Dear Greg,
This is my first time writng to you, so first I would just like to say how much I really enjoy your work on the Gargolyes. (Especially the Elisa/Goliath reltionship. It's a lot of the reason why I watch the show). I wish I could go to the Gathering in 2001, but I'm only 16, and I live in Alabama, and I don't think I could convince my 'rents to let me go all the way across the country just for some "cartoon thing" as my daddy calls my love of the Garg's. Now for my question. How many people, on average, would you say come to the Gatherings?

Greg responds...

I'd say it's hard to pick an "average" number since the con has grown slow but steady every year.

And I'm hoping that this year we'll have a MAJOR growth spurt. Our goal is a minimum of 500 people. In the past, we started just below 100 and climbed above that number.

I understand your predicament, and I know this is presumptuous of me, but have you tried suggesting to your 'rents that they make a family vacation to L.A. in June. The Gathering can be but one of many attractions you visit. The convention is being held twenty yards from Universal Studios and Universal Citywalk. Daytrips to Disneyland and/or Magic Mountain or any other Southern California attraction you can name are easily accomplished. Can't hurt to ask? (Or if it can, ignore me.) :)

Demonskrye asked about the Buzz Lightyear episodes you wrote. I really like the show (not just your episodes, but the whole series). It ranks right up there with the Gummi Bears just behind Gargoyles.

I've notice that, except for Gargoyles, all my favorite Disney cartoons have Tad Stones' name in the credits. And we've seen from your memos that he had a hand in the development of Gargoyles, too.

What are the chances of getting Tad to come to the Gathering? Or better yet, the chances of him working on the show if/when it comes back? Just a thought.

Greg responds...

Chances are good for the former, probably slim for the latter.

Tad and I are currently developing another series together for Disney. Too soon to talk about, but hopefully we can make an announcement soon.

Hey Greg!
So that's cool that your still trying to get the Gargoyles back, I really miss 'em, alot of people do. I know about ten people at school that really want 'em back. So theres about ten fans plus millions on the web. I really wish there was something I could do, I wrote Buena Vista tons of times, but from my point of view that's the only thing I could do. Do you have any ideas that might help get the word out people still miss Gargoyles?

Greg responds...

Organize a big group of all ten of your friends and their parents and siblings etc to come to Los Angeles next June for the GATHERING 2001. I'm not kidding. The best way you can help me get the show back on the air is to make attendance at this year's gathering HUGE!

Ishimura Clan questions:

1. After seeing the memo recently posted on naming schemes used in the series, I was wondering if any specific pattern was used with the Ishimura clan?

2. I don't know how involved you were with the individual names of the Ishimura clan, but what does Kai's name mean? Sora and Yama have only one kanji character associated with their names (yama: "mountain, hill, knoll," sora: "sky, heavens, air"), but there are over 40 kanji characters that are pronounced "KAI".

Greg responds...

1. I believe so. Yama means mountain, and I vaguely recall that the other names Sora and Kai meant something too. Can't remember what anymore, though. Sorry.

2. Oh. So Sora means sky. That just leaves Kai. Might it mean "Leader"? I just can't remember. But you can ask Story Editor Gary Sperling at the 2001 Gathering in Los Angeles this June.

I'm glad you love "Buffy". I do too; it's such a great show. (Reminds me of a cartoon I used to watch...)

Speaking of vampires (So I'm not subtle. At least I'm not talking about Star Wars any more), is there anything else you're willing to tell us about Gargoyles-Universe vampires?

Are they vulnerable to sunlight, for instance?

How does one become a vampire?

I remain on the edge of my seat.

Oh! And, while I don't know about sixteen people (as you suggested/inferred), I am trying to rope everyone I possibly can into attending the Gathering. Family's covered; time to wear down friends and co workers. I open a lot of conversations with "Did you ever see a show called 'Gargoyles'?"

A friend of mine was once baby-sat by Marina Sirtis. (Ms. Sirtis and my friend's parents were in a production of "the Rocky Horror Show" together.) Now that Marina Sirtis is a guest, I'm sure I can get my friend to come... and her boyfriend... I think I'm up to about five or six good leads, plus my family.

Sixteen.... Maybe.

Greg responds...

Wow. Great going. I'm bringing guests too. Including Marina, Thom Adcox, Frank Paur, Michael Reaves, Brynne Chandler, Jamie Thomason and more. I'm up to 22 now.

Can't you all match that? :)

As to vampires... you'll have to keep that breath bated a little longer. Sorry.

1) How does the Matrix's consciousness/mind work? Is it the collective "mind" of all the nanites, or are some nanites assigned the function of being the "brain", and direct the actions of the rest of the nanites?

2) *Must* the nanites obey the collective mind/"brain-nanites", or is it in their capactity to work apart from it?

3) Did the nanites somehow fuse themselves *into* Dingo's body, or do they just form a suit of armor around him?

Greg responds...

1) All of the above.

2) They all do. Whether they "must" or not is a different issue.

3) Just armor around him. Come to the Gathering to see the BAD GUYS Leica Reel and you'll see how Dingo and Matrix interacted.

I am 15 and my family and I are planning a trip to the gathering 2001. I'm the only one who's really interested. Are the events all day long or just in the evening? Do you know what events are the most important for someone of my age? Thanks.

Greg responds...

Brian, I hesitate to generalize for "someone of [your] age". You're 15. You could be anyone by now.

At any rate, there are a full day's worth of events every day. I recommend keeping a close eye on the Gathering 2001 website. The staff have a mighty impressive schedule in the works, which should see the light of day soon. And you can decide for yourself what you'd like to see. If you have any specific questions don't hesitate to ask them or come back here and ASK GREG.

Hi!

I'd like to ask You for a Carl Johnson, editor of the such wonderful music sound track to the Gargoyles. Yes, I know there's nothing like a original motion picture soundtrack from the series (however, I know about a fan-made one), but what I want to know if something about this guy, especially what other movies he illustrated with music (I've asked many people, on cr too, but nobody know really nothing).

Another question: how You probably know, there was a TV horror movie Gargoyles (which I haven't seen, btw). I'm curious if You saw this movie and if it inspired You even a little.

Sorry for my english (I'm a polish fan), and thank You in advance for answering my questions and doing it for fans - You are great! ^_^

[Btw: I noticed there was a question about a possibility of releasing a Gargoyles role-playing game. If You are interested to see a fan-made amatour rp conversions of series, I've got some (there's much more of this stuff on the web) of them at following adress ftp://vortex.efekt.pl/people/gargoyle%5E/gargoyle_gamez/]

Greg responds...

Carl wasn't the music editor. He was the composer. He's a nice guy, but I don't have access to his bio. He will, however, be a guest at the 2001 Gathering in Los Angeles. I suggest you attend. (I know Poland's a long ways away, but L.A. is a great city to vacation to. And we've had fans come from Europe and even Japan and Israel before.)

If we're talking about the Cornell Wilde/Bernie Casey tv movie, than yes, I saw it. But I don't think I got any inspiration from it, since I saw it AFTER we had developed the series.

Greg responds...

I'd do nearly anything myself. But I don't control the property. Again, Alexandra, if you really want to help than PLEASE attend the GATHERING 2001 in Los Angeles.
