Monday and Tuesday, September 9 and 10, 7 - 9 PM. Wouldn't it be great to have an extra hand? One for holding your cellphone, one for taking notes, one for buttoning your shirt, so you could do all of those things at once? Imagine how much more productive and happy you'd be if you had three hands -- or even four. Well you can. Come to this two day course and you'll learn to use your feet, especially toes, to hold and manipulate objects, just like monkeys, otters and other animals. This is a great skill to have, particularly in the summer when many of us don't wear socks. With two extra hands you'll be able to multitask like crazy. Location: Jim's Gym, at P and 23rd Streets, NW. There's actually no gym there, because this is the weekly fake event.
