DVDs are still on the way, but in the meantime, all 2011 videos from The 21 Convention are now on sale for download. The video and audio downloads are perfect for people who (A) do not want to wait for the videos to come out on Youtube, and (B) people who want to play them on mobile devices, or simply offline and when without internet.

The videos are obviously advertisement free as well, unlike on Youtube.

The prices are $9.99 per HD video or $6.99 for the Mp3 version.

You are also supporting the best convention in the world, the convention you love, when you purchase these videos.

I suggest buying speeches from your favorite speakers. They are all really good. Especially Socrates. His speech has changed my life.

• Buy London event footage here.
• Buy Orlando event footage here.

Those links also have 5-10 minutes previews of each video.

I came across a subtitle in a book today for a section on the nature of reason and rationality. The subtitle was “Reason: The NonContradictory Integration of Experience”.

I found the subtitle pretty profound, and it made me think of The 21 Convention. In particular, the concept of integration, as well as experience.

The 21 Convention being both the integration of knowledge into a construct of my own design, and a real life, in person experience held at various times throughout the year.

A convention for men of the mind. A convention for the young Howard Roarks, Steven Mallorys, Hank Reardens, John Galts, and perhaps even, Dagny Taggarts of the world.

In any case, integrating is exactly the process occurring at the events. Every speech given by every speaker contributes to The 21 Convention in and of itself, specifically because the speeches are recorded, and subsequently, add to the sum of knowledge produced by me and the speakers, through the events.

While maybe strange to some to think of in this way, I find…

You can read the official post event write up here, complete with pics and video from the event.

The behind the scenes version is what this post is meant to be.

The event was a full 5 days long, because we spent Wednesday July 20th filming premium DVD products for select speakers. As fate would have it the ensuing 4 day event would be the most difficult to date. Those days were in fact were the most difficult four days of my life. I was not aware I could dig that deep, suffer that much pain, and come out alive.

It was the perfect storm of obstacles and problems. It was as if almost the entire world decided to shrug at the same time — and I refused.

What was most interesting was that the entire time, I had two deep senses, that I held with absolute certainty, despite my surface level doubts.

1. I would not fail.

2. This is only a fraction of what…

Tickets went on sale to The 21 Convention 2012 of London England a short while ago. I put them on sale this early because it helps support the company and it provides an opportunity for those on a tight budget to attend the event — people who simply can’t afford the full ticket price, or anything close to it.

The early bird prices in this case are pretty good, but even better are the bonuses attached to all of the tickets. In particular, of the three brand new ticket types, all get you free DVDs (shipped today) of your choosing from any previous event, and 2012 London tickets get you free access to all other 2012 events — including North America (August 2012), and Australia later that year.

Neither of these bonuses are going to stick around forever, and the tickets are supposed to go offline tonight. I will leave them up for any TDLers who did not get the memo that they were available though until July 2nd…
