Re: [AGA-mcm] Juggling



They might. But this is where it gets sticky. Ben wrote the article FOR DFWAPC. WE offer to publish the thing and hand it out at OUR events, then we want them to pay for it. Doesn't sound right.

But I agree that it simply MUST be done somehow.

Ooh, Shawn Van Doren has one of those laser printers -- she used to use it for doing The Fish Flash every month. I can go ask.

I really want to do this. This is something very cool, helps new folks, clearly falls under our mission statements & all that. Even promotes the AGA. But the $2k price tag is a real setback with only a week to go...

Hey, any chance DFWAPC might kick in $500 for 1/4 of the copies?

I really liked it (Sans the hey its Larry :-)). It is
comprhensive and well written and the layout just
plain rocks!

I like the idea of giving this out. I just think there
has to be some way of doing it for less than $2000.

What if we bought Cheryl an inexpensive @$500 color
laser. I have a Minolta QMS Magicolor 2300 in my
office that does an OK job. It is not a real four
color press by any means, but it is a color laser.

For those who don't know the main advanatage of Laser
over inkjet is not quality or cost but rather the fact
that the ink is fused into the paper so that it will
not bleed under moisture. SOmething fish shows are
known for .

This is just an idea and it would still be expensive
when you add toner and paper but in the long run it
might be worth considering. I am not really sure but
that is all I can think of.

Larry

It's beautiful!  Really nice design.  But it's

also very $2000.  I supose

the ACA-isms like "Look It's Larry" would have to

be removed for a mass

printing.  I'm torn here, because it seems that

if we pay this much, we

should not have it a free publication.  I'm also

torn, because I also know

how much effort it takes to inkjet this stuff.

Any chance we could knock

off a few hundred bucks by getting a sponsor or

two (splat a corporate logo

on the back)?

BUT to get 1,000 of them professionally printed

THIS WEEK would be about

$2000. I talked to Karen on the phone as she is

e-mail-less tonight, and

she says to tell you guys that she thinks it

would be worth it. She has an

upcoming event where she can hand them out at

the beginning of August. A

publication of this sort has "legs" and would be

goos for a very long

time.

Here's what we're talking about. It's not final,

but it's close.

Why don't we see if DFW would like to do a

provides photos to go with it (if Ben hasn't

already) and picks up the

other events as well. Then

ask Ben if we can post it on the AGA web site

also as a "how to get

started" article.

Well, if y'all didn't know that I was helping

Erik a little with the AGA

web site, then maybe you didn't know either

that I was helping Ricky

with the DFWAPC web site.

Double parenthood caught up with him, too,

Erik, but he got slammed with

both kids at once.

So I've been updating the articles section and

one of the upcoming

articles is by Ben Belton. He has been working

on an article called The

Basics. It has been "almost finished" for

about a year. I had read bits

and pieces, but since he wasn't done with it,

I didn't bother to read

the whole thing. I didn't want to mess him up

by mucking with the files.


When I found out that were were going to have

a table at ACA, I thought,

you know, this is a great article for newbies.

I wonder if I could

reformat it and print it for the fish-folk at

ACA?


Just as I was finishing that, the new TAG came

to my mailbox and <smacks

forehead!> there's an article by Scott that I

didn't even know was in

the works COVERING THE SAME TOPICS! And with

mostly the same opinions.


I feel so conflicted. Does anyone have a

problem with us handing out

Ben's article at the ACA/AGA/DFWAPC table,

knowing that an article will

be published in TAG the next month?

Cheryl
