Jun 30 2008How Romantic: Dinner In The Sky
Dinner In The Sky is just that -- eating while suspended 164 feet in the air via crane. The table sits 22 people and three staff in the middle. The company will hoist you anywhere they can get a permit, and the service probably costs a freaking fortune. They'll even hoist another platform to the same height if you want live music available. And, now don't tell them I told you, but if you enter coupon code 'Hovering Hooters' while ordering on the website they'll even send a few strippers up. The service is available for 8-hour sessions and I have no idea how you relieve yourself after guzzling three bottles of wine up there. But, if I had to guess, I'd say the same way you normally would -- but with real people instead of a urinal cake for target practice.
Hit the jump for a bunch more pictures and promo video.
Thanks Marc, now let's rent it and eat overlooking the pyramids. That would be hot. Literally, like 100 freaking degrees.

Yeah... but what if:
a) you fell out
b) the crane went nuts and started moving at random
c) you had a seizure while 300ft above the ground
d) the crane's cable snapped
or... most importantly...
e) the food sucked
I'm pretty sure any illusions of safety for this are even worse than on an airplane. At least on an airplane you can try to make a crash landing safely or if you happen to have a parachute, jump out.
In this situation, however, you just fall to your death.
At least they have seatbelts though. God knows they're so helpful on a plane, I'm glad they thought to add them here too.

p.s. the "I Want To Get Hit By A Wrecking Ball" tag is amazing.

What if you needed to take a piss?

So, I saw this story in People I do believe, and it costs anywhere from 20- to 120,000. Which is a bit steep. =]

Not worth it, stupid, asshats, gay, expensive, and these people are so dump (yes, I misspelled that on purpose).
They may need to take a leak, pick up a fork, and if the food sucks, then you 'fire' your chef ;)

15. mike - June 30, 2008 4:35 PM
man, how pretentious do you have to be to need a G.D. crane to host your company meeting. like seriously... damn attention whores. Why not just walk around with a big ass sign attached to your forehead that says LOOK AT ME.
16. groonk - June 30, 2008 5:00 PM
well that's very 'pie in the sky'
some would call it 'highfalutin'
when it is merely: French
17. NastyBedazzler - June 30, 2008 7:42 PM
Gay.
18. Duckie - June 30, 2008 8:29 PM
Um.Repost? I saw this not too long ago somewhere [probably here?]
Yawn.

This would only be cool if they'd spin you fast enough to eat vertically. As it is, meh.
20. Heule - July 1, 2008 1:07 AM
Not gay. Dipshit hets came up with this. Good job knuckleheads.
21. Lynz - July 1, 2008 1:07 AM
I say the crane operator moves it a teeny tiny bit to the side and goes "I'm just Joshin' ya!". What if there is wind? They should use the entire table as one big wrecking ball.
22. SmokingGirl - July 1, 2008 10:50 PM
That looks like the crane they used to remove me from my house that one time that I had a scheduled appearance on Maury Povich..
That bastard Povich never replaced my wall.

So im thinking isnt there something obvious evryone left out? Lets think, your hoisted some 100 feet up in the air on a metal steel cable and your the freakin highest thing around... grounded by a large metal crane... LIGHTNING?!?!
24. Garuda - July 2, 2008 11:33 AM
ITs really too bad about that ugly crane there.
