PERKS: Your Night At Nellcôte

UPDATES, Y'ALL:

Here are the winners, you lucky dogs:

Really wish we had more to go around...but keep at it. The giveaways are a-plenty around here.

Readers, oh readers.

We've got some intel for you, but we have to be quick about it. Here's the downlow: There's a major new restaurant opening Chicago. It's called Nellcôte, and it's based on the French villa of the same name that the Rolling Stones leased for a summer in 1971. They recorded "Exile on Main St." in the basement.

The idea behind this restaurant has got some heft: On a nightly basis they intend to recreate the infamous house party the Stones threw for "a veritable checklist of rock ‘n’ royalty including artists, style icons, deviants, socialites and creative misfits."

If you haven't heard about this operation already, you will soon.

The thing is, it's not open yet. We can get you in. Word has it, Jared Van Camp and the boys are throwing a special preview on Tuesday. Here's what we know:

Chicago, IL 60607

All you have to do is scuba dive up the Chicago River, find a way through the underwater tunnels, unzip your wet suit, brush off the tux you had on the whole time, and enjoy the party. Alright, alright it's way simpler than that.
