Call from <u>Felicia</u>. <u>Tom Shaw</u> told her they were taking <u>HIGH BID</u> | |||
and now are starting on an evaluation of <u>BAZAAR</u>. Told her that I'd | |||
write to Tom tomorrow - she wants a carbon for her files. | |||
<br>We talked about the Hallmark royalty. I said that it undoubtedly | |||
was a close-out, but at least it was nice that they paid royalties. | |||
Call from <u>Barbara Weinstein</u>. The affair on 5/15 doesn't require | |||
any preparation by me. Just be there. | |||
Call from <u>Wald</u>. He talked about a NYGA [New York Games Association] meeting, but he was really | |||
interested in coming over to give me a sales pitch for his new line- | |||
selling insurance. He said they were told not to try to sell friends, | |||
but to get referrals from friends. Told him - very truthfully - | |||
that I was much too busy for the next month or so. | |||
Call from a business-entrepreneur {<u>Ira Zalbe</u> [address] | |||
who is interested in starting a magazine | |||
devoted to games. Told him <s>that</s> about | |||
<u>G&P</u>. He asked if I could give him some | |||
copies. No - I only have 1 of each. He wanted me to come down to | |||
his office in the next day or so, but I said that I would be | |||
tied up, at least thru the end of May. If I see a few free | |||
hours when I will be downtown I'll contact him about dropping | |||
in - and bringing him some copies of G&P to show him. | |||
Called Collingwood Hotel and made reservation for <u>Graeme Levin</u>. He | |||
has to be there by 4 on 5/15, or a deposit is req'd [required]. | |||
While <u>Phil Orbanes</u> was here we played | |||
his new version of <u>THE SKYE'S THE LIMIT</u>. | |||
The board is as shown. | |||
[drawing of a board consisting of columns numbered 1-4 with 3 rows of cards in each column. Each card has a large number and a smaller number printed at the top of the card. The cards are numbered (large number/small number) as follows: column 1 row 1 - 2/10, 4/20; column 1 row 2 - 1/5, 6/20; column 1 row 3 - 3/15, 5/25; column 2 row 1 - 1/5, 2/10, 8/40; column 2 row 2 - 6/30, 7/35; column 2 row 3 - 3/15, 4/20; column 3 row 1 - 4/26, 3/15; column 3 row 2 - 7/35, 6/30; column 3 row 3 - 8/40, 2/10, 1/5; column 4 row 1 - 5/25, 3/15; column 4 row 2 - 6/30, 1/5; column 3 row 3 - 4/20, 2/10; additionally there is one card between column 2 and column 3 in row 2 numbered 10/50] | |||
