    I think we need to recognize that not only did the superb M/A Calendar arrive with no lame excuses, but its creator performed most of the supporting administrivia whilst laid up or restricted to a hospital gown, no doubt shuffling along and pushing an IV bag stand at times, then embarking on a rigorous physical therapy regimen; later with ribs wrapped in bandages, and all the while under the influence of mind-altering pain killers, at times necessitating calls for local assistance just to lift and move materials...

    ...and yet here we are, all holding and extremely happy with our product.

    Such a contrast in business sense. :Thumbsup:

    $1.00 from each sale made went to the Rally MINI down in Costa Rica. That is a darn good cause.


    I did reach out to Kelli with the intent of opening a dialog about the possibility for next year.

    My model release is real simple. I ask permission first. The terms are a calendar, shipped anywhere in the world. More can be ordered at the lowest presale price at anytime by that person, shipping is always included.

    Hmmm, they were able to sell about 1000? Considering there was no NAM calender this year, the price is lower and it was pimped really heavily all over facetweetagramtrister that sucks. With a hella lot less promotion M/A has moved 496 this year. There are 4 left folks....

    Thanks for the vote of confidence. It does help to buoy the spirit.

    To set a few things straight. Ribs are no longer bandaged. They want you to breathe, cough, laugh and sneeze.

    I appreciate all the help in lifting and moving stuff. Y'all have been rather tolerant of my not quite hasty manner this year. I sure do appreciate that too.

    But this thread isn't about me or my business practices, it is to point out what a farce MC2 Magazine has become.

    They are in the toilet now but barry did not pay the water bill so he can't flush the toilet.

    I've reached out to the protagonist that had the initial idea. We may collaborate on the 2016 calendar.

    Come on guys, no need to disparage the gals that thought they were doing something positive. It's just they got caught in Barry the Bad's web of BS.

    Nate, Nate, Nate....C'mon now, no one is safe here. Not Mother Theresa, The Pope, Ghandi, and certainly not Barry's red carpet models.

    Any bets if they get the year correct for the calendar?

    If they manage that, any bets that all 12 months will be there, and/or in the correct order?

    Well Barry did lend a cow to our charity; to stay true to MC2, it was a MINI cow. We did get charged several thousand dollars for grazing fees, and the cow was 2 months late, but we did get it!

    The bad: The milk smells really, really, bad; nobody will drink it.
