..cuz if it's not Iboga pah-tee, then it's not a good pah-tee; yah? :-)

some quick questions about travel and parties...

Emok, Phony Orphants, and Freq will be playing at Earthcore this year. It's three days outdoors about two hours outside Melbourne, Australia. Nov 25 and 27. Does anyone on this list - who lives in the US or otherwise - plan on attending? And, if so (and here is the big question) do you have ANY info like websites, phone calls, companies, etc about how its possible to get "cheap" tickets to Australia? I've found that going out of LAX is the best way (shortest and "cheapest" flight) - but in *days* of searching, the best I've found has been 1140 USD RT... (way out of my league). Can anyone direct me where to beat that price?

Also, I'm sure everyone is aware, but if not, consider this an open invitation! Antix will be playing live (so will Jaia and Gavin of Digital Structures) at the fourth annual GAIAN MIND FESTIVAL in Central Pennsylvannia next month (June 24-27). I can tell you this is one of THE BEST outdoor festivals that the East Coast has to offer and if you can get the vacation time and flight out (a mere ninety minutes via rented car from BWI), I'd highly reccommend it!!

Lastly, has anyone heard any lineup changes and/or timeslots for the Rythms of Peace festival in Morrocco this August? As if live sets from Son Kite and Atmos; and DJ sets from Marcus, Gavin, and Peter Didgital weren't enough - there has been mention of possibly having Antix and Freq there as well... ANy info? Does anyone have plans to possibly go?
