[Groop] CBR News - WonderCon: The Sergio and (not) Mark Show

[John T]

Well, So much for my Con reports. It was pretty much covered in both
articles. Although the CBR article had some misquotes that changed the
meanings around and got facts wrong. (it was 20 kids around 12, not kids in
their 20's, in the meeting Mark section). I can see why people say they are
misquoted in papers now. The gist of the stories was right. I was the fan
who asked about a Groo/Usagi crossover. I don't buy Sergio's explanation,
but it's his, so I respect it. 

 

Shawn the Girl and her friend, John, were there. 

 

Did you video tape the panel, Eric? If it was you, or whoever did, I wish
had introduced yourself. I had my hat and Motor City Tee on. 

 

I also meet Scott Hudlow after a few miscommunications on the cells. It
turned out I wasn't able to stay all day, so we didn't hook up for dinner or
anything. Scott was a nice guy, but I think he accused of most us who need
to get everything of being crazy. Or at least that was his inference. :-)  

 

Sergio seemed to busy all day. I didn't even get chance to get a photo with
him. There seemed always to be a line, and I didn't want to hold things up.
He did do another ACEO for me. I'll post it on my blog,
http://groo230.blogspot.com/

 

My friend Ed also did an ACEO of Sergio. I wanted to get it signed but
Sergio was whisked away to another panel before I could.

 

During the Con, I told maybe 10 to 15 people about the Groop. While all were
Sergio fans, there wasn't an enthusiastic response. One guy wanted to know
if we had mailing address as he didn't own a computer. (So Gary if you start
getting some strange mail.) Anyway, we leave. So we get my friend apartment
and are in the garage.  There is an older couple taking stuff out their car,
and we hold the elevator for them. The gentleman asks if were at Wonder Con,
because he notices my Hellboy 2/Dark Horse bag. Then the woman noticed hat
and shirt. "Oh! I love Groo, I have all the issues." She asked about Sergio.
I told her about the Groop and she said she would look us up. So, if you are
out there, introduce yourself. We love hearing from new Groopies.

 

Peace Out, All
