GABIT attendees thread

[GateGipsy]

you can put me down for an orange juice for the drinks list. However, I have to ask. This isn't a round is it? If so can I opt out? It is just that I don't drink, and there's only so many soft drinks you can have, and it is a rather long list. Not sure I can drink that many OJ's!

[Bagpuss]

ForeverSg1 : Your poem is great,imo. Even if you don't win,Amanda will be presented with a folder /book containing all the contest entries at Gabit anyway...so she'll definitely see your work !

Uber SG-1 Fan : Pity you'll not be there. Look out for full "reports" though.Good luck with the vid contest.Seems you're well ahead atm...

Still chewing over the orange question myself here ... guess if worse comes to worse I can always dye my hair or turn up with a headdress made of Starburst wrappers & feathers (actually that's quite appealling) however I'm not quite that desperate ... not yet anyway

Er,the "orange theme" was just for the Saturday Disco. However ,if you want to spend the entire w/e doing a fab impression of a traffic light or a Tango can,be our guest !

Shame my cat shoes are red not orange huh, Kliggs?

Those shoes sound interesting...I'm assuming you mean they're normal shoes with a cat motif or similar decoration.

MAL : Understood ! Best I make sure I sign into GW by 10 am tomorrow to do the countdown.Have a great time in Llyndan...

((((((((((Gipsy)))))))))) Panic not !
The plan is separate bills at the Bistro for food/drinks,and at the bar later.
However ,Kliggins wants to buy us each a drink at the bar,then we're under no obligations to buy rounds.
(Just as well,or we'd either get waterlogged or so tipsy,the stewards wouldn't let us near the disco !)

Ohhhh absolution *phew* not that I really have any qualms about dressing up like Carmen Miranda but there again I can't say I'm not relieved

And interesting is a polite way of describing the cat shoes, my husband calls them something else entirely

[dipsofjazz]

Aww, now I know who my competition is! I was wondering who had the cool S/J poem. After I read it I didn't think I stood much of a chance. ROFL.

It's so cool to look up at the contest submissions, because I've found out that I know so many of the other contestants. I'm still in awe that there is a possibility that Amanda may actually see some of my fanart. It makes me all tingly inside... tingly in a good way... not in a weird way. LOL

We're not really in competition, but just friends who've submitted something that Amanda will, hopefully, see and enjoy.

I love the site, and think every one of the submissions is great.

[dipsofjazz]

I am supposed to vote every day, for how long?

For ever!!!!

*Adds big hat and bunches of bananas,grapes, a pineapple, and some strawbs to the (long !) Gabit w/e packing list*
Oh,I don't intend to wear that lot..I just like to snack healthily !
Should you decide on the Carmen persona ,though,I'll save you some fruit.

Good grief...has the man no soul ? Or are they more embarassing than I'd imagined ?

I'll do you a deal.You bring the "cat shoes" and I'll bring my Bagpuss mascot.

For ever!!!!

Or until the closing date ! (Oct 6,I think ?)

[Rune]

Heheh, okay it's a deal!

And yes, he has no soul!

[Bagpuss]

Deal done ! I'll have to slip my mascot into my suitcase and hope Hubby doesn't throw a hissy.
*sigh* He has no "soul" either,you see.

I wasn't planning to take the real Baggie into the Con Hall anyway !

[GateGipsy]

oh whew, relieved about the rounds thing!

[Bagpuss]

LOL ! Me too...as there are currently 13 of us on the Get-together list,it'd take all Sat night and most of Sunday just to get through those 13 rounds.
Not to mention the need to queue constantly for the toilets....

[dipsofjazz]

For ever!!!!

Shhhh! Don't tell Kligs.

[SEREN LWCH (MAL)]

My friend RJ has had to drop out of the convention

I actually like the dying the hair orange; I am sure Amanda would appreciate it.

Oh yeah, big shame.

Let me help; I just happen to have a picture of the cat shoe.

I'm sorry Rune, I couldn't resist.
