<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>Hey, since Conor so graciously offered to put anyone up who’s going to Calgary, wouldn’t this be an excellent opportunity for all of us to get together? I think we should ALL go to Calgary! Just think of the fun we’d have. Two hundred or so of us all raiding the refrigerator at midnight; arguing over who’d get the bathroom next; sitting around the kitchen table while Conor made us scrambled eggs. I’m sure his roomies wouldn’t mind. It’ll be a blast! We can even help him straighten up that messy place. Two hundred or so people all pitching in will make short work of it. I think it’s genius! Hey Connor, stock up on soft drinks and Cheetos! We’re on our way! Who’s up for it?<BR>

I actually live in Calgary and, frankly, I'm still a bit in shock at the fact that both Sergio and Mark are coming here, haha. Somebody pinch me! No wait -- don't!!!<BR>

I managed to meet each of them (along with Stan, Tom and you too, Gary) for a few seconds at the 2007 San Diego Con, and even though the encounters were brief, they were eye-opening. At the time, I was just entering art school with aspirations of making comics for a living myself and so meeting the guys who had created the comic I grew up on made all those dreams seem...just a little bit more possible, heh heh. I'm absolutely thrilled that they're coming here. <BR>

Incidentally - if any Groopie was thinking of coming to Calgary, but doesn't have a place to stay, you'd be welcome to stay at my place during the con (for free, obviously). I live in a house with 4 other people in their early/mid-20's, so the place is a little cramped and messy, but if you're okay with it, I'm okay with it, haha. Just send me an e-mail and we'll figure things out.<BR>

Talk to you in a bit!<BR>
