Every bit of detail – the French film posters, the road signs, the choice of liquor, the prison lights – all served to manipulate us further

Gong in 60 Minutes

I plead; go for a Gong Bath, people. The thought of someone not gaining from this practice is simply inconceivable to me

By Mike Christensen ⋅ May 17, 2009 ⋅ One comment

So I’d got myself a date. Well done me. She was free either Friday night or Saturday morning. 10 times out of 10 you’d go for the alcohol induced end of the week soiree with the prospect of bedroom tomfoolery for afters, right?
