Playboy Spring Break Update Numero Dos

With Playboy Spring Break 2008 less than two weeks away, it is now crunch time. I've been working overtime to get all of the final details squared away. I have some important items on my to-do list such as acquiring a super soaker and fake tanning my pale body. But there really is a lot of planning and execution involved with our Playboy Spring Break events. Each week, we have a total of 4 evening events and 3 day events. You need an all-star crew to ensure success, so let me introduce you to the cast of characters:

Playboy Spring Break 2008 Staff
Playboy Spring Break Staff from L to R: Chris Duncan, Lisa Kolodny, Charlie Romano, Chip Ross

Lisa "K-os" Kolodny: By our powers combined, we are COLLEGE MARKETING! To put it in laymen's terms, we do a shitload of work for Playboy. Pretty much anything that relates to a person that is old enough to look at Playboy but not actually old is our responsibility. We destroyed at CollegeFest and I suspect Spring Break will be more of the same. Lisa is pretty talented, but I think her disadvantage of having significantly less body weight will hurt her in the tequila drinking department. Plus, I've been training. You should check out Lisa's blog The Dirtay Thirtay.

Mr. Charlie Romano: Charlie is like the 6-inches-taller, skinnier, friendlier, and more patient version of me. He's more than the college marketing intern, he's the Official Chris Duncan apprentice. Soon, I will pass on the lessons of being a cranky, impatient fuck to him. For now, he is assigned all of the work that I don't want to do. Kidding. Charlie handles much of the nitty gritty that goes into our main events like CollegeFest, Super Saturday Night, and Spring Break. His idea for the proposal to Fox was good enough to get us a sponsor (Hitman DVD). He also blogs about The Rise of Charlie.

Chip Ross: I first met Chip at CollegeFest 2006. He also came to Cabo last year for Playboy Spring Break as well. Chip is in charge of a little site called Playboy U. He'll be handling the video content that will go up on Playboy U and also making sure that the bands are sufficiently drunk. That's a joke... they won't need our help getting drunk.

Rocky "Rawdog" Rakovic: Rocky is the artsy, effeminate version of me. Not really. He's the badass editorial staffer that actually at least pretends to like marketing (thanks for putting my Mark Frazier interview on the Playboy Blog, buddy). We appreciate that. The Rawdog has had numerous pieces published in Playboy Magazine. My personal favorite is the write-up of his Brazilian wax experience in the August 2006 issue (Monica Leigh cover). At least he won't have a problem getting that done for Cabo. He'll be blogging the madness from our events.

Jimmy "The Muscle" Cambria: Jimmy is in charge of security at the New York office. He's worked pretty much every major Playboy event for the past few years. He's a former New York police office. I'm hoping that I'll get to hear more crazy cop stories this year. Jimmy will also be the person that gets me out of Mexican jail.

The Playboy Models: Oh yeah, we're bringing some girls with us too. The first week (March 8-11) we'll have Playmate Shannon James and Cyber Girls Jennifer Hurt, Amanda Hanshaw, and Megan Hauserman. Shannon is great -- she has dealt with C-Drunk/Piss Drunken and she still pretends to like me. Jennifer and Megan both have huge crushes on me (sarcasm), so we'll see how that plays out. I've never met Amanda before, but I'm pretty sure she'll fit in well. She can talk to Megan about being on Beauty and the Geek... so that works out. Week two (March 22-25) Playmate Lindsay Wagner and Cyber Girls Jillian Beyor, Aubrie Lemon, and Jessica Danielle will be making appearances. Lindsay is new to me, so I look forward to meeting her. Jillian was in Cabo last year and rebuffed my advances, so that's a lost cause. She was at CollegeFest with us last September and kicked ass. Jennifer and Aubrie also both came with us to Spring Break last year. They're also both Deal or No Deal models. I approve.

Some of my favorite people will be joining me in Can San Lucas this year. But I'm sure I'll be making a lot more friends when I'm down there... lady friends. If you're making the trip to Cabo either week, leave a comment and let us know!
