"Annual Dinner of the New York Society for Clinical Psychiatry", the Delmonico Hotel, 502 Park Avenue, New York City, 1966-01-13 [1:56] Andy Warhol: "The second the main course was served, the Velvets started to blast and Nico started to wail. Gerard and Edie jumped up on the stage and started dancing, and the doors flew open and Jonas Mekas and Barbara Rubin with her crew of people with camera and bright lights came storming into the room and rushing over to all the psychiatrists asking them things like: What does her vagina feel like ? Is his penis big enough ? Do you eat her out ? Why are you getting embarrassed ? You're a psychiatrist; You're not supposed to get embarrassed. ... While the crews filmed and Nico sang her Dylan song, Gerard noticed ... that Edie was trying to sing, too, but ... it was obvious she didn't have a voice." Gerard "always looked back on that night as the last time she ever went out with us in public, except for a party here and there. He thought that she'd felt upstaged that night, that she'd realized Nico was the new girl in town."
