2011 6GC Calendar, REFUND Options

[GriffGirl]

So, these past few months have been CRAZY busy for me, and I haven't had the time to devote to the calendar that I've devoted to it in the past two years. I'd still really like to do it this year though; it's something I really enjoy doing, and I love that you guys are into it and I love being able to provide it as a sort of "community service" to the board members.

So here's my thinking— because it's really quite late in the year for me to set it up as in the past, where I've collected contributions & posted a poll, I'm thinking that it would be pretty cool to be able to take the past COTMs and feature them in the 2011 calendar. Since COTM hasn't been running all year, I'm thinking I can supplement the missing months with some of the Featured Celicas from the home page, along with a few of the VERY VERY close runner-ups from last year's polling. There were a few shots that came in extremely close, and I think they deserve their spotlight too.

As for the cover shot, honestly, it's going to be a toss up for me. I'm leaning towards either using some very high res shots I've got from the meet I went to down in Southern Cali - some nice group shots - or, actually, just using my own car since you don't have to look at it all month anyway. Many (most) of you haven't seen the update on my car, but I assure you, it's quite worthy And of course, having a phat camera, I can shoot a good quality high res picture of it.

Alright - I want your feedback on this, people! The calendar is for YOU GUYS, so I want to know what you all think. I'm open to suggestions too; just keep in mind that realistically, these need to be printed in the next 2- 3 weeks, so time is of the essence.

The shots I'll be using will largely be comprised of the Celica of the Month shots, except for those that aren't available at a large enough resolution to be suitably printed. Any supplemental shots being used will be shots that have been sent to me in the past 2 years by people who missed being in the calendar by a very close margin. There's quite a few, and honestly, some that from a professional standpoint, I think REALLY should have made it in! As for the cover shot, I haven't decided yet, but I'm kinda reserving the right to use a (quality) shot of my own car, since A) I'm makin' the thing, and B) no one will be subjected to stare at it for an entire month, should they object

As for print - I'll have the calendar completed by the end of next week and will send it out for print the following Monday, and expect to have it available for shipping on December 1st.

I'd REALLY like to get a better gauge of how many I should have printed! So in hopes of motivating some of you, I'm willing to extend the pre-order offer of $16 shipped anywhere in the US until I'm ready send the calendar out for print, on November 19th.
