By "we", I mean the Groo guys--Sergio, Mark, Tom, and myself. We've been talking about this between ourselves for awhile, and decided we will all be going to Kansas City, MO, as guests of a convention held September 20-21 (I think). Mark has been handling the details so far. I'll post more information as I learn them.

Has there been any more news about this convention? I've been looking around online, and can't find any Kansas City conventions scheduled in September.

Mark is handling the arrangements, so I'm in the dark right now. The only thing I know is that we will be eating at a barbecue restaurant one night.
I'll post more information as I receive them.

AWESOME! I was bummed that you couldn't make it to the planetcon in April, since you were elsewhere.
Very exciting news

after i came home from work and review the date for this kansas city con, it is unfortunate that i will not make it. Had i known prior about all this i could have planned accordingly. I guess i will wait for the next opportunity.
