Stephanie Miller loves a good Backrub!

Did you miss the Blue State Ball?

Stephanie Miller was on fire with her humor and charm - AND was completely wiped out at the end of the night! Thanks goodness The Great Metropolitan Backrub was on hand to send her back to L.A. fully recovered! Here she is getting settled into the comfort of our exclusive Golden Ratio massage chair. Her able practitioner, Ben Bartlein, local Minneapolis Shiatsu practitioner, was on hand (pardon the pun) with his amazing backrub skills... Steph was so relaxed we had to peel her out of the chair!

Stacey Jablonski, local Massage Therapist, along with Ben, held up for over four hours giving great backrubs to the happy throng (see our Staff Page for more info about both Ben and Stacey).

If you missed the Blue State Ball this year, make sure it is the last time you do! Over 2,000 Minnesota progressives gathered to celebrate the New Year and a new direction for our country. Food, music, celebrities and plenty of good political debate are all part of this fabulous annual celebration. We met Al Franken, Keith Ellison, Mike Cerisi, Ed Schultz... the Alfalfa Males played the entire night and were amazing to boot! We'll be back next year, so put the event on YOUR social calendar. ~ Annette
