pie!

A few weeks ago I asked the interwebs for help and got none. I’ve continued my hunt to find a large version of  this killer kitty with pie on his mind and I’ve come up with a plan.

Today, I went ahead and ordered the $1 post card that’s for sale at Buy Olympia (which ended up being $5.99 after shipping!) and I am going to do a few things. I am going to scan it as a humongous file and save it on a thumb drive, I’m also going to take a picture of it saved in RAW format and save that as well. Then I’m taking this thumb drive and the post card itself to Richmond Camera and see what they can do for me. If it’s a success, I will be happy to send you the big file that worked so you can do the same at your local print shop, since I know a few of you have been waiting for an update.

I’ll keep you posted on what’s going on as soon as the post card gets here!

Are you aware of the Canadian origin of the expression? It has even been given the Snopes.com treatment!

That makes it so much better! Thanks for sharing! I had no idea! Just figured it was a slogan used in diners back in the day! Adorable!

Okay people! Here’s what happened!
I took the postcard and image on a usb stick to Richmond Camera. I did the big mistake of showing the lady the post card first. She flipped it over and saw the copyright on the back and said they wouldn’t do it for me. So, I went to Walgreens, scanned the postcard and did a $15 20″x30″ photo print! Easy peasy!
