GABIT attendees thread

[SWMBOTGSG]

Woohooooooo! Mumsey's here!!! Did you ever fix your printer?

(Slurps tea) Thanks for that.

Yes, I beat it into submission. It took too much of a liking to the paper I put in and decided to eat it several sheets at a time! Inevitably it got a belly-ache and seized up.

It's a rebellious little thing. Not only did it chuck the paper out the back in revenge, but it changed its default to Landscape and I have to reset it every new session. Grrrrr.

I'd zat the wretched thing, but it would only retailiate, and I'm currently winning, so I won't. (don't tell it that though - it might get above itself again)

Thanks for the lovely welcome kids. Nice to be here.

Printers that are above their stations? Typical.

Mine has taken to eating half a sheet at a time. It feeds a sheet half way through before printing, then the paper inevitably gets jammed.

I hate the things, I really do.

And you're welcome for the welcome (pardon the lousy choice of wording)

Looking forward to meeting you guys. It's gonna be awesome (No pressure! )

[ForeverSg1]

Yes, I remember your table manners!

LOL! Well I'm happy to say that over the past few months I have been working on my table manners, so hopefully I won't be an embarrassement to anyone this time around.

And as for all those shy people out there, please don't let that stop you from going to the convention or chatting with us if you are there. The Gabit gang really are a great group of guys and gals.

I'm one of those strange people who tend to ramble on the more nervous I become, so the truth of the matter is if its hard to squeeze a word in edgewise, I'm probably extremely nervous. I just it hide it better than most.

I'm also a very very VERY bad flyer. Before Gabit, I hadn't been on a plane in nearly four years. I've avoided traveling like the plague. Honestly, I don't think I would be willing to fly to London even if someone offered me $10,000 cash to do so, but for some reason it all seems totally worth the ten hour flight to go to Gabit when I know I get to meet/see Amanda and my wonderful GW/SaGC family.

[ForeverSg1]

I didn't actually get a chance to say hi to any of the members of G4 last year, but I really want to thank you for all the hard work you went through to put together Gabit and for doing it again this year. Gabit really was a smashing weekend and I can't wait to do it all again in November. I'm sure you probably have all the help you need and I'm not really sure what I could do from the States, but if there's anything I can do to help, please do not hesitate to ask.

Ditto from me. If there's anything I can do to help, just shout up.

ME ME ME!

Yes mom

If I missed anybody; sing out and let me know. I may have missed you compiling the list from posts. Except Bev, please don't sing.

[Skydiver]

Hi Kids!

Just sticking my head above the parapet for the first time on the GW boards.

I've been watching the fun on this thread since it started, and was itching to reply at times. Well, now I can.

Have fun. Looking forward to seeing you all in November.

Mumsey

Thanks for the advice to the CT Party People.I can't go,(school week) but I intend to raise He..er,amuse myself, hanging around the foyer area looking for any nice people from GW or other AT fans who might want to chill during the Friday evening.

(Nearly ended up partying with the crew of an airline last time.*Cough* )

*snip*

Baggie, I'll chill with you in the foyer if you don't mind hanging with an retired USAF pointy head (< it's an official USAF term), gutter girl, S&J shipper chick who just happens to adore AT but couldn't get a cocktail ticket before they sold out but is still all tingly about going to GABIT2 in November. *takes a breath*

If I won't be alone, it might be worth me heading down for friday night as well.

We could hit the town, I suppose. My sister lives in London, so she'll show us all the spots.

I don't think you can actually count Mumsey (SWMBOTGSG) as an attendee since she's one of us G4, but if you want to add anyone who is on the GW list then I guess Becky and I count too, but being organisers I don't think any of us count as attendees! LOL

How's it going? Dunno if you've seen the Samanda thread recently, but we're getting way too excited about Gabit... there are baseball caps being planned!

Anyhooo...hope you're not working *too* hard.
