I'll send Gary Mark's email about our limited
permissions, I've still got it.

Yes, it is a GROOP shirt, not a GROO shirt.

If we get permission to do a second printing, my
personal advice is:

1) Keep it Orange! We are a small but highly visible
presence at Cons such as the San Diego Comic Con
International, and I always get great comments about
the shirt from comic professionals and fans alike. 

The first year we wore them a bunch of us were on the
way to the Eisner Awards all aglow in bright orange
when Scott H. and I were approached by a tuxedoed
Kevin Smith, who walked with us to the ceremony and
gushed about how wonderful Sergio was and how great it
was to see such well-organized and dedicated fans. We
mentioned our origins briefly (like a comic book
recap, hee hee) and how Groop Members from all over
the world had flown in to hang together. He was
visibly impressed.

2) Change the GROOP at GROO.COM to www.groo.com. Josh's
anti-spam measures ensure that you can't send email to
this address without signing up first, and you have to
sign up at groo.com, so that's what we should now
advertise! 

That's why my original Groo Membership Card Designs
featured the website, not the list address!

3) Once again let's wait until the Membership Cards
are a done deal before trying to get another shirt
project going, remember, we still haven't petitioned
Sergio & Mark for permission, no need doing so until
the cards are in the mail!
