GABIT attendees thread

[Mousie]

Ahh I'm good with it...really! Your only three seats to my left too which makes for some awesome chatting. I'm excited just to be in the same room with Amanda and finally putting faces to all these wacky Gabiteers here.

I do wonder who's in seats N-6 and 7 though....hehe.

And ooh Flow is really close to the stage too! Lucky girl. Maybe I can snag a close-up pic or two of AT from her out of the tons I know she'll be taking...lol.

Don't worry, from experience, Amanda will be running around the room a lot especially at the Auction.

yes, she professionally 'works the aisle' during the auction

Seat J-13 checking in before subbing the small kids of Texas. *grumbles* Um... I know 2 friends are sitting Row C (no seat number given to me ;( ) and Row M-15. *nod nod*

Yeah 14 days until I grab a plane and cross the pond!! WEEE! And my camera should arrive today!!

*grabs lunch and leaves*

N-8 checking in. I was hoping for a bit closer, but I guess that's what I get for spur of the moment ticket buying. I feel like I'm in the nosebleed section being so far out from the stage.

Now my only concern is people not so vertically challenged. Being on the short side, I always seem to have tall people sitting smack dab in front of me wherever I go.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. The room is really quite small. I tend to have an issue with enclosed spaces, so I get up quite regularly during the weekend and stand in the back of the room just until the anxiety passes and I've never had an issue seeing everything that was going on quite well. I've even gotten some really nice photos from the back of the room.

[EH-T]

i have a 6 inch one that i've taken in my carry on, they had to look at it to see what it was, but there was no issue.

LOL. I was catching up on the thread by reading the posts backwards so I hadn't seen the post just before this and I was wondering just what you were talking about!

[antoa]

I'm C4! so hello to Antoa, I'll be your seat mate for the duration of the weekend!

I've just got to remember to call the hotel in the next few days and confirm that they still have my room reservation, seeing as it was all booked so long ago, I thought it would be best to double check it hasn't been lost in the system.

Hooray! I've found one seat mate I apologize in advance for my huge honkin camera. It does get pretty pics though

Welcome to the gutter!

[Strix varia]

.....and I01 or I11 or I20 does look kinda strange come to mention it......

I can't be there in person, so I'll just be there in spirit. Can I claim seat I01, then? Just imagine the hint of much laughter (and a few snarky comments, no doubt) that would have been...

[rderoch]

You *were* all on the same table. It was "Singularity".

Julia
G4

Thanks Julia!

I'll have to look at my group photo when I get home so I can match the screen name to the face.

[rderoch]

*grins* Without digging into my old con stuff, I can't remember either. But I'm pretty certain now that we were at the same table since I was at the 2nd to last table too.

Your sister and mother sat to your right and a lovely couple from the UK sat to your left. I would've been nearly directly across from you in the gold-ish top, sitting to the left (from your POV) of the empty seat they'd left for Amanda...


((((rderoch))))

((((ShimmeringStar))))

Great memory!
