Well, finally, after all this time Kodak has put their calendars on sale again.

If you want to make your own go to www.kodakgallery.com and create your own for 50% off using the coupon code: FRESHSTART

Offer ends 20 Feb 07.

I "may" be making another FGF calendar but the scope, scale, effort, etc will be significantly less than my first go-round. If you're interested in some sort of calendar, let me know via this thread.

I'm in no way trying to compete with Geoff's calendar (Calendar #2). I just want to put out something for me and a few of my friends.

I thought this would be a good place to 'plug' Geoff's store and the official First Generation Firebird calendar. Get your authentic calendar:

Sorry Smitty , but I think 'most';already bought the "official" calendar...I thibnk Kodak did this years as last ,they are trying to sell more of their stuff 'after the facts' ,kind of like a "after Christmas" sale....if they did this in december or better yet november...you`d have a better following....Last years calendar was great, dont take me wrong it just the timing...

Bjorn, all: I fully didn't expect many takers on this calendar. I just wanted to make folks aware of the new sale. "If" I put out a new calendar, I can do what I can to put some new pics in it.

Mucho respecto,
Scott

Calendar update:

Nash and 400 Plus are in. Bronzebird didn't make it. The pic isn't high enough resoluion and it's a funky shape for the Kodak templates to handle. Yes, I'm disappointed too since it's a great pic.

Including shipping, 5 Calendars cost $64.57 / 5 = $12.91 each + $3.19 shipping from me to you - $16.00 for each calendar

Nash is on the cover and has 4 pix on November.

400Plus has January and February. (Feb might be fuzzy but I went with it.)

PM me if you want to see a preview of the calendar. Time's a wasting for the price. I have to be wrapped-up by tomorrow afternoon.

Cheers,
Scott

Hi guys, well there's only 5 cheap ones, after that the price goes up significantly because the sale is over. (I'll fill the scant orders in the order they were received in this thread.)

Hammered and RosettiJ, if you guys had high-res versions of your signature pics, they would've looked great in the calendar!

I'll get some quality photos this summer. I'm a terrible photographer. I'll have someone else take them.

400PLUS has the best pictures ever, hands-down!!

He should have his own calendar.

Yeah Nash, not to worry. Those that submitted good pix get "priority buy" privileges. You got the cover, and 1 month with 4 small pics. :-)

Actually John Rosetti, get me a retake of your sig pic. I love the angle of the sun. Nice car color too. Just ask Bjorn, I HAMMERED him for good pics for Calendar #1 but he finally delivered around 8 very nice pics indeed.

BTW, I'm not THRILLED with my Cal #2, It's decent, but there isn't the variety and world-encompassing flavor of Cal #1. Hey, I'll stilll be happy to hang it in my cubicle when Cal #1 expires.

Yes, Cal #2 runs from April 07 to March 08.

I have an idea...we could do a Windows Wallpaper collection...pics can change regularly. I'm sure Mac users could find a way to use them too!

Yes, we COULD teach the MAC users to learn.....if they promise to conform to our desires and demands!!

Oh, did I type that out loud?

Yes Bjorn, you got two months because you earned them with effort AND quality. I still love the skyscraper pic.

Bronzebird - I'll do what I can. You might just barely get a cheap calendar since you submitted a pic. No promises. (I 'spose I should've ordered a few extras but this thread was pretty quiet.)

You'll snail me a personal check or money order whatever's easier for you. I'll determine the final cost here soon.

The calendars came in yesterday. I've been so busy there's been no time to crack them open. I assume they're fine.

I really don't see them being more than $20.00 per calendar. Again, I won't be making any profit. I just do this to hook a few brothers up!

Cheers,
Scott
