Just a quick entry - I did manage to go and see Ilya, and did get a chance to say hello. Got a picture and a signature, will be posted a bit later.
Also told him to get back on Violinist.com - he said "ah yea, one of those things" which I assume means he'd like to, when he's not so busy.

Oh and in case any guys are wondering where else they can wear their Violinist.com t-shirts - the black one looks fantastic with a suit.

I am just waiting for permission to upload the pic... there's a couple of extras, and I just want to make sure they're ok with it being up on this site. With perth being such a small town, you don't want to make any enemies... unless you're leaving for Uzbekistan next week.

It shall be up hopefully by the middle of hte week.
