Nabby, even two hours of T&A couldn't get me to 
sit through another David Lynch movie. :-) I thank
you for the thought, but seriously I regret the two
hours I gave it as a favor to someone here more than
I do the hours I spent this month watching American
TV shows. At least I got paid for the latter. No
offense to your TM Hero, but he's really just an
indulgent, uninteresting filmmaker. I am convinced
that his fame is purely because of the obscurity of
his films; there is a certain element who think that
if something is obscure and hard to figure out, it's
actually saying something. I am not convinced that
Lynch has ever had anything to say.

Fortunately, my feelings about private clubs echo 
Groucho's: "I wouldn't be a member of any club that
would have me as a member." The only exception I 
have ever made to this rule ( if you forget the TMO
and the Rama trip :-) was a members-only Japanese
club in Chicago. It was Japanese-only; the only 
reason they let me become a member (it only cost me
buying an expensive bottle of whiskey to live behind
the bar for me to drink from when I visited) was 
because legally they had to. They *hated* me being
there; other than expensive hookers accompanying
the Japanese businessmen, I was the only gaijin in
the place. But I wanted to soak up the atmosphere
of the place for something I was writing that had
Japanese characters in it, so it was worth it to me.

Having lived in Paris, and gotten into pretty much
every joint I wanted to, I doubt I'd have much of a 
problem getting into Dave's Cafe Indulgencia if I
wanted to. All it usually takes is flashing my watch
at the doorman; it's recognizably rare and expensive
enough that it has opened many doors for me. 

But why do you think I *wouldn't* be accepted as a 
member of such a club, if membership is really required?
Do you think that the scanners at the door would detect
my latent Buddhistic tendencies and set off an alarm? :-)
