Sulky,

Sulky,

I'm glad I'm not the only one with a problem...

Peas in a pod, you and I, peas in a pod....

Okay, all...

Have made some minor changes, more to come (lacklustre, made the change to your poem that you suggested)---

C'mon, kick my ASS, guys!! BE PICKY & NASTY (I'm my own worst critic, but even I miss some of the boo-boos!)

It is still brilliant Sulky. The hat remains doffed.

Just looking at the Rope Leash dedication, does this now have to be changed to take Radio Silence out as the last track ie From Welcome to the Working Week to I'm in the Mood Again (or North or Impatience)?

Sulky,

Ok, I'm dashing to pack for a much needed vacation, but this is what I have found.....geez....

Do you prefer:

Ticket Stub Contributions

----or-----

Ticket Stub Contributors

Since you are listing names, might be better saying the latter.

The line: from the pen of 'Otis.....

From needs to be capitalized.

In Otis's section, it may be me again, but is there a space between September and 2002...if not, should be...

Under A Note to Mr. Costello.........

...use of)------it looks as if there is a space between of and )--shouldn't be.

Under lacklustre's comments....the first line is the website of http://www.elviscostellofans.com---after this, should there be a period, as in a sentence? Or, is this an introduction to the following poem? If so, do we want to use a : ?

Picky, picky, picky!!!

I'm taking my laptop with me, so at night when I'm pretending I'm dead from exhaustion, I can check more, if ya need me to, assuming my computer decides to cooperate....

Thank you Sulky...you have a hard job appeasing the masses....

To Misha..thanks for the edits!!

Here's what's been done, again, can be viewed at:

re: Ticket Stub Contributions vs. Contributors --
The change has been made & uploaded.

re: The line: from the pen of 'Otis.....
Lower case "from" stays, is an element of the assembled layout.

re: Otis's section...
The space between September and 2002 has been added/uploaded.

re: A Note to Mr. Costello.........
The imagined space is just a flaw in my graphics editor, nothing I can do to remedy.

re: lacklustre's comments....
It's the first line of the actual poem, not an introduction. Remains as is.

Come & get me, guys & gals!!
More!

Two additional pages to be posted soon (print order allows for 4, 8, or 12 pages...no more input as of yet, please!!)

At any rate, printing a 10-page (as opposed to a 12-page) booklet is VERY problemental.

Love & Kisses---

a slightly exhausted sulky girl

And, YES!! I will CONTINUE to use these damned emoticons!!

Sulky,
We could probably go on forever nit-picking this for proper grammar/punctuation. For sure there are many places where you need to weigh formal grammar (as per the NYTimes Style Guide) with colloquial usage. But since you've asked...

I found this in a grammar book re the use of quotation marks:
Single Quotation Marks

In the United States, we use single quotation marks [ ‘ ’ ] to enclose quoted material (or the titles of poems, stories, articles) within other quoted material:

example:
"Did she ask, 'What's going on?'"

It continues this way:
British practice is quite different. In fact, single-quote marks and double-quote marks are apt to be reversed in usage.

So on the right hand page of the section with the stubs in the background the opening sentence should be (US usage):

"LTZ, don't you mean, 'He would have been.....properly!' ?"

I'd be happy to look through this carefully (instead of hit-or-miss as I'm doing now), and send you a list. You can then decide how proper you want to be.

To change the subject slightly, there's a sentence on the OW page that I can't understand:

"It was clear that the range of music that informs Costello made for an..."

Is there a word missing after Costello? Or am I just not getting it?

Well for the moment...I'm going back to the TV and the Red Sox game.
Back to this later.

Keep us posted on the new page additions, and I'll be all over 'em.....picky, picky, picky!!

You can use as many emoticons as you want!!

Hey sulky...are you going to put some kind of graphic on the disk itself?

I guess that's an additional expense, and time consuming. Innit?

sulkygirl · Post by **sulkygirl** » Tue Oct 14, 2003 6:11 pm

Actually (if I ever DO get my computer back...'nother story), yes. That's where you'll get to see all of the tickets stubs in full, BLAZING color.

No expense to be spared for our man, ya know.

laughingcrow · Post by **laughingcrow** » Wed Oct 15, 2003 3:17 pm

Sounds good....I hope your computer recovers.

sulkygirl · Post by **sulkygirl** » Wed Oct 15, 2003 3:29 pm

Not a problem w/the computer, per say...just moved, have to retrieve it from my former residence, and have a land-line hooked up at the new place (sometime next Thursday). so will be doing the majority of my communications from work, if (and when) things are slow.

Windows 98 SE...if it ain't broke, don't fix it!!

Sulky,

I'll be a waitin' with my blue pen at the ready!!....

I just had another look at these graphics. First off - they are great, really well done, Sulky, brilliant.
Just one thing struck me - the two quotes from the Epitaphs for Elvis thread - although both funny , I think maybe we should change them to quotes from a thread a little less morbid.
I mean - it will probably freak the guy out getting a fan disk anyway without us seeming like some sort of "death cult"

.
I mean - there must be plenty of other great quotes from the board - by the same posters even. What do you think?

sulkygirl · Post by **sulkygirl** » Fri Oct 31, 2003 11:40 pm

Yeah, could probably do without that...will see if I have time to get to it this weekend.

sulkygirl · Post by **sulkygirl** » Fri Oct 31, 2003 11:52 pm

I mean, will remove the section under storm's quote about it being from the epitaphs, thread, but the quotes stay...

The actual section is (if you can picture the graphics laid out properly, which is impossible to do until completion), this section is entitile "Enigmas, Epiphanies, and Epitaphs", not just "Epitaphs"...

Misha · Post by **Misha** » Fri Nov 21, 2003 1:28 am

Sulky,,,

I'm waiting for the new graphics...

***taps her foot impatiently***

sulkygirl · Post by **sulkygirl** » Fri Nov 21, 2003 5:42 pm

Only "New" graphic (I think) will be the label itself, maybe another 2 to balance out the booklet, but will need to wait for track lists, credits, etc.

sulkygirl · Post by **sulkygirl** » Tue Jan 27, 2004 3:18 pm

Okay...

Don't look yet, but making changes to CD booklet layout over the next few days (stay tuned!!)

We do need to extra pages (can't print a 10 page booklet, must be increments of 4, so now going to 12), just waiting for some input from "The Producer" (i.e., Blue Chair) about the remaining layout.

Have made some of the suggested changes (Veronica, Mike), and others to come.

can't wait to see them, SG--and nice to see you around again too!

sulkygirl · Post by **sulkygirl** » Wed Jan 28, 2004 2:33 pm

Have been around, just recently quit my shitty job, busy trying to find another...anyway, it's giving me some time to work on this & get it completed (i hope-i hope-i hope)...
