Safe & Fun, Glow Necklaces Use For Night Time Game & Decorations
 

Kids are often curious about the glowing colored liquid inside glow sticks and want to get it out to see.  As activated glow necklaces sticks contain broken glass ampoules, it is not safe to cut them open.  Glow sticks provide light for all sorts of nighttime activities and are dependable makeshift light for emergent situations.  They will not generate spark, safe for explosive situations. The light of glow sticks party products is from a unique chemical reaction.  And as we learned from the chemistry class in high school, the power of a chemical reaction is usually affected by the outside temperature.

A Musing on Board Game Cafes in Asia
 

Since I’m about to head off to Asia, my mind started wandering about businesses and I seriously started thinking about the Board Games Cafe in Asia.  I’m probably slow, but I just realised why the format is so popular in Asia and potentially not as successful in North America / Europe. It’s a matter of capital cost and the Foreign Exchange Rates.  With a game such as Settlers of Catan easily costing the equivalent of $160 – 180 in local dollars, it’s hard to justify more than one or two game purchases.  Evan ‘cheap’ board games like Citadels are between $100 – 110. Enter the Cafes where players can pay to play at a fraction the cost of the game.  No more risky purchases, and suddenly board gaming becomes affordable for a much larger target audience.  I’d bet the vast majority of their profit comes not from the game rental but from food & drink purchases too.  The game rental really is to defray capital expenses of the new game.

Nellyphants on parade…….
 

The circus is starting to arrive in  Critterville…….first up Nellyphants They are kinda tricksy to take piccies of as they are so well trained they go into incredible stacks of amazing wonder as soon as you point a camera at them………but I’m glad they are here and that the circus is coming together……they will be appearing in the shop asap too. Yesterday we went to Chicago to see She and Him in Millenium Park,  it was crazy busy in the way a free concert in Chicago can only be.  But they were really, really great……not as great as how cool the Geary stage is surrounded by the big buildings though The park really is a lovely venue for a show,  and it was a brilliant way to spend a sunny Monday night

Passion driven business
 

I was watching So You Think You Can Dance recently and it sparked off a series of thoughts.  In the Auditions, you see so many people go in and dance, and often you can spot those who have it ; and those that don’t.  Yet, they all try out. Now, don’t get me wrong, any one of those dancers could out-dance me any day of the century.  Yet, I couldn’t help wondering why they did it – when you just don’t have that spark, that flare, why go through with it?  There’s almost no logical reason for doing this – yet people do.  It’s a passion driven business, one filled with self-delusion and luck.  Very,very few will ever make it big, even fewer will make any (serious) money at it.
