<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I’m afraid your timing for meeting
up with Groopies in Ojai is a little off. We will be there on Sunday
August 30<sup>th</sup>, the Sunday after next. That day there is a “Sunday
Gathering” or some such name in which Sergio will be giving a talk about
cartooning. I think it costs $8. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>As Dana noted, the August 22<sup>nd</sup> reception
sounds like a more formal affair and costs $25 with advance reservations
apparently required. Eric’s guess, and mine, is that this is when
the artsy Ojai crowd will show up. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Also as Dana noted, Ojai is not a hop,
skip, and a jump from LA. From LAX to Ojai is about 85 miles. So you
would need the better part of a whole day to get out there, take in the
exhibition, and get back to LA. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

Good Luck and I hope your Aunt is OK<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
