I started hosting "game days" at my home when I moved to the D.C. area in 2003. One of my friends brought Fluxx to a game day in the spring of 2004 and someone commented that the company is local. Later that year we picked up Chrononauts at MARCON, just to try out a different game from Looney Labs. In planning our wedding, I started to look a little closer at Looney Labs and their products. After receiving the 2006 Holiday Gift, I immediately purchased a Treehouse set and Martian Coasters, and I was hooked. My husband and I play Treehouse or a Fluxx variant at restaurants while we’re waiting for our food to arrive. I’ve gotten my boss and co-workers addicted to Martian Coasters - we play several times a week at lunch and have already worn out the print on two dice.
For our wedding, my husband and I decided to give a Looney Labs game to each couple or family as a wedding favor. Since we were married on Veterans Day, our colors were red, white and blue. Early American Chrononauts and a custom Treehouse set of red, blue, cyan, white, and clear (thought up by the Looneys) were the bulk of the favors. We also had Family Fluxx, Aquarius, and Nanofictionary tied up in patriotic colored ribbons. It was an awesome wedding reception!
When I’m not playing games, I’m usually taking care of my tropical fish or making jewelry. Occasionally I find the time to do some stargazing, archery, reading, or cross-stitching. Like many people in the D.C. area, I’m a government employee. I’m originally from Columbus, Ohio, and met my husband at MARCON.
