Having landed firmly on our feet in our new home, Miss Libertines,
Interview is set to raise the bar once again with arguably our most impressive
line-up to date. Hi-teck visuals and cutting edge sounds are the order of the
month as this instalment sees two of Melbourne's finest live acts and one of
the world most promising producers take the stage for what promises to be yet
another thumper, all contained within the lush confines of Miss Libertines

Tetrameth
- an extremely original blend progressive trance. This man's music has an added
layer of technical musicality, which truly makes the end result a beast of its
own. A performer and life time musician, Tetrameth graduated with a diploma in
contemporary Jazz at the "Conservatorium of Music" on the North Coast
of NSW. In early 2006 Peter released Tetrameth's debut album
"Psychological Pyrotechnics" on Zenon Records, and since then has been
busy playing all over the world treating audiences to his fresh blend of
intelligent, psychedelic, morning goodness.

http://www.discogs.com/artist/Mr.+Peculiar
Based
in Melbourne, Australia,
Mr Peculiar has been creating electronic music for over 15 years, playing live
and travelling the world wide whilst releasing tracks on a multitude of
International compilations. Last year both his 3rd album Mind-dala and it's
follow-up, Infinite Evolution, received rave reviews and saw Mr Peculiar
touring Europe, Japan, Australian and New Zealand. Most recently he has
combined forces with Auricle aka Minja Thomas in a new project entitled
Hyperception the album is due out this year and once again will see these two
jetting of for yet another world tour.
TRANCETRIBE
SYDNEY INVADES
INTERVIEW with Scott Richardson (SYD) & Rossco (SYD)
SCOTT RICHARDSON (SYD)
Founder of Trancetribe, which has become a staple in the Australian
electronic dance music movement, Scott Richardson is a name that is synonymous
with trance in Australia.
His support and involvement with the scene has seen Scott become a respected
member of the rapid moving Electronic Music world. His on stage performances
both locally and abroad have been highly regarded, and Scott has experienced a
rapid rise to fame during the past five years. Being honored to already have
been a resident at several prolific club nights in Sydney, Australia,
plus various appearances at the most prestigiouse special events, Scott now
further's his passion for music with production and remix projects. With work
on his own record label, Trancetribe Recordings also being a primary focus for
Scott as well as his further developing the online community www.trancetribe.com,
2008 will be a very fulfilling year.
ROSSCO
(SYD)
Since
bursting onto the Newcastle
electronic music scene in early 2004, Rossco has maintained momentum in raising
his profile as one of the most innovative Trance and Techno DJs to come out of
the steel city. Energetic sets filled with slamming drums, below the belt
basslines and turntable trickery to amaze the hardest follower, Rossco delivers
on all levels.
Armed only with a record bag full of the latest and yet to be released tunes
from some of the genre’s biggest labels including Armada, Soundpiercing, Detox,
Stay up Forever, and countless more, Rossco will be again leading the way for
this season’s style: well predicted to be heavily percussion based and packed
full of screaming lead riffs and driving bass. As has been proven countless
times in the past, he will be one step ahead of the pack.
Never backing away from a challenge, Rossco has been known to throw all
conventions out the window and push the boundaries just that bit further, like
stepping up to the turntables and playing an entire set without headphones
(Transmission DJ Comp, 2006) or combining three different genres in what can
only be described as a juggling act mixing tracks on four CD turntables, spiced
up with looping and effects (Traffik Jam III, 2007).
Rossco’s supports list reads like a who’s who of Trance and Techno including:
Eddie Halliwell, Above and Beyond, Cosmic Gate, John ’00’ Fleming, Public
Domain, Alex Kidd, Matt Hardwick, Scott Bond, Scot Project, Anne Savage, John
Askew, Organ Donors, The Thrillseekers, DJ Wag, Kyau vs Albert, Christopher
Lawrence, and more at some of the worlds most respected dance events, such as:
Godskitchen, Slinky, and Trancetribe: Experience.

Melbourne’s
craziest Locals!

Bout Time For An Update! This is whats going on in my world!
Here is a recent Interview i did for Trancesound.net in london:
Interview with Ben Evans ( 10.09.2007 - 16:30 GMT UTC )
1. Hi there Ben, I`m glad You are having this exclusive
interview with us, but for people that don’t know You better, please
introduce Yourself, and what You do for living, as an artist and also
in real life too.
Ben Evans: Hi Cosmin, thank you for inviting me on your
website and for the interview. My name is Ben Evans, I have been
actively involved in the dance music industry for around 4-5 years now.
