a marketing genius is born!

I was IMing with Gretchen the other day about our upcoming album. She asked if all 3 discs were going to be available as a boxed set.

After much thought, and a high fever, we have come up with the following:

Yes, Virginian - If you purchase all 3 of our CDs from our website, you will also recieve a bonus slipcase for them.

This will be hand-crafted of 100% recycled cardboard and duct tape, with the Minstrosity logo carefully mis-spelled on the outside. In crayon.

The good news is that I think it will improve sales.

The bad news is that I will probably end up making hundreds of the blasted things, and then it won't be funny any more....

I'd say "you brought it on yourself", but I fear all three of us will be cranking these things out...

*Giggle* Oh, you're so silly... but still. Dagnabbit. Now I just might have to buy the two CDs I have all over again for this.

not to discourage you from giving us more money, but I suspect we will end up having downloadable plans and instructions on the website for those who already have TTM and OF.

I'd love to have like the 600th box set, you know the one thats really personalized with a stick figure giving me the finger and the unintelligible rantings scrawled across it. ;-)

heeheee! you've got a computer? make stickers! that way you don't have to scribble at all! :) or make a do-it-yourself "box" boxed set - just put all the flattened paper parts in the envelope with the CD's & mail it. :) can ya tell i'm gettin' sleepy? (((HUGS))) Gretchen (yes, I want a set, too) :D

Ah. The very reason I never went into crafts as a sideline. As soon as you make something clever once, you HAVE TO KEEP DOING IT TO MAKE ANY MONEY. So, no. Shall we have a tape drive (stop groaning, Jake) for you?

I want one!

Ok, I'll be easy... I don't even have to have the box for the set, but seeing as how neither Topher or I have any of your CDs, I should rectify this. However, I don't think I'm going to be able to afford them until Duckon. (no, I won't be at Cap this year, got too much else to do) Would you be willing to deliver them to me in June?? Yeah, I'm cheap and I'd rather not pay for shipping either.

Dearie, they won't be ready for Cap anyway. It takes TIME to put one of these jobbies together. Mostly it takes time to make money to pay for each stage of the process. Couple of grand by the time all is said and done.

I don't always make it to Duckon - it depends on our tour schedule. If we get into one of the dueling Minnesota shows ::crossing fingers:: that would be most of June. Never fear, though - we will finds a way!
