[Coco] proposal for CoCoFEST! talk

[KARL SEFCIK]

Hey Allen,   Why not do both? A dvd for those of us that want that, and Youtube for those that want to see it for free? Just a reminder, the group STRAIGHT NO CHASE got a 5 album recording deal just by their video on Youtube, lots of people have landed lucrative acting roles in movies and tv shows because of their video on Youtube. 
    So, why not the Coco? It'd make a great skit on SNL,lol.

Hmmm, this could be arranged. Would anyone be willing to pay $5 or so for a DVD
of presentations, profits going to Glenside? Sure we could just post for free on
YouTube too.
