GABIT attendees thread

[SamJackShipLover]

Not so this time. Just to shake things up a bit we are going to call the back rows first for photos and then autos. As we only have a handful of tickets left nearly everyone will be in the hall seating lottery anyway so where you end up sitting will be determined by that and not where you have sat before.

We have to work either front to back or back to front for both photos and autos so that the printing of photos can happen before the autos sessions. so we will be starting from the back this time for a change.

No worries Becks, those of us that have come across Amanda before know (and appreciate) that she likes to take a few moments with each person at the auto and photo sessions, and that things often overrun because of that. I was just letting the newbie know that AT events are not totally regimented and that sometimes a little patience is required I've been to a couple of non GABIT cons lately and although I have thoroughly enjoyed them the photo and auto sessions felt very rushed (queue, smile, click, go - queue, hi, sign, go), which is not the case with Amanda.

I loved the Bob The Builder one - hilarious!

Bob the builder? Please elaborate

loved seeing so many Gabiteers at LFCC, it seemed like a mini Amanda con

My fave is still the goat herders. There are pictures. John in leaderhosen. Jenn as a nun and the rest of the g4 with golden wooly braids. So much fun

Best auction bucket run has to be the hard hats for baton twirling for fun but Julia's torch run at AT6 is unbeatable in the emotion stakes.

What are your favourites?

Off the top of my head, the Dalek that didn't work properly and then when she picked it up it started up and scared her so much she nearly dropped it! Tim's replicator was good too.

I love hearing all these awesome memories! Keep them coming people!

Can't wait to meet you all!

OMG reading these has made me giggle soooo much, I am so excited, but have made a memo to myself, remember to bring tena ladies, think I'm literally going to be PMSL all weekend!!!

[lame moose (mocha)]

the "sound of music" was my favorite. don't remember the Dalek-must have been before my time there, but do remember the replicator- that was cool.

I just want to huggle Mumsey!! *hugs*

My memories from the AT events are kind of jumbled together. The dalek stands out for me too.

It's not a get-off, but one of my fav memories is from a Q&A at AT3 (my first AT event). They managed to get RDA on the phone and he and Amanda were chatting for all of us to hear. RDA was asking: what are you ... and before he could say (presumably: doing), Amanda said: wearing?
Lolol.
There might have been talk of fishing too

On Livejournal there are a couple of conventionreports around, from previous events. Might be fun to read for the newbies
I wrote out all Q&As for AT3 here.
I think Sanna did so for AT4. Can't find a link though.
This is a newbies job, so you know what to do for AT7

And PengYn has some beautiful reports written, probably also with the Q&A's.

Also, very much a favourite memory is Amanda and Tracy stuck in an elevator (as Magnus and ... Druit IIRC ... am not sure). Laughed till I cried

Woohoo! Thank you so much for the link! I can't wait to read more about this

So what did you mean by a newbies job? LOL

You have to remember ALL questions and ALL answers. And write them down in a nice report.

It helps to write down keywords during the panel and make the report soon after the event <-- this is me just being helpful

I made a report for AT6. It's on my LJ page

Happy for all of you, I'm sure it was lovely.

My favourite "get-off" was the Sound of Music. Been a huge fan of that movie since I was wee. Always regretted I didn't buy one of the singing goats but found one at a local store before Christmas and bought it for my great-nephew. He loves it!
