- Your _personal_ money?!?? NO WAY! I do remember the one or two negative
- things about Norway - the 50-70% income taxes (even more confiscatory
- than the US!). (BTW, Kelly Freas - WIZARD's poster artist - actually KNEW
- the woman who created the first US 1040 income tax form, back in 1913.
- And that's Another Story...) I can't accept private donations. But...
- There's the Hollywood Solution: OPM (ie - "other peoples' money").
-
- There are several festivals occurring in Scandinavia, around the same
- time. I believe the Norwegian Filmfest is being held in Haugesund (only
- a few inches from Bergen, on this map)(about 6cm) - though I heard the
- Festival Director, Gunnar Lovvik, is difficult to reach, and is only
- interested in *Famous (and expensive) $tars*. The Norway National Sci-Fi
- Con is in Oslo, August 6th (93) - I had a great time in 1991, and met you
- guys, and remet Larry Niven (-hey, did Johannes & Heidi & Kjetil ever nab
- the con-thief?). And the Swedish National Sci-Fi Con in Stockholm, is
- just a week later, on the 14th. And Helsinki's National Con on the 13th.
- (...mm, the Gulf doesn't look too wide, maybe if I wear the Wiz-shoes,
- and run *real fast*...)
-
- Anyway, SAS roundtrip split 3 ways (or more) would be a gentler and
- kinder manner of reducing expenses.

- Ooowow, watch out!
- Hope you got Official Authorization from _The_ *KIBO*..!
- His Eyes are _everywhere_ on the NewsNet, y'know!
