I wasn't even drinking anything and that made me do a "spit take"!

Ahh, memories of Buffy convention with DD in Detroit... good times. Where is it being held? We were at the Marriott Ypsilanti at Eagle Crest. I love conventions! Have fun!

Reviving a previous discussion... I did some fiddling around on LuLu and figured out that if we were to do a NICE souvenir-type book thingy, here's what it'd break down to...
200 pages (all-color for photos and such)
Hard Bound
Casewrap cover (meaning the entire cover is an image, rather than library-style cloth binding).
About $47 each.
That's pretty darn steep, but I personally am willing to fork out the cash for a quality souvenir book from the day.
Luckily, Lulu will print one or a zillion, so even if only two of us want it, it's still doable.
What do y'all think?

If you want to be in charge of it (and no profits will go towards anyone other than Lulu [or the group]), than go for it. If you can give me a sample to look at (digitally, cover and an example page, using some sort of picture), I can give the idea a greenlight quite fast. I know I will buy one after the event, so I'm sure others would do the same.

The cover is in progress, and I haven't come up wiht a sample page yet. Give me a bit.

Ok -- here's an EXTREMELY PRELIMINARY version of the cover. It is still incomplete. Keep in mind that it is "backwards." The side on the left is the BACK cover. the side on the right (currently blank gray) will be the front cover once I get a photo and such. I also still need to add in a spine. And note that the outermost edges of the design will be folded over, so the text and such is set away from there.

I absolutely love it brkgnews! Even the sample looks fantastic. You have the go-ahead from me! Just keep me updated with your progress (and if you need any of my photos from my upcoming visits to the park, please let me know)! I wish you luck with this fantastic project, and I know you will do wonders! :sohappy:

Thanks for the confidence. I'm going to basically get the shell ready, but the vast majority of the work will come after the event itself. I'll be soliciting a ton of photos from everybody who was there. I think it will be a better souvenir if we have a ton of pictures of our folks during the day, rather than just generic imagery that you can get from any guidebook.

I'd buy it. I have room for 600 photos on my camera, so expect tons of pictures from me.

brkgnews, that cover design is great! I especially like the subtleness/simplicity of the front cover. It'd be a good chance that I'd get a book and even try to contribute w/ pics.

Digital is a given -- especially since I need to do all this in photoshop and then pdf it for LuLu. I may even have some of y'all who are going to be sending in tons of photos to aftually snail mail me a CD just for simplicity's sake, since downloading all those pix will be moider.

It would be nice to have pictures of all the attendees, sort of a "we were there" proof. I certainly would sign a consent for that one
Since I'm quite a shutterbug, I would certainly contribute the pictures that I'll be taking for the book. Is there any issue of exclusivity and copyright? I mean, I would also like to upload some of the pictures that I'll be taking for my trip reports on here and in my blog.

That photobook is a great idea. $47 isn't too bad, considering I'd easily spend that for prints after the trip anyway. I love the cover so far, good work! I will happily send along all my shots, and I'm sure I'll take loads. Sending a CD will be no problem. (Although in my case It would be several CDs - could I send a DVD-ROM instead?)

DVD-ROM would be fine, too.
As for copyright, I intend to include verbiage that basically says that all photos are "copyright their original owners, used with permission." That way everyone can still do what they want to with their pictures -- they are basically allowing us to use them for the book. I hope to include a small credit on each photo saying who took it. But at the very minimum I will put notation at the end of the book saying who contributed photos.
So... how would you like each page set up? Obviously photos are the primary element. But - do we want captions, or just the photos?
Oh yeah -- about the "release" -- hrmmmm.... wonder about that. I wonder if we're good to go with the fact that people essentially agree to photography due to the "public place" nature of the event? Isn't there essentially a photography agreement built into your ticket purchase? Also, isn't this essentially a "documentary?"
