We would particularly like to recognize the following companies for giving us crap:

Sex Is Fun

SexIsFun.net, a different kind of sex education, produces a complete line of resources for adults. Sex is Fun, a world known podcast of the same name, is dedicated to the rational discussion of human sexuality from the approach of fun enjoyment and pleasure. Hosts Kidder Kaper, Laura Rad, Gay Rick and Coochie push the boundaries of everyday thinking with irreverent conversation, and interviews with the most influential sex educators, authors, and activists. SexIsFun.net’s online magazine covers everything from sex toys to relationships to health. For those looking for a tangible product, SexIsFun.net also publishes a complete line of adult party games, and a fully illustrated, scenario-based guide for couples forthcoming in June.

Fantasy Flight Games

Fantasy Flight Games is a gaming company in Minnesota that makes all sorts of neat shit, including Twilight Imperium, Descent, and Laurie’s personal favorite, Battlestar Galactica.  Seriously, she cannot get enough of that shit, despite the fact that she is hardly ever a Cylon.  They were kind enough to donate several games which lucky audience members received as prizes.  We like FFG lots and lots, and appreciate their generosity.
