THURSDAY 25 JUNE | |||
1970 176th day - 189 days to come | |||
---- | |||
<u>Brian Blake</u> called. Told him I had a breakthru on the | |||
Memory <u>GAME</u> and that I'd try to get a rough model | |||
put together over the 4th of July weekend. | |||
<u>Felicia</u> called. She had a letter from <u>Bill Caruson</u> which she | |||
read to me. "They are 100% sold on <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u>. | |||
<u>Keith Tuggle</u> is finishing the costing prior to presenting | |||
it to management. The contract should come in July." | |||
"Sales of the games were good thru May. They were soft in | |||
June but they expect a good year." | |||
Felicia sent <u>KRYPTO</u> to X and I mentioned that they | |||
wouldn't take it and <u>DIGIT</u> too. She said that she had | |||
to give the client what he asked for & I agreed. | |||
Western (<u>Tom Mason</u> - I think) sent her an article (from | |||
their house organ - I believe) on <u>GHETTO</u>. She'll reproduce it | |||
for me before sending the original to X. | |||
<u>Jim Goldsberry</u> has sent her large forms to fill out for | |||
her monthly report to X. | |||
In the letter from Western they said that the upgrading of | |||
<u>FOCUS</u> was in the words and the answer is expected in a | |||
few months. | |||
They definitely want her to show them things and they | |||
will give royalties. (Even tho <u>Natalie Donna</u> got only | |||
$1000 for <u>FLINGERS</u>. Felicia was glad that she cashed her | |||
check for $750.) | |||
Y cancelled the meeting on Tuesday. Will set another one | |||
soon. | |||
Felicia asked if I had any info on <u>LIFT OFF</u> by | |||
the Dixie Game Co. X is bugging her about it. | |||
She tried to call <u>Rudy Lopez</u> about my helping him with | |||
<u>LIVE WIRE</u>. No answer. She'll write to him. | |||
Called Mickie Mackay. Supposed to call back but didn't. | |||
To <u>Pete Gerstein</u>'s. Two of his partners were there. They are | |||
all young kids. We discussed their ideas for a store special- | |||
izing in games. I voiced a doubt whether there was enough | |||
volume in such a specialized store. They are now trying to raise | |||
the money (and wouldn't have minded if I had offered some). | |||
I said that I would work with them and if any compensation | |||
was involved I would take it in stock rather than cash, which | |||
they seemed to apreciate. Incidentally I told them that they | |||
shouldn't have used my name without my prior approval, but that | |||