I started out as a faithful promoter and punter much like most of us
and had taken part in the trance movement in Melbourne across those
years, starting out helping with event crews and local club nights,
getting a feel for the industry and learning it ins and outs. Now I run
a party crew called Interview which is focussing on bringing some much
needed energy back into the EDM circuit in Melbourne, its primary
musical scope is Trance, Psy-Trance, Progressive and anything else
that’s got a wicked groove. In the real world so to speak I work full
time for a website called realestate.com.au as a creative coordinator
in Advertising Operations. Realestate.com.au is a website where Real
Estate agents can list their properties and use many other associated
features to benefit their business.
2. Have you had any specific feedback from well known
artists worldwide of your music, who know You better, in real life
aswell ?
Ben Evans: Not specifically, as I am still very new to the
production tip and i am focussing on building my events and Dj-ing
before I dive too far into the production training. But currently I am
putting a lot of my energy into the psychedelic realm of it all. When I
have some stuff out there I will let you know!
3. I have seen this line on Your MySpace profile: 'I
run the Interview Parties on a monthly basis and always looking for new
talent!' please tell us more about it.
Ben Evans: The Interview events that I have been running
have been my heart and soul for the last 2 years, having started at the
grassroots of the industry and building it up naturally to suit the
city, its needs and its flow and direction within, Hoping that this
structure keeps it fresh and exciting each time. You will find that a
lot of nights will start up and fade away really quickly, maybe it’s
the venues or the promoters or just the ever-changing music but that’s
one thing we want to avoid and by bringing in fresh sounds and new
artists that is a sure-fire way of keeping it on the forefront of each
genre. Luckily we never fall within any genre boundaries and we have
the flexibility to research new alternatives and sounds at each event.
4. That was a smart business move, as in advertising
Your name and so on, what’s the best or smartest business move You have
learned ?
Ben Evans: I think one of the best things I have learned
within this industry is to stay out of the bullCENSORED politics and
learn to really enjoy everything the music is and has to offer.
Jadedness is the killer within this scene and if you give anyone an
excuse to dump a whole lot of politics and bullCENSORED on you then
you’re not doing a good job of avoiding it. Advertising my name was a
good decision I thought because when I was doing the promotions prior
to starting interview I made my name known across all parts of the
scene, something people could recognise on a flyer or forum, so I
figured it would be a waste if I didn’t use my name out there as all
these people know me already.
5. Okay, so how has that affected You as an artist ?
Do you feel you have a leg up on the competition because You are also a
website founder and owner ?
Ben Evans: The Industry in Melbourne and the rest of
Australia is a very difficult industry to catch a break in, you need to
be able to offer something to the greater community to become a part of
it, In my mind I saw all these parties and events and really wanted to
be a part of them, as I quickly learned I will need to be able to bring
something to the table if I am going to make a name for myself across
the country, so instead of wasting my ideas on other nights which never
really listened I would implement them into my own project and use them
to build a crew within itself, made up of passionate musicians and
people who are truly dedicated to making something special in our city.
I think the Interview Crew is a massive leg-up to everyone involved in
it as it offers so much more than just a night out.
6. Please tell me more about the EDM scene in
Melbourne area, since I`m European, I don`t know so many things about
it, and I would be happy to find out more tho, Steve May and Joven from
Tenishia told me their side of the story, but I want to read Yours too
:)
Ben Evans: I explained it briefly above but I haven’t seen
the rest of the world so I would not be able to base it on any city I
particular, but I think it’s a really difficult but very enjoyable
city, which sort of knows what it wants but is too afraid to find it in
some circumstances. Popular culture is the pit to which most will fall
in when “going out” I think there is some great things about the scene,
especially the people involved and the music is absolutely top notch!
So many times we have been told that our music is sounding better than
the internationals for the night, which is a massive statement! Locals
such as Steve May, Mike Nichol and Blinky are providing Melbourne
clubbers with a unique style of club music. And we are very thankful
for artists like these guys who are making their imprint on the city
and the world. Local live acts and Djs are coming up with exciting new
ways to share their vibe with the crowds and its great when thrown into
a city like Melbourne and then know that your guys can really deliver
time and time again!
