Wanna Party?

This will put a dent in the entertainment budget.

A half-mil will buy you an "Entourage" New Year, which will indulge four friends in a nonstop 24-hour party, flying them from anywhere in the United States on a personal jet to Van Nuys, Calif. The package includes lunch at Koi, personal shopping at Barneys, the penthouse suite of the Roosevelt Hotel, white-gold watches from Cartier and an all-night private lounge at West Hollywood's Pearl.

Woo-hoo! Four friends, Van Nuys, West Hollywood! All for $500,000! It's a blow-out!

More reasonably priced is dinner, dancing and breakfast with the best view in the city at the Rainbow Room. It's economy priced at $1,600 per person. It's black tie. Don't forget.

But that's hoity-toity New York. Here in the dialup frontier, I expect to greet the New Year for under ten bucks.
