Dinner in the sky. Would you do it?

[Heidi]

I guess I would...after a glass or two of red wine at sea level.

[SeattleGirl]

1. Uh, no.

Not my idea of a good time.

How ya doin', gf? :* :loveya:

[Heidi]

2. Gettin' ready to go grocery shopping

(ie, my weekly three hours in HELL.) x(

Light a candle for me. :rofl:

:*

:loveya:

:hug:

[SeattleGirl]

3. OMG, not GROCERY SHOPPING!!!!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear Heidi!

Oh, YES!

Now that would be a trip!

I'd get some great pics too...

Plus a wonderful meal...

Nice to see you tonight, sweetie!

Have fun shopping...:scared:


:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[auntAgonist]

5. omg NO , NO and NO WAY

My hands started sweating just looking at the picture. That makes me SO nervous.



:hug: Heidi, I hope you're doing well :)

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. A dropped fork could have tragic consequences

:scared:

[WinkyDink]

28. I was just gonna say: Don't pick up the napkin!

[Ava]

7. hell no

i love roller coasters, even free fall rides.. but there is no way in hell i would do that

[XemaSab]

8. This is probably TMI but looking at that picture makes my butt clench

:scared:

[billyskank]

9. Good grief!

:scared:

[regnaD kciN]

10. Only if there had been a fixed service charge...

...agreed to at the start. I wouldn't want to be handed the bill, and have the guys running the controls watching to see how big a tip I gave. ;-)

[RebelOne]

11. Oh yeah. I'll try it.

[Heidi]

12. Here's a very cool Dinner In The Sky video (sorry, not in English)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwFlOb5RHbk

[blue neen]

13. Hell no.

I would be petrified, totally unable to move or think OR eat. :)

[billyoc]

14. For goodness sakes, they're like 50 feet off the ground!

Hardly the "sky". :eyes:

(I eat breakfast and lunch in the sky every day) :hi:

[Heidi]

15. Fifty meters = 164.042 feet.

Sounds like you have a very cool job! :thumbsup:

[billyoc]

16. Only the last half-inch really hurts.

:rofl:

[Heidi]

17. :spank:

:rofl:

:spray:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

18. what if i need to pee?

:P

i would love to do it. :)

[Heidi]

19. They do have a policy about that.

Toilet facilities
It’s like in a normal restaurant: you ask where they are to the waiter and… you go down. It’s just a bit less discrete because the whole table goes down but it takes less than a minute.

(I assume "less than a minute" refers to time it takes to get ya down to the toilet, not the time it'll take ya to do your business. ;) )

:hi: gf! How's school? :hug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

22. school is awful...

:hug:

[Heidi]

23. I'm sorry to hear that.

How much longer? Hope it goes by quickly. :hug:

[greatauntoftriplets]

20. I'm terrified of heights.....

So, no way.

:hi:

[Heidi]

21. But, but, but...

billyoc says upthread that if ya fall, it's only the last inch that hurts. :rofl:

Mornin', friend! :hug:

[supernova]

24. No no, a thousand times NO!

:scared:

Beautiful aerial view of the landscape? Check

Great food? Check

Great wine? Check


But just looks like a tragedy waiting to happen. :scared:

Like Ava, I'm not scared of heights. Amusement park rides are fun to me. I can walk out to the edge of the most precipitous scenic lookouts and not flinch.

But that? Yikes! I think it has something to do with the lenght of time I'm not in control.

edit: Did you see the marquee on their web site? "Dinner Over The Grand Canyon"

[RFKHumphreyObama]

25. Definitely

Although I'm scared of heights, I also love flying

[mainegreen]

26. Hundreds of millions of years of accumulated evolutionary wisdom are telling me FUCK NO.

I ain't no bird.

[Heidi]

27. Oh, sure! Play the logic card.

:rofl:

[dropkickpa]

29. Nope, bugs, wind, etc

I'm not even a huge fan of picnics, I'm sure the food is mediocre and lukewarm at best, at too high a cost. Although, farting at the table might be a titch more acceptable, as it'll blow away rather than lingering.

[bigwillq]

30. No, not for me.

I'll pass.

[WinkyDink]

31. People like these give higher-taxes-on-the-rich a very good name.

[EstimatedProphet]

32. Hell yeah!

I'm also anti-afraid of heights.

[Heidi]

33. We'd love to have dinner with you and The Prophetess

at _any_ height. :hug:

[medicswife]

34. Hell no. What a waste of money.

Go have a nice dinner on the ground and give all of your savings to charity.

[In_The_Wind]

35. I would if there was a better view,

less pavement, more trees or water

[Heidi]

37. JOANI!!!!!

Here's your better Dinner In The Sky view. :hug: :loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

38. aaaaaaahhhh

That's more to my taste. I'm not a city girl at all.

:loveya::hug:

[MrCoffee]

36. Absolutely

I think that looks great.

[tigereye]

39. yeah, but from a crane? isn't there a big tower that could serve as well

as the platform? And btw, we want pix if you do it!


How about in a hot air balloon?


:hi: How are you guys? :hug:

[Crazy Dave]

40. Has anyone seen my steak knife?

There it is...impaled in that poor guy's head below us :wow:

[1gobluedem]

41. Not in a million billion years

That is too scary even as a photo!

[Rhiannon12866]

42. Nope! Yikes!!! I'm afraid of heights...

I'd be the one quaking, sitting on the floor with my arms wrapped around the table leg, whimpering for somebody to let me down. I once did a similar thing on a ferris wheel... :blush::scared:

[wickerwoman]

43. Yes, I just wouldn't pay for it.

And what happens if the person they seat you next to is an asshole (which seems pretty likely given the group that self-selected from "I would pay to eat dinner on a table suspended from a crane")? No escape...

[Orsino]

44. Uh-uh.

Looks like a nice view, and I might even enjoy the meal, but there are better views to be had and probably better meals, too.

I'm sure I would be very uncomfortable for the first few minutes.

[bertha katzenengel]

45. Not a chance in hell.

:scared:

:hi: Heidi

[Heidi]

47. But what if

I sat beside you, and we could talk about our cats over a couple of glasses of chianti? I'd love that. :hug:

:loveya:

[bertha katzenengel]

48. Tempting. But I bet i could talk you down for that glass

of chianti and a wonderful visit. :)

:pals: :loveya:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

46. I would do it. I would not bungee jump and I don't think I would parachute

(unless it was an emergency situation) BUT yeah. I would do this. :hi:

[jobycom]

49. Looks fun, but I'd hate to be the waiter. "Let me pop into the cellar for another bottle"

would have a different ending than normal.
