[Groop] Membership Cards, Groo Movie, etc.

[Ryan Simmons]

This was a very good response from our leader.

Make sure that you understand his decrees.

Groo card example attached...;P

>Hi Folks!
>
>OK, before I get into my Con Report, let me throw in my two cents on the 
>various topics that have come up.
>
>First off, I am not the leader of the Groop.  No one is.  I'm just the 
>biggest nut case.
>
>As far as the cards, I can't just crank them out.  I have to have an order 
>big enough to make the price per card reasonable.  And since it's been a 
>year since I last contacted the guys who made them, I'm not sure they will 
>still have the template.  If they don't and have to make a new one that 
>will add to the cost.  Which brings me to...
>
>I agree with Larry, Chris, Kaytee, and all the others.  Any new cards will 
>be exactly like the first batch.  In every detail.  I'll get the numbers 
>figured out. To make a distinction between new and old Groo fans is silly.  
>And while part of being a Groo fan is being VERY silly, distinguishing 
>between Groo fans would be a different kind of silly and we're just not 
>going to have it.
>
>Now about the movie:  Guys, stop worrying!!!  It will either be done right, 
>i.e the way Sergio and Mark want it done, or it won't be done at all.  Mark 
>is a very industry savy, strong willed guy.  Sergio is a business savy 
>strong willed guy.  I'd hate to be in an adversarial situation with either 
>of them, let alone together.  And to hear Mark tell it, its not an 
>adversarial situation at all.  He said at the panel that the movie people 
>were in awe of Sergio. (As well they should be!)  He said-in typical Mark 
>fashion-that when the movie people make a suggestion or something and Mark 
>dosen't like it they blow him off, but then Sergio says "No!" and they 
>meekly back off.  Now I'm sure he's exaggerating things in some ways to 
>make it a funnier story, but I'm also sure the substance of the story is 
>dead on.
>
>And as far as the voices go, remember that Mark knows pretty much every 
>good voice actor in the business and they all like and respect him.  Also, 
>last year Sergio said they would not hire a person for the person's name 
>value.  They would hire people who were good voice actors and whose voices 
>are right for the part in their opinions (which are the only opinions that 
>matter.)  Sergio made the point (again, this was last year) that even 
>though actor Craig T. Nelson is very well known, when he voiced Mr. 
>Incredible you didn't watch the movie thinking that you were listening to 
>Craig T. Nelson.  So even if they hire a well known person, it will be 
>because he has the right voice and voice acting ability.  And no one knows 
>that business better than Mark.
>
>Now back to something silly.  I hope the movie is a HUGE sucess.  I hope it 
>grosses big time and makes Sergio and Mark millionaires and creates 
>millions of Groo fans and Josh has to add a new server (or whatever) to 
>accomadate all the Groop Members!!  This will entail a zillion items of 
>Groo merchandise which will probably lead to me having to choose between 
>retaining my title as Person(?) With Most Complete Groo Collection In the 
>Universe and Beyoooooonnnnnddddd!!!!! or continuing to live with the Long 
>Suffering Mrs. G.  (Now don't anyone faint, but I'd chose the latter. 
>Gasp!) But you know, if someone else ends up with the 8' fiberglass Groo 
>statute that they make for the premier of the movie, I'll just have to 
>learn to live with it. (I'll just make my own at of paper mache. So there!)
>
>Con report eventually.  How about some more Con reports from others?
>
>Take care all -Gary G.
