KRnetHeads, I have a little more info on the KRnet stickers, although I don't have a picture that I can show you yet. Orma Robbins and Joe Horton did a lot of legwork and got pricing and even samples, but in the end I decided on a local establishment because they seemed a little more flexible and gave me exactly what I wanted.
Up to now we have orders for 120 stickers, so a 250 sticker minimum would have meant no profit and a big pile of leftover stickers. The local folks will make exactly the number I request and charge me a dollar per sticker. And the good news is they'll make them oval shaped, which will mean larger stickers for cheaper. I ended up opting for a white background rather than clear so they will show up better on dark surfaces, and they're a lot cheaper. They will be approximately 3.7" wide by 3" tall. I have a nice stack of self-addressed stamped enveloped ready to be stuffed. I'm waiting for proofs (Monday) and then I should have them by the end of next week and have them on their way. Since I only have to order an exact amount, this means that if you want them, you need to order them in the next couple of days or they'll be "out of print". There won't be any left for the straglers. With only selling 120, there will only be enough money to buy about one prop, but I guess that's just the way it goes. Ordering info is REposted below: --------------------------------------------- Somebody brought up the idea of selling KRnet stickers a few weeks ago to finance KRnet, help with the Gathering if needed, and finance a "KR prop rental" program. Best of all, we'd all end up with KRnet stickers! Several folks have looked into having them made, and we're still working on that (anybody that has a line on sticker-making-for-cheap is welcome to contact me). By the way, the original logo was dreamed up by Oscar Zuniga, and actually created by former member Robert Covington. I think we're far enough along that we need to know how many of these things we're going to need to order. The best way I can think of to do that is to let y"all order them, and then we'll know. You need to go through the online ordering process even if you send a check, just so we can capture the quantity we're going to need. Bob Lee has conjured up a web page to let you do that. Please pay attention and answer the questions, check the boxes, and do it right to make sure everything works correctly. One thing I thought of (actually my wife thought of it) that would make this a lot easier on me is if most everybody ordering would pay by check and send a self addressed stamped envelope with their order. This would make it very easy to open an envelope, look at the check, stuff stickers in the SASE, and go to the next one. If you do that, I don't even think I'll have to use the "envelope stuffer" volunteers. I'll still take Paypal, but that costs money, and it would allow me to screw up your address between my computer and an envelope, and would be a lot more work. You'll see on Bob's ordering page that there's a one dollar incentive to just send the self addressed stamped envelope with your check. As far as accountability, you're just going to have to trust me to do the right thing and keep up with it. Then again, I may only get five orders and nobody will have to worry about! You can see the logo, and place your order, at http://krgathering.org/KRnet/KRnet_pro_shop_order.htm . We'll let it go for about a week before we'll call it "done", and then we'll place our order with the vendor.
