Sea Ray Living's take on Chicago's Playpen

[rktktpaul]

I don't know if anyone's had a chance to read the latest issue yet, but I read with great interest about the couple who partake in the Playpen with their Sea Ray. I really enjoyed how the article made it sound like a fun, family type of affair.

I think this New York Times article is much closer to what it's really like:

Yup, I'll be there with my 7, 10 and 13 year old boys!! :smt009

Have you ever seen on the "E" network the "WILD ON..." series ?
the playpen parties are a combo of "Wild on Cancun" meets "Girls Gone Wild",
they are still milder than the "JOBBIE NOONER" parties on Lake St.Clair!

I've only caught that show once late at night; didn't it feature the adventures of Tara Reid?

I had to do a doubletake at the picture in the NYT story; I thought the girl in the yellow bikini top was Ashley Alexandra Dupre, former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's girl!!

Why have I never heard of this party?

Is this like a time-frame'd thing... or does it happen every weekend in the summer?

(Guess now i have reason to burn some gas heading over to Chicago!)

Don't know your fuel burn, but I was there first weekend in Oct last year and went through $300 worth of fuel there and back at optimum speed.

OK still worth it!!!!!!
