Thanks for posting these so quickly!

Cliff Simon is up next.

Spoiler:

*sigh* Tsk, he's so hard to look at...

Spoiler:

During Star Hole, Sgt. Harriman "opens" the "stargate".

Bwahahaha...were the audience required to make the ka-woosh sound?

Spoiler:

Sgt. Harriman types in the gate address while Major Carter (Dean Haglund) keeps an eye on things.

Oh dear....it looks very funny. Was it as good as / better than it looks?

No audience Ka-wooshing sound that I remember from 2008 GateCon and Creation Vancouver this year!!

Photo ops were next up, and our photo ops with Ryan from earlier were all ready printed and ready for pickup! Just realised I haven't mentioned Ryan's panel much so I'll get back to that.
There was then a brief break which gave us time to get another autograph ticket for our photo op pics and see some more of the vendor stuff.
Dean Hagland signed the Starhole photo montage I put together from when I was on stage and chatted to us about a few things.
The autograph session was really nice - got several minutes with Ryan and Cliff, and personalisation on all my pictures.
I had a picture of Ryan and Chris Heyerdahl I'd taken at the Gateworld dinner in Vancouver, and Ryan was chatting to me about it. I thanked him for pulling my name out of the bag and winning me the grand prize and he said "You're welcome", and then I apologised for squealing unexpectedly right beside him when he did it. Comprehension dawned on his face and he said "Oh that was you!!" and laughed.

We then went and had dinner, but the restaurants had waiting lines when we came out so I hope everyone is fed and watered by now.
Starhole is on later tonight, with Karaoke at 10.40. Having a blast so far.
Will post more later.

Love the pictures of you singing with Ryan, TOO COOL!!!

[AnnieS]

Love the pictures AG, TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!

Well a very full day today with Ben, Gary, Paul, and Joe.
It's a little after 2am now so a full Saturday con report will come tomorrow (it takes time to type all those words!)

Briefly I'll say breakfast with Paul and Gary was fun, Ben was very good - a real surprise from what I was expecting, Paul and Joe were in great spirits and we had a lot of fun at our photo ops and their talks, and the autographs were well paced and chatty (with personalisations).

Can't believe it's all over tomorrow. Noooooooooo

Thanks for typing all those words so far! Much appreciated by the poor Aussies (and others) left back home to dream about the con...

Did they combine the FS and SG actors for a big combined brekky, or was Ben there as part of the SG brekky? I keep forgetting he was there for the SG con too...

Yeah, your Sunday hasn't even really started yet, and ours is pretty much over! Have fun on the last day, make lots of nice memories! (and take pics, they last longer...and feel free to share those too, of course )

You all must be having a fabulous time because there's not been a post since early this morning!

[Colonel Rebel]

Wow, everyone! I met Ben and Claudia today! What's amazing is that I did not faint or seem to drool any! I even managed to get a few words out to them. All in all, a pretty successful convention.

I'm just curious... why were you surprised that Ben was good during you talk? And why were you expecting him not to be good?

[Arctic Goddess]

Okay folks...more photos. I'm sure that once everyone gets home, there will be lots of others posted. But, since I was totally exhausted Saturday night, here are both Saturday's and Sundays images:

Please DO NOT TAKE THESE IMAGES WITHOUT PERMISSION

Mr. Robert Picardo, who was as hilarious as ever.




The best image I could get of Claudia and Ben, since I didn't have a seat in the Farscape con.




Paul McGillion and Gary Jones at the Breakfast




Gary Jones chats with fans at their table. I took this before we were told that pictures were not allowed. I'd forgotten that rule. Ooops.





Gary and Paul just after the breakfast and in a great mood. Paul told us that he is now officially engaged. Congratulations, Paul!!




Paul with his Starbucks coffee.




Michael Shanks called me "The Angry Canadian", because I was defending the quality of Canadian T.V. shows. He seems to absolutely hate Steve Bacic's "The Guard".




Michael Shanks signs his name to one of the four banners on either side of the stage.

Yay! I'm a tad jealous!
Isn't he lovely in person? I only 'met' Claudia at her photo op a few years back, so said "hi", and that was it...but Ben, wow, he's just such a nice guy.

I hear Claude brought her little fella onto the stage?

Please Do Not Take These Images Without Permission

Joe Flanigan shows how Paul McGillion put him in a headlock when they were goofing around at Wrestling in a hotel in Canada. Joe said he "didn't tap out, so, McGillion technically didn't win."




