We have completed our move to the fabulous new offices of Lund and Company Invention, L.L.C. -- and in keeping with the spectacular design of our new studio, we staged a spectacular celebration Party with toy industry comrades, family, personal friends and neighbors. Among the highlights of the evening were search lights, a stilt walker; living statues of some of my personal heroes, Einstein, Da Vinci and Ben Franklin, a fire eater; a belly dancer with a 12-foot python, circus performers, a live scorpion card trick, and a big, beautiful, sleek, 300 lb Bengal Tiger to top it off! The Tiger was tame as a pussy cat, and a major hit with kids and adults alike.
Key industry executives such as Sharon John, GM of Playskool; Wayne Luther and team representing Hasbro; Steve Toth representing Fisher Price, and many colleagues representing RC2, the Marketing Store, Cadaco and others were among the 200 or more friends and associates of Lund and Company Invention, L.L.C. in attendance at the big Grand Opening event. It was a feast for the senses, with guests feasting on Chicago delicacies and local candies, traversing our rock climbing wall, entering our secret entrance, inspired by the legendary "Safe House" in Milwaukee. Even the owner of the Safe House honored us with his presence, along with a real cold war spy who spent six years in Soviet prisons for spying on behalf of G2, the WW2 U.S. spy agency.
The Grand Opening Bash of the new Lund digs was a hit by all accounts, and a party to go down in the annals of toy industry history!
