Downtown to meet <u>Bob Gellman</u> and a photographer <u>Martine Gilcrest</u> at a restaurant. Discussed <u>GO SEE</u> and a possible new name.

To the studio and home of Joan, who does art work for Research Games. Bob & I discussed <u>JET HOLIDAY</u>. He <s>told me</s> will probably get slides from Martine to use for the cards. She will let him use them at $25 each if he includes a <s>illegible</s> flier for possible purchases by game buyers of her travel slides (which is one of her businesses) if her business agent concurs. Otherwise she wanted $100 each. <br>

He again said that he is doing <u>JET HOLIDAY</u> because he wants me to think of him when I have a game. He doesn't expect me to show it to him before 3M, but possibly next. I said that if they wanted a game on any subject I would work on it just for him. He said that his partner could come up with a game if they had a subject. <br>
