<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi Folks!</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Here is another combined post in my continuing efforts to not be the top poster again. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">First off, nothing is happenning at the moment with the hats. Almost everyone has paid me, but Sergio is a very busy guy (creating more Groo! Yea!) and I don't exactly live across the street. BUT…it should be worked out soon and everyone will get their hats.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">On the "freebie" front, everyone except Sean (that's Sean the Brit, not to be confused with Sean<B><I> not</I></B><I></I> the Brit, Shawn the guy, Shawn the girl, or any other Sean/Shawn's that might be out there) should have received their freebies. At least a couple envelopes were torn, but apparently there was no damage to the Groo cover. Also, I hope you all found the button taped inside the back cover of the program. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Other stuff:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Larry! Where are you? </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hey! Is everyone enjoying the Groo Special? Does everyone in the far flung reaches of the world have their copy? I am having a great, great time savoring it. It is sooooooo cool to have new Groo! </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">George did not file a Con report (he is an extremely busy guy!) and tell you about his Major Con Coup!!! Now he probably thinks it's too late. But it's not. You all want to hear it, right? C'mon George. Tell 'um! </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">There have been a number of Groo issues that Tom did not color. In the past the reason was because he was doing something like coloring The Death of Groo and didn't have time to color the monthly comic. An excellent colorist (who was sometimes named Janice Cohen, but she kept changing it) did a few for that reason. I hope the reason this time is because Tom has a gig that pays more than two cents an hour. (Tom loves doing Groo, but all of Sergio's open lines make digital coloring very time consuming) </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I think the whole bicycle sidecar thing should be set up so that Tone pedals and Glorko steers! </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">My ebay handle is real mysterious: garyg5678 I don't buy much on ebay anymore, but when a Groo List item comes up that I don't have, I will bid against other Groopies. Although some of you are just so darn nice to me, when you find out I'm bidding, you let me have it! Thanks! </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I usually don't buy unique Groo items on ebay anymore either, mostly because they cost too darn much and there is usually someone, like BErt's brother wolvergeek, who has much deeper pockets than I do. (Boy, when I get done putting my kids through college, are you in trouble!) </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Another thing I've done is if we figure out the seller has more than one copy, I agree with my fellow Groopie who will bid the first time around and who will wait. That saves both of us some kopins. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Years ago Dennis White and I had an epic ebay battle (which he won) for the color proof to Pacific Groo #1. It was at a time when a number of pretty cool Pacific Groo items showed up Fortunately (for me, unfortunately for him), wolvergeek and a couple others were not around at that time. At the same time Shane "I have a Sketch Crad & You Don't" Clarke and I decided between us who would bid on the color proofs for #2 and #3 so we wouldn't jack up the price on each other. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">That's more than enough on ebay. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">WAY Off Topic: Anyone watching Heroes? The Long Suffering Mrs. G and I are hooked. The only other show we watch is Ugly Betty. Both have numerous plotlines that zig zag across each other all of the time. I think there should be an Ugly Betty/Heroes Crossover! </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Take care all -Gary G. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">PS If I had 6 ebay names, I'd probably end up buying something from myself after jacking up the price in a bidding war with a couple of my other selves. </FONT></P>
