Chicago Auto Show's 1st Look For Charity

Last year (December 2007, that is), I received an invitation to attend Chicago Auto Show's February 2008 1st Look For Charity. I don't recall ever receiving such an invitation before, so I'm not sure why I received this one....

At any rate, has anyone else received an invitation and thinking about or planning to attend this event? The cost is $225 a ticket ... kinda steep, but with all of the different charities that benefit, I'd say every penny is worth it....

I'm not sure yet if I will attend....

So they want you to pay the $225 to attend? Maybe that's wht they want you there??????????

Space, did I read it right you're having a swinger's party?

Here's a young couple that's "In to" swinging.
(from the looks of things........ the girl's mother approves her daughter's a swinger)