7. So what makes You different ? How is Your style more unique than everybody else ?
Ben Evans: I wouldn’t say it’s any more unique than anyone
else’s style but its certainly different. I like to play a mixture of
styles and always like to play music that people don’t really know or
haven’t heard before. Melbourne is a city which is bored pretty easily
so I like to keep my music fresh and different to a degree, which is
why I have ventured along the psy-trance road, as I think there is some
amazing work that producers have done and the flexibility that the
genre holds is so diverse and well kept that it fascinates me time and
time again!
8. What were some of the big differences You saw
between the electronic culture in Australia as opposed to the
electronic music culture in the world ?
Ben Evans: Unfortunately I have never been out of
Australia, I really want to someday, when the time is right. Then I
will be able to answer this question.
9. Do You think Your website, encouraged Your role as
an A&R ? Thinking that Your website though is about developing
artists though isn`t it ?
Ben Evans: Not really, it is more an information page about
upcoming acts and events that we have coming up, until the final
designs on the new page are ready. Once we have the new site up and
running it will feature articles and news about the artists involved,
biographies, video’s, music, photo galleries, and much much more. So
stay tuned for that one coming out soon!
10. Well has Your age ever been an issue for You yet ?
Ben Evans: I think it surprises people when they find out
how old I am (22) because of what I have achieved so far with the music
and the events. So far it has never been a burden to me, if I was to
find a burden it would be that I have not learnt all that I want to
learn and that will all come about as I get older anyway.
11. On 12th of October, You`ll be having an upcoming
set, for the Paul Van Dyk @ Metro - Interview Room, is that gonna be a
warm up set or afterhours ?
Ben Evans: Not too sure as yet which one it will be, as I’m
sure he will be playing for 3 or 4 hrs so somewhere amongst the night
when the set times are released we will have a better outlook on the
nights proceedings.
12. I know that You`ll be having a featured guest mix
for the DI.FM Radio - Club Damage hosted by Kuffdam & Plant',
please tell me more about the hook up with Kuffdam and his mate, Plant.
Ben Evans: I have just toured Kuffdam around Australia last
month and he loved every second of it! He is a great bloke and a
fantastic producer and Dj! He had invited me to do a featured guestmix
on his show Club Damage in September, so I am looking forward to that!
13. Are You a resident Dj of the Godskitchen events in
Melbourne ? Cause I know Steve May will have a gig, the same day, who
else is coming on 6th of October @ the Vodafone Arena ?
Ben Evans: There are quite a few great artists booked for
GodsKitchen this year, In Australia this only happens once a year so
its always a great night out! This is our first time playing under the
superbrand Godskitchen and both Steve and I are very much looking
forward to it, funny enough Steve is actually my housemate here in
Australia and I have learnt a lot from his music! The artists for this
gig are as follows: Rank 1, M.I.K.E (Push) The Thrillseekers, Richard
Durand, Alex Gaudino, Kurd Maverick, Bodyrox, Micky Slim, Mashtronic
(live), Gleave and more.
14. Do You have someone that You look at as a mentor that has instilled these values in You ? Cause we all do.
Ben Evans: Yes of course, all of my close friends. They are
my lifeline and we are learning so much as a group rather than
individually, we are always there for each other no matter what and we
always try to guide each other down the right roads. If it wasn’t for
my close friends and my sweetheart girlfriend Yael then I would not be
the person I am today and I look up to them in every respect. My Mum
and Dad were the ones who taught me the values in life and how to treat
everyone equally.
15. One of my last question, I always ask this. Have
You got anything to shout about for the TranceSound.net members and the
ones reading this exclusive interview ?
Ben Evans: If you ever find yourselves in Melbourne,
Australia and really want to party then you know where to look!
www.interview.net.au And also more importantly, if you are as
passionate and dedicated to the best in electronic music and want to
share this with some Aussies then please let me know if you are coming
to the country and would like to play, as this is very possible, also
if you are reading this and think you have what it takes to slam the
Melbourne crowd please get in touch with me via Anomyst@gmail.com.
Thankyou Cosmin! And I wish you every success with trancesound.net!
Keep on rocking!!! Much Love BEN EVANS (Interview Productions
Melbourne).

Shane Warne's Letter to Simone
Dear Simone,
I know the counsellor said we shouldn't contact each other during our
"Cooling off" period, but I couldn't wait anymore. The day you left, I swore I'd never talk to you again. But that was just the wounded little boy in me talking. Still, I never wanted to be the first one to make contact. In my fantasies, it was always you who would come crawling back to me. I guess my pride needed that. But now I see that my pride's cost me a lot of things. I’m tired of pretending I don't miss you. I don't care about looking bad anymore. I don't care who makes the first move as long as one of us does. Maybe it's time we let our hearts speak as loudly as our hurt. And this is what my heart says: "There's no one like you, Simone." I look for you in the eyes and breasts of every woman I see, but they’re not you. They're not even close.
