A 54 page calendar with photographs from BGG users. BoardGameCalendar.com

This blog chronicles my quest to publish and sell a weekly desk calendar that highlights 54 different creative photographs that have been uploaded by BGG users. You can order the calendar at boardgamecalendar.com.
Like everyone else I talked to, I had a great time at BGG Con. The endless stream of games was great. Battling Tops was over the top in the best way possible. The game show was remarkable. The highlight for me personally was a game of Junta that started at 1am and ended at 5am.
As I posted earlier, I was hoping to promote the board game calendar a little. I was shocked by the number of people who already heard of it. A number of people came up to me and said they had read about the calendar on BGG and thought it was a great idea. I even met some of the people who have photographs featured in the calendar.
It was weird to be walking down the hall and hear someone say, "Hey, are the guy who made the calendar?" Even when I was eating at Hard Eights, someone stopped me to say hi and chat about the calendar. Even better, he stopped me again later to give me cash for a calendar.
My first few blog posts must have been too pessimistic. Often I was asked if I was actually going to get the calendar printed. The answer is yes, yes, yes. I have sent files to the printer and approved the proof. They should be shipping calendars to me soon, and then I will be able to ship them on to the dozens of people who have already ordered one. If you were waiting to place an order because you didn't know for sure it is was really going to happen, then wait no more. Order a calendar at boardgamecalendar.com.
If you talked to me about the calendar at BGG Con, then thank you. It's very encouraging to hear that other people like what you are working on.
If we played games together at BGG Con, then thank you. I got to play some of my favorites with new people and some games that I have been wanting to try for a long time.
