Mazel-tov, congratulations! Overseas is a big deal for any artist, no matter which direction. I've never been to Oregon but I have played in Philly. I'm sure you will hear a lot of people talking about the "philly cheese-stake sandwich," which is more like a hoagie or submarine then a panini. It's good, if you like meat with cheese. Since you are into faries, I recommend you visit Haverford. It is a very prestigious Mormon university in Philly, so all the buildings are old-style construction with tons of stone. Even the landscape is like a dreamy Snow White Castle (no tall buildings but I think you get the idea?). Anyway I'm sure the students there would love to hear your music, but more importantly I think you'd enjoy it as a tourist. If you have time for tourism during your trip. They also have their own radio station, so there you go! College exposure! It's a great market for any artist, right? smile

There are plenty of "American" things to see too, in Philly, if you're into that. ~Nick
