* Location Scouting continues So far we decided to meet in somewhere Portugal. But where?At the moment we had two main proposals: Tomar and Sintra. SINTRA UPDATE HERE:----- At the same time, [http://hitchgathering.org/users/shaun Shaun] is traveling in Spain and Portugal looking for the right spot. If you know of a possible good place, [http://hitchgathering.org/user log in] and [http://hitchgathering.org/user/310/contact contact him] directly.
* Flyers
We printed 5000 flyers to promote the gathering. The flyer is made as a postcard with the front based on the design by Heather, and the back with some general information about the gathering.
Your initiative is needed to distribute this flyer! We hope to set up as many hubs as possible as fast as a hitchhiker can travel. Currently we have hubs in Amsterdam, Bristol, Berlin, Blois, and someone wandering along Spain and Portugal that can delivery flyers there as well .
We made a special page [[http://hitchgathering.org/lightfoot]special page ] that offers an overview on where flyers currently are, who to contact and who wants to have flyers. We are especially looking for people who can take the function as a hub to redistribute the flyers to all areas in Europe and maybe even beyond!
Do you want to have flyers, please make your request, just log in and click on share lightfoot. Or, if you are in the area, come to the pre-meeting in Berlin (Friday, 28th of May) to get some for further distribution.
* Road Junky Travel Film Festival
On the date 28-30 of May the Road Junky Travel Film Festival [ [http://www.roadjunkyfilms.com]Road Junky Travel Film Festival] will occur in Berlin (different entry fees each day: chek check their facebook page to see the program [http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/event.php?eid=232816196284&ref=tsfacebook page]to see the program.
The Festival is the perfect place to promote the 6810 gathering because it collects lots of attention between nomads, long-term/small-budget travelers, and, of course, hitchhikers.
Finally, during the pre-meeting we will distribute flyers for further lightfoot delivery and for promotion between our friends and riders.
If you are planning to be in Berlin during those days and you want to meet with us (even if you are not planning to attend the RoadJunky Festival), sign up on the event at (NEED LINK ) or get in touch with Mirtillosmile from the contact page http://hitchgathering.org/users/mirtillosmile (TO BE CHECKED IF APPEARS OK).
