Enter the InfoDream Date Contest and win a date with Infocom's Director of Marketing, Mike Dornbrook. Just tell us in 50 words or less why you would want to go on a date with Mikey. Entries will be judged by a committee of married Infoemployees, and the winning entry, along with a few runners-up, will be published in a future issue of this newsletter. Runners-up will receive an Infocom poster. All contestants will have the satisfaction of knowing they have flattered Mikey and helped put a dent in this year's Postal Service deficit.
Unfortunately, most of this year's enormous contest budget is gone, so the winner will have to get to Boston on his or her own. Jim, tell our eager contestants what awaits them on their InfoDream date, should they win:
Your InfoDream date begins with a tour of the Infocom facilities. You'll meet the game writers and have your picture taken on the computer they work on. You'll see Marc Blank's desk and his Halloween costume from last year. You'll see Infocom's trophy case. If there are any meetings, you can take the minutes, unless you don't want to. Then you'll be whisked a block away to Aku-Aku (Polynesian dishes a specialty) for dinner with Mikey. All this can be yours if your entry is selected by our distinguished committee of judges.
Send your entry, and a photo (optional, but you don't think we're going to send Mikey out with just anybody, do you?) to InfoDream Date, 125 CambridgePark Drive, Cambridge, MA 02140, Attention Jim Lange. Employees of Infocom and their families are not eligible since they see Mikey all the time.
