Its coming soon! It'll be ready in the next couple days. I'm going to stay after work tomorrow to finish up all the photoshop work and we'll be ready to rock. Here's a quick teaser. (Just for you, rob!) And yes, as always, I used the Oldsmobile font for the usernames. ;D

Another thought though, I kinda like it when the username has an overlay to match the color of the car. I did pureinsanity's username in black with a 30% dark gray overlay; do they all look better in black or does the color give it a good look?

Holy Attention-To-Detail, Batman! VERY nice. As long as the paint color blends well with the specific photo background, I say do it.

That was the thought with the outer glow on all of the text, it would help it blend with the photo a little better. These are the only two that I've done so I'm not 100% sure it would work this well on all of them but I like it. ;D

Calendar is almost done! All I have left is the IL meet photo, cover, and MO meet photo. I'm expecting to be completed with it tomorrow or friday at the latest. It will be ready for purchase as soon as it's together.

The calendar is here! Click this link to purchase the calendar from ACNA's very own CafePress store. The calendars are shipped directly to you, and the transaction is done entirely through CafePress. They make it and send it per order so there's no group buy associated there either. This is one of our best yet! Great work this year, guys! And remember, always be looking for a good photo opportunity for next year's calendar! ;D CafePress really is a great tool, I'll look into making some more products for it. Maybe some coffee mugs, t shirts, who knows!

Finally! Ordered mine and can't wait to see it Hm, I didn't after all buy it - it says there's something wrong with the connection/server/something else and doesn't let me pay. I'll try again tomorrow then
