GABIT attendees thread

[Tracy Jane]

Laf, before Gabit, I would have thought you to be correct about us scarying Amanda off, but after seeing her participate with the curley wurley's and the auction, I'd say Amanda is just as wacky as the rest of us.

Ok, I retract my comment. I can imagine the chaos!!!!

[SWMBOTGSG]

i happen to have a nice pic of anubis in his tighty whities (from the back...becky happened to have a 'perfect' view of his front)

She wasn't the only one. If you look carefully at your picture, you'll probably see me sitting on the stage...

Mumsey
(who *used* to be painfully shy...)

Oh dear me! Anubis in his pants.... interesting concept!

*runs and squeezes Mumsey excitedly*

As for you, Mumsey, was this the turning point in your shyness?

[ShimmeringStar]

*laughing-* festive finery? I usually look like I've been pulled through a hedge backwards so that should be quite a task to pull off

Bev will be wearing her lurex cat suit with sequined trims and Kliggs has promised to don the pvc number again (the one with the spangly dangly accessories.)

*makes a quick exit before Kliggs catches up*

LOL! Now that's a mental image for sure! Rune dressed up in nothing but strategically placed privet hedge branches, the light twinkling on/off Bev's sequins like a disco ball, and K, daring us to even crack the smallest grin at her.....

[ShimmeringStar]

hehehehe, bring my chute huh????? yeah, i'll have fun at customs!!

acutally, i don't have a chute. the one time i jumped i borrowed the chute but i did wear goggles. there's even a pic of me somewhere, i'll need to find it

eta: there it is. bout time i changed my avatar anyway

*grins* Now that's the avatar I'll always associate with Sky!

Now for a con/foreign travel virgin 'it's a dumb question' question.... anything to watch out for at customs? Not that I plan to bring anything too crazy....

[ShimmeringStar]

ooooh you're going to be a tad disappointed! I'll see if I can dig up the peasant skirt and shawl for you but I've got to say I look nothing like Daniel! I do wear glasses but I have long dark wavy hair, olive skin, brown eyes and am 5 foot 2 and a half inches tall. I have a kiwi accent, and no ability to speak other languages at all!

LOL! Good thing you don't look like D. I'd be awfully worried. ((((GG))))

Hmmmm......how will you all place me?

Hmmmm.... a few inches taller than you.... piercing blue eyes.... glasses too (need a new pair though- and I hate shopping for a new pair!).... deep dimples..... can't guarantee what the hair'll look like though!!! It's been short for several years and last year I said the heck with it & didn't get it cut at all, so now it's several inches past my shoulders.... Uh-oh... another decision.... The Hair Question! *giggles* Clothes won't be a problem... I plan to be comfortable..... but oh that hair!

[Tracy Jane]

Now you've put that image in*my* head. Damn you, I'm gonna have nightmares.

As for Sky... she had that avatar when I first joined, but since my "second coming" (for lack of a better expression) she's had the Sam at a computer one.

[ShimmeringStar]

Now you've put that image in*my* head. Damn you, I'm gonna have nightmares.

You're quite welcome!

[Skydiver]

yep, i remember. you and becky had such an ...ahem interesting view

dougie and davey were absolutely priceless

[Skydiver]

it's a little little, but it's the only pic i have handy

[Tracy Jane]

You're quite welcome!

That's it... I've changed my mind. I don't wanna come any more. You're all scary!!!

[ForeverSg1]

Well I have to admit, I'm an occassional lurker at the RDA thread, and I was a bit nervous about meeting the Gutter Gals at Gabit, but they really were a great bunch of gals. I'm sure some people may think we all sound sickly sweet with all our raves and comments about Gabit, the fans, G4 and Amanda; but honestly I can't remembe the last time I had so much fun...at least when alcohol wasn't involved. I laughed so hard during the auction and the curley wurley event that my stomach literally ached afterwards.

The way I look at it, if you go to AT2 with an open mind and just tell yourself that you are going to go to London, hang out with a bunch of wacky people from Gateworld and have a great time, how can you possibly go wrong? Then on top of that, imagine yourself getting to listen to Amanda answer questions in not only one interview panel, but four! Oh and to sweeten the weekend even more, toss in the autograph and photo sessions and other exciting events.

So let me hear you people!!! Are we going to have fun!?!?!?

Nervous about the meeting the gutter gals; I can't imagine why.

YES, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE FUN!

[AmberMoon]

I know I can't wait to meet my fellow GGG's and Samandan's. I was so jealous after reading all the posts on how much fun all y'all had at GABIT and I vowed I would go if there was a next time...well here's the next time (thank you thank you thank you G4) and I'm a-going.

[Tracy Jane]

It does sound exciting but a little nerve wracking. Can someone please explain the curly wurly thing.... I'm assuming we're talking about the cadbury's chocolate and toffee bar (just eating one right now)

Am not sure whether we're allowed to explain about the Curly Wurly thing yet - one of the G4 would probably be better placed to answer that You're correct in assuming it was Curly's of the Cadbury's variety though

You have nothing to be afraid of regarding the GW Gabit lot, they're only scary when they're glowing

[GateGipsy]

Kliggins - well my fellow kiwi's don't think I have a kiwi accent anymore. When I go home to NZ I'm asked what part of britain I'm from! But as far as most Brit's are concerned, I sound like I've just come off the plane

ShimmeringStar - I'm glad I don't look like Daniel either! Altho, maybe a female version wouldn't be so bad, probably quite good looking really! Still, I'd not like to look like my avatar. All that facial hair! And it would be boring to be in black and white

[Kelspook]

Thanks for the warm welcome folks- This thread doesn't half move along fast, lol.

You can add me to the list for the cocktail party and attending, too. It's gonna be a blast!

Julia, you'll be fine when you meet Amanda, she's very good at putting people at their ease. I was very nervous the first time I met her, but she really is easy to talk to.

I can't wait to see those bunny ears, lol.
