[vox] Further LUGOD sponsorship of Atari Party 2010?

[Michael Cheselka]

Hello ,

Am I understanding, the Atari people want LUGOD to pay $600 and one of
the benifits is "free advertising"?
Are the Atari people not able to sponsor their own event?  If they
can, then why do they need LUGOD?

Regards,
