It is Oct 19th. I was previously invited to give a \nmajor lecture in Heidelberg Oct 14 but they had to cancel it after the university determination re australia was \npublicized by the bitch. That air ticket, which they had paid fo, was about 5250 euros. There is a $900 \ncancellation fee, and they have agreed to let me keep the ticket if I pay them 4500 euros. I offered that to the \nother place but they only have $5K USD total, which includes the $4K fee they originally offered me. I am \ngoing to check other tickets now, but wanted to know if you might be flying to europe around then and could \ntake a hitchhiker. :)"}, {"sender": "Jakob Kollhofer", "recipients": ["Lawrence Krauss"], "timestamp": "August 29, 2018 at 4:49:53 AM PDT", "subject": "Re: October 19, Heidelberg", "body": "Hi Lawrence, \njust back from a long tour ,,on origins\". \nAs promised you will get my message promptly. \nAs you may understand, before we start recruiting for the Festival our budget \nimplies more freedom. Now I simply do not have the flexibility to decide so easily \non amounts in „kilos\". (especially as a prominent Nobel laureate shortly before \ndeadline agreed to come and implied a pretty large sum). \nWhat I can offer you is 5k as a lump sum. This is the ultimate at the moment. \nI deeply regret these limitations but I cannot ignore redlines. \nSo please let me know if you can or cannot come."}, {"sender": "Lawrence Krauss", "recipients": ["Jakob Kollhofer"], "timestamp": "Am 26.08.2018 um 22:04", "subject": "Re: October 19, Heidelberg", "body": "Hi.. update.. noam cannot do anything anyway.. nor UK that week.. So, I have been able confirm I can get the \nticket for the discounted amount of 4500 Euros.. Are you game with my proposal?

I could check for a discount \nticket of course.. and maybe even economy class... There is also a small chance that I might do the event in UK \nwith Noam Chomsky, and I am wondering whether, if I could convince him to join me in a dialogue at your \nplace whether that might change the dynamics of the event for you, and free up some more money perhaps.."}, {"sender": "Jakob Kollhofer", "recipients": ["Lawrence Krauss"], "timestamp": "Aug 17, 2018, at 9:18 AM", "subject": "Re: October 19, Heidelberg", "body": "Hi Lawrence \nyour mail meets me on the way out to a week abroad. \nI need my financial colleague to decide.

The Gottingen event had to be cancelled so that means I now do not have an air ticket to Germany.

In the meantime I \nthought I should let you know and ask whether it is possible to cover part or all of the cost for a ticket."}, {"sender": "Jakob Kollhofer", "recipients": ["Lawrence Krauss"], "timestamp": "Jun 19, 2018, at 5:52 AM", "subject": "Re: October 19, Heidelberg", "body": "Dear Lawrence \nmy colleague is waiting for two sentences on your planned topic... \nCould you save him?..."}, {"sender": "Lawrence Krauss", "recipients": ["Jakob Kollhofer"], "timestamp": "Am 07.06.2018 um 17:40", "subject": "Re: October 19, Heidelberg", "body": "Will do."}, {"sender": "Jakob Kollhofer", "recipients": ["Lawrence Krauss"], "timestamp": "Jun 7, 2018, at 1:04 AM", "subject": "Re: October 19, Heidelberg", "body": "Hi Lawrence, \nI think we take Journey to the Beginning of Time. \nCould you write two sentences for my colleague to \nmake clear where your talk will go for.. \nThis may well lay the groundwork for next year's major focus \non ORIGINES. \nI do look forward to having you here again! \nP.S cc Michael!"}, {"sender": "Lawrence Krauss", "recipients": ["Jakob Kollhofer"], "timestamp": "Am 06.06.2018 um 19:13", "subject": "Re: October 19, Heidelberg", "body": "Hi..
