But here's the thing, I've gotten used to having an Ovation Calendar on my wall. And the present ones become obsolete, albeit in a beautiful kind of way, about 9 months from now. And the original team (Thanks again Brad and Steve!) have moved on to living up to their legitimate responsibilities. I'm busy as heck! But the thought of not having my monthly GAS booster-shot keeps bugging me. So I've talked with DesignZilla and Al, and screwed myself up (How's that for a double entendre?) to pick up this ball and run with it (possibly for my life). But bringing a 2013 Calendar into your mailboxes comes down in the end to ascertaining the overall interest for one. Not only does it suck up tons of personal time to lay out (ask Zilla and Slipkid), but the logistics can be a bit cumbersome as well. But if the interest is there, this can be done. A couple of caveats: 1) I want to make it plain right out of the gate, that this project will NOT be intended as a money maker for me or any other person. The cost to members will be estimated from the pre-orders (if we get that far). When it comes to printing, the cost goes down as the number of copies goes up. 2) If any extra cash is made, it will go DIRECTLY to the OFC website. So here's what's going to happen for now, I'll keep this thread afloat for a couple of weeks as-is. Feel free to offer input and/or say whether or not you would buy any. (There is no commitment yet! I just need to get some ideas about how many calendars we are talking about.) Either post directly here or PM me if you prefer. If the interest warrants moving forward, I will ask for photo submissions and provide guidelines. As far as cost is concerned, it is impossible to tell this early. The last calendars were $29. No guarantees, but I am reasonably certain it can be kept at-or-below that as long as there are enough orders. So there you have it. Yet another hair-brained scheme launched by someone with too many turtlebacks. So do you all want to make it happen or not?  | ||

I'm not sure what the print price would be for a single copy though. I suppose it would depend a bit on the stock you printed on, and you could even print in black and white if you just want to be contrary.  But If you want something decent, you can figure 25 color prints (12 months, 12 portrait pages, and a cover page), binding (spiral works best), all done on heavy gloss stock. ......or something like that. I'm not sure how distribution would work though. Email a pdf? Snail mail a disc? Set up a "pay for download" somehow? (I've never done the last and have no clue how I would go about it.) As far as I am concerned; half the fun of the originals was knowing they were coming in the mail and opening the envelope like it was an early Christmas. But there's no denying it's the 21st century no matter how hard I try.  Edited by Patch 2012-03-24 9:48 AM | ||
