Personally, I didn't buy one because I prefer a hard copy of my calendars. Any chance of a few being printed on spec, and letting people buy them? If you need answers about printing processes, layout, stuff like that, someone who is involved with the process can PM me, and I'll get quotes for you from the folks I work with here at the University Press at U of Texas/Arlington. Others can undercut them, but since I deal with these folks all of the time I can get straight answers for you. (Keep it black and white and you can keep the costs down).

That's a little more like it, Jeff. Glad to hear all of Alison's hard work netted more than a couple hundred bucks for the Cat.

I sent out a least 25 of the 2002 edition (quick check of my email folder). More were sold that were not sent by me.

... and at $10 a pop, that's only about 10 calendars sold per year. Heck, there are more than that many people IN 'em!

Not that it wasn't a fun project (for everybody except Alison, probably), but that doesn't sound like a very lucrative fundraiser.

from what I heard we raised a couple of hundred dollars with the 2 calendars... but Max dealt with that so you'd have to ask him to get the total... I know Bill Sables sold some in the UK too

Halló all , I have to say that the picture is and has not
been taken yet, there´s a reason for that, becouse I am
about to be in a magasin in some of next weeks so I am
gonna ask them to take two or three photos of me extra.
So Alison If you are gonna make another calender witch
I hope you do then send me an E-mail.
My body is changing every week now so may it would be best
to take picture after about three months or so??.

Alison posted a new thread a month or two ago about a 2003 calendar, but she said something about our having "done the nude thing to death" or something to that effect, and she suggested folks pose as a favorite folk song character. To me, that sounds complicated and maybe even expensive (unless you regularly performe in costume). (Of course, the "woad" folks' 'costumes' would be fairly easy-- and just a gradual transition from the old calendar format!)

As to all the months being "taken," Alison has sometimes had two folks "share a month."

Also, as Mudcat keeps looking for ideas on fundraising, I find myself wondering how much $ the calendar has brought in each year since its inception.

Whaddya think, Alison -- do we have a spot for Stilly hiding behind a dulcimer?

Is there a Nearly Nude 2003 calendar coming up? Anyone have a thread with that discussion? (I should offer to pose with the dulcimer--hardly fair to hide behind the piano--I'm in great shape after a summer of digging up the yard, putting down floor tile, moving, painting, etc. You'd have to excuse the bruises, though). But I bet all of the months are already taken by this bawdy group.

Sorcha,
I am selling the calenders. I put them on disc with a copy of the DT and last years calendar and sent them to catters in the UK. It is easier to send £££ to me than to send $$$ to Max, then all cash is transfered to Mudcat in one transaction via Dick Greenhause.

Well, now, Wyo, that presents an interesting prospect for folks next year. We're supposed to be nude except for our instruments, so on the premise that "the voice is an instrument," we could get some really interesting photos next time, right?

If anyone wants to buy a callendar in the UK I will copy it onto a CD and include last years as well and at no extra cost I will add a copy of the Digitrad. For all this, which includes postage and packing, I think the charge should be at least £10 but if you don't agree just send the equivalant in sterling of $10 US. It all goes to mudcat anyway.
Plus!!! I have Mudcat tee shirts in all sizes and Mudcat patches (Sew on cloth badges with the banjo/fish logo) so if you order a shirt or patch at the same time I could send it all in one package and save the extra postage. Shirts by the way are £12 and patches £3.50
