 Damn straight.

 We'd have to have a huge amount of CDs ready to sell (or, Hare-Krishna
style, give them away, and hope for donations).

 Being a student, I've no problem taking a few days off to man a stand.
It's not on till october, so we would have a while to get organised...

 Stuff to do: Request we could put up a speaker
              Have a stand
              Have people to man it
              Have stuff to sell (profits go to ilug for more such stands)

 Do people feel that this would be good use of the money ?
