Welcome to GateWorld Forum! If this is your first visit, we hope you'll sign up and join our Stargate community. If you have questions, start with the FAQ. We've been going strong since 2004, are we are glad you are here.
Got your PM, by the way. I'll have to talk to Strix, who also suggested a room share. However, she's not definitely going to be staying in the hotel, she might stay with friends in London, and she'll be there with her partner, so things might work out better if we share. I dunno yet... just musing.
The friday night I might be quite tired. I'll be doing postgrad study of some kind and will be coming from a full hard day's slog. But I'll make sure I'm up for a party
Yes... my name is ShimmeringStar and yes, I am a Con Virgin and...... confirmed for GABIT!
Woo-Hoos too ! ((((((((((((((SS))))))))))))

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*
I'd be honoured to chill with you on the Friday evening,or at anytime during the Event,and I'm so glad you got a ticket this time around !
((((((((((((AmberMoon)))))))))))))
On the other hand ,I'm too old and knackered (and so is Hubs !) to go out on the town.Also until the day,we can't even pin ourselves to an ETA at the Renaissance.*
I don't want you to miss any fun,and end up kicking your heels waiting for us to show up.
Go ahead and make plans to paint the town red.
Or .. BRIGHT ORANGE !!
Mal can't get in to do the c/d so...
< 311 days to go..approximately !
*Need to check with the Hotel about holding our room till we arrive.I expect they'll accept a credit card deposit ..plenty time to sort it out...

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
<waves at Kay>
Julia
G4
*slaps forehead* D'oh. Of course you all count, you are attending as well as organizing; unless I am mistaken and you are staying home during the event after organizing it? I am also taking the liberty of adding you all to our cocktail party list. My apologies. Yes Bev, you can slap me now (just this once)

If you can make definite plans elsewhere, go ahead, Tracy! Don't wait on me...

Whatever works. Just let me know. I'm always up for a party...Air Force trained I am.

A party is a party whether you're just sitting there drinking a beer or a nice cup of PG Tips just gabbing away about everything and anything. Meeting all y'all will also be the highlight to my weekend with AT and just to be in good ol' England gives me extra tinglies.
P.S. I so want a Wimpy burger (are they still around?) and some Fruitips Black Currant Pastilles. Yum-yum. Not all at the same time mind you.
It hit me for the first time today that I'm actually going to meet Amanda, and I just burst into tears (Note to other Gabiteers: Bring Diving equiptment). I was totally overwhelmed by it all.
Up until this point, I've been one hundred percent focused on the fact I'm meeting you guys and was really excited about that. For me, meeting you guys is gonna be as important as AT, cos you guys are the ones that I chat to every day on here. It'll be nice to put names to faces.
As for the party, that's fine. We don't need to hit the town at all. We could go to a local pub, or stay in the hotel with biscuits and tea and cadbury's dairy milk (I promise I'll bring some suitably English things with me to munch on, as well as some British pencils for Skydiver)
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.
*waves back at Tracy Jane*
I certainly have seen the Samanda thread. I lurk on there too.
Cool idea about the baseball caps, at least we G4 will see you all coming and know you're Samandans!!
I always work hard! Seriously, you can't stop when you're planning AT2, it's all go. (isn't it Mumsey?? )
And in reply to your later comment about being overwhelmed about the thought of meeting Amanda. Bless you. You'll be fine. Trust me. She's so warm and understanding you'll soon find yourself relaxing.
Take care,
Julia

Oh yes! It's all in the details, and they take some time to sort out.

Nobody believes me when I say that I am quite shy. I used to be painfully shy! If anyone had told me that I would be able to talk freely to the actors from my favourite show, face to face, I would have laughed at them. But my first con was SG2 with Amanda, JR, Don Davies, Teryl and Peter Williams. I laughed the whole weekend, met and chattered to all of the above, particularly Amanda, and also made the beginnings of some wonderful and lasting friendships. The world was opened up to me via the internet, and the rest - as they say- is history.
Don't worry about meeting Amanda. She's a sweetheart and just like ' the girl next door'. As Michael Shanks once said - "That's quite a neighbourhood!"
Mumsey
(Struggled all evening to get into GW, then got in first go after complaining about it elsewhere! Typical! )
Woo-Hoos too ! ((((((((((((((SS))))))))))))

(((FHB)))
There wasn't any option when I registered to be put on a backup list since the Party is sold out. (Although I wonder if there is a waiting list... in case someone isn't able to make it (which ain't gonna happen!))
Mumsey, is there a list on Yahoo or the GABIT forum? Or would an e-mail be sufficient to ask? If there were any openings I'd love to be considered.
But otherwise FHB... I'll be out there with you watching and gabbing and taking plenty of pix as Kligs, Rune, Kat & Bev come waltzing through in their festive finery...

And I just realized, I’ll get to wipe out those mental pictures I have of the mods (mostly thanks to the icons they’ve had…..) and replace them with memories of the real thing!
Feli… a tall Amazon with a *really* big paddle in hand and a smile like RDA’s….
Skydiver… a petite clone of AT with goggles, lugging a parachute behind her…
and GateGipsy…. A mysterious woman in peasant skirt and shawl, looking conspicuously like Daniel…
