Thanks to all for your ideas. I thought about using black gaffer tape (the good stuff), but wondered if anyone had come up with another solution. I like Doug Graham's idea of the rubber band. Seems like it would be secure and easily removeable. I was at the the World Record Wedding Video Event in Sacramento yesterday, and noticed David Robbin was using an ME66 on a Z1U while shooting the bridal prep. I asked about him it later and he said he wrapped the mic with velcro, the wooly part. Might give that a try, too.
BTW, I though the WRWVE was a great experience, in contrast to the generally negative comments posted on VU. Met a lot of great people and the commaraderie among the videographers was remarkable. The event was well organized and well run. I watched David Robbin and Dave Williams perform with great fascination and the "matrix effect" dove release was a kick. The wedding guests where somewhat in awe of the plethora of cameras as they arrived, but never took notice of us once they were seated and the ceremony got under way. At the end of the evening, the bridal couple (delightful people) laughed and cried (and cried!) as they watched the von Lanken's SDE. Contrary to the expectations of many, this event certainly did the profession no harm, and quite possibly did us a lot good. Kudos to the Sacramento PVA and, yes, WEVA.

ps. They even fed us well, with an upscale box lunch and a nice evening buffet.
