Well, the time has come everyone! The 2014 OFC Calendar draws nearer to going to press every day. Of course, in order to send it along, I need to know how many to order. So here's the deal:

The cost for the calendars in the continental United States will be $17.50. This includes the calendar, shipping fees, and Paypal fees with the exception regarding international shipping detailed immediately below.

I know many of our overseas members have inquired about shipping, but I can only provide a ballpark figure based on the U.S. Postal Service website. I can estimate the size and weight of course, but beyond that it is pure guesswork. From what I can tell, shipping to Europe and Australia will run about $12 extra to send it via First Class mail. (I know, I know! The shipping costs are nearly as much as the calendar! But there is little I can do about it.) Of course I can try to combine orders and ship for those who can easily get them around to each other. So when you order, please be sure to remind me if you are overseas so I can budget everything accordingly.

There is one question I can answer before anyone asks: YES! You will receive these in plenty of time to give as Christmas presents.

This is important! The spreadsheet I use to track everything is sorted by your OFC user name. Please be certain to include it however you contact me so I can keep records straight. This is especially important if you communicate via email.

Payments can be made via Paypal to:

ofc-calendar@patchworkmcg.com

I would prefer not to post my address on an open internet forum. So if you prefer to send a check or money order, please contact me via email and let me know. Email is best; as last year I could not empty my PM box fast enough to keep up with the orders. Again, use ofc-calendar@patchworkmcg.com.


Be certain of course to include your shipping address when you order.


The deadline for payment is Monday, September 30 2013. If you have a '13 Calendar (preferably an OFC Calendar of course), be sure to make a note on it.

Remember, I cannot order the calendars unless enough people pay for one. I need a minimum of 50 bought and paid for to place the order, so please do not wait if you don't have to.

As I stated before, if there are any left-over funds, they will be donated to the OFC.

As far as the calendar itself goes, I like the results so far. Hopefully all of you will too.

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent		I finally have the stupid spreadsheet working like it should! (If I do this again, please remind me not to schedule payments to start showing up right before I have to start lesson planning for the fall.)

Everyone who's posted an order here, and a few others as well, are squared away.

We still need MANY more orders to make this fly everyone. Keep them coming in OK?

Location: Yokohama, Japan		Hi Patch, Thanks for giving us the opportunity to buy in on the calendar. This will be my first, and I'd like to get five of them. Can you send them to an APO address in Japan?

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent		Hi Bernie,

I can probably pack both together, so just add a bit to the international shipping fee to cover the extra weight.

Arumako, shipping to an APO should be no problem.

Keep'em coming everyone.

Location: Upper Left USA		So if Patch was good enough (or more like crazy enough...) to sign on to do this the least we can do is show a little support.

Unless you want the same calendar everyone else has?

These make incredible gifts!

Get one for your buddy that plays a Taylor and see what they give you next year!

Get one for your Spouse and put a bunch of sticky notes in it showing potential Birthday or Father's Day gifts!

Get a bunch and list them on Ebay as rare, vintage, classic guitar memorabilia!

Just get one!

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent		Crazy....definitely crazy Woody.

Time to sound a bit of an alarm though.

I admit I didn't think I would have to push as hard as last year. It was my first calendar after all and hence a bit of a gamble on everyone's part. But it turned out to be fairly popular with those who bought one and we eventually moved about 100 copies. So I honestly thought getting sales of this one would not be as difficult.

But things are moving very slowly I'm afraid. Just like last year, I need at least 50 ordered to get a decent price. As of this morning (9/10/2013---I had to look at the 2013 OFC calendar for the date.), exactly 15 calendars have been paid for. I submit proofs in less than two weeks and hopefully printing will begin in early October. (That depends just a bit on the projects already in the pipeline at the press.)

So if you plan on ordering these, please do so ASAP. For less than $20, you will receive a product that could easily cost twice as much without complaints the week before Christmas. (HINT, HINT: These make nice little gifts. Affordable, unusual, useful, and most importantly; very easy to wrap!)

Let's keep this project alive for years to come. Get your orders in soon.....please.

Please send it to Jerome.
He lives somewhere over in Europe, France I believe... has the best Ovation site ever.
