"By-the-way, thank-you, THANK-you, THANK-YOU, for the copies of your games. I've been by Lori's house a few times since the con, one night we sat and played the Aquarius game for about 5 hours straight. When it finally hit 2am we decided to call it quits. We have, in small groups, been playing everything. Thank-you for allowing us to demo your games. (I think Aquarius will soon catch Fluxx as a favourite pick up game.)" -- Joseph of Game Base 7

A Visit From Ali

This is Ali Summers, our new Sales Guru! She lives in California, but this week she's living at Wunderland.Earth, starting to dig in with Kristin to figure out how she can help us upgrade our Sales Department. Ali has oodles of experience in the game industry -- in fact, years ago she worked for several of our distributors, so she already has experience selling our games! She now works as an independent Sales consultant, doing business under the name Completely Fearless Marketing.

Anyway, she's just arrived, so there ain't much else to say just now. She and Kristin have been working non stop since she arrived - it reminds me of that time years ago when Leslie came to live with us for a few weeks. Here we see her getting her first introduction to SuperFRED the night she arrived... they are quickly becoming good friends.

Well, that's about all I have to report. It's been kind of a "catching-up and getting-ready for what's next" kind of week. But as usual, we've got lots of cool new stuff brewing, so don't forget to come back next week! (Hopefully I'll finally have the Official Guide to Looney Labs Promo Cards finished by then...)

Have a great week!

	"Scientists at Johns Hopkins University who last year published a frightening and controversial report suggesting that a single evening's use of the illicit drug ecstasy could cause permanent brain damage and Parkinson's disease are retracting their research in its entirety, saying the drug they used in their experiments was not ecstasy after all."
	Our military apparently has huge piles of radioactive shell casings! "Cobalt jackets will not likely ever be used. They're for a situation where the U.S. government is crumbling during a time of war, and foreign takeover is imminent. We won't capitulate. We basically have a scorched earth policy. If we are going to lose, we arm everything with cobalt -- and I mean everything; we have jackets at nearly every missile magazine in the world, on land or at sea -- and contaminate the world. If we can't have it, nobody can." -- an anonymous clearance-holder, as reported by Paul Krassner in "The Heavy Stuff"
	"The only reason we give Dean an F+ and not a straight F is because the latter grade should be reserved for Bush, who is as cruel and heartless as anyone could possibly be on the medical marijuana issue." -- A Medical Marijuana Campaign Report Card, by the Granite Staters for Medical Marijuana (Kucinich got an A+!)
