Y'know, I was dodging reporters all day. I didn't want anyone to think I was posing for Spencer Tunick just so I could get myself on the news. But apparently the AP cameraman had a zoom lens. Click here to watch the story. You may notice my hair is all over the place; I didn't wear any product, I felt it went against the entire concept of the nakedness. Although I did wear deoderant. There's no need to be rude.
This footage was filmed when I was standing on the roof deck; four decks below us were filled with people too. Right as we turned to face this direction, a woman below us passed out after standing with her knees locked for too long. Luckily her neighboring nudies caught her before she fell off the balcony. She obviously never took choir in high school, they teach you how to stand in high school choir so you won't pass out.
The story also shows the champagne scene, but they only get a small group of the people; really there were hundreds of us shaking champagne bottles.
That's so cool that you did that. Spencer Tunick takes amazing photos.

I did a shoot with Tunick out in the woods of Pennsylvania in late October a few years back. The weather was not like what we are having these days. Major shrinkage across the board. We were all freezing by the end of the day. Exhausting but fun.

Only you, Dan, would be remembering your time in the high school choir while standing nude amongst 500 people. Jane Ann Welch salutes you!

Wow, it is so cool that you did this. I don't think I could ever get my self-conscious self to do it but I think it would be so awesome to do!

Again, SO COOL that you did this!!!

You also made it onto the celeb blog Oh No They Didn't! Someone was there and recognized you. They had a few various pics that they'd taken somehow or another and you are in them...

I'm amazed at people who have a natural pull towards fame and notority. I'm refering to you Dan of course. It's just like women who, one after another always seem to marry the richest men. What is that? Do any of your readers have any thoughts on it for me? I'm not talking about attention whores, I'm just talking about a natural thing. Maybe it is about charisma?
