18 MONDAY-JUNE 1973
169TH DAY-196 DAYS TO COME

At main library in Pittsburgh saw a listing for
NEW GAMES TO PLAY by Juel Krisvoy. It was not in-
it was a circulation book. They had AGOG listed.
At Kaufmann's dept. store bought a Whitman game- RELATE.

Rcd. an ad from "Spartan International, Inc." for a convention
at Hotel McAlpin. Among other things mentioned LENSMAN,
SINK THE BISMARCK, RICHTNOFEN'S WAR, and NUCLEAR DESTRUCTION.
(Filed in "NFFF, Nost, etc folder.")

(cont. from 6/19) [6/21]
THE GODFATHER GAME was a failure according to the
people they interviewed. (But someone in the audience
pointed out how many had been sold.)
TV advertising for a specific game can help all games.
In the afternoon saw a seminar billed as "Stop the World-
Our [illegible strikeout] Consumer's Gotten Off!"- but all it was was an
ad plug for the agency.
At the earlier seminar for a folder on "Pilot Study of Dealers'
Appraisal of the Games Industry." Also got one fro for Felicia.
Rcd. a call from Walter Dykowski (later learned from Dale that he had
called New York first). He asked about the show and finally de-
cided to drive in tomorrow. He'll contact me when he gets in.
At the cocktail party I spoke to Kieth Tuggle and some other
people. BB spoke to Allan Calhamer and Earl Doherty's wife.
Also some of the girls connected with the show.
I spoke to Earl & Alfons earlier in the day. The package
with HABITAT, GROOVE, and the two versions of KGB were sent to me
about 2 weeks ago. They [illegible strikeout] will send me a copy of the new
version of RAT RACE.
Spoke to Earl a little at the cocktail party.
Towards the end of the party Larry was being interviewed and I
heard ACQUIRE mentioned. I came over and Larry introduced
me to a reporter from the "Chicago News Bureau" (which feeds stories
to all local media. He interviewed me later.
A asked Larry to send me any clippings about me or my games.
He said he'd do it - sometimes.
[drawing of two arrows. One pointed up and one pointed down] [Started 6/21]
Bought CHICAGO TODAY which had an article on the show. Men-
tioned ACQUIRE, with other games.