Two weeks ago, I met this girl at Flamingos and brought her home with
Me. I don't say this to hurt you, but just to illustrate the depth of my desperation. She was young, maybe 19, with one of those perfect bodies that only youth and maybe a childhood spent ice-skating can give you. I mean, just a perfect body. Tits like you wouldn't believe and an ass that just wouldn't quit. Every man's dream, right? But as I sat on the couch being blown by this stunner, I thought, look at the stuff we've made important in our lives. It's all so superficial. What does a perfect body mean? Does it make her better in bed? Well, in this case, yes, but you see what I'm getting at. Does it make her a better person? Does she have a better heart than my moderately attractive Simone? I doubt it. And I'd never really thought of that before. I don't know, maybe I'm just growing up a little. Later, after I'd tossed her about a half a pint of throat yoghurt, I found myself thinking, "Why do I feel so drained and empty? "It wasn't just her flawless technique or her sluttish, shameless hunger, but something else. Some nagging feeling of loss. Why did it feel so incomplete? And then it hit me. It didn't feel the same because you weren't there to watch. Do you know what I mean? Nothing feels the same without you.
Jesus, Simone, I'm just going crazy without you. And everything I do just reminds me of you. Do you remember Carol, that single mum we met at the Holiday Inn lounge last year? Well, she dropped by last week with a pan of lasagne. She said she figured I wasn't eating right without a woman around. I didn't know what she meant till later, but that's not the real story. Anyway, we had a few glasses of wine and the next thing you know, we're banging away in our old bedroom. And this tart's a total monster in the sack. She's giving me everything, you know, like a real woman does when she's not hung up about her weight or her career and whether the kids can hear us. And all of a sudden, she spots that tilting mirror on your grandmother's old vanity. So she puts it on the floor and we straddle it, right, so we can watch ourselves. And it's totally hot, but it makes me sad, too. Cause I can't help thinking, "Why didn't Simone ever put the mirror on the floor? We've had this old vanity for what, 14 years, and we never used it as a sex toy."
Saturday, your sister drops by with my copy of the restraining order. I mean, Vicky's just a kid and all, but she's got a pretty good head on her shoulders and she's been a real friend to me during this painful time. She's given me lots of good advice about you and about women in general. She's pulling for us to get back together, Simone, she really is. So we're doing Jell-O shots in a hot bubble bath and talking about happier times. Here's this teenage girl with the same DNA as you and all I can do is think of how much she looked like you when you were 18. And that just about makes me cry. And then it turns out Vicky's really into the whole anal thing. That gets me to thinking about how many times I pressured you about trying it and how that probably fuelled some of the bitterness between us. But do you see how even then, when I'm thrusting inside your baby sister's cinnamon ring, all I can do is think of you. It's true, Simone. In your heart you must know it. Don't you think we could start over? Just wipe out all the grievances away and start fresh? I think we can. If you feel the same please, please, please let me know. Otherwise, can you let me know where the ****ing remote is?
Love,
Shane

Okay so i stumbled across this, absolute gold.
I say give it a go and help the guy reach his 2mill mark!
hahahaha (have a look at his website)
http://www.helpwinthisbet.com/404/
So, here's the story... I said to my girlfriend that any stupid website could get tons of hits, simply because people are bored all the time. She said that I was an idiot and couldn’t make a website that could get tons of hits if I wanted to. After a long argument (mostly centered around the fact that she called me an idiot) we made a bet:

DJ PROMO :: 100 HOURS // 1 DJ // FED SQUARE // MELBOURNE // JUNE 12th 2006
The Record.....
In 2006, DJ Promo – who has played at famous UK superclubs, including Ministry of Sound, plus a host of venues around the world – will attempt to set a new Guinness World Record for the longest DJ session in history in a stunning purpose built temporary venue in the heart of Melbourne’s busiest public space.
A stunning purpose built temporary venue in the heart of Melbourne’s busiest public space. THE VERTEX is a 5 meter high translucent pyramid, internally lit and is created exclusively for the DJ PROMO Guinness World Record attempt in June 2006.
In June 2006, DJ Promo – who has played at famous UK superclubs, including Ministry of Sound, plus a host of venues around the world – will attempt to set a new Guinness World Record for the longest DJ session in history.
