To keep it going would be awesome..Scans work too though..Like Barb said,better than nothing.
I`m not actually sure if it`s faster to send it around in scandinavia first but i would think so..It makes sense..

Oh totally! I want to keep it going for as long as possible. Even re-sending it to melons that would like to add more or just read what others have added. I just put to send it back to me after the ones that have signed up so that it has somewhere to go to and I can scan the entries then send it back out. sorry too about the way i did the list with Joel, Barb and hanna. However you guys would like to do it to make it easier for eachother.. feel free. There's no rules.

How about we make it that you are not allowed to post pages from the book on the net, but you are allowed to discuss it... It gives the book a mysterious vibe, and also creates a need to have it, to read it and contribute, and then send it on to another lusting over it... Like the Holy Grail for Melonheads...

But when we run out of pages? where will volume 1 go... we could publish it and distribute it at the Vigil... "Melonhead Tales - Volume 1"... etc... Does anyone know how to get a book published?

Does anyone know how to get a book published? ooohh i love the sound of that!.. I have no idea how to do it but i hope somebody does,and hopefully everyone who is participating in this contributes a little money so we can get it published..Distribute volume one at the vigil is a great idea..How many pages is this journal btw??..I hope we don`t run out of pages after the first round.

I'd be will to throw in a little cash to help get it published. I know there's places that you can pay a certian amount of $ to publish X amount of books.

I don't have much money, but I'd pitch in whatever couple of bucks I could scrounge up toward getting it published! Who knows, this could turn into some kind of cult classic-- especially after the band totally takes over the world with all the huge hits they're going to make! And it would be really cool to have it available at the vigil for ALL the melons, even those unfortunate ones who aren't here on the forum to know about our big plans. I think any true melonhead would get a kick out of seeing what everyone has done with it!

If everyone contributes as much as they can i`m sure we can get it published..
This journal is going straight to the Melonhead Hall Of Fame...

You can do a small printing for a few hundred dollars...but that may be text only...it costs more if you have pictures in it. That's just from a little bit of research.

I tried to get a small story published, back in 1999... straight/small text. It came to about 6,000. I said... Thanks, but no thanks.

^^ However, the book would have reached bookstores all over the country.

I'm sure it would be cheaper if you were just printing a few hundred for us forum kids. At least I hope it would be.

It would be cheaper...if you had them printed and distributed them yourselves.
Matt, are your pubes also going in the journal or just in the swapbox? Inquiring minds want to know...
