Lightbulb Has Jay or Phil ever thought of coming to the UK

As excellent debunkers of the Moon Hoax and other things, it would be nice if Phil and Jay could come over and do a few talks around the UK. It seems the only lectures we hear Phil of doing is in the US.

Has Jay ever been on the lecture circuit?

Yeah, flying around the globe ain't cheap, and it takes a lot of time. I've had some people in the UK and other places express interest, but it's hard to come up with the $4-5k needed (flight+hotel+everything else). I'm happy to travel anywhere, just about, though!

I'll give you $500* to come out to my place. Your assignment wil be to deprogram my one friend who is still convinced about Planet X (and the Kokomo Hum). While you're here you could maybe also talk to my brother about the whole Illuminati/Knight Templar/Freemasons thing.

*That's on top of all you can eat, drink, and dance for a 3 or 4 day weekend.

Farmer,

For a while, before it became obvious that Nancy is psychotic rather
than merely a kook, someone in Wisconsin near the Twin Cities and I
were starting to discuss visiting her in North Freedom. I don't think
either of us had any hope of deprogramming her, though.
