Oops! Grooed again! I meant to send this to the whole Groop!
Too bad I can't get the Department of Revenue to put on a Tax workshop in
Oakland in April! Oh, well San Diego is a lock! -Gary G.

> On behalf of Larry, I confess. There isn't really a GrooFest to the
extent

> Comic Con likes to be called) is the biggest comic convention on the
planet
> , takes up the entire San Diego Convention center, and is essentially the
> most amazing tribute to graphic pop/art and culture ever conceived. (at
> least in my humble opinion)

> But by far the best thing about it is that the entire Groo Crew can be
> counted on to be there. Sergio & Stan for all four days, much of it at
> their own booths and ludicrously accessible, Mark for all four days,
hosting
> several hundred panels, and Tom popping in now and again. Combine these
> great, great guys with those of us Groo crazies who manage to stumble our
> way into the place, and it is a GrooFest whether anyone recognizes it as
> such or not!!!
