[Groop] San Diego

[Chris McCollum]

Had a great time at San Diego, as usual. We all really missed Gary and Larry at the Groo panel but I think Mark missed you guys the most. He simply could not believe that Gary missed a Groo panel. Thanks for the neat pictures Eric, and the "did I error?" badge. It's the second one I've got from you. The Groo, fast draw compition and the voice actors were very good panels, but the best one that Mark hosted was the Kirby panel when Stan Lee came in and joined the group as Mark was interviewing Stan's brother Larry Lieber. It was awesome to see Stan and Larry togeather on stage. Stan was teasing Larry about giving him all the lousy jobs so Stan wouldn't be accussed of favoritism. Larry did it all. And very well too. Some how I never really saw, or thought about Larry's massive contribution to the field of comics until Stan and Mark pointed it out to me that day. What a great panel. That's why I go to San Diego. You never know what you'll get to see and hear. It's a very big place with anything and everything going on all at once. In about 3 hours, on one day, I saw:Stan Lee,Sergio Aragones,Rowdy Roddy Piper,Halle Berry,Gary Grossman,Rob Zombie,Rob Van Dam,Jim Lee,Larry Stellar, Scott Shaw,the Tomb Raider chick, David Carradine and (a personal friend) John-the drummer from System of a Down!! Wow!! oh yeah........one of my hi lites.....I got to meet the guys who do the mini marvels book. Yeah!!  See you all there next year. Chris McCollum
