Great pic as usual WoodCore,surprised Rick didn't comment on it.The one and only time I was in that place was a basketball rewards dinner back in the leisure suit(anybody remember those)days of '76.It was a huge monstrosity of a hotel built in anticipation of gambling(as Rick so thouroughly explained on his lost NJ report on NELSAP)The place gave you a real eerie feeling.(no bunnies running around that night)Can't believe it's been over 30 years!
Hey! Sorry I missed this one, I was driving through the rain to New Hampshire when you posted this. Wow...cool.
My first and only visit to the Playboy Club I was 15, went to a boxing exhibition mid 70s. Got a comp ticket from the PR Director, great guy named Jack Prather. I wore a sportcoat, sat ringside, front row. It was bizarre...bunnies and blood everywhere. I met Muhammad Ali that night, also Chuck Wepner, who was partly inspiration for the first Rocky movie. They weren't boxing, just there for appearance money. I felt like the king of the world. I even touched a sacred bunny tail, which was supposedly some sort of criminal offense (hey, I was 15 and a real dork) Went with a bunch of old timers who smoked cigars like fiends. What a great night.
You got to meet Cassius Clay,the"Greatest",in his prime?Must have been quite a thrill,Rick.Now we have to know which was better,touchin' the bunny tail or riding with the "ski goddess" on Cloud Nine?
