It's not a typical APW but I think the freshness of the idea alone warrants it to at least be viewed as art within the culinary presentation/dining fields.
Sure, it's made some rounds via email but if you are like me this is the first you've seen of this. In my opinion, which means more than your life, understandably (I'm a big deal), this is pretty novel concept and idea in a market that is saturated with every known idea. Very rarely do you come across an idea that comes together for an altogether enjoyable experience. And although I've never taken part of this I believe that http://www.dinnerinthesky.com has truly taken a step forward in the advancement of dining experience.

I'm guessing this is for some corporate type affairs and can see the idea genius behind this but it would make more sense to set these up on a permanent basis and rent them for a 2 hour meal experience that way you could make more money. Either way it's something that I'll probably never be fortunate to experience, however, it looks like a blast.

The mere fact that you mention rating Rob shows how important it is for you to fit into a e-community, craving ratings like a fiend for crack is quite unbecoming. The moment someone gives you an arbitrary rating with absolutely no tangible value you become so enraged that you -2 the post out of retaliation as I've already pointed out to you. That isn't enough, oh no, not for Rob Berg. The next time that person posts he does +2 DOUBLE hit points damage and gets them again to really drive in the point while little "non-introspection" Sico is laughing uncontrollably at you.
You are a whiny bitch who adds nothing more than dead brother posts, caricature images, and dull, bland personality to this shit hole. Perhaps if you could detach the internet from "real life" you'd stop dreaming about mass acceptance on ubersite and start using it for the work escape that it is.
Also, you are getting a bit pudgy. May I suggest working out.
Cheers.
P.S. There's no need to respond because your tangent reviews are like drool from a retard; completely and utterly retarded drivel.

Psychologically you are an interesting creature.
Of course, having not "met you", I don't know what kind of behavior you exhibit in what you would conveniently term "the real world" - the thing is, given the vast amount of time you spend (waste) on line cultivating this particular obnoxious digital personality, one can still safely conclude many things about you.
heh.
I don't think you have the capacity for introspection so you will never appreciate how easy you are to laugh at.
God bless you, el douchebag.

You sure put a lot of stock into these inconsequential ratings don't you?
It's just an obscure website.
Are you going to hunt down another post of mine to -2 in retaliation?

Fill your boots pookie, your bi-polar shit show is something I have come to enjoy. You are an amusing little 'gloid.

GAH!
You couldn't pay me enough to get on one of those contraptions. The open space underneath one's feet...*shudder*
I hate Ferris wheels too, for similar reasons. Lack of stability.
Oddly enough, I don't mind flying, or tall buildings...they just seem more secure.

BE....brilliant, had you taken 2 seconds to open your eyes you'd see where I mentioned that. I'm going to assume that you were looking for used condoms to inject into your scabby box instead of preventing yourself from looking like a maroon.
Also, I did the math and this turns out to be ~$600 USD for the the bare minimum requirements.
