<br>Called Harry. He will be back in town on 7/9 and then will go to
Europe before the end of the month. I said that I'd pick up the model
this week and have the preliminary rules written by the time he
gets back. He'll call me as soon as he gets back.
<br>2nd call to check on the financial details. Reiss will give Harry
10% royalties. We will split this .8 to him and .2 to me. We both agreed
that we prefer to have Reiss send us separate checks. I
asked and Harry said he is getting a $1500 advance. Also a claude
that if the game is not out in 6 months it goes back to Harry.
<br>Called Manny and told him I'd pick up the model tomorrow. I told him
about the separate checks, but he said nothing has been signed
yet.
<br>I asked if he had done any thinking about <u>FIGHT CITY HALL</u>.
No, but he'd like to talk about it when I come in tomorrow.
