Hey All, CrackBerry Kevin here cutting in on Adam's post. When I read it, I just couldn't help but give Halo a call. I got a hold of Halo's owner Bob (on his BlackBerry of course!) and we put together a little promo for all of CrackBerry.com's Chicago-based / visiting members...
Be one of the first ten people to shoot me an email (kevin at crackberry.com) with the subject line "GIVE ME THE CRACKBERRY" and you will win a FREE 10 Minute "The CrackBerry" Massage at Halo's Gold Coast Location at 21 West Elm Street, Chicago. Your name will get added to their system, so you'll have a full year in which to drop by and claim your prize.
And...it turns out Bob loves this site. He's going to add a link to CrackBerry.com next to the "The CrackBerry" massage on the Halo Spa Services page of their website. Thanks Bob! Kevin out.. back to Adam..

Chicago's Perfect Gift.... "The CrackBerry" Massage
I was fortunate enough to be one of the lucky responders. What a great ide! Thanks Bob from Halo and thanks Kevin!
One question though - do I have to put down my Blackberry during the massage? That could be tough!
To answer your question, HELL NO! The massage takes place in a massage chair and your head sits in a cradle, kind of like a donut and you have full motion of your hands and viewing capabilities! I have to take credit as I was the inspiration. Blackberry and I never part ways! I refer to it as a person and not an phone.
Bob, you are a true crackberry addict and a credit to Crackberry.com and crackberry addicts everywhere! I'm looking forward to my Crackberry Massage - I think I'll e-mail Kevin from the chair and let him know what he's missing not being in Chicago!
