ME: Quick Draw! is currently slotted in the same room and time slot as 
last year.  As usual, I will ask for a section of seats to be saved for 
my guests...and that will include any Groop member.  However, we can 
only hold them until about 10 minutes before the event starts.

We'll work out some way to make sure no Groop member is turned away from 
either the Sergio/Mark panel (which will probably be on Thursday) or 
Quick Draw on Saturday.

At the moment, I am hosting 16 panels at the con.  We're going to pare 
that list down a bit...maybe by one or two.

Also, I'll let you all in on a secret that will excite some folks.  One 
of the events I'll be hosting at the con will be an interview with Mr. 
Stan Freberg.
