[Groop] GROO NEWS from me

[Scott]

Mark,

You and Sergio ever make it to Dallas, me and 2 web cams, 1 laptop, and
projector will setup so you both draw on paper and we all watch from above you
on the projector split screen... (yes, if I ever save enough kopins I will
voyage out to a comic con you visit, all gear in tow just in case they can't
come up with the goods)

Also, I am ready to show up on location for the shoot of the Groo Movie.  I am
sure your costume people will have fun making all 6'3" of me into some big bad
ass barbarian (that probably gets killed in the 1st scene with a swipe of a Groo
Sword...)

Mulch!
Scott

ME> That is all for now.
