this was disucssed at the LL and someone PM'ed Jeff and this was his resposne:

"From what I know, The official Doors 2006 Calendar will NOT be happening this year - we saw several submitted, they did not come up to our standards, and we decided to wait and do a really great one in '07.

You are about to see ALL of The Doors' merchandise take on a decidedly different look & feel, and we are going online with our DoorStore in a month or two at the outside, with about 50 or 60 new items, so, stay tuned"...

so, no...there isn't one for '06...i've been looking for a while too - i've had one for every year for the last 5 or so, and this is a bummer - the '07 one better kick ass! cool.gif

Some of you guys are pretty talented with Photoshop. Why don't some of you create some pages of a '06 Doors Calendar, and we can look at it here online? Maybe include some Doors-related dates on some of the days. I know I'd probably use them as wallpaper for my computer for the given month. That would be pretty cool.

Maybe we should all decide who should do which month, otherwise we'll get more than one person submitting the same month.

this is good - one person per month, using any pictures in which ray appears. each one should have a top part with pictures and a bottom part will be the calendar part with Ray/Doors/ROTS - related dates.

if, dave, you are willing to host it, i'm sure everyone here would totally get into this. could be like a little ray message board group project. maybe you could show it ray eventually? we could set a date for submission, and be set.

sound good? i'm sure there's at least 12 people here willing. i call dibs on april! biggrin.gif
Techwreckie
Well I'm happy to join in, I'll do any month which no one else wants to do!

I will definitely find some space to host it. Go nuts! If we have more than 12 months, we'll make it an "extended" calendar. smile.gif

I think that's an awesome idea! I don't know how to use photoshop, but I would gladly submit pics.
universalmind1123
well it looks like there's enough peope interested; i say we do this! you can include doors/ray-related dates.

we can sign up for a month here - just quote the list:

JAN (even though it already started) -
FEB -
MAR -
APR - universalmind1123
MAY -
JUN -
JUL -
AUG -
SEP -
OCT -
NOV -
DEC -

if there are more than 12 willing, we could add a cover, back, and title pages, etc. we could have a "due date.' i suggest January 23. is that OK with everyone? perhaps we can feature the sign up list as a new topic so everyone will see it or in a different section since it isnt just ROTS (if this is a cool idea for everyone)?

is everybody in?

i think we should do an all-ray related one first (doors, solo, ROTS, personal) first to see how it works out. then i think we can specialize in an all-ROTS one; any thoughts? cool.gif
Techwreckie
Yeah that's a good idea. Any pictures with Ray in, then maybe we could do an all-ROTS one, or perhaps an all-doors or all-solo one!
Should we make the calendar pages a standard size?

Since I have no doubt people will be using this as Desktop wallpaper, we might want to make two different versions of each page. One 800X600, the other 1024X768. If each page could have one of each, that would be very cool. It would give people a choice.

Dave
Techwreckie
So, the size includes one half of the page with a picture or pictures, and the other half with all the days on? Or 1024x768 (and 800x600) for each half?

I was thinking an entire month (pix and days/numbers) would fit in the 800X600 (or the 1924X768). I was thinking it would be nice if we created a "Desktop Wallpaper" calendar versus the kind you have hanging on your wall. Something you could set your wallpaper to for the month. It's up to you guys though. I didn't really envision anyone printing it out (although I may be wrong).

Sorry, I posted one line down in the last post...I meant January instead of February..
This is just a thought, I took a picture of Ray from 1971....it might be kinda cool to start off with pictures of the younger Ray and then move the pictures up as the months approach move up in time to correspond with the more mature Ray...just a thought...
What do you guys think? blink.gif

Can't wait for you to see the January picture...and the date part with the quote.....please help me get then posted.... rolleyes.gif Sorry I am computer-illiterate in this function! wink.gif

Maybe initially you can use one of the free sites to host them until everything's complete, then I can find a perminent home for them once they are all done. That would be the fastest way to do this if I'm not around. If that's an issue people can just send them to me. We need to figure out the whole 600x800 versus 1024X768 thing, and verify the format. Mary Beth just sent me one with the photos on one page, and the dates on another. If this will be a "computer wallpaper" calendar, the whole thing (photos and squares with dates) need to be on a 800X600 or 1024X768 image. What do you guys think?

blink.gif I will fill in what needs to be filled in when we are coming down to the cut-off time if you guys want me too...just let me know...I love doing the artistic stuff! But it would be nicer if other people would contribute...I know Sunday Trucker always comes up with some very neat stuff......so come on everybody let's pitch in and get this together......it would be nice to get it done ASAP! I sent my January copy to Dave tonight and I am going to get crackin' on my November entry ASAP. I know we all don't have that much free time, but once you get into it it's a blast!

i agree. it should be one page with both photos and the dates it. as far as size, i think 800x600 should do it. and we should all host or keep it for now and then, once we're all done, you dave, can see if some space can be found. perhaps show it to ray? cool.gif

If that's what we are doing, Mary-Beth, you sent me a two-pager, so you will want to redo it on a 800X600 image. The above sounds good to me, so unless people have any issues I assume that's what we'll do. I look forward to see what you guys come up with.
