I was promised $300,000 a year when Fun Rockets became self-perpetuating after the initial $30,000 tooling costs. Well, my oh so brilliant partner inflicted compromises into the products to make them more commercial, but were actually antithetical to the same, and I lost most of the tooling.
Anyway, John Carroll wants me to move down with him in Florida and start a model airplane and rocket company with him and a third guy that's supposed to be a vacuum form wizard. Maybe after Christmas.
DGH
But where has this kind of support and friendship been in fandom?
