The next post exceeds 550kb, so anyone with a 56k connection has been warned.

Very cool thank you David

[ShadowMaat]

Nice pics, David. If I could ever be bothered to spend money on a decent camera, I could probably get some nice ones, too, but pic taking isn't a priority to me. Fortunately, I know there are guys like you running around getting the shots I can't. Thanks for sharing!

It helps to have a good seat in the house.

Michael Shanks has excellent taste in beer.

Another great set of pictures David. Thanks very much.

How 'bout some names to go with the faces? Not everyone can identify everyone on sight, ya know.

Yes, I know Amanda, Don, Chris and Mike... and I know some of the others, but I also get a lot of them mixed up...

Plus there are all the poor buggers who weren't there at all.

[David]

OKOK, when I'm at work tonight I'll fix 'em up

[ShadowMaat]

Thankies, David.

It's not like I like cracking the whip or anything (*ahem* wrong thread for that). I just gotta make sure I keep you on your toes.

It's all for the good of the fans... honest.

[Skydiver]

i'm sure you recognize teryl and don, and behind teryl while she's typing, that's Richard, one of the C4

the 3 guys, one with the kilt - alex zahara (tons of characters, mostly aliens), douglas arthurs (might have misspelled that, he's heru'ur) and brent stait (ferretti and he was also rev bem <?> on andromeda)

below that is dan payne, aka big honkin super soldier, one dude i can't remember, and frida bertrini (which i also can't spell, Lya the nox)

dougie is a great guy, fantastic personality. y ou just have to watch it if Davey Palffey is around (anubis) those two men together.....oh my. not only is the scenery fine but they're ornry as all get out

[ShadowMaat]

Thanks, Skydiver. I knew I could count on you to be a know-it-all.

Will second the warning of danger when Davey and Dougie are together. I consider myself very lucky to have avoided them thus far. Not that I've heard anyone complain about them, of course. hehe

True story:

Mom was out next to the pool, tanning, apparently looking radiant as ever, when Doug Arthurs comes by and notices her. He approaches and asks if he may kiss her hand. "Huh?" Mom asks, curiously, while four Stargate fanfemales sit in a hot tub near by, saying "You're more than welcome to kiss our hands!"

Doug turns to them and says "I only kiss women who like getting tans." While they continue to goat him, hoping he'll come over, he turns back to mom who kindly smiles and blows him off in the sweetest way.

"He had the most beautiful teeth!" she said to me later. She pointed him out to me among a sea of people, and sure enough it was Doug. Mom, who is only one of the most casual fans, had no clue who he was.

I swear that is always the way it happens, the person least interested is the one that attracts attention. Good for your mom David.
