Wow, a lot of great work on this page!

>  Brochure or bookmark hand out

I know we talked about this the first time.  This is the Free Culture 
brochure I currently use with LibreStreets: 
<http://librestreets.singpolyma.net/freeculture-brochure-front.svg> 
<http://librestreets.singpolyma.net/freeculture-brochure-inside.svg>

Could maybe adapt something similar for our purposes, if we want.  I've had 
good success with VistaPrint for many products, though I went with someone 
else for bookmarks because of price, if we think bookmarks would be good.

> otherwise give a business card so they can email us to ask any questions

Business card / bookmark.  A bookmark with contact information has the 
advantage of being (very slightly) useful, so (very slightly) less chance of 
being immediately forgotten / thrown out.

I'm not opposed to making a trip to Toronto to do something like this.  
There certainly is more foot traffic there on average.  Do you have a sense 
of what places in Toronto would be good to target for this sort of thing?

On a similar line, my attempt to explain this in a specific cultural context 
(churches):

I was at his DEFCON talk, it's good, but might (been awhile, so I'm not 
sure) gloss over some of the tech stuff a little bit more since, you know, 
DEFCON people don't really need this explained to them.

His talk at uwaterloo was a bit more general -- I even took my parents.
