Who is Andrew Looney?
Andy to his friends, he's the eccentric who created Fluxx, Zombie Fluxx, Martian Fluxx, Monty Python Fluxx, Chrononauts, Aquarius, Are You the Traitor?, Nanofictionary, Just Desserts, the Icehouse game system, Treehouse, World War 5, Zark City, Secret Project PD-09, Black ICE, TwinWin, IceTowers, Martian Chess, Martian Coasters, Cosmic Coasters, Stonehenge Hippie Festival, and others.He's also the creator of other cool stuff, including a novel called The Empty City and the obscure videogame Icebreaker. Before starting Looney Labs with his wife Kristin, they both worked for NASA, where in 1993 some of Andy's software was launched into orbit (as part of the repairs to the Hubble Space Telescope). Now he gets to create cool stuff for a living as the Creative Director for Looney Labs. To date, he's been given 3 US Patents and 5 Origins Awards. He's a photographer, a writer of tiny stories, a cartoonist who draws broccoli, and an outspoken marijuana-legalization advocate. His favorite color is purple, his favorite foods are steak and cake, and his favorite city is Amsterdam. He loves Tiki Culture, World's Fairs, and roller coasters. Andy lives in a suburb of Washington DC (near the Greenbelt subway station) in a house called Wunderland.Earth, and increasingly in another house across the street called Pepperland. He's a hippie, a non-conformist, an inactive video-blogger, and an introvert who publishes the details of his life every whenever at Wunderland.com. He's a hermit who hates the telephone (but loves his iPhone) and who often ignores his email. He's a night person with odd sleeping habits, and his alter-ego is the Emperor of the Universe. His favorite ways to play with pyramids are Binary Homeworlds, Volcano, and Martian Hold'em. Andy has a small collection of vintage arcade machines, including a Twilight Zone Pinball and yes, he does actually like to drink hot chocolate using laboratory glassware. This is Andy's VERY FIRST appearance at a UK convention so please be nice; we'd like to see more of him on this side of the Atlantic!
