yesterday some of the dlf.tv student affiliates got the chance to go up onstage and ask david some of our own questions. i was sooo nervous asking the question, especially since we in front of a small audience. i even forgot to pass him the mic after i asked my first question! i just sat there with in it my hand patiently waiting when he timidly leaned forward to take it from me, and everyone laughed (kindly). i ended up asking him two; the first one asking how he felt about all the amazing support he's received for dlf.tv and the progress being made (if you're interested about what i mean by support/progress you should check out all the cool stuff they're accomplishing at the dlf.tv website. you'll also be able to view videos of the david lynch weekend soon, maybe even be able to see making a fool of myself, haha). the second one involves his recent book, Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness, and Creativity. if you've read it, you'll know the chapter "The Box and the Key." i asked him if he could elaborate on it a bit.
"no, i cannot," he said. the second photo is right after i asked the box and the key question, erin skipper, david lynch, and me all laughing at the small joke. two great photos by roberto farruggio!

i basically had one of the most amazing weekends ever. people throw around the word "life changing" but i'm pretty serious about using it now.

a few highlights include:
-meeting david lynch, shaking hands with him, getting to ask him questions, taking a picture with him, etc
-getting to hear david lynch, bob roth (vice president of DLF.TV), dr. john hagelin, mario orsatti and many others speak on the benefits of transcendental meditation
-learning more about dlf.tv and what the movement is all about
-getting to meet tons of awesome people from all over
-hanging out with my family for a night
-seeing my awesome friend amy
-making lots of new friends
-seeing my printed tshirt
-meeting all the incredible staff at dlf.tv
-hearing david compare TM to an orgasm, say "no no no no"
-me being so nervous while asking him a question that i forgot to give the mic back
-looking to the future

i sound like a commercial for david lynch foundations tv, but i really did have an amazing weekend and i can't wait to be more involved. words can't really even describe how i feel right now.
