TUESDAY 2 FEBRUARY 1971
Groundhog Day
Purification B.V. Mary
33rd day - 332 days to come
Called Carl Eisenberg. He couldn't raise the financing to
keep Everyone Products alive. I'll call him next week
about picking up MANHATTAN MADNESS. When I go there he'll
tell me about the difficulties in getting it to price out.
Felicia called. Because of the success that Urban Systems
has been having with SMOG and DIRTY WATER she suggested
that I come up with a GAME on recycling. She spoke
to Jerry Dougherty and he is wild about the idea.
Jerry told her that we should have an answer from
Continental on GO SEE quite soon. She saw their presentation
and read me the covering letter.
She is worried because the model of TORTS - THE GAME OF LAWSUITS
didn't come back from 3M for Gary Sherbell to work on.
Impact is close to signing a contract giving them the rights
to licensing [illegible crossed out] material pertaining to the play, and
movie to come, "Sleuth". Felicia told Jerry about my game
SLEUTH. He said, "There goes a lawsuit". Felicia and I
agreed that's 3M's problem.
A second call from Felicia. She asked what our financial
arrangement was concerning GO SEE. I told her 75% - 25%,
with my 75% being split with Ruth Shaler. She said she
gets a 50 - 50 split on her other premium deals, and
that from now on each deal would be negotiated seperately.
[Red pencil bracket indicates that the following happened on 2/3]
Rcd. a letter from Lech Pijanowski, much more pleasant. He
suggested working together on games for the American
market. He sent ideas for two games: THE TURNING GAME
and THE FEEDBACK GAME, and a puzzle called
STRING PUZZLE. He asked for the rules to
HAAR HOOLIM PERCEPTION GAMES (I have an reproduction extra set.)
and also for copies of my published games.
Felicia sent me a clipping from the Times on recycling.
She also called me and said that Jerry said that
once I came up with something he would get a
decision from Coca Cola within two weeks. Maybe I'll
do two games: a simple one for Coca Cola, and a
strategic one to try with 3M.
