Location: south east Michigan | Well...I did some checking.
Kinkos will make up a custom calender for $20. (I had hoped it would be about $12.. but that's life.)
Anyway...here is a plan... tell me what do you think.
Cost of calender....$29.00
Breakdown: $20 to Kinkos...$4 shipping... $5 to go to the OFC upkeep fund.
You would send me a check for the full amount along with one hi-res photo of your choice. If more than 12 calenders are ordered it would be up to I...Slipkid....your humble servant....to pick the photos that would go into the calender. Orders and payment would have to be recieved by let's say October 1st and the calenders would be mailed by November 1st. Right after that I would cut a check to Miles for amount above costs. Hopefully Miles would use the funds for OFC upkeep and not motorcycle gas.
What do you think? Did I miss something? |

If ANY uke photos make it in...I propose that it be solely limited to the month of February. |

Location: south east Michigan | Don't be sending anything in yet. Let's see if anyone comes up with a flaw in the plan.
You would just have to trust me on the photo selection. I would do my best to choose a good representation of models and history. Any photos sent in with excessive clevage would be kept safe in my private collection. |

Location: Warren,Pa. | Are ya thinkin' simply shots of guitars, or maybe something more unusual like...lets say...things peculiar to the OFC. Maybe shots of guitars AT the factory. Maybe things like stacks of top sets waiting to be made into guitars. How about someone in the booth putting a reverse sunburst on an Adamas. How about our Llama Lady applying little pieces of abalone to a Custom Legend LX top. These are shots that not just ANY Ovation owner could get their hands on. What do you think? John <>{ |

Location: south east Michigan | I would think that since it would be a Fan Club calender it would be more about it's members and their collections. Maybe just guitars, but it might be nice to place a face with the name and collection. If the factory was putting one out it might have pictures of guitars being made. I'd like to keep it a little more personal.
What do you think? Keep the comments coming! |

Location: Indiana | How bout a picture of our favorite Nancy playing her blue Adamas for January (I think that's her birth month), and of course Kaki on hers (sorry, don't know her birthday). Maybe some other O celebs b-days(GC,AD,ME, etc.)

Location: south east Michigan | I would think that a photo taken by the person who sends it would not be a problem. I'm not an expert but as long as we avoid trademarks or proffessional photos we should be okay.
Can anyone confirm that? |

Location: south east Michigan | I think that sending in a picture with your order would result in what people want to see. One order equals one vote for a picture. |

Location: East Tennessee | Lets face it. In order to display all of the beautiful instruments owned by members of this club we would need a daily or perhaps hourly calender. :)
Also, has anyone taken into consideration the GAS this calender will produce? :D |

I doubt that pictures of well-known artists playing Ovations is a plan....too likely that there would be legal problems. Well-composed and sharp pictures of interesting guitars would be quite good enough, I am sure!

Location: Phoenix AZ | Maybe this is just me, but I'd love to see a take-off on one of those chopper motorcycle calendars. A bunch of bikini clad bleach blondes with huge fake tits posing in all kinds of provacative positions with Ovation guitars. Call me crazy. Dave |

Any takers? :D |
