stargate chicago 2012 creation convention

[Celandine]

I just really hope they get more SG-1 stars. Like Michael Shanks or Amanda Tapping. Maybe one or two from SGU as well. :-)

Wasn't it '09 when AT appeared? I bought a Gold pass for that event and it was great. With Creation claiming that Chicago is the last official Stargate con in the world (according to their site) I'd hope more actors would try to make an appearance if possible. Would be fantastic.

That being said, I'm hoping to come up on the Saturday for the day. Ryro, Jewel, Rachel, Torri.. all scheduled that day so pretty excited.

[Vecturist]

Excited that Torri will be there, but wish she'd be on Sunday with Joe. Still, it will be a good 'women of Atlantis'

We are two people short of perfection. Jason and David. :-)

Yep it was 09 - a very good Con...Michael was there too....it was also the last time it was held at the Wyndham I think....I had a room that was on the 12th floor, with a faulty door lock which meant that I had to go back to the reception to change it about a dozen times, and had a window directly under the flight path at O'Hare which was cracked and held together with silver duct tape........I felt very "MacGyver-ish" I can tell you!...

In spite of that I had a blast!...and fell in love with Chicago at the same time......I haven't been back but would love to return one day....


Of course it's not just the actors that have to try and make the appearances, the right amount of money has to be there for them too.....as much as they love the fans, they don't do these things for free or "cut price" bargains......I guess Creation has to weigh up the budget when deciding who is, or isn't, going to come....


That being said, I'd love to come, but budgets this year are tight and there are other places in the world/UK/Europe I want to travel to.....but I'm lucky that I saw Michael in Paris last year and it's only about 5-6 weeks until I see Amanda in England...

Wait a minute. Is she confirmed? Cause this might change my vacation plans if I can see her and Joe on the same weekend.

[Rosehawk]

Yeah! Torri's coming!

Now if we can get David Blue!!!!!!

[Scary Kitty]

I must also express my EXTREME DISAPPOINTMENT that Creation failed to book Torri and Joe on the same day. The two original leaders of Atlantis reunited on stage? This should've been a no-brainer. I have been waiting to get a photo op with Joe, Torri, and the "Before I Sleep" pot ever since I won it during the Propworx live auctions, but without having to go overseas to do it (I hate flying), and I'm seriously irked that I've now been thwarted in my quest for the third year in a row. Grr.

After the success of the Joe and Torri appearance at HalfCon, I would have thought it would be an easy decision to capitalize on that success. We want them together, not a day apart. Please Creation, do their fans a favor and reschedule one of them.

Agreed. Saturday's schedule looks pretty full with five guests on the list, while Sunday currently only has Joe, Paul and David Nykl. Moving Torri to Sunday might relieve some pressure on Saturday. Plus, hello, they can make more money on an "Original Leaders of Atlantis" dual photo op.

[Rosehawk]

I hope they offer a Torri, Jewel, Rachel goup photo op on Saturday and a Joe, David, Paul one on Sunday!

They have a really fun line-up this year!

[james watson]

Creation have added Paul McGillion to the guest list. Yay!

thanks for the friend request, do u have facebook?? if so send me a friend request there too, thanks
james.

I'd like to see Joe and Torri on the same day as well. They were cute together in France. Sometimes Creation does change their mind (David & Joe weren't always scheduled together.*g*) You can email them at: adam@creationent.com and gary@creationent.com I think Adam does more of the bookings.

[clairesvendsen]

Some evil and mean people (insert big smile here) has noticed that there are no longer "more guest to be added" below the guestlist. Hear me cry a bit....

Maybe we are lucky and Creation will have mercy on us and grant us a big SG-1 guest right when we least expect it. Maybe Baal or one of the other big villains :-)

It might just be an omisssion. The con isn't for another 6 months or so.

[clairesvendsen]

As Barb said/wrote in other words; we have a wonderful line up, so no need for tears :-)

Time to start the email campaign! And maybe spam the Twitter account, too.

I think you're right. Just comparing the Vancouver and Chicago con pages, Vancouver currently has 17 guests listed, Chicago only 11. They're probably still in negotiations with potential guests.
ETA: And leaving wiggle room for moving guests to different days!

I think the Vancouver con normally has more than the Chicago one.

If I remember correctly, last year, the Chicago con only had 11 guests:

Gary Jones
Alexis Cruize
Alex Zahara
Kavan Smith
Ben Browder
Chris Judge
Paul McGillion
Joe Flanagan
J.R. Bourne
David Hewlett
David Delouise

17? they had 18 the other day.
It's the "russian officer", which has been removed again.

The price for the gold ticket is the same. Is the hotel that much cheaper i Vancouver, that they can pay for 6 more actors? Just doesn't make sense.
With that said, some of the photo ops are more expensive in Vancouver.

it could be that Vancouver is local to some of the guests, so they don't have to pay hotel or airfare for them.
