Folks,
	I've heard back from Karen, Billo, and Lucy (decline), but no one else. I'd very much like to book this at around noon today, so I'd love to hear if anyone else would like to join us! It's definitely a very nice way to relax, and again it's my treat!

	I'm thinking of scheduling it around 7:30 or 8pm tonight....

	- Jim

It takes place with you clothed (except for your feet) sitting in a recliner in a room with several other recliners. When you arrive, you're offered a drink, and each person has a dedicated masseuse. They then bring a nice hot tub of water for you to soak your feet while they massage your neck and shoulders.  They then start a very thorough and relaxing massage of your feet and calves. All this takes about 90 minutes.
