[Imc] quad day

[Paul Riismandel]

I agree that it was a success and send big thanks to Aaron and Civic Action 
for making the opportunity possible and being so helpful.  During my two 
hours I talked to lots of interested people, only a small fraction of whom 
knew anything about the IMC.  The sign-up list spanned two pages.  I 
managed easily to give away all the public-i that were left after 
Mike--probably 100?  At least a few people I talked to had seen the paper 
already.

I even talked to someone on a short exchange from Italy--we discussed the 
current sorry state of the Italian media, the events in Genoa, and he 
promised to put us in touch with some of his friends in Italy.  He said he 
wanted to go to Genoa, but was getting ready to leave for the US then.

Certainly a relatively low-effort way to reach a lot of folks at once.