The existing record of 84 hours was set in February 2005 by a British DJ, Genix. DJ Promo, also from the UK, intends to smash this by a full 16 hours – taking the record to a new total of 100 hours live, continuous mixing.
In order to successfully claim the title and set a new, official record, 35-year-old DJ Promo must adhere to the following Guinness World Record (GWR) rules and regulations:
•Vinyl discs or CDs must be played throughout the attempt
•There must be no pauses longer than ten seconds between tunes
•No premixing (ie: pre-recorded sections on CD, or mastermixes on vinyl) is allowed
•No more than two turntables may be used (a third turntable, kept in reserve, may be used in the event of mechanical failure of either of the other two turntables)
•No individual disc, and no piece of music, may be repeated within four hours
•A list of all the tunes played must be maintained
•The event must take place on stage in a club or similar venue, open to members of the public, and not in a recording studio
•A dancing audience, even if it is a single individual, must be present throughout, but no audience member may attend for more than four hours at a time
•A break of 15 minutes must be taken every eight hours
To achieve his 100-hour target, DJ Promo will spend more than four days on his feet at the decks, without sleep, playing in the region of 1500 records back-to-back. The set will incorporate all genres of house music, from jazzy vocal to tribal progressive, and a selection of his own tracks. The attempt will take place in a temporary nightclub built especially for the occasion in Federation Square, Melbourne.
The event is being staged in a bid to raise funds for two Australian charities: The Big Issue, which enables homeless people to take steps towards getting off the street; and Challenge, which supports children living with cancer and life-threatening blood disorders.
This one-off event will start at 9am on Monday June the 12th. PROMO will break the record at 9pm Thursday, June the 15th and reach the 100 hour mark at 1pm on Friday, June the 16th.
Throughout the attempt there will be all sorts of additional entertainment taking place in and around the purpose built nightclub exclusive to this event. This entertainment includes live musicians and singers, acrobats and dancers as well as flare bartending displays and sporting activities.
The whole event is FREE and there will be no smoking or consumption of alcohol on site making the attempt open to all ages.
Come down and support this one-off charity clubbing event exclusive to Melbourne.

DJ PROMO :: Conception to now. A Story about his lead up to the Guiness World Record Attempt (in June 06 Melb)
“I’m The DJ”
Chapter One: In The Beginning…
When someone asks what my favourite thing is about DJing, my answer’s always the same: playing long sets to an Up For It audience. In the past, I’ve been limited only by the audience’s lack of staying power. But now, I’m about to be let off the leash.
People always ask the same questions when they hear about my attempt to set a new Guinness World Record for the longest DJ session marathon. Before I explain the event’s evolution and ethos, allow me to answer those questions:
“How are you going to stay awake for 100 hours? What (drugs) are you taking?”
Firstly, I’ll have several months of physical, stamina and endurance training under my belt by the time I make the attempt. And as for what I’ll be “taking” (the implication being recreational drugs), the answer’s simple: nothing, zip, zilch, nada. I’m doing this completely clean, powered purely by a healthy diet, a clean and focused mind, and masses of determination.
“Why are you doing this?”
I’ll explain in greater detail later but, in the meantime, suffice to say because I can and therefore I want to.
“Are you insane?”
No, I’m not. I’m just bored. Bored of the same old same old. Bored of reading about DJs playing “exclusive” five-hour sets, as though five hours is some kind of endurance test. Bored of being booked to play one-hour sets, when it takes more than an hour to build up any meaningful momentum.
Now that we’ve got the obvious questions out of the way, allow me to tell you a little something about myself and how all this came to be.
I’m English – from London, originally – but have been living in Melbourne for just over two years. I started promoting, almost by accident, when I helped some friends throw an end-of-school party in 1986. I was 16 at the time and holding in my hands more money than I’d ever seen before. I was hooked, immediately. Making a career of it, however, was to take a little longer.
In 1993, I took a job at a record store in London. There I met artists, labels, record companies, DJs and nightclub owners. By way of logical progression, I started managing a few DJs, dabbling in production and promoting other people’s events. The thought of becoming a DJ myself, however, never even entered my head. The DJs I was working with were awesome – how could I possibly compete?
Working at the record store fanned the flames of my second addiction (movies being my first). I kept every promo record I was ever given, even though I never actually played them: I’d heard them ad nauseum at work; why would I want to hear them again at home?
