    I very publicly stated at the GateWorld dinner the Sunday night of the 2011 con that it was going to be my final trip to Vancouver. After 4 years in a row on a budget that couldn't support those trips (thank you to every single person that helped me make the trek the past 2 years...you know who you are), I felt very secure that night telling all of you that it was my last hurrah. Under the assumption that the con itself would carry on.

    GateWorld has maintained a presence at VanCon every year since its inception. From the beginning, it was Darren and David. Beginning in 2008, it was Darren, David and myself. Beginning in 2010, it was just me.

    GateWorld was there for the beginning. And it will be there for the end.

    Barring something earth-shattering, count me in....meaning the final official GateWorld dinner will also be a go. Hope you guys have been happy with the way I've done it the last 2 years.


    That said....I probably will need to find roomies (male or female) that are willing to take me in for no cost. I'm not even remotely kidding about the budget thing (my flight is being covered by a great friend's graciousness). I can't help at all. But I'm great company, and it's for a good cause. If any one wants to house an orphan, PM me.

      I was wondering if you would be there...glad you are. I plan on having the Farewell Dinner and combining it with a Celebration of Graduation. It's the graduation present to myself. Anyone else who's graduating from college or a tech school and have access to your cap and gown...be there!! Group picture!! My grad ceremony is on May 3rd at ASU West, so I can't stay for too many days.

        You've become a second @nakedwesley for me. She is following me all the time as well.

        I was wondering about that. If you would bumb into them all the time.

        Guess I'm doing something wrong. I go to North America cons "all the time", but I hardly can go to the cons which are almost at my doorstep (England)...

        Hey, that's great news! It wouldn't have been the same otherwise....

        I really think we should try to make the last SG Van con very special and the final highlight. No pressure, though.

          It always varies. Last year in Vancouver, for the first three days, I did the door and vending so when it was not busy, i could see the talks. The last day, I was Corin's handler. I saw his talk but not anyone elses (though it was a threesome with Jamil and JR so that was great.)

          In Chicago, I was a runner and floater most of saturday so I missed the morning talks unless I was floating in to cover lunch breaks. By evening, I was a handler again and then a handler on sunday. So I saw David and Joe's talks. I happened to be on break to see JR's as well. I don't know what I'm going to be doing until I get there though. I've always been pretty happy with what I do get to see.

            I'd like to say that we just have good taste. In reality, I just think we can't get enough of conventions!

              Hi all,

              This con reminds me of the 1st one I attended in Vancouver in April 2007.
              So in order to celebrate I am going to try and do the same things again - sadly not the set tour.
              I've booked the location tour and will happily attend any dinners, parties etc that are being organised.

              Looking forward to seeing you all again and wait with anticipation to see which guests come.

                Hey now! I think it's you who have been following me.

                Wow, after 5 years, I have FINALLY reached 500 posts. Will I get a promotion now?? Tired of being a second lieutenant.

                  Oh my. The last VanCon? Read that email to my hubby and he said, "Well, don't give up; sometimes miracles happen." Yes, they do, but I don't think I'll hold my breath for this one. It sure would be fun to be able to go to the last one though. When my sweet husband told me in 2005 for the first one, "You should go," I could hardly believe it but I had a blast, met great people and even returned several more times. Almost seems "wrong" not to come to the last one, but life has changed and I don't have the freedom to do these kinds of things like I did before. Oh well. It will be fun to read about it when you all go and then post your experiences here on the forum. Enjoy it for those of us who can't be there.

                  Thanks for the VanCon sig, Nathan!

                    Shame you can't make it. I was wondering how far we would get with getting the band back together with as many of those who came over the years as possible.

                      Thanks, Krisz! Yes, I would love to be there again. I suppose there's a thin thread of possibility, but I don't hold out much hope that it could really happen. Guess I'll just have to wait and see. I'm glad for those who will be able to go though.

                            The first two guests have been announced... thus far it's an Atlantis Spotlight as on Friday, Ryan Robbins will take the stage while; on Saturday, Kavan Smith takes the spotlight.

                            Kavan was awesome this past April and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing Ryan Robbins.
