Hola Ben.

Brilliant - can I leave both, and it sounds like perhaps other, of those
contacts to you?

Also - we need a blog on this - it needs to explain, in brief, the use
of the funds - likely that is already written on the wiki page Florian
put up - a shot of the poster art, links to the show...

That would be most useful in solicitation emails to business owners and
corporate reps, I would think.

Anyone with a hankering for this and access to the main blog, as that
would have the most impact IMO?
