I would, but my strap-on Yogic Flying butt pads are at the cleaners. :-) (Does anybody remember those strap-on butt pads? Now *that* was one business idea I don't think had any market other than Siddhas.) Seriously, if I weren't heading the other direction, I might just give it a try, just to see how they'd handle me at the door. I left the TM movement before there was such a thing as "dome badges." We didn't have to show you no steeeenkin' badges back during the short time I butt-bounced with the group in L.A. So I suspect my sudden appearance at the door would actually present a problem. I am a governor, actually an executive governor, because I was also a TM teacher. And at one point I was even a minor honcho in the TMO in the U.S. But I'd be willing to bet that no one would be able to find any piece of paper that proved it. I know I don't have such a piece of paper. But it's all moot anyway, because I'm about to head down to a little medieval village in the Cevennes for three weeks or so. Lookin' forward to it. It actually would never even have *occurred* to me to show up in Vlodrop until you mentioned it; I've been away from the TM movement that long. But now that you have, part of me almost wishes I could go. I mean, wouldn't it be a zoo for someone like me? I've missed out on a thousand weirdness that many people who hung in there all this time take for granted. They would just *floor* me. It would be one of the experiences of a lifetime -- a Tantric's wet dream of an adventure. But alas, I am booked up in the adventure department. I'm going to spend my time down south walking around in Cathar country, hiking from castle to castle, spending the night up at Quéribus and Montsegur and Péyreperteuse again. Look up photos of them on the Net. I will miss not getting to see the pomp and circumstance that I'm sure will be present in Vlodrop, but based on past experience I suspect I'll manage to have a few adventures of my own.
