<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Obviously this is Mark & Sergio's call, but before you get too excited, I should tell you that when the idea of a Groop Shirt with Groo art on it has come up in the past it just didn't work out. I think it might have something to do with the business side of things and Sergio essentially giving up too much, which is certainly more than understandable. I got permission from Sergio to use the art on the cards and the Did I Err? T-shirts had no art on them, so that was fine. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I will do my best to get enough Motor City T-shirts for everyone and once we get the membership cards squared away I look into a redo of the Did I Err? T-shirts, which are essentially the Groop Shirt. Sergio and Mark do more for their fans than any other folks I've ever heard of (who do you think clued me in on the Motor City T-shirts) But I'm afraid a Groop shirt with Groo art is a non-starter. </FONT></SPAN></P>
