      Congrats.

      A last minute plot-twist and a happy ending (or, beginning) bodes well.

      Let it snow.

      I've been a little detached from the ARG scene for a few years, but heard you on the-Podcast-formerly-known-as-the-ARGNetcast and how could I *not* help back this?

      This is a Puppet Master/Author/Movie Maker/StoryTeller extraordinaire. Let's put this project over the top and share the joy of Snow Town.

      So inspired am I, that I am travelling TO a snow town tomorrow (not Wayne Maine but another famous snow town). On purpose! Where I will shovel snow and wait patiently for my Snow Town I-Fi experience.

      I can definitely spare some money for such a worthy cause! I loved being part of the original Snow Town Arg, and now I can help spread it to other people.

      I'll work a few hours of overtime and recoup the expenses, easily.

      Now I am very excited to see that I can have another chance to travel to Snow Town again (Especially since we did not have any snow yet in our part of Germany this year). I love the stories of Jan because she is a very passionate storyteller who cares about her characters and the overall settings of her stories. She knows how to let them become real not only in my mind. That's why I am very proud to have the opportunity of giving back a little bit of me to make this I-Fi App happen.

      My favorite ST moment was when I attended a live stream of the Snow Town Book CLub expecting a nice review of the current book, only to be treated to one of the most delicious dark surreal meetings lead by a librarian I have ever witnessed (Ruthie was awesome!). I can not wait to see what Jan and Snow Town brings next. PS - will there be more book clubs... please, please : )

      Whenever Jan Libby is involved you know that the story is being told by someone who cares for her characters and her readers/viewers. I still talk to people all the time who I met and became friends with during her Sammeeeee stories.

Jan Libby creates Alternate Realities, Interactive Experiences and Multi-Platform Storyworlds. Her goal is to give everyone a chance to step into an Alternate Reality, inhabit a fiction and feel the thrill of being a part of a truly amazing adventure.

Jan balances her innovative work as a Creator/Designer for Media Companies and Ad Agencies with her ground-breaking Indie projects. Levi's, Scion, Ford, ABC Family, 20th Century Fox and Discovery are just some of the Brands on her resume. Most recently, she wrapped on Ford's "Focus Rally" (with the Amazing Race Prods) and ABC Family's "Nine Paths to Chloe King". Over the last couple months, Jan has focused her attention on designing the Snow Town I-Fi App. Moving forward, she'd like to work with other storytellers and produce many more I-Fi adventures.
