Coachella has already come and gone but there are plenty of other summer festivals. For those of us somewhere between the all-night party and the early-bird special, these concerts form a particular problem. How can you still enjoy yourself without feeling old and exhausted. The best way is to go VIP. If you are interested in attending the
famous Lollapalooza in Chicago this summer, August 1-3, the
James Hotel makes it easy. Their VIP package includes a guestroom at The James and two VIP tickets to Lollapalooza which lets you skip out on all the heat and lounge in the shade at the LollaLounge which has lounge seating, a private viewing platform, lunch and dinner buffets, refreshments and the all-important air-conditioned restrooms. The James will even drive you their in a private car, give you a choice of one of the headliner's CDs (Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, Kanye West, Nine Inch Nails, Wilco, The Raconteurs), and offer you a continental breakfast each morning. The three-day package starts at t $2,299 (a cheaper package with general admission tickets is $1.099).
