Cool, thanks!

Could this be this year's Get In The Gate winner? Seems like it's usually the season finale before those pop up.

Don't think so. The contest is just winding up? Unless you mean last year's winner? Well, they've only got two months left!

UPDATE: Nope, this person got a winning bid (yikes, must have cost a pretty penny!) - backtrack the blog to http://atlantimentary.blogspot.com/2...1_archive.html

Crafting of Gate Services

Sorry for the delay in posting...it's been a busy few weeks but I'm back now and there is so much more to talk about. So, where was I? Ah, yes, I've now been properly outfitted for my trip to Atlantis...umbrella and all!

Leaving the safety of the make-up trailer and plunging into the elements of a warm, damp summer's day, we made our way to the set of Atlantis where filming had been occurring for several hours. Waiting for the red light above the entrance to the stage to extinguish signaling the end of a scene's filming, we entered the building. When I say building, a more appropriate description would be that of a large plane hanger or Costco-sized warehouse. There are several buildings that call themselves home to the different sets of Atlantis. On this particular day of filming it is the main Atlantis set we were heading to - the location of the Gate, Weir's office, the infirmary, Rodney's lab, etc.

Crafting of Gate Services Part 2

http://atlantimentary.blogspot.com/2...es-part-2.html

(Please follow the link for the complete blog update. There are additional photos at the site, includine one of the author posing with actor Kavan Smith [Major Evan Lorne].)

As we moved through the Atlantis set, our hostess, Brigitte, provided little tidbits of Atlantimation (my word for information about the Atlantis set and crew). We were quickly introduced to different members of the film crew. Thankfully, no post-introduction test was administer as I'd have failed miserably. I'm terrible with remembering names. Heck, some of my good friends can attest to my inability to recall a name upon introduction. I've tried repeating someones name after being introduced to no avail. I now have learned to just politely ask a person to remind me when I forget...but I digress...again.

The Journey Continues

So...it has been quite a long time since I've last posted. Life has a way of slipping by if you don't pay attention! Now, where did I leave off...oh yes, Kavan! Um, and what a place to leave off...so, after meeting w/Kavan. We were introduced to David Nykl , (Dr. Zelenka) who was also a fabulously generous person with his time. We took several pictures and talked for quite a while until it was time for him to return to work - darn work!

We returned to the Atlantis gate during a break in filming. I believe they were changing the set for the next scene. And to our wonderful surprise, we were introduced to Amanda Tapping! Anyone who has met Amanda, knows how much of a truly genuine human being she is and how gracious and kind she is with her time as well....