In 1996 I quit the shop but, after briefly running a DJ home delivery service (delivering promo records to DJs, not DJs to people’s homes), realised I wasn’t getting as many promos as before. Like any addict, I had to get my hit. Pulling a fast one would be the easiest way: I would become a self-styled DJ, contact all the record labels I knew and ask them to send me their promos. Genius!
Simultaneously, a venue in the city asked for my help with its promotion. In the second half of 1996, I launched the now-infamous Aural Sex parties – and with them, my alter-ego: DJ Promo.
Chapter Two: In At The Deep End
To say the beginning of my DJ career was a baptism of fire would be an understatement. I’d never even mixed two records before and yet there I was, DJing for eight hours every Monday in the heart of London’s clubland. You have to learn pretty quickly in such circumstances and the first lesson I learned was that I loved it. I’d start off fairly low key but by the end of the second hour I’d be in complete control. Since that day, I’ve always preferred to DJ for more than two hours at a time. It takes me a while to find my zone but, when I do, there’s no stopping me.
Within my first 12 months as DJ Promo, I’d played all over London – including at Ministry Of Sound, which until that point had only been a pipedream. The international gigs came flooding in, as did the house parties and 12-hour sets. At the same time, I was also holding down five weekly residencies and was often behind the decks more than a dozen times a week.
Then I met Pedro G (Portugal) – and my world hasn’t been the same since. Before he burst onto the scene, the action finished with the after party and then you just went back to somebody’s place to get wasted. But Pedro and I would go back to his place and carry on mixing. We’ve always been very competitive and would battle each other every which way: on the decks, over who had the best tracks, who could do the better mix, who could try something beyond the scope of the other person, and so on.
When I was throwing parties in London, we didn’t have a different DJ every hour or so as happens here in Australia. We’d have two or three DJs for the entire night, then a lock-in, followed by an after party, then back to someone’s place to DJ some more, and then back to basement clubs in the city where we could keep the party going for as long as we wanted. We partied for days at a time. I was being given more than 100 records every week – the only way to keep things fresh when you’re playing that often.
Pedro and I often joked about breaking the Guinness World Record back then. The idea was that one of us would do it, then the other one would challenge, then we’d go head-to-head in two booths separated only by a sheet of glass.
When I moved to Australia, the idea dropped off the immediate agenda and it wasn’t until I started DJing here that I started thinking about the parties I’d left behind. I tried several times to recreate them in Melbourne – with Disconnected @ Two Floors Up, Pixelfree @ Bunker and The Drum Is God! @ TFU and Brown Alley – but somehow it was never quite the same.
Chapter Three: I Have A Dream
Having launched The Drum Is God! in 2004, I was at Beat magazine’s HQ to discuss the campaign for the event’s 2005 comeback with Ronnit Sternfein, Managing Editor. Over lunch, I told her I wanted to have a go at breaking the record. She mentioned Band In The Bubble, where Regurgitator spent an entire month recording an album inside a giant plastic box: could the concept be adapted to a DJ? We even joked about staging it in the same location, Fed Square. The seeds had been sown.
I left Beat laughing but with my brain in hyperdrive. The following few months were spent researching the existing record and how best to break it. In November 2004, I sent my application off to Guinness World Records. On December 16th came the reply: my application had been accepted. There was no turning back.
It’s been a long time since that e-mail appeared in my inbox. After a false start caused by lack of support, I put the project on a back-burner and re-launched The Drum Is God!. In my spare time, I began pulling together a formal proposal for the record attempt. It was flimsy, but it was a start.
During a jaunt back home to England in 2005, I decided it was time to give it a definite go. As soon as I touched down in Melbourne again, I stopped drinking alcohol and started detoxing my body in preparation for some sort of physical training regime. That regime commenced with an offer of sponsorship from Hunts Fitness Club, Fitzroy, in October 2005. By that stage, I’d already shed 10kg: partly from changing my diet, mostly from giving up alcohol.
The first bodies we needed official approval from were our chosen beneficiaries (The Big Issue, which helps homeless people take steps towards self-reliance; and Challenge, which supports children living with cancer) and Federation Square, where we wanted to stage the attempt. Simple though it sounds, this part of the process was actually deeply frustrating: deciding to do something like this is relatively easy, but translating it into reality involves overcoming all sorts of bureaucratic obstacles. Thankfully, all were in favour.
Tasks two and three comprised producing a rock-solid, professional event proposal and then securing public liability insurance – a process that took weeks in total. The hunt for insurance presented a conundrum we were to come across time and again: we needed public liability insurance before Fed Square could confirm a date, but we needed a confirmed date before | |
