Are you gonna make the transcripts of the interviews available? Because id like to take a shot at analysing the uncut material.

That hadn't originally been my plan. I'll check in with some of the folk in in communication with and see if they're ok with that, as I hadn't checked in to see if that was OK before we started talks.

Filmed interviews, I'd like to make availible online wherever I get the OK.

[The Johnny]

Well i hope its ok, well have to wait and see then, but i think it would be awesome, because like, in an end product that has ommissions or is trimmed for editorial purposes, a lot of richness is lost, and its a very subjective thing to select what is "important".

History has shown I probably won't have a chance go to NY with the Principality, unless of course you come up to Boston and I buy you lunch and alcohol.

Ok lets assume I start in Boston then... I'll start looking into flight info.

[Mistre]

I live in Rio, if you want to give me a visit. Don't personally know any discordians located here besides me, though.

Awesome! Consider it a done thing, I was planning to go to Rio anyways.

AMERISPAGS: Assuiming I can't get a car (pretty safe assumption) what's the best way to travel state to state. Remember I'm on a budget.

[CorbeauEtRenard]

Going by bus is an option, but in a lot of places, the bus stations are really, um, not somewhere you want to be or possess valuables in. A friend of mine took the bus from college up to where I am a few times, and apparently absolutely absurd amounts of stuff gets stolen from the Dallas/Ft. Worth station he had to wait at each time.

So in other words, it's an option, but I wouldn't recommend it if you have any others.

Not sure it's much help, but I'm not well versed in travelling to states that don't share a border with the one I live in, so it's the best I've got on that subject.

I'll look into that.

I'll have some kind of Tablet with me which CANNOT be stolen, it will be my interview gear. I'll look into busses etc.

[LMNO]

The cheapest is indeed bus.  Trains, as it turns out, are only slightly less expensive than flying.  Forget renting a car.

You could also try the charity route, and have discordians from one state/town drive you to meet discordians in another state/town, and so on.

make an online backup of your info, cant solely rely on not losing a tablet

I intend to back up any time I have wireless access, plus use SD cards but still, it's still an expensive, useful thing to lose.
