77 days???
*happy dance*
Guys, re the badges. I'll wait a bit to see if more people want one, now there's only a few and of that few Cel makes her own, EH-T doesn't mind using her old badge. So it seems silly to make one just for 2 or 3 persons. If you're on Sam_Daily you can request a badge here.sigpic

And Rocky ... I think it's a bit silly to ask in a gabit thread who wouldn't mind if AT4 was postponed. Because for probably a lot of people that would mean they would miss out, because they have made specific plans and costs for this date. Like Meg sais: airfares are usually nonrefundable and often non-changeable (I know mine is anyway). Also, I think saying things like: real fans wouldn't mind is just .. not sure how to say it ... mean I guess.sigpic

No one would want to keep Amanda from the Gemini's, but no one would choose to lose an international airfare either.

And SJ, I didn't mean anything mean or nasty about it, just that I remember reading a few posts the last time Amanda had to miss a con appearance, and trust me, those posts weren't too nice. I know you ALL our true/real fans of Amanda, and you all love and respect her. So yeah, no meanness intended.Last edited by Rocky89; 28 August 2009, 07:08 AM.

Well said, though, nowadays, its failry easy to change the date of an airline ticket. Depending on the airline, its even relatively inexpensive. Even better if you bought insurance when you bought the ticket - which I do now on any international travel tickets.
Hopefully, whatever choice Amanda makes regarding the Con and the awards show, it will be respected. I read somewhere that the last time she canceled or postponed a Con people got furious. Which is just ridiculous.sigpicThanks to Oma-1 for the beautiful banner!

So like everyone else has stated here, I'd love to see Amanda receive her first Gemini, but I'd hope she'd not have to post-pone AT4 in any capacity to do so.

*popping in to wave hello*
Trying to catch up with everything that got away during Chicago... photo editing and such...
Just had to share this... finally got to meet Amanda this past weekend in Chicago, and afterwards talked to a friend. They asked: "Are you still excited to meet her in London?" To which I answered, "even more so now".
I knew from listening to stories that you've all told about meeting her what a doll she was, however, actually meeting her, she was that and even more...
*back to catching up*
Can't wait to meet her again, as well as the friends that were made in Chicago who are also going to this, and all of the people that haven't been met yetsigpicawesome siggie courtesy of jasminaGo
