So you’re not lucky enough to be on your way to Indio, Calif., to witness the killer lineup for this year’s Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival. Why not recreate the experience at home?
First invite 50 of your closest friends over. It doesn’t matter if 50 people won’t fit into your living room, that’s the point. (Oh, make sure to tell them not to shower first.)
Next crank up your heat to about 98 degrees and charge everyone $10 a bottle for water.
Now turn on your digital TV, crank up the surround sound and tune into acts like Plain White T’s, Franz Ferdinand, Ben Harper & Relentless 7 or Van Morrison.
Voila! Instant music festival!
