X-Message-Number: 24296 From: "David Pizer" <> Subject: PHYSICAL IMMORTALITY EXPANDS Date: Sat, 26 Jun 2004 05:30:23 -0700 PHYSICAL IMMORTALITY (with the July issue which is at the printers now) will in July have two major wholesale distributors. We have added a second wholesale distributor in New York. (the wholesale distributors each have about 100 or so retail magazine stores they sell to). But the big news is that a sample copy of the July issue of PHYSICAL IMMORTALITY will go to 600 new wholesale distributors. From this mailing we expect to pick up at least 50 to 100 additional wholesale distributors for the October issue. Even if we just add 50 wholesale distributors and each one of them places PHYSICAL IMMORTALITY in 100 retail magazine stores that will be 5000 magazine stores carrying our magazine. This is in addition to our direct subscription list. We at PHYSICAL IMMORTALITY feel we are now on the brink of breaking into a large readership. ****************** WHAT DO WE NEED FROM YOU? With the possibility of a very large increase in readership we are considering adding 4 to 16 more pages to our magazine. Our present distributors feel that it would sell best at around 40 + pages. We need submissions from those of you who are practicing immortalists - people who don't want to die and are doing something about it. If you are signed up for cryonic suspension, you are probably a practicing immortalist. Please send a submission to Mike Perry at on your views. We need articles that are about 2 standard magazine pages in length. They can be on just about any immortalist topic. Here are some ideas: Why you want to live forever? Why you don't want to die? If you don't want to live forever, but want to live more than a "normal" lifetime, write an article telling the world why. Is it moral to try to live forever? Is it immoral not to try to live forever now that there is a chance we might be able to do that. What does cryonics have in common with religions? How can the cryonics movement get religions to incorporate cryonics into their plans? Why you want others to sign up for cryonics? Why you think cryonics will work. What chances do you give cryonics of being successful? Are people who don't sign up for cryonics not very smart? With the possibility of a fast growing readership for PHYSICAL IMMORTALITY this can be *your* vehicle to express your views and win over others with your own personal argument. You write it well, and we will present it to the world. We also need artwork, humor, fiction, poetry.. Please send your submissions to our editor, Mike Perry, now, so that he has time to give consideration to every submission. You don't have to be a leader in the cryonics movement. You don't have to be well-known. Don't be shy. We know there are a lot of good ideas out there and we want to help get these new ideas to the general public. If you are not familiar with our magazine you can order a one year subscription for $24. just mail your check to The Venturists, 11255 State Route 69, Mayer Az 86333.
