Hey Magnus! <BR>
<BR>
That will be so cool for you to come to the Con! You will be the furthest traveling Groopie since Greg came from New Zealand (or was it Saudi Arabia?) <BR>
<BR>
I must echo Katie's advice. Get your "membership" (tickets) now!!! And make your hotel reservation now too! Maybe they don't have the rip-off prices in place yet. If they do, check the comic-con international site for when they will start taking reservations at the places they have reserved. You have to have fast typing or dialing fingers. They are gone in about 45 minutes. <BR>
<BR>
Also, as Katie said, Sergio is easy to meet. So is Stan. Mark, you pretty much have to meet on the go, but it can be done, especially if you are a Groopie. Unfortunately, Tom may or may not be there, depending on if he can avoid the rip off hotel prices. <BR>
<BR>
Oh, and at Quick Draw, there is usually a groop of seats roped off near the front ostensibly reserved for the press or whoever, and we Groopies can go sit there. (Cuz Mark said we could) <BR>
<BR>
As for Groop Gathering, we have arranged for a couple of nice ones in the past, but sometimes they don't work out, mostly because there is so much to do and most folks have a wide variety of things they want to see and do, so it's hard to get everyone together at one time. But our best bet is probably lunch at the Crab Shack (actual name?) behind the convention hall. <BR>
<BR>
Anywho, hopefully we can arrange something. <BR>
<BR>
Take care,<BR>
<BR>
Gary G. <BR>
