[Groop] Larry coming to Los Angeles

Wed Aug 19 13:52:06 PDT 2009

Larry, the travel gods are against you.  John Wayne Airport is way
further south and instead of 85 miles, it's 125 miles to Ojai!  Sheesh.
Not that that should dissuade you.  Steve is driving from further away
than that and so are Natalie and Shawn the girl.  It would be cool if
you made it up there.  You could give us all a preliminary report.  (But
don't tell Sergio we are coming)   Hope you can make it.

Thanks Dana and Gary!

I knew I wasn't going to make the Groop meet, but OH WOW I just paid for
the airline tickets, arriving at 3:08 pm in Santa Ana (John Wayne
Airport). It would be in excess of a 2 hour ride to get there, and the
event is 5pm-7pm. TRICKY! Mighty tempting, but I think my Mom might be
upset if I dropped her off and split for 3-4 hours.

The reason for the trip is to take care of some of my elderly Aunt's
affairs, so first stop has to be to go see her. She's 96 years old and
frail, but very sound of mind. I don't believe there are immediate
health concerns, but she seems convinced her end is near, so who knows
what the reality is?

We had been discussing a Friday flight, if only I had checked with you
guys earlier today I might have made it. Still, I should be able to
check out the exhibit on Sunday or Monday. We'll see.

Hey Larry!

I'm afraid your timing for meeting up with Groopies in Ojai is a little
off.  We will be there on Sunday August 30th, the Sunday after next.
That day there is a "Sunday Gathering" or some such name in which Sergio
will be giving a talk about cartooning.  I think it costs $8.  

As Dana noted, the August 22nd reception sounds like a more formal
affair and costs $25 with advance reservations apparently required.
Eric's guess, and mine, is that this is when the artsy Ojai crowd will
show up.  

Also as Dana noted, Ojai is not a hop, skip, and a jump from LA.  From
LAX to Ojai is about 85 miles. So you would need the better part of a
whole day to get out there, take in the exhibition, and get back to LA.

But maybe that could work out for you.   Good Luck and I hope your Aunt
is OK

Gary G.

Can someone remind me when Sergio's exhibition starts? I just made plans
to fly out to LA on important family business, taking care of a 96 year
old Aunt. I may have no time to do anything, but if Icould meet up with
Groopies at some point,and perhaps get out to Ohai, I'd love to do it.

I'm flying into Santa Ana this Saturday and staying in Sun Valley,
flying home Tuesday morning. 

If anyone wants to exchange cell phone numbers in case we can get
together, send me an email

Hi Folks!

It looks like there will be at least 4 of us meeting up in Ojai to see
Sergio's exhibition and "Sunday Gathering" on August 30th.  Me, The
Kuhnster, Lucky Cat, and Shawn (the Girl).  Also maybe Eric.  

Anyone else?  

The Long Suffering Mrs. G. cannot make it, but she thinks it would be a
fun surprise for Sergio.  (So shhhh.  Don't anyone tell him, OK?)    

Take care,

Gary G.
