<P>RE: groo cards. The only place I ever saw the cards were at sergio signing booth at san diego comic con. Over the years of going to the con I bought enough boxes to obtain all of the chase cards then I stopped buying them. I also completed a few sets, thanks to Mark, and now have 7 sets and would be more than happy to trade you for a set. Let me know what you got and we'll set something up.<BR><BR>RE: movies for Groo's who like funny movies here are some of my favorites: This is Spinal Tap on DVD is great. They've included about an hour and a half of extra footage, and the commentary on the movie is as funny as the movie. Dogma is one of my favorites, I haven't got the DVD yet but I hear it has a lot of extra's. "Best of Show" and "Waiting for Guffman" are very funny. They are done in spoof documentary style. And for one of my favorites: "A Nightmare Before Christmas" not extremely funny but wonderful to look at a!
nd some great songs, Danny Elfman is the one singing the Jack parts and he is my all time favorite. He was lead singer for Oingo Boingo and has wrote the film scores to many of my other favorite movies.</P>

<P>RE: this years San Diego Comic Con. It happened a while ago, but this is what I did: This was the 2nd year I went for all 4 days. This year I met Gary and got a "Did I Err" shirt from him and got to hear some gary stories, he is my hero next to sergio and groo of course. Tip if you ever get one of those shirts and want Sergio to draw a sketch on it bring your own sharpie, it ruins the pen he uses to autograph comics with. I hung around Sergio's table for a while, long enough to meet is lovely daughter and hear some Sergio stories. Meet Larry and was with him when he purchased the original panels for many bucks. I went to the groo panel, funny story, I didn't want to wear my newly signed "Did I Err" shirt so right before the panel I changed into the shirt and left my badge, the one you need to go any where at comic con, in the bathroom and didn't realize it until 5 minutes into the groo panel, went back to the bathroom and ther!
e it was right where I left it, rather grooish of me. Anyway after the panel I got Tom and Stan to sign my hard cover book of the "Groo Chronicles" that I had purchased many years ago that was signed by Sergio and Mark and numbered. The other none groo stuff I did was go to the Kevin Smith Panel, wrote and directed Clerks, Chasing Amy, Mall Rats, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back. He talked for about 3 hours and was very funny, Jay Muse the one who plays Jay, was also there but just sat there with not much to say Saw the cartoon Futurama episode that fox wouldn't air because of its violence, violent but very funny. Also obtained the two missing Mad Magazines that have slipped through my fingers and now have a complete Mad Magazine collection from #1 to the present, yea for me. Overall a wonderful place to be for 4 days.</P>
