Whether Phoebe and her friends would even care to be tickled at a gathering or not, I'd LOVE the opportunity just to sit and chat with these ladies about their experiences with-- professional and otherwise-- and their feelings about, tickling.
I'd be fascinated to hear their perspective on our favorite topic, particularly in a more casual, comfortable setting such as a gathering. I'm sure they'd feel it as refreshing too, to get to know this community beyond being mercilessly tickled under the pressure of a "ticking clock."
PHOEBE: We've recently tried to get things going down here in San Diego too. So if you're ever inclined to make a little longer "road trip" with your friends, we'd more than welcome you down here with open arms, I'm sure!
