Although I have met a lot of folks from around the world, I have not traveled much..

Putting yourself into your routines is a wise choice.(it is what you know most)

Re:my last trip to China...My trips are most likely to Walmart, Home Depot or the gas station....

Hope to make a trip to our local ring 129...as I haven't made it there in a while.

What about playing an aging hippie, stoned and surprising himself at the various miracles that happen at his fingertips?

I've thought that it could be humorous, although the market for such an act would likely be very small.

Haha, would go over well in northern California and Vancouver, Canada

I've actually thought about using some of that in my drunk act, I keep surprising myself. I had originally thought about doing the act as a homeless bum who drinks too much but can do magic.

Hey Michael. Another serious aspect is what do you do when the lecturer/performer shows up stoned, drunk, or high? Let me count the times.........

As has been stated often on this thread: its how you behave, not whats inside you.
Take the Netherlands, where I am from, for example, where pot is de facto legal, and compare it to Uncle Sam where some 800 000 souls languish in jail on POSSESSION ( admittedly not all pot)charges. If someone wants to inhale before a meeting, not reek of the **** or light up anywhere on the premises its OK by me.

Now did I tell you about a very high profile dude in the community whose nostrils could only be described as a vacuum cleaner?

Remove someone for being a nuisance? I imagine most clubs would lose 20 percent of their members.
