(BB left to come back in the afternoon- bought 4 yands of contact for me.) Discussed the matter of royalties fourst. They preferred not to. pay them and would rather pay a flat amount. Felicia said that a flat fee è would be in the neighborhood of $25,000, Jerry said that didn't really leave them any choice. He also... asked if royalties really went to that amount, I said that they definitely do. showed them FREE FORM, TOTALLY --, TROMINO GO®, PAY OFF (they didn't look at this since they think that party games have passed their peak), TANGLED WEB, DATA, and MAVERICK COUNTRY?
