Conde Nast Media Group Gets Down With 'Nature'

Whoever said, "Location, location, location" wasn't just whistling Dixie. We sipped Veuve Clicquot and watched the Central Park Zoo sea lions pose for cameras that were aimed at guests of the Nature event last night (June 30). Hosted by Toyota and Thirteen/WNET New York, the Condé Nast Media Group-sponsored soiree (set in the lush and florid zoo with effortless elegance) was all in the name of Thirteen/WNET New York's Nature film, "American Eagle."

Cradled by bamboo chairs, we let celebrated filmmaker Neil Rettig walk us through his eagle footage and it was clear that he was still smitten with his subject matter, which made his account of the filming process a joy to share. The special guest of the evening was Grethen Mol, who most recently appeared in the film 3:10 to Yuma. The amazing band featured in the film, One eskimO, filled the garden with soothing melodies as we reflected on the joyful images filmed of that great icon of our freedom on the cusp of Independence Day (the American bald eagle).

We¹ve said it before: Condé Nast throws the best parties, but's truly amazing what they can do on a Monday with a couple of sea lions and some Veuve!
