course. NYC-based yogi Susanna Harwood Rubin was there, and you can read about her experience here. If you want to check out Water Fai yourself (as well as Pika Chu—who you'll see in the video), they are playing tonight at Pianos. Last chance before they head to SXSW with the rest of NYC! And let's hope this event is the beginning of some sort of Spencer Tunickpalooza—surely Lady Gaga would play.

wow 14th street

And so many important overlooked photographers are

starving ,I guess it helps to have a gimmick and stay

with it.

In any event Charles Moore died ,now that was man

who changed history with his camera.not just gave

some suckers entertainment.

this is so trying to be Levon Helm's Midnight Ramble, the early years

Tower18

That was some of the worst "music" I've heard in a while. Then again, I don't listen to "the kids' music" these days. Is this what's popular? Some girl screaming and mumbling over open dissonant guitar noise and various uses of the D-chord formation?

Oh wait, the whole thing was just to develop an artistic pretense for her to get naked. Got it. Kudos.
