A Partier's Guide to the Playboy Bash

I took a job at Playboy for the articles. No, I mean it. I remember first learning about Playboy’s groundbreaking writing in journalism classes at IU. Jack Kerouac, Roald Dahl, Norman Mailer, Shel Silverstein, and Indy’s own Kurt Vonnegut contributed pieces in the magazine’s heyday of the 1950s.

Rolling Stone Party Details

About to plunk down a grand for a ticket to the Rolling Stone Super Bowl party on February 4? The mag’s first-ever Super Bowl bash could be a concert worth every penny—and we’ll know more tomorrow, when the host expects to announce the night’s musical lineup. A publicist for Bacardi, the party’s sponsor, told Super City that three or four acts should rock The Crane Bay, a former industrial building remodeled into a new and intimate event space near Lucas Oil Stadium.

All celebrities who will be in town for the game have been invited, and perhaps Thursday’s announcement about the concert lineup will provide some hints about who’s likely to be downing some daiquiris and boogeying in the Bay. Stay tuned…
