Erik, I called Bartek and asked him few simple questions about this individual. He is around 50-60 years old and is primarily interested in dutch aquascape. Why he wants to come and see Amano and Jan, Bartek has no idea. He is somehow "known" in polish aquarium hobby, so he is legit. Is he trying to "push" his Video project through AGA convention? Maybe If AGA is interested in extending invitation, you have a green light.

I suppose that there must have been a misunderstanding because I would not even think about AGA as a sponsor. I am not sure if I can come not because of your sponsorship but the money I will find here in Poland as it is not so cheap to go to the USA.It will take a while for me to find find an interested company that would help me take part in the conference. There is one more thing, very important, I would like to say and especially ask for. I really want to see all the 'gedeners' that's why I need a formal invitation including the name, the date of the conference to get my visa here in Poland to get into your country. As for other requests, I am asking also for taking care of me in Washington as it is quite a big city and it may be difficult for me to move around.I will feel much safer if there is anybody that would help me with it. if it is not so much trouble.
