I just hope the bar is open when I get there...

    That sucks! Hang in there.

    Sounds exciting!

    So it's my turn to be waiting at an airport. I'm so excited to be going to my first convention! Also really happy to not have anyone yelling "mom" every few minutes. Frankly right now I'm not sure which of those is making me happier.

      Went exploring today and walked over half of Vancouver I think with Dimonah and Maidenhead Reds.

      We were in Chinatown and ran into Nathan Fillion. No we didn't get to talk with him because he was in the middle of filming scenes for the next Percy Jackson movie, but we did stand there and stare for a while. Too bad we couldn't get him aside and invite him to dinner tonight.

It will be an amazing experience if you are going. I will not be going but i was wondering if anyone here was going and i would love to talk about pictures or videos you might take. All in all the stargate franchise is one of the best tv seres yet.
        Hi, and welcome to the thread. We will likely post photos on here during or after the con. Who, in particular, were you hoping to see pictures of?

          Rinkrat and I drove in from Calgary. It took us 11 hours. Rinkrat was kind enough to chat at me for all that time to keep me alert and focused while driving. Thanks, RR.

              Hey everyone, brand new forum member here with my first post (long time lurker).

              Just wanted to say I live in Vancouver about 2 blocks from the convention and I'll be there all weekend (SG-1 is one of my favourite shows!). I'll be bringing my DSLR and I plan to take a lot of photos and post them here if possible.

              Also, is there going to be any kind of pre-meetup tomorrow before entry at ~1pm or so?

                Hello Spiderman!

                As far as I know there isn't anything official but some folks might have mentioned something about breakfast.


                I just wanted to pop in here and say a quick hello! It was nice to meet some of you tonight and I'm looking forward to meeting more of you tomorrow!

                      I know! I've been a fan of his ever since I saw him as Coach Cutlip on The Wonder Years.

                        It was great yesterday

                        - seeing all those familiar faces, the expected and the unexpected ones
                        - getting to know some new people (please be patient when I might not remember your (forum)name, I'm bad with names). Just hadn't the chance to talk to everybody.
                        - Frank Cassini sat at our table for a brief time - he is a nice guy.

                        The plan for today: breakfast, getting some fresh air and then starting the con fun.

                          Had a great day yesterday. Wonderful to meet up with old friends and new!

                          Really enjoyed the location tour, I finally got to see Bordertown (A Hundred Days/Beast of Burden), that was a nice unexpected surprise. Lynn Smith tried to choose locations that you can't get into without prior arrangement so got to see some places you wouldn't see otherwise!! It was just a little weird going back to the area of Vancouver I live in, only to go back to the Hilton afterwards, have a great time at the get together dinner and going back to Maple Ridge again, lol!

                          Well, back into the car now and off to Burnaby for more Stargate fun!!! I'm going to try and take notes and do the panel reports for this last Stargate con.

                              Official Final GateWorld Dinner Sign-Up
                              Sunday, April 29, 2012 at 8pm
                              Earl's -- 4361 Kingsway (just around the block from the hotel)



                              It's officially time to start planning for what will (sadly) be the final official GateWorld dinner in Vancouver. Our home for the past several years (Sammy J Peppers) closed their doors, so I was tasked with finding a new and last home for us that was nearby and could accomodate all of us. It wasn't an easy job.

                              Prices for menu items are mostly comparable to previous years. Attending the dinner does not mean you HAVE to eat. The potential size of this year's group -- between forum members, special guests (some are con guests, some are NOT), and Stargate crew -- means that eating may need to be staggered no matter how we do it. Rest assured though, between the spacious lounge area we'll have, the cast and crew drop-ins I'm setting up, potential prize giveaways and the later closing time (11pm)...we're all going to make this final dinner one not to forget.

                              To sign up, simply reply to this post, add your forum name in the appropriate area, and remove the quote tags. It's as simple as that. Please also indicate if you plan on bringing guests (+1, +2, etc.). Extra guests are fine, but only forum members can win any potential prizes we giveaway.

                              Finally, Earl's has stated that giving them a menu list of our choices is unnecessary. However, as an aid to both them and us, we're doing it anyway. After reviewing the menu off their site, please PM mamasue9 with your items. She'll be keeping tabs over the next 10 weeks.

                              Can't wait to see all of you in Stargate's hometown one final time!
