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

(Sends Milli a pm)

Got the PM, Truman.

Wow, didn't realize that this Calendar Project was serious ... I thought you lads were just having a laugh.  8)
I will be willing to help.  Keep me posted.  :)

Technical stuff to remember: images for a printed piece must be hi-res (at least 300 dpi for offset printing, and at least 150 dpi for "instant" color printing like at Kinko's.  Not 72 dpi as for onscreen jpegs.)

So if Milli or someone is doing this, send her hi-res images!!

Ummm.....*about to put possible black cloud over the event*


Like I said in a previous post, the members of another site where I modded tried to do this (I was also asked to model) and the admin came into the convo.  He had these points to make.

#1.  If the calendar sales are to support the site, it should state that somewhere on the calendar.

#2.  The website's address and name should be displayed somewhere on the calendar.

#3.  Most important.  To legally protect the site (in this case, BetterMost) all the men who submit images MUST ALSO SUBMIT A WAIVER stating they give BetterMost permission to use their image for the calendar, and understand that any monies that are collected are going to the support of the website, and that they will not take any actions (legal or otherwise) against BetterMost.

Perhaps someone with some legal expertise can have some imput here.

Are we talking about just our Bettermost family or are we talking about selling it elsewhere?
If it is just for us thats one thing but to the general public? Oh Lord!  :laugh:

I can't really see there being enough interest within the site to make it financially feisable, and outside the site not much reason for it to be noticed.

Perhaps, let me put this forward, a mockup could be done on a pdf and members could req. it be sent to them via email and they could print it out themselves.

Holy cow, Truman!  I didn't know you'd already started a thread!  It sure is a fun idea.  I've got shots from our various get togethers put together as a screen saver for my laptop - sometimes when I wake up I'm treated to my Bettermost friends!!  This morning was Lisa and Chris in Denver.

Wonder if we should ask Phillip what he thinks?  I'll send him a link to this thread.
