I can do a month by month calendar with Cafe Press, where I have my bovine-slash-cowpilot stuff.

See My Useless Junk Here.

I think a month by month would be about 15 or 16 dollars a shot, but the advantage would be that you could just order it online.

Anyway, just a thought, and no, I'm not making any money on any of that crap, sorry to say.

Kermit is a MUST:D

I am ever thankful that they made that one into a 4-banger, or I'd have pestered you endlessly In my efforts to buy it from you:D

Oddjob, how did the country crowd react to Kermit?

It can still be done in a .pdf format!
Then if you didn't have the printing capabilities, you could take the file to Kinkos or Staples or whatever else you have nearby.

I had to have second thoughts about the poster-sized calendar. My enthusiasm got the better of my professionalism.

One of the biggest issues with poster size is that the pixel resolution you need in order to make it half decent when printed causes file sizes to be enormous. Even at just 300 dpi, an a0 poster is a whole pile of pixels, and a Linotronic prints photo-magazine quality at 2400 dpi ...

If you use Photoshop to make a half-decent image, the file size of even an a4 300 dpi image is a frightening number to hreaten your RAM with. I do a lot of front pieces for astronomy publications here at the Agency, and even with 2Gb of RAM it still pages the WIP on an off my disk ... Sure you can eventually reduce it to a jpeg, but top quality jpegs also ain't small ... There may be a way of composing the complete calendar from a collage of small pre-prepared image tiles, around a vector-image calendar, but I'm not in that end of the biz so I'm not sure.

In either event, wouldn't want to recieve one through my mail server, and I certainly wouldn't allow one of my users to send out a few dozen !!

Let's talk stocastic rasterization then:D

I'm sure I have photos of a DG Bongo 4 HH and a DG Bongo 5 H. Different pickup configs, but the same color, sure.

'Fraid I couldn't use the fiver .. it didn't mate up to the 4 .. so I made a new fiver out of a copy of the four. I really kinda like the way the shape of the bongo suits the sort of interlocking curves motif I tried to introduce ... . The large, hi rez versions look a lot better, but I didn't think EBMM would like me wasting all their disk space on trivia ... So .. here it is .. the 9 string BbOoNnGgOo ... in a few wild color schemes too ..

As always, lefties and various pickup combinations available at short notice ...

Enjoy :)

(WOOWOOO .. my 100th post too !!! - not much but at least I'm into 3 digits!!)

Oh ho!

Now that I see what you're up to, I can probably find some photos that match up better.

Nicely done! My shoulders and back still disagree, though.
