Fundraiser: Bring The Skiffy and Fanty Show and the World SF Tour to Worldcon in London!

/

Worldcon is coming!  I want to bring The Skiffy and Fanty Show and the World SF Tour there this August.  And I need your help raising the funds to travel to London to make this happen! What is the World SF Tour? Throughout 2014, The Skiffy and Fanty Show will focus much of its attention on science fiction and fantasy works from places outside of the United States.  This will consist of interviews, movie discussions, the occasional Torture Cinema special, and discussions of World SF w/ locals.  It’s a fairly large project, but it’s one I think is worthwhile.  Additional details about the project can be found here. What I’m Going to Do:
