Parties You Will Never Get Into

Audi opened the annual New York International Auto Show by sponsoring a private concert of the indie band She and Him. A crowd composed of executives, journalists and celebrities headed to the Audi Forum in New York City on March 31, 2010 to celebrate with the carmaker.

She and Him, composed of singer-actress Zooey Deschanel (500 Days of Summer, The Happening) and musician M. Ward, entertained guests with a nine-song set. Fresh off the release of their sophomore album, the duo sung “I Was Made For You,” “In The Sun,” “Black Hole,” “This is Not A Test,” “Ridin’ In My Car,” “Sweet Darlin’,” “Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?,” and “Magic Trick.” The band also performed a cover of Chuck Berry’s “Roll Over Beethoven.”

Partygoers included 30 Rock actress Jane Krakowski and Ryland Blackinton and Gabe Saporta of Cobra Starship. Models Jessica Hart and Tyson Beckford, as well as pro poker star, Beth Shak, also went to the party.

Served with champagne cocktails, guests circled around the latest Audi offerings as DJ Harley Viera-Newton spun tunes from her booth. Models flaunted at this year’s show included the revered Audi R8 Spyder and the upcoming 2011 A8.

Audi’s 2010 car show was produced by MKG.
