The Time Travel Tale of
John Titor
"I just wanted to say thanks to you guys for the great
games!! I'm a Don at Renison College in Waterloo, Ontario and
this term my entire floor has been having a great time playing
Fluxx and all of the games for Pyramids. We started off playing
Fluxx (which is awesome!) and then a couple weeks ago some friends
of mine bought a few stashes and ever since we've been hooked.
Icehouse, Martian Chess, Homeworlds, RAMBots, Zendo -- they're
all just amazing! Since then we've put in another order for about
10 more stashes (arriving soon!) and everybody is looking forward
to their arrival! Anyway -- I'd just like to say thanks from
everybody here at Renison, we've had hours of fun already and
I look forward to hours more!" -- email
from Jim Wallace, Don of Animal Floor

Stoner Fluxx Has Arrived! |
|
|
 I
(Kristin) met the truck at our warehouse this afternoon. It was
two days late - so Andy didn't get to see a real copy of Stoner Fluxx
before he left for GrassyKnollCon.
But the first shipment of Stoner Fluxx decks is here, and we
are all very excited about it! With decks in hand, we finally
started putting together these cute little boxes for the Stoner Fluxx
Promotional Mailing that I have been working so hard on for
weeks. The retailer and distributor mailings will also include
a copy of a new Rabbit to Rabbit advisory I wrote this week:
Guidelines for Demoing Stoner Fluxx (only available as a pdf
so far.)
The truck didn't show up until almost noon (the driver was
stuck in traffic on the beltway) so ACMS
only got the first 100 promo packs built (those going up to our
PR folks in New York to be sent on to the media) before their
hand assembly folks went home for the day - but they will be
back at 6 am tomorrow morning to finish up the job. Meanwhile,
Brian dug in on the HUGE pile of consumer and wholesale orders
that have also been waiting on the arrival of the Stoner Fluxx
decks. Pre-orders have been fabulous - over a third of the first
print run will ship back out of our warehouse within about 36
hours of arriving! How cool is that! (Thanks ACMS - you guys
are awesome!)

This photo is a fake... those are the real boxes, but they're
all empty. Last week, as soon as they finished the boxes, we
had them FedEX us a few so we could have this photo available
for our PR efforts before the decks even showed up. (Thanks Carta
Mundi - you
guys ROCK!)
Our new PR agency, KCSA,
put out a
Press Release this week announcing the release of Stoner
Fluxx. They are very pleased with the initial media response
-- most of the online outlets such as Yahoo have run the press
release in its entirety and they have several major media outlets
interested in pursuing the story. I probably shouldn't mention
any names yet... but they are talking seriously with some pretty
impressive publications.
Meanwhile, we've got another new product in the pipeline which
should be ready to ship in just a couple of weeks. Andy spent
much of the week finishing up the new rule booklet for IceTowers,
which should go to the printer tomorrow after a final review
this evening. Alison
drove up to KLON
today to fetch over a hundred thousand pyramids - so ROI
will be hard at work on various pyramid assembly jobs the next
two weeks. (Good thing, since we sold out of Black stashes at
the warehouse today - and had only a handful of them left at
home.)
It's been quite a day. And with Andy
off hob-knobing with JFK conspiracy weirdos - I also had to write
the web article myself again this week!

"If we are to succeed in this
goal, there is nothing more important that any one of us can
do than to be honest -- to our friends, to our families and to
the public -- about our own marijuana-smoking. We must educate
those who have historically been afraid to hear it, and we must
reeducate those who have been victimized by decades of government
propaganda. For too long, the marijuana-law-reform movement has
been hesitant to talk about the positive aspects of marijuana.
Yet if we don't, who will? It's time to come out with the truth
about pot and those who use it." -- Keith
Stroup, Esq., NORML Executive Director, in High Times magazine

"It's really a myth of the decade that we're locking
up the user. We do not put people in jail for small amounts of
drugs; that's not the priority of the federal government." -- Drug Enforcement Agency Director Asa Hutchinson,
on the Phil Donahue Show, July
17, 2002 |

If it's really the "myth of the decade"
that ordinary pot-smokers go to jail, then it shouldn't be a
problem for someone who never has more than a "small amount
of drugs" to admit to being a pot-smoker. And yet, it's
terrifying. But as Keith Stroup says, it would make all the difference
if more people did like Jeff
and Tracy, so here goes: My name is Andrew
James Looney, and yes, I smoke pot. Please don't arrest me. |
