My best friend and I have taken a lot of crazy classes and attended some wacky events over the course of the last 15 years. Among them were fencing, a gong bath, tantric yoga (not at all dirty, so get your minds out of the gutter!) and white water rafting in Illinois (WHO KNEW?) One of the main reasons we tried all of these things was, “Why Not?” What if there was a sudden piracy threat on Lake Michigan? Our sword handling skills would be better than the average Chicago hipster. And a gong bath? Have you ever lain on the floor in a room with someone clanging a huge gong for an hour? Well, up until that experience I had not, and could think of no reason NOT TO.
