[Groop] Emerald City Comicon 2011

[Chris Schechner]

Desiree,

Yea you! It's a major treat to meet Sergio. He is undoubtedly one of the
most gracious people in the world. Thanks for sending your report and for
posting the pictures. As Shawn (the girl) said, it¹s good to get these
reports for those of us who aren¹t close to any of the cons.

Chris (Glorko)
