Good, alright! I thought this was about to fizzle out.
So here\'s what we need help with...
1.
Remixing (or whatever you audio guys call this) the audio, sort of like was done for "Live As Is". We need it to fit on 2 CDs and split at setbreak hopefully. GLuft, maybe you can help me with this and coordinate whatever needs to be done here with the AV crew? Maybe it\'s already good to go as is, I don\'t know. Sounds fantastic already so I doubt much needs to be done here, but I\'ll leave this to the experts.
2.
Artwork. Well, I\'m a graphic designer. Was sort of looking forward to this to be honest
... if somebody can get me a high res working file of the new logo on
http://www.thebreakfast.org that would come in real handy.
3.
Buying & Burning the CDs. We will want to have the CDs have some art on them too, like Ken does for his DVDs. What is this Ken, Lightscribe? Please inform me as to what specifications the graphics for the CD itself need be in. If people want to pitch in money it will go mostly towards buying blank CDs and jewel cases. I want to look into alternative style jewel cases to the typical fat plastic double CD case... something with recycled paper and in perhaps a more compact form factor. This should also help curb expenses.
4.
Printing. I have to check with our printer to see what costs are and various form factor options may be for the case. This will likely be cheaper than you think, but the idea is to print a lot of them. Fortunately, printing costs work on a backwards exponential curve in relation to quantity.
5.
Money. Which will go towards buying CDs, jewel cases, and printing costs. If anyone here is loaded and likes this idea a lot, this might be where you can help the most.
Thanks guys!
edit: Okay, regarding printing and
jewel cases. I do not have a hookup for fancy fold-out paperboard style double CD cases. So we are just going to need to do a bulk buy of blank regular double CD jewel cases, and then I can do the printing for the inserts on this.
Can anyone find better jewel case pricing than this?

I\'m thinking we should start with 1000, or maybe more if people pitch in more (a few thousand would be pretty cool... it\'s looking like it may end up costing about $0.75 each, give or take a little, to produce these), and we can always easily print & burn more when we need them.
edit again: regarding
blank CDs... apparently either thermal or inkjet printable CDs are way cheaper than Lightscribe printable CDs. We can get inkjet/thermal ones for about $0.25/each, vs twice that much for lightscribe. I assume Ken is using an inkjet or thermal printer? So does that mean we have access to this equipment?

printing of CD inserts... to save costs we will want to do a single or double panel 4.75" insert. Album art on the front and track-listing and other info on the back. This only costs me about $100.00 (single panel) or $150.00 (double panel, or two-fold) to print 1000 of these on recycled paper. I\'ll cover this and the design. So we just need people to buy blank CDs and jewel cases and help with the printing on the CDs themselves. I\'ll probably go for double panel as it will be more fun to design and look less "bootleg".
