Fun Fact : "I've always loved Prague even though I've never been there. After all, the city has produced some of the best fantasists in the world, including the master animator Svankmejer...Because Ikarie B accepted 'The Sea, Mendeho, and Moonlight' when the Czech Republic was still part of Czechoslovakia, and there was no way to send me a check for payment, I received instead a marvelous coffee table book of photographs by Jan Saudek." - Jeff
