This coming Tuesday @ 1:45 P.M. I'll be going into a sensory deprivation floatation chamber for an hour and a half. I'm so ready for this experience to happen.

Yup, sober. It'll be my 30th THC-free day, too, I am treating it as a sort of reward for not smoking pot for a month and sticking to those guns. So now the money I saved on pot can go towards this, cause (to answer jewunit's question) it's $90 for 90 minutes.

You can usually find them in a big city.
I know of at least one Chicago by my Dad's house...

I found a bunch of services around the city, but none of them was total deprivation, they werent in an enclose unit. The prices were around the same as you are paying.

I'm also very intrigued by these things. I hope they catch on so they start to pop up in my medium-sized city.

Well I'm in a great headspace in general right now...I think getting '08 off to a great start is all the preparation I needed.

Be going total deprivation route, or taking along some tunes?

What do you plan to do in there, mentally?
Meditate? Ponder? Fantasize?

I don't know...I don't have a plan...nor do I have expectations...kind of like certain trips. I'm sure I will just end up thinking about writing the whole time, then trying not to get caught up in writing the floatation experience while I am there enjoying it, and then hopefully...break through that dynamic into an empty space.
