Yes, I can do the mastering.

Well, I sure don't want to burn 54 disks.  18 is a lot.

I can master them and make, say, 5 sets to send to other burners, who
can duplicate them down the line.

If we're happy with nice 300x300 graphics, I can also print 18
inserts.  If we're really getting fun, I can also print CD-R labels.
Those cost a bit more, of course (I think the blank labels are around
$0.50 each).

This is a good question.  I'd say let's do one round, hopefully a 2
disk set, and then think about another if the shows actually
materialize.
