OK thats great...so the primary shipping will be handled by the media company

I am stepping up as the "Greek guy" We shall wait and nudge people for
a week to step up.

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)

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)
