Look..I'm in the midst of self-discovery, not to mention menopause, not to mention I quit smoking 5 days ago, so pardon me if I get a little cranky now and then, plus my puppy is coming to the end of teething, which means I haven't slept through the night in maybe a month...it's no wonder I am not in jail for murder.   ;D

Oh, I didn't realize all that was going on...I just thought you were having a mid-life crisis!  ;)

I think Chuck's idea to do a poll or something to gauge interest is a good one.

Two thoughts on style, which related directly to cost:

What everyone seems to be discussing is the "traditional" one picture per month style calendar. Each month you flip the page and there is a new picture of some gorgeous stud. Alternatively, you could have ONE picture and each month you rip off the page for the next month.

The first option is more expensive because you have 26 impressions (12 months, 12 pictures, plus a front and back cover). With color photocopying of ~$1/pg (price might go down some depending on the volume) plus spiral binding, a single calendar falls into the ~$25 range.

One picture with 12 calendar months that get ripped off is obviously going to be much less. The months could also be printed on a lighter weight paper (not cardstock which is needed in the other scenario) also decreasing the cost.

The one picture could perhaps be a collage of images from the gatherings and here at the website...something to reflect "the spirit of bettermost." Okay, so it's not the men, but overall, as a project, it might be more feasible to execute.

Anyone here have any skill with photoshop and doing collages?

Good idea! Any I also like the idea of a calendar does from the photos of the get togethers. That would be fun.

Yeah, that would have been better. I sound like cool aid.
