Anyone had a visit with Max the Crystal Skull?

In case you don't read the blogs, I'll post this here too about my upcoming visit with Max.

Last month I heard a radio show about Max, a crystal skull whose origins are unknown but seems to provide spiritual experiences for people. He "lives" in Houston, but travels all over the country where people pay $50 and up to spend time alone with him I emailed JoAnn, his owner, to see if I could set up an appointment in Houston where I go to visit my parents each spring. She replied back that she wasn't doing Houston appointments, but asked where I lived. I hadn't responded back to her yet, because I live in the middle of nowhere and no way Max was coming here.

I had read this blog recently about seeing Max: http://marlafrees.blogspot.com/2008/08/to-max.html

"I had interviewed for the web cast show Dreamland, the authors of “Mystery of the Crystal Skulls” and I kept being pulled to the story of Max, the new "Indiana Jones" movie paled in comparison to the folklore surrounding some of these skulls, so I set myself on “interviewing Max”. I nervously laughed, thinking that I was actually hearing from this skull. If talking to dead folks isn’t strange enough, I believed I was hearing from Max, beckoning me for a clandestine tryst.

I thought I might have to take a trip to Texas where he lives with his keeper JoAnn Parks,but no, Max was too kind, he decided to come near me, and I started to get emails from friends of Max’s telling me and where to find him. I was in my kitchen, cooking a nice turkey spaghetti sauce when I heard the way I do in my head, "Go to the computer and you will have a message from one of my friends telling you where I will be." And there it was, a lovely note from a woman saying Max will be in Santa Monica, a mere 25 miles from me."

So this morning, I get to work and an email is waiting for me (not from JoAnn or anyone I know, just a broadcast email at my workplace) saying that Max will be in a nearby town, in the middle of nowhere, in September! Very sweet of Max to come to see me!

(For all you skeptics, I am paying $65 for a half hour with Max. I could easily spend more than that on a massage, dinner or tickets to a sporting event. Worth it, for entertainment value alone!)

Anyone else had a "Max" experience?
