Well, it's July, and that means we're into the final stretch
of our epic preparations for the upcoming Origins
trade show. As you might expect, if you follow this site and
know how much new stuff we're trying to get ready for this event,
we've been operating at maximum speed for the last few weeks,
and we're getting messages from Scotty down below, advising us
that the ship can't take much more of this. (See, my writing
isn't even make much sense anymore. Egads, we're busy. I need
a nap.)
Anyway, over the past couple of weeks, Kristin's been placing
lots of purchase orders, and all week new stuff has been showing
up, most notably the Chrononauts
cardsheets, which are absolutely beautiful. (We're calling this
a Beta release, but don't let that fool you, the quality is gonna
be great.) We've also received the new purple tote bags we're
calling "the Big Bag of Looney Games", which also look
beautiful, as well as lab coats, a new batch of buttons, the
Paper Icehouse books (finally!), and the posters I described
last week. It's so exciting! But
as boxes of stuff arrive, they just add to our work load, since
we've got to get all this stuff organized, and then built into
products and such. So, we've been doing lots of hand collating
work, counting out Paper Icehouse cards and Chrononauts components
and stuff like that, and special thanks go out this week to Heidi, who's not only been
helping us with all this assembly work, but also wrote for us
a fabulous new Press Release! (Thanks Heidi! You rock!)
Also, as you can see from the What's New list this week, we've
been putting a lot of work into the front pages of the LooneyLabs.com
website. It was woefully out of date, and since we're expecting
to get a lot of new traffic as a result of the new press release,
we really had to get these pages updated this week. And of course,
that always ends up being a bigger job than it seems like it
oughta be.
Anyway, between all that and the Fourth of July, we've just
been too busy to breath this week, and we're not out of the asteroid
field yet. (Scotty! We need more power!)
 Remember
Peter
McWilliams!
