Are You The Datekeeper?
Just over a year ago, Woot’s Art Director approached his staff and asked how they’d feel about doing a calendar. Most of them said it’d be fine, as long as they could pick their own stylists and there’d be no topless shots. No, our Art Director clarified: I meant you would draw one, you mushy-headed drunks. And, while he didn’t have to be so mean about it, everyone agreed that that made more sense.
So we ground out a dozen stupid pictures and all through 2008, month after month, made them available for free on our “blog” as replacement calendar art for people who’d made bad calendar-purchasing decisions at the end of ‘07. (Hello, Rudy Giuliani “Countdown to Victory” calendar owners!)
Now, at last, our year-long calendar project culminates in a full-sized, professionally printed wall calendar you can buy. It features high-quality reproductions of our original artwork, elegant saddle-stitching, and is annotated with most major U.S. holidays and the phases of the moon, which will be handy for you werewolves. It also includes several special Woot Milestone Days (like the date of our very first Bag o’ Crap) that you can celebrate in your own private way. What’s more, every page has been… well, if not exactly proofread, at least given a cursory going-over by our famously inexpensive quality control department.
Now, some of you—the two or three who occasionally look at our web-log—are probably going to ask, “why would I pay good money for just the same pictures you already gave away as free downloads?” Well, for one thing, these are totally remastered. By which we mean our illustration staff went through last year’s images and changed all the 2008s in every picture to 2009s. So they’re completely different now. Plus you don’t have to print them out yourself anymore. Finally, a certain percentage of every purchase price will be donated to finding homes for young mahi-mahi orphaned by the commercial fishing industry*.
2009 is going to be great, can’t you tell already? And thanks to this new calendar soon to be adorning your cubicle, locker, dorm room or prison cell, you can spend the whole year together with Woot! Nice, right?
Yeah, yeah, your heart’s in a whirl, we can tell.
*The certain percentage is 0.
