YEW! You could have knocked this West Aussie over with a feather when he read about this. I’m there!

That’s okay, I have allergies, too. So a quick hit of antihistamine sounds good to me. I won’t dope up on Benadryl regularly … non-drowsy stuff like Claritin works better with my allergies anyway. :D

i should add - that its not advisable to take such things all the time.. will muck up ones sleep cycles… infact… best way to sleep mroe is just to do exactly that.. regular times etc… just for a plane trip probably isn’t so bad…

@Peter - coming from someone about to be registered as a doctor –> tylenol PM would be knocking you out due to the sedating antihistamine (Diphenhydramine) in it… the acetominophen in there is just for pain relief/antipyretic - i.e wont make you drowsy

so you could grab any sedating antihistamine.. i’m sure they sell that particular one as a single agent… keep in mind… i’m not registered yet (few weeks yet)… and this doesn’t constitute medical advice! no lawsuits thanks! =P

have fun

p.s. sydney is still the place to be!

Actually … that’s not true; we did have Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea in town on the same weekend a few months ago.

Woo hoo … something cool in Perth! Trust me, that’s quite an oddity (having lived here for most of my 33 years). I’ll try to make at least the Thursday event - if I do I’ll drop in and say hi.

Feel free to email me for any Perth info (I presume you can pull my email address out of the forum system).

Oh, yes, and I hope this will be my *first* trip to Australia, not my last. In fact, if anyone has any good tips on knocking yourself out (Tylenol PM is my current choice), I’m happy to do it regularly. :)

So, Sydney / Melbourne are high on the list for my next trip.

But North America is all pretty easy to get to, of course, so hope I’ll be doing that more.

Hmmm, and Perth and BC are a short 9000 miles from one another. ;)

But yes, I’d definitely be up for continuing the world tour. I’d love to come for next year’s New Forms Festival! Been to Victoria / Vancouver and love the area, as well. How to set it up … basically, contact me, peter (at) create digital music.

As someone from Vancouver, BC I second that!

I’d be happy to help set up something on this end. Perhaps as part of the NewForms Festival we do here: http://www.newformsfestival.com

Peter - How does one go about setting something like this up?
