GABIT attendees thread

[ShimmeringStar]

Oh man, mini, you just said everything I wanted to say and did it so well. I'm going to wax lyrical about what a wonderful job the GABIT team did on their website when I get a moment. I so much enjoyed meeting so many warm, funny, fun-loving people (my husband says I have come home with a phony North American accent - bwaha! )

LOL! We did our best to change it! But I think we're all coming home with mouths full of Brit-isms, so it was an equal exchange! (((scarimor)))

Don't know exactly what the source of it is (GABIT or something else), but I've read she'll be doing 12 episodes.

I was at AT2 the whole weekend and don't remember any number being given. In fact all I recall was Amanda stressing the fact that she didn't know for sure at this point exactly how many eps or how much/what type of involvement her character would have in the Atlantis franchise next season.

I do remember her saying that - I'm pretty sure it was during the first Q&A on Saturday and whilst I can't remember how many she said she was doing I'm positive it was more than 10.

Funny how we remember things differently. I sat next to her at the cocktail party and no number was given. At all. As Sky said, she doesn't know at this point.

I believe the source for that is here

I respectfully point out that there's no true source in this post that you gave us a link to. "A friend" can be anybody. Word from Amanda is that she doesn't know. Plus remember... if they start filming as they normally would do in February, then nothing will be certain about story arcs until much closer to filming.

I just wanted to post a great big THANK YOU to the G4 for the best con I have ever been too. I was a con virgin but I ain't no more . I truly enjoyed myself (my credit card did too...it's a puddle of goo in me pocket right now) and it was such fun meeting most of the GWers who were able to attend.

It was a genuine pleasure to meet you too, AM. And as for that wee bitty melted (or is that toasted??!) credit card of yours.... since you were sitting right in front of me, I'll never forget your twitches of excitement as you whipped that card out and waved it in the air - or of that one moment that Amanda grabbed your card and hightailed it up the aisle, offering to auction off the card! ((((((((AM))))))))))

I would type more but I'm running out of minutes and I have no more change in me pocket. 10 pence a minute....highway robbery!

Though I hated so much the thought of the wonderful weekend being over, I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy to be back home with access to my desktop and lappie PC's... No more restricted access, being bumped out of sites, and no more feeding the evil moneyeating computer at the Ren's business office!!! (And I can right click and multiple window to my heart's content!!!! ) (Am I rubbing it in enough yet????!!! )

Yes, as others have already said, it's important that people don't take "rumors" as solid facts. Amanda truly did not say how many episodes she might be involved in. She made a point of saying she didn't know. And until we hear from her via Kamil (or the studio) one way or the other, I think it's safer not to begin a giant speculation mill.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW,
this event was really breath taking, Amanda is so beautiful in person, I hardly reconised her with long hair, she is such a wonderful person and she has a heart of gold. I was so nervous meeting her and I couldn't move a muscle when it was my turn to have my picture taken, she grabbed me and gave me a big hug and she was comforting me to carm me down, she's a miracle worker. She said I wow you could be my stand in? My mum went first, god knows what she said to her but when Amanda said that I was speechless, and she told me I was beautiful, well I was almost in tears, I didn't no what to say. I brought £32 worth of tea party tickets and when my number did'nt come up cry'd so much it hurt, but Early on I went to the loo, and just after I came out to wash my hands the door opened and there she was, she looked at me and said hi, I said hi back, god I was gob smacked, the loo's smell't really funny, and I just came out with it while washing my hands. It smell's funny in here dose'nt it and she said yer dose abit, then I realized what I said, god I'm so supid, what a dumb thing to say. I left the toilets as I didn't want to hang around and invade her privacy.
Carn't wait until AT-3.
