	Australia 2005 I decided to move a large chunk off the calendar and into the archive. Hope that this tells you a bit about what I was doing for the summer of 2005. Although I plan to leave this posted indefinitely, I can't promise that it will be here forever. Most important, I probably won't update this information. As you can see, much of the time I spent in Melbourne was spent with friends, behind the horn, doing some observation, learning more about music, and eating great food. Incredible food. The best food EVER. Already I miss many friends, but I plan to head back again before long! If you've never been to Australia ... get gone!
