Coachella Wrap-Up: Scenes from the Anthem Party
By J. Everette Perry
There are more photos in this gallery. View them all.
The most legit party at Coachella was the Anthem party. Not only did they have a huge pool filled to the brim with people, a who's who of music industry heavyweights, but the party was an injection of adrenaline that gave me the perfect buzz right before going to see M.I.A. and Prince. The crowd was decked out to the nines: Bold stripes, vivid colors, high wasted shorts, shiny metallic fabric, sexy scarves and denim cut-offs. Everyone was rocking styles and starting trends without even trying.

The $15,000 Concert
By PAPERMAG Editors
Here's a report from your special correspondent Gary Pini....
While you're sitting on scalding concrete at the Siren Festival this summer or waiting in line to hear your favorite DJ at PS1, pause for a minute and close your eyes. Imagine what suffering the unfortunate music fan in the Hamptons is going through. No Ruff Club, no Panty Party, no Mr. Black and barely a live venue in sight. But Wait! The $15,000 per person concert series is coming to save the day . The line-up includes Prince, Billy Joel (at least he won't have drive far), Tom Petty, James Taylor and Dave Mathews. We are falling asleep just thinking about it. And to be sure that you get your money's worth, the promoters (Bulldog Entertainment) promise more perks than the artists' dressing rooms: valet parking, celebrity chefs and even Moroccan pillows. Yes, we make fun now, but in 2037 we'll be first in line for the $150,000 tickets to see the Battles, CSS, Klaxons, Feist and Bonde do Role.
