Dear All,<br>
Occasionally things on this list pique my interest. The recent
discussion of <i>Credenda/Agenda</i>’s Trinity Festival is one such
thing. As I am currently involved in planning the Festival, I was at
first thrilled to discover (in Saundra’s post) that the UI would only
be charging us a little over six grand for all of our Kibbie use. This
was fantastic news, as we had budgeted far more. But then I rechecked
my notes and thumped back down to Earth. The six thousand Saundra
discovered was actually a fee we paid to the University so they would
overlook our use of barking seals (the Shriner’s pay a similar fee).
Seriously, our actual costs are much higher than six thousand. In fact,
as a little hint, the amount we pay at the end of our Festival will
most likely be a multiple of the figure Saundra mentioned.<br>
As to insinuations and accusations that we are exploiting inside
connections to get special treatment, I’m going to go ahead and admit
that earlier this week I met with chief grounds keepers and janitors
behind the PEB, and we all poked our thumbs and became blood brothers. <br>
Of course, while I don’t intend to post again on this subject, if
any of you have real questions about the upcoming Trinity Fest (within
a mathematically stable universe) I would be happy to do what I can for
you offlist. For the rest of you, please feel free to endear yourselves
to the UI with questions about curved space and quantum fees, and don’t
forget to line your hats with tinfoil to protect your thoughts. My dad
just got an FSR upgrade. Cheers.<br>

P.S. I’ve consulted with my legal team and unfortunately they don’t
think the University will consider Saundra’s post a binding
contract. <br>
