in May. But I gotta watch the OAV first; it's only been in the U.S. (I was
informed by the distributor that there are no planned Canadian showings) for
a few months and is only being shown at special screenings in selected
cities. How much does a plane ticket to Japan cost these days anyway?

I wouldn't know how much it would cost for a ticket to japan, but I could
help you with the information about the Ghost in the Shell OVA (since I
happened to be in one of the few cities that had a special showing of it.
Amazing was that fact that I was one of 10, as in T-E-N, people in the
theater at that time watching it.  It made it a lot of fun since the people
in there were of the same attitude as my roommate and I and had small
discussions during the movie.)  I highly recommend that you get the
opportunity to watch Ghost in the Shell as soon as it comes out (I think I
was quoted that it would come out in tape around April or so).

Jeez.  It was showing in two different cinemas here in Brisbane... and 
Canada had *none*?  I find it hard to believe.
