[Groop]GROO NEWS from me

[Mark Evanier]

Actually, this isn't primarily Groo News.  It's Comic-Con
International in San Diego News.

The convention has quietly added a feature to its website
(www.comic-con.org) that enables you to book hotel rooms online.  

If you're thinking of going and wish to book into one of the hotels
near the convention center, go to the site right now and sign up.
Last year, all the hotels sold out in a matter of weeks.  This year,
they may go even faster.

We will be having our traditional Sergio/Mark panel this year, as well
as another edition of the "Quick Draw" panel in which Sergio and a
bunch of not-as-fast cartoonists draw based on challenges I throw at
them.  I don't know the days yet but I'm guessing the Quick Draw panel
will be Saturday.  For this year's Sergio/Mark panel, I'm thinking of
doing something a little different and bringing in some unusual
videotapes, mostly involving Sergio.  But we'll see.

Anyway, if you need a hotel reservation, go to the site right now.
They're disappearing even as you read this.
