Carlos,
I would have gladly attended--as would my wife--she is in love with your
country. Unfortunately the details of the event were pulled together too
late for me to get funding from my state's art board. I could have
received a stipend large enough to pay my airfare and some expenses. The
deadline passed long ago and without those funds, I am unable to make the
journey. Instead, I will set my sites on Santa Fe in1999. About six
months ago I had requested information on APIS 1997 so I could get the
funding applications started and there was none forthcoming. I believe,
as someone recently suggested, that we should have some type of committee
to oversee the yearly event--it will give some stability to the event and
will help spread some of the work around. Also, it will help foster a
greater awareness of this loosely banded group of alt people as some type
of organization and will give it some standing in the eyes of funding
organizations.

Until next year,
David Kern
