[scubadiver]

I have contacted the organisers about a possible table.

http://www.heavenlyplanetfestival.co.uk/home/

MUSIC - Artists of every genre and nationality will be featured along with Club and Dance culture in the form of drum’n’bass, UK hip-hop, dub-step and live performance.

COMMUNITY - Heavenly Planet will be a fresh and outward-looking festival, proud to forge links with its local community, working in a spirit of optimism and discovery, bringing artists and individuals together.

OPTIMISM - Our festival aims to bring people together, promoting a belief that people and their outlook on life can make a positive difference to the world around us.

I have been sent a form to apply.

I will be handing out leaflets for free but want to sell DVDs to cover costs.

Is it possible for someone to burn 'Press for truth' and 'in their own words' on to the same DVD? I would also like to sell 'Loose Change Final Cut' and 'The Elephant'.

I am going as 'We Are Change' so any other ideas for what DVDs to sell would be grateful. I can't burn my own DVDs and don't even know how to so any help would appreciated.

Note:

We don't own the words "We Are Change" and wouldn't want to.

But since, in the UK, our grassroots activist group are generally who are thought of when the term is used, we feel the need to clarify a few things:

We Are Change London do not sell DVDs. We give information to anyone who wants it for free. It is against everything we believe in, and in a broader sense against what 9/11 truth and peace activism stands for to sell vital information to people.

If you want to watch the Elephant in the Room for free go to www.nosmokewithoutfire.co.uk or the Dead Dean Films website http://www.deaddeanfilms.com or dpucks youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/dpuck, where not only the film but also most of the DVD extras and completely unseen footage is available to watch. If you want to support the film, you can buy it at the official site, which donates a chunk of the profits to the Feal Good Foundation.

You can also find over 40 free documentaries to stream from our website www.wearechange.org.uk (and many more on other sites around the web).

Many thanks,

Maybe if cost is an issue you could approach people that already have a stall and maybe negotiate a spot wthin it?
Maybe just being open to the promoters/organisers they may come up with suggestions? Just a thought

Want to make it clear that I know you have good intentions David, and I didn't mean to sound like I was biting your head off.

It's a real drag on our personal finances to keep giving DVDs out free, so I do understand the temptation to cover costs, and I know you wouldn't look to turn a profit.

But I do believe it is philosophically and ethically sound to continue doing so.

My advice is to set up a chip in account on a blog and ask people here to support. There's nothing wrong in asking like-minded people to support your efforts in getting the truth out there, it's just the notion of people having to pay for the truth that I object to.

[scubadiver]

My latest thought is to allow people to give money if they want to. All money can then go to the FealGood foundation.

A chip-in account might just be a good idea but I have no idea how it works!

Disco - that is an equally good idea!!!