Joe considers a question.




Joe gets a phone call from the missus. Because of a question from a fan, he asks her if she thinks he's a flirt.

Gary Jones and Dean Haglund were hilarious. I've seen Star Hole three times now, and every time they add something new that is funny.

Well all, I'm back in AZ. Left right after getting Michael's autograph. I was the one yelling "There's only four people in row F, let them go!" because I had to get my booty over to the airport. Also sitting next to "Guy in the Lakers shirt" who could not win at the auction to save his life. I get so tense at the auctions, even though I don't bid. I just wanted the dude to win something! Haha!

I sort of socialized this year. Talking to the few people I did talk to was quite a step for me. Haha! Of course, I dunno if anyone I bumped into--aside from Sue and Snowflake--frequent these threads. (BTW, did ya see I posted next year's??? )

My pictures came out okay. Better than in previous years. I'm starting to figure out my camera finally. Haha! My photo op with Paul... did not turn out so well. I'm definitely nervous looking and I'm not exactly sure what he was looking at, but it wasn't the camera. Oh well.

Bed time. I took tomorrow off, so maybe I'll spend some time trying to get my pictures online to share.

First convention I ever went to, I bought a new camera especially for it. My first-ever digital camera.
I had no idea how to use it, and with the baaaad lighting that Creation puts on, every single pic came out a giant swishy-light-blur.
It's so nice to finally figure out how to use them, isn't it?

My photo op with Paul... did not turn out so well. I'm definitely nervous looking and I'm not exactly sure what he was looking at, but it wasn't the camera. Oh well.

Meh, just grab his head off someone else's photo op, and photoshop it into yours?

I took tomorrow off, so maybe I'll spend some time trying to get my pictures online to share.

Smart move! Looking forward to seeing/hearing more about the con...

[scaperfan]

Gary Jones and Dean Haglund were hilarious. I've seen Star Hole three times now, and every time they add something new that is funny.

Aww, wish they'd film these things and put them on DVD for us plebs who can't afford to go!

Ah well, pics will have to do. Thanks again for sharing!

[Skydiver]

before I have to go through here and be a complete and total witch and get a few folks pillorying me for spoiling their dose of fan adoration....please check out the rules for posting pictures

All pictures posted with the IMG tags MUST be less than 100K in file size.

They must be less than 700 pixels wide (in other words, they can't stretch the forum)

If you quote them, you must remove those IMG tags. If you don't, then that same pic downloads every single time the page loads and every single time it's quoted. and it bogs down the whole thread.

Do not hotlink from someone else's site without their permission.

In addition, please only post YOUR pictures. Do not steal others and repost them. and, tucking them behind spoiler tags doesn't mean that they don't have to follow the rules.

Just a quick post. I'll post more and some photos when I'm back home (OMG, is it really over? ).

This was my 3rd Creation con and by far the best one. I don't have a single complaint. I've got everything I wanted and much more. Would never have dreamed that I would get the chance for so much interaction with actors at a Creation con!

One of the best things: we got all our photo op pics incredible fast. I did way more as was intendend (I won't say the actual number ) and I like them all. That's a first.

Since I'm also a Farscape fan I had literally no big pauses during the day and missed all the 'filling stuff' like vids, auctions and so. Sadly I also missed some major events like Michael Shanks' panel. And this with a seat in row c...

The one thing I've regretted: I couldn't attend the Karaoke party. The air-conditioning in the hotel is killing my nose and eyes. It's too bad after sticking indoors a whole day.

The best one IMO was the Claudia Black/Ben Browder panel. These two have such a great chemistry together. And Claudia is hilarious.

Well we've checked in, eaten three meals, done some sightseeing, scared the crap out of someone, had a few drinks, and met some new Gateworlders.

Yeah, really thanks for that - um, not? My heart is still pounding like mad.

However, to make this official: @Kathryn Thank you so much for getting me into all the trouble you apparently thought I wouldn't be able to do myself. You know, revenge is sweet?

Yeesh. How many of those came to unfortunate ends? Since it's not an SGU convention, you'd think they could come up with an appropriate SG1 or SGA-themed gift...heck, or both! :-)

Um, mine did. I know I'm not objective since I don't care for SGU at all. But this con and the Chicago one were SG-1/Atlantis cons. I was very disappointed about the SGU gifts. I know the next cons will also be SGU cons. However, these just weren't. They even printed SGU on the pass. The problem? In such big letters that it looks like a SGU con at a first glance. Hm.
