WEDNESDAY 17 DECEMBER 1969
Ember Day
351st Day - 14 days to come
Called Armin Speer. Gave him the address of the THE GAMESLETTER. He rcd. the copy of S&T that Jim sent him. Told him that I still hadn't had chance to try QUADS.
The final patent I ordered 10/6 came.
Dec. TOYS & NOVELTIES came. In new products mentioned BOTTOMS UP, an adult game about college. (Apparently not the drinking game of the same name.) (I'll have to write for a review copy for S&T.
Morris brought me the VENTURE ad from Dec. Reader's Digest and a 3M booklet from Dec. McCall's. (Filed in 1969 Ad Clips.)
To Jerry Dougherty at Impact. Played TROMINO GO, about 8 games, and he loved it. He was not that much impressed with THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS, although we hardly tried it. He said that even if Enjay did decide to use the games, the earliest we could get any money was the end of 1970.
I told him the story behind INTERPLAY, ODD OR EVEN, and TEMPO and why I couldn't give Felicia a cut on them. He agreed.
He gave me a carbon of the letter of agreement concerning the Enjay games, and a letter to mail to Felicia with 2 copies for her. He'll be there Friday to talk to her a-bout it, as well as other things.
(cont. from 12/28) [12/29]
The ad Martin Gardner sent me went:
7 Sophisticated Adult Games. Here are the games people are playing from Westport to Malibu. The "in games invented by swingers and popularized by the jet set. From "Sensitivity" to "Odd Pieces," all seven are imaginative, intimate, exciting - and as contemporary as the latest Off-Broadway show. They take you as far as you may want to go. But the less venture-some can get off at any stop along the way. They are perfect for parties - and will make a party in a moment. There are no boards, cards or pieces involved. All that is required is the spirit of adventure. And any number can play from two to twenty-two.
