[Groop] Thanks Mike for the mention

>>> Yes I manned Sergio's booth, what a rush when he asked me. I guess waiting for Mark to show up paid off.

Acually, Dominick manned Sergio's table while Sergio was out scrounging up some sketch paper to work on my  commissioned piece, so I was directly responsible for that!  

>>> The Groo panel was great sorry I missed you Elie, where were you sitting?

I didn't get a chance to talk to them either, but I think both Groopers Janet and Elie were sitting next to each other in the same second middle row as you were, Dominick.  They were to your right (i.e., in the center of that row rather than the end); Janet asked about Tom Luth's vibrant colors in recent issues...can't remember what Elie asked.

I double checked and my first Mid Ohio Con was in 1995 and was the first time I met Aragones in person after being a huge fan since starting reading MAD in the early 1970s.  Hard to believe 12 years ago have gone by that fast since that first meeting!
