Media Day

5/29/2014

0 Comments

 
This week we've been talking to some Traverse City area media. Evan Perry from MyNorth.com interviewed us and wrote a nice summary for their website. We also talked to Bill Froehlich on the WTCM Afternoon Drive show today. It was fun!

While we usually just consume media, it is interesting to participate, even in a small way, in the process. We are grateful for all the people that are out there trying hard to keep us informed of what is happening in our communities!

The Beach Comber

5/12/2014

One of the perks available at the Beach Comber level of our IndieGoGo campaign is a set of beach stones collected by Kevin Gauthier of Korner Gem in Traverse City. Kevin literally wrote the book on beach combing Lake Huron, so we approached him to put together an authentic collection of stones that are different enough from each other to be used as pawns and scoring markers in the game.

He did a great job. The collection includes 17 pieces: 2 quartz pebbles, 2 basalt pebbles, 2 granite pebbles, 2 limestone pebbles, 2 dolomite pebbles and 2 each of green, blue and brown beach glass.  And, we included a polished Petoskey Stone to use as a season marker.

Of course we know that you can't find Petoskey Stones on Mackinac Island, but it is Michigan's State Stone (pdf) after all.

Know the Past to Understand the Present

With all the various scuffles arising around the world these days, I would even go farther than Carl Sagan does in this quote: We consider our own time special to our peril. Those who study history realize that most things people consider critical, like who has what piece of land, or who believes in someone's  words, wind up being equalized by time.
