Jack Black Offering Free Facials This Weekend

by Caleb on September 30, 2009

Jack Black Products at The Exceptional Man, Chicago

Just heard that Jack Black is going to be in Chicago this weekend giving complimentary Facial Sessions and Hand Massages. They’ll be at Nordstrom on Saturday and Bloomingdale’s on Sunday. And if you’re thinking it’s not manly to get a facial, think again. Your skin will be grateful, and so will the people who have to look at you.

As a bonus, you can meet Emily Dalton, co-creator and founder of Jack Black.

You have to call and reserve your spot. Space is limited.

Saturday
Nordstrom Michigan Avenue
55 E. Grand Ave.
10am – 6pm
Call 312.464.1515 x1660

Sunday
Bloomingdale’s
900 N. Michigan Ave.
11am – 6pm
Call 312.440.4460 x4528

And if you’re going to be there on Sunday, let me know, or drop me a line at my Twitter account on the day of so we can connect.
