... then there are poor saps like me who will probably NEVER get to meet 
"The Man" and the ONLY way an original piece of art work would ever be 
possible ... would be to buy it.  But I can see how pawning off a sketch

Goals in life:
     1).  Meet Sergio.
     2).  Take over the world.
     3).  Carve the entire cast of Friends out of soap ... then bathe my 
cat w/it.

Hey!  It's a start!!
