I've heard of staycations and man caves, but mancation is new to my vocabulary. The Illinois Office of Tourism partnered with Chicago Legend Bill Kurtis to encourage men to explore the manly side of Illinois without visiting a baseball stadium. By the looks of "Man Wisdom with Bill Kurtis," Illinois has a lot to offer men, aside from a baseball game and 18 holes of golf. Men can race stock cars on a NASCAR track, take a brewery tour, bet on horses, or visit the casinos. This mancation sounds like fun. Sign me up! Kurtis continues by showing men their ticket to freedom: an erotic novel read by wives in a monthly book club gathering. "For every book club she gets with the ladies, you get a mancation with the guys." See it here, created by JWT Chicago.
