Thanks to the fine
work of Anthony Gaston Bayou Productions and Joe Reinhardt of
Hi-Tech Enterprises Incorporated, you can purchase an Internet
password through AAI for the cost of $35 for one event (selecting
either the Thursday, September 27 Fundraiser, the Friday, September
28 Dawkins and Harris Program, the Saturday, September 29 Plenary,
the Saturday Night Awards Banquet, or the Sunday, September 30
Secular Ceremonies Event), two for $70 or $95 for all 5 events
(Thursday, September 27-September 30 as described above). For more
program details, please see the convention schedule
at:

Please go
to the following link to connect to the AAI Convention Live Video
Stream Website where you can make your password purchase through Pay
Pal or credit card.

As an extra bonus,
you will be able to log on after the show and download the WMV file
so that you can watch it from your own hard drive. The shows will be
posted after the live broadcast, and the convention activities will
remain on the server for a week to be viewed or downloaded only by
people who have purchased passwords.
Please note that the
following restrictions apply:
1. You cannot log on from
more than 1 computer at any time using the same password. This
prevents anyone from sharing a password. If the same password is
used on another computer, both computers will stop receiving
transmission.
2. Anyone with a slow ISP such as a
dial up will not be able to watch in real time as their computer
will frequently pause to "buffer" the stream.
3.
The deadline to sign up and pay will be Sept. 19, 2007.
4. If you sign up for
one video stream or a package of two video streams and you decide
later to view all five events, you will not be able to
upgrade or transfer/apply credit.
We suggest that you
consider hosting a party or renting a hall so that as many people as
possible can share in this historic convention. AAI's goal is to
connect atheists all over the world and this convention is the first
attempt to synchronize the movement through the inspiring words of
atheist leaders, scientists, writers, philosophers, and passionate
nontheist people.
If you do not want to see the convention
activities in this manner, we suggest that you visit the AAI website
in October to purchase quality DVDs of each day/event. The
video will cost $25 for your choice of day/event or $75 for the
entire disk set (plus postage).
Thanks for your
interest in AAI. We hope to meet you someday. Perhaps we can meet at
the 2008 AAI convention that will be held in
Long Beach,
California on the Queen Mary, the
last weekend in September! Watch for more exciting details of that
event on the AAI website (www.atheistalliance.org) Please write or call if you
have any concerns or questions.
Freethoughtfully
yours,
