Hey, how about _talking_ to people next time. The demo on Friday was
quite funny, since we evolved from typical geeks (silent, sheepish) into
campaigning geeks (sheepish, pretty quiet) by the time I had to go at 2.

If the plan is to only hand flyers out, then we might as well donate our
train fares towards a mail shot! The purpose of the exercise should be
to talk to people, or even get them to join in.

And we need a lot more people to talk to. How about outside HMV or
Virgin, complaining about the evils of the DMCA.
