In 1997 Terence McKenna graced our shores with a solo spoken-word tour hosted by my dear friend Dillon Hicks. Cruising the East coast he spoke at many venues and had many experiences. Terence was taken with the "Aussies" as he found us to be so giving and friendly. I had the opportunity to meet Terence on this tour a few times and each meeting was consistently hilarious as his infectious positivity and sense of humor always left you on a high. Dillon recorded the Wollongong University performance and it has never been released until today.
