My brother in-law sent me this link a few weeks back and I must say that it caught my eye. Dinner in the Sky is a strange combination of a thrill ride and a gourmet dinner.
A crane hoist you and 21 other guests 50 meters (165ft) into the air at the location of your choosing. My favorite part is the piano platform that can be hoisted up next to it in case being suspended in the air wasn’t entertainment enough.
The cost for eight hours is about $11,444 (not including the catering of the food) I could not find any provisions for restrooms so you may what to hold off on the amount of cocktails that you serve.

La Tour Awful: The Truth Is Rendered, by Alissa Walker

David Serero wants you to know, first of all, that it was not a hoax. It was not, as many claim, a publicity stunt. And it was certainly not an April Fool’s joke. “We do have this tradition also,” the Paris-based architect told me in an email. “But our project was released three weeks before. Isn’t that a little early?”
