Fortune cookies, etc.
Well, between 2007-07-17 and 2007-07-18, I managed to make several calls following up on recommended bakeries for having fortune cookies made up with custom BALUG message inside them.
Here's a (legible) write-up from my notes and associated memory:
Golden Gate Fortune Cookies Co. 56 Ross Alley San Francisco, CA 94108-1204 1-415-781-3956 just got data (modem?) answers 2007-07-17 ... much better 2007-07-18 1-415-781-3956 --> call 1-415-399-9129 ask for Jennifer individual wrap (I asked for pricing on individual wrap - I figure if we're passing them out at LinuxWorld we'd almost certainly want them individually wrapped) cookie + printing costs ... individual wrap $20 per 100 cookies (doesn't include printing) printing costs (custom message, same message in all cookies - I figure we can probably do the same message in all cookies - simpler, possibly less expensive, and folks will be less inclined to hoard the cookies for their "different" fortunes if they've all got the same message inside). $35.00 for qty. 500 $75.00 for qty. 5000 I was mostly asking about qty. 500 to 5000 - we're fairly likely to be somewhere in that range (or perhaps higher if we come up with support $$). That would be a total, of e.g. $135.00 for 500 $1,075.00 for 5000 (presumably that's not including any applicable taxes). lead time - need approximately one week
Mee Mee Bakery 1328 Stockton St. San Francisco, CA 94133-3807 1-415-362-3204 ... ask for manager ... $40.00 per 100 cookies (again, individually wrapped, includes printed custom message (all the same) in each) 10% off at qty 5000 e.g.: $200.00 for 500 $1,800.00 for 5000 (presumably that's not including any applicable taxes). lead time - 3 to 4 days message - 32 spaces/characters per line, 3 lines

this is a great idea. i'm up for contributing $$ i suppose quality of cookie should not be an issue and price should govern choice of purveyor, yes? How to make this happen?
