Note to self, learn curling terms.

Maybe you read the other way around ... two attendees in a picture with 1 SE guest, as long as both attendees pay?

If they didn't offer '2 guests in 1 picture' in the on-line store, you would think they're not selling those.

I remember reading somewhere, I believe on twitter, that two attendees could be in a photo with one star as long as each attendee had a ticket for that photo.

**Skydiver** · 27 June 2010, 04:42 PM

correct. 2 paying attendees can be in a singular shot. they'll then make 2 identical copies of the photo - one for each person. however it's ONE PAID GUEST per photo. Paid guest = actor, writer, producer...etc

Basically, how i'm thinking things will be done is while, for example, martin is on stage, damian will be in the photo room, and so on.

as such group actor shots are impossible

As to the MTM event, one photo, one auto per person....that's it. no extras will be for sale.

now for SE, there are more autos available so, theoretically, a person can purchase 2 auto tickets and get them both. bearing in mind that it's 35 bucks each and there's a cap to how many tickets will be sold as a whole.

Hi all you happy people!

Just dropping by to check how all the buzzing and planning for the big events are going. I canâ€™t wait to see all the photos and read all the reports!

Just a quick reminder that the AT5 Photo Mosaic Project is still ongoing and now has the official support from Sanctuary for Kids! Which makes me proud beyond words. Jill Bodie, director of Sanctuary for Kids, was gracious enough to give their support, and thinks itâ€™s a terrific project

So if you have taken photos of Amanda Tapping youâ€™re more than welcome to send them to [email protected]. The deadline is September 1st. And of course anyone willing to lend their Photoshop skills are welcomed to do so too.

(Read more about the project here)

Also a shout out to all you TSE attendees that are planning on bringing their cameras, if you happen snap some pics of the lady herself, i.e. Amanda Tapping, Iâ€™d love to have your photos in the project!

Oh and I couldnâ€™t resist to take a look at the Legends site with all the goodies for TSE. I really hope those fancy S4K t-shirts will be available for AT5 too.

Such a pity...would have loved to have got my hands on one of those shirts...if only to support S4K.

You know I'm not sure whether to feel lucky I was never asked or sad that I wasn't asked...coz I walked into that ball and no one asked....and I wasn't even in fancy dress!!

Chelle hun, you had horns on. Yes, I have pictoral evidence

I'd think your abnormality was somewhat self-evident

I was going to offer to pick you up a shirt, but I see that Cel has beaten me to it, and seeing as she's travelling to see y'all directly afterwards (lucky duck!!!), that makes oodles of more sense! LOL - the thought was most definitely there though!!! *hugs*

Ack! PM me with your size if your able before the sale starts (which is in about 4ish hours) and I'll order you one. You do remember I'll be seeing you shortly afterward.

I think I was only asked because I was early. Probably after so many people walked in, they either weren't able or got distracted. Not to worry!

Wait - you were asked? Then again, mine was a tad self-evident, to be fair ... and I was carrying a load of bluey goodness when we arrived, which seemed to have the effect of parting the crowds like the Red Sea

Yay for the power of Blue Jello!!! *bounces*

Yes, musn't get Sky noodled by customs.

Hope everyone got their desired photos and autos. Since I already have most everyone's I didn't try. I will order a S4K t-shirt though.

No! No dying allowed - it's Miss Maloney's first rule of the classroom I'll have y'all know, and I think it totally applies here too!!! (Yes, there is a story behind that. No, I'm not sharing it right now, as I've currently the attention span of a -- SQUIRREL! *blinks* ... *focuses* - ask me later instead

)

Getting Sky noodled at the border is bad.
Of course, so is trying to get a Canadian, a German, and an American who are all very tired and running very behind schedule across the border in one piece. (...and how do you all know each other? Well, we met at a con...ference! Oh? *eyebrow raised* And where was this conference? ...erm, in England? *blinks as she presumably processes the fact that none of us are UK citizens* O...kay, and what was the nature of this conference? Was it school related? ...do you follow sci-fi, by chance? *pause* Right - here's a nice yellow slip. Drive over where the men in the body armour are playing with the dogs with very big teeth, and wait to be shown to immigration - have a nice day!

*headdesk*)

...and as for the curling commentary being shouted out as a distraction, I'd like to caution that breaking the tension/distracting Eh-T by spontaneously yelling "HARD!" while Amanda is running to a potential bidder is likely to cause some misunderstandings...

Although, I can see how it might be highly amusing...

*waits for Becks to don her health-and-safety hat and smack me upside the head ... remembers that I now own her hat ... hehehehe....*

Awesome! Hopefully I'll be able to budget them in for that event!
Will we also possibly have the black Sanctuary tees with skyscape and Amanda on them, that are also apparently going to S4K?

It's funny coz I can so totally hear you telling this story...in your cute little Canadian accent! I miss you. Can't wait for AT6.

Semi urge?? So what stopped you? Do you guys have to have a special or separate motor bike license to ride a motor bike over there? We have to do special training and get a specific motor bike license if we want to ride over here. Hubby finally got his but he still hasn't got a bike yet...we're planning on going on road trips as soon as we get one. We've talked about going back to Tassie on a bike - just the two of us.

Sadly, I won't be able to go to Canada anymore this summer. My DH was hit by a car on Sunday night and is now in hospital. I'll miss seeing you all there.

Mumsy, I've sent an email to Gabit Central (ask the G4 one).

You'll be missed.

Sending good vibes to DH for a speedy recovery.

How could you forget your horns? We were the horny girls

Hehehe....

Yes, we not only have a separate license for motorcycles/motorbikes (called an "M", conveniently enough) but it's also a graduated one. You do the written to get a 3-month "M1". You theoretically take a motorcycle course during this time (although you don't have to take the course), and then do an "M1 exit" test. If you pass that, you get an "M2" designation, which is good for up to 5 years. At some point during years 2-5, you do another riding test, the "M2 exit", to qualify for your full "M". (We have to do a similar process for our car licenses as well, which are "G1" "G2" and "G". Oh, and to make things even more fun, your licenses are all tied together. If you lose your M you also lose your G ... which is slightly more of a concern for truckers, whose livelihood is dependant on maintaining their "Z" license (qualification for school busses, 18-wheelers, etc.) Sounds fun, eh?) /sarcasm

Way to help my self-restraint - NOT! LOL

Actually the bike that caught my eye is already sold, acc. to their website, so ... considering the prices, I'm thinking it'd be a next year sort of celebratory acquisition. Or something like that!
