Almost there

Hey there, so some very significant progress has been made! I haven't had a moment to spare to post anything here, but taking a minute now to give a general update.

Had two really great play-test sessions in the last few weeks. One was with a group of six 12-year old boys.  If you have ever played Anomia, you can just imagine how funny and intense this was! I was also very excited by the response their teacher had.  She immediately saw how much fun the kids were having and also how much potential Anomia has in the education world!

The second play-test session was with a bunch of friends from all these different parts of my life. My friend Gregg (an old friend from  elementary & high school) and his wife Zvia, my friend Liz (I know her from walking my dog in Prospect Park), My friend Juliet (from college) and the gracious hosts, J. and Pam (who I know through my wife!) A great group of people, none of whom knew each other at the start of the night. By the end of the evening we had spilled wine, broken glass and a lot of laughs, always a sign of a good play-testing session in my book!

Also of major significance:  I got my first pre-purchase orders for Anomia!  The award for first customer goes to Emily Flitter, a colleague of mine! Thanks for buying a game Emily!  I also got my first order for $100 (4 games). Thanks to Dale Houston!  In all, I have sold my first 8 games, and I haven't even sent out the official announcement emails yet!  I'm taking this as a good sign.

Finally, I finished making my way through my entire email list..one by one, personally emailing people and letting everyone know to expect the Anomia Press launch email on June 15th, next week.  That's over 600 emails...it took a long time, but I think it was well worth it.

Ok. Off to bed, it's late, I am tired, and there is lot's more to do before next Monday rolls around!
