We have the third part of the three-part Dowland we’ve been working
on, so we’ll probably spend the bulk of the meeting trying to make the
whole thing sound like music. In addition we’ll continue working on
the two drinking songs we’re trying to get performable.
In addition, we have several things to decide:
- I have the first copy of the Cafepress edition of the Drinking
Songs book Since I no longer
have double-sided printing capability, we have to decide how we’re
going to deal with acquiring multiple copies of “finished” books. The
possibilities include:- Buying in bulk from Cafepress. In this case, they would cost in
the vicinity of $6 each if I order a few, and can probably be brought
under $5 if I order as many as 15. It’s close to $10 to order an
individual copy with shipping. - Copying double-sided at Kinko’s or somewhere and me binding with
my comb binding machine. I’m not sure how much this costs, but I
think it’s comparable to the bulk pricing at Cafepress, which also
includes a nice color cover. - Someone with “free” xeroxing copying double sided, and me binding
with my comb binding machine. This is obviously the cheapest way to
get new books, if there’s someone with a good setup for doing this. - For this book, we have almost up-to-date copies which we can paste
in edited versions of the pages that have changed. This might be the
right solution for this book, but won’t work for the Dowland third
book or the Pilgrim’s Solace.
- Buying in bulk from Cafepress. In this case, they would cost in
- Do we meet next week? I don’t have a conflict, and it might be
fun to invite people who are in town for the early music festival to
come join us. But I understand if people are overscheduled that week
without this meeting. - I want to put out a flyer describing our group on the flyers table
at BEMF. I’m about to take a crack at editing the current flyer,
which no longer really describes the group very well. But if anyone
else has ideas, let me know. In any case, I’ll have a trial version
for proofreading, editing, etc. tonight. - I’ve sent information to at least some of you about the Wort
Processors’ Summer picnic on June 25. We need to decide whether we’re
playing, and if so, what. We might make the June 21
meeting “performers only” if we decide to play.
I believe both Anne and Ishmael will be coming from another
commitment and will be a bit late, so maybe the official start time
for this one should be 8 PM.
