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!)

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.
