Chris,

You're an inspiration!!!

Perhaps, this time, we can try to make the comic con come to you (in a
small way).  There's always some whipper-snapper with a camcorder in
the audience.  Can't promise it, but we'll see if we can get you a copy of
the videotape.  Also, a GrooFest badge.

Take care,

Eric
