>what's yr traffic crossing distro idea?

1.  Burn up lots of copies on CD, costs about 20-25c each
2.  Rubber stamp the CDs (label printing to much hard work)
3.  Cut up some cardboard so that there is a spike that you can put the CDs 
on (the carboard spike goes through the hole of each of the CDs)
4.  Gaffer-tape the cardboard+CDs to a CBD traffic crossing, so that you can 
take a CD.  Tape it just above where you hit the button to make the green 
man appear.  You should be able to fit around 10-12 on each one.
5.  Add a little sign at eye level saying 'grass roots activist media, plays 
in most DVD players' or the like

Experimenting with this method, i found i could burn about 100 copies a day 
on a 52x burner in the background while at work (advantage of being a 
drone). And tape them up in my lunch hour.

N.b. street cleaners in the CBD are _very_ efficient you've only got about a 
1.5hr window at lunch (about 12.15pm or so is good)  same in the arvo, about 
5pm is good.  Getting that information was kinda fun.  I reccomend whizzing 
around at the end of lunch and taking the distro points down so they can be 
reused the next day.

I distributed around 350 copies of newsreal2 over a week without too much 
effort.  It would be cool to do some sort of organised blanket of various 
CBDs when the next one is ready.


Peace+love+respect,

Waz.
