GABIT attendees thread

Hey, I just thought of something. I thought I read somewhere that you can have a group shot with Amanda if you so chose; however it uses your free photo (not positive about this or not). If anyone is interested, Id be more than willing to use my photo time to get one of us all together with Amanda. Honestly, I think I would be a tad too nervous to get a picture with her alone.

Okay, I caved in and registered during an early morning surf before the work really starts today so I can answer any questions if Becky's not around - depends which one of us sees it first,but this way you'll all get a fast response.

In answer to the query about photographs. You all get one photograph with Amanda. If you decided to have a photograph with a friend or group of friends, then you would have to use your photograph opportunity and use hers/theirs as well to get this done. What would happen is that John, our photographer, would take as many shots of the same pose of the duo/group as there are people in the shot, so you both/all get a print. I hope this helps. The FAQ at the site has a lot of answers to questions but shout if you need. Please ensure that if you want this option, you make sure that one of the stewards in the room tells Becky, who is in charge of the Photograph/Autograph sessions and she will make sure John is aware when you actually get to your turn.

Okay off to do some work now.

Take care all,

I think that the G4 is meeting long into the evening this weekend to tighten up the rules and schedule of events. So there may be some changes in all that's been posted at their website so far. Let's see what develops around the picture taking.

Can you imagine smiling and posing with 300-400 people in one afternoon? And Amanda makes it look so natural; she seems to treat each fan in a respectful and special manner. You read this time and again - that Amanda made the fan feel so attended to, listened to. That's quite a gift - to possess that kind of gracious personality.

How many of you here have already met her in person? What was your first impression? And how many of you have been lucky enough to have had a photo taken with her already? Care to share your experience with us first-timers?!

The first time I had a photo with her I cried. The second time I was fine..... This time i'm wondering if she'll notice my hair is longer....

LOL, Kat's right - it was her list! Methinks I may prefer a rum and diet coke or wine rather than lemonade!

[ChopinGal]
