Finally, after years of buying his comics, I finally met Sergio.  Wow, what a 
nice guy. 

I walked up to him and he greeted me warmly, then I told him I'm a great 
admirer of his work and that I'm a member of the Groo list.  We talked for a 
minute or so and then he signed my Groo comic (I forgot to bring in the 
lunchbox: I'll bring it in tomorrow), I bought the complete set of magnets 
from him (there were no dots under Rufferto's eyes, if any of you were 
wondering - he colored them in for us right there), and then I meekly asked 
if he could draw in my sketchbook and he gladly obliged (drew Groo holding a 
rose and thinking of my wife).  Of all the creators I've ever met, he is by 
far the most famous and definately the nicest (not that I've ever met an 
ill-mannered creator).  Looking forward to tomorrow when he and Stan Sakai 
put on their Groo chat.

Groo people are awsome!
