On the streets

[Danny Piccirillo]

Okay so this is what i think we need:

   - Time
   - Place
   - Permit
   - Desktop
   - Laptop
   - Camcorder
   - CD's
   - Pamphlets
   - Anything else?

I'd be happy to volunteer my desktop and i can take care of pamphlets. Would
this also be a good time to collect donations?
