The media company is willing to ship to multiple receviers, so we can
order the media company to do this. ( Thats great, because Its not
eating my time. ;) )
OK thats great...so the primary shipping will be handled by the media company

We would need to those to step up. Someone want to step up?
I am stepping up as the "Greek guy" We shall wait and nudge people for
a week to step up.

I think shipping small amounts is a loss bussiness for us. Better we
would hand them personally. Or open a online shop (or franchise some
shops + funding back to us ), where people can order.
Ok handing them personally is the best choice and this could be done
through events.
I dont like the idea of an online vendor (this is a story totally
different to our media production one)

Wow, didn't get that, sorry.
It is simple enough, they are two kind of events ahead of us...
First, the Release Parties during the next month. These could be
facilitated by the primary shipping process (media company shipments)
Second, are the events after summer that will be facilitated by the
secondary distribution process (through events personally etc)
