GABIT attendees thread

[dipsofjazz]

It's a pleasure to help you CG !
Ok.This calls for a suitable reply ....*Thinks*

From the UK to the US and every nation,
Gabit sent forth an invitation.
Four hundred plus fans to see Amanda Tapping,
Come hear her speak..don't stint the clapping !

The "Squeeees" were heard throughout each land,
"Let's salute Amanda,with our Happy Band ".
With help and input from each of us.
We're gathering at the Hotel Renaissance.

From Friday October 28,
We're going there to make a date.
To heck with RL,we just can't wait.
Come meet the leading Lady of StarGate !

*Reads poem...*
Ok ..it's rotten cabbages and the stocks for me.
My scanning sucks ,says FHB !!!

*Hides *

Is it October Twenty Eight?
I cannot stand this big long wait
For this is such a special date
As I'll meet more fans of Stargate!

Then on October Twenty Nine
The Gateworlders meet to drink and dine
Before that we will hear and see
Our special guest - yes, it's AT!

October Thirty I'll get a kick
Watching Amanda sign my pic
So, more excited I will get
Is it October Twenty Eight YET????

[Bagpuss]

I salute dipsofjazz's perfect rhyme,
To zat her smily would be a crime.
The venue's booked,her blood is pumping,
That infernal icon is STILL jumping !

As for me,I'll sit right here,and think,
Of Agent Dark,The Dancer and Bink.
ShimmeringStar and Seshat,and smile.
They'll get "reports" back in a while.

Howzat Bev ? Any better ?
Or should I keep on-topic to the letter ?
I'm out of verse ,it's such a shame.
If we get rubbished,I'll take the blame !

[dipsofjazz]

Oh, FHB I'll take the bait
For I think that your rhyme is great
I hope I don't sound like a bore
If I request you write some more.

My smiley, surely you wouldn't zat?
For you have already done that!
Two zats he dies, and three he's gone
Then I'd be sad and so forlorn.

He shows how happy I am feeling
I'm bouncing off the walls and ceiling
I'm going nuts - well, just a bit
I can't wait to go to Gabit!

Some friends we leave behind, it's sad
But I don't want them to feel bad
For we'll post lots and let them know
If we hear spoilers 'bout the show!

Amanda's pics we'll show them too
Somewhere online for them to view
So, to the gang, please never fear
For it'll be just like you're here!

*Head/desk* You win.Kinda. Kliggs liked my efforts...

The poetry muse has deserted me.
Back to prose for FHB.
Keep your smily,and have some fun.

That little interlude of poetry and on-topic mayhem was fun !
Long may Mr Hyper-Smiley Guy bounce .

My boa's organised by the way..oh I'm going to look so orangey in the wig,boa and glow-things.Such chic.Such....idiocy .

Coming up to midnight according to my watch.That means only 3 days and 14 hours to go till registration..
ETA : out by a minute.Piffle !

[the dancer of spaz]

Spaz (somehow that sounds so rude), awwww you came back.

I DID come back! And don't worry about calling me "spaz." A lot of people are worried that it sounds rude, but it's my name, so go ahead and wear it out.

And I've been assured that bribes are unnecessary for the juicy tidbits, and that had BETTER be true! Because you will have one excitable spaz on your collective six, if it's not!

I really did; Bev's efforts are so amateurish. You should tutor her.

I don't recallpromising reports without a bribe. Is that Baggie speaking for me again.

[Kliggins]

Couldn't give that hyper guy a break for one post, could you?

[the dancer of spaz]

That spaz-dancing smiley makes me dizzy.

[Kliggins]

That spaz-dancing smiley makes me dizzy.

Is he related to you?

LOL ! Me tutor the tutor ? No way ..I want to live !

Not guilty ! Bribes and tribute of the edible variety have most effect on my sensibilities anyway.

Couldn't give that hyper guy a break for one post, could you?

Did you really expect her to ?

Come Friday we'll be bopping away ourselves..or in my case limping !

Repost:
From the Renaissance Hotel Events section staff member I spoke to :

No specific dress code for any diners at the Bistro.Males don't need ties,and females don't need to worry about too much formality.Smart jeans are fine.

The Menu : The cost of all dishes depends on whether the foods we choose are from the Buffet or A la Carte Menus,but there will be clear prices on the menus at table.

Baggie translation : We won't be turning up looking like something the cat dragged in anyway,so dress how you prefer.Definition of smart or casual is up to you all.

I stated in an earlier post that the table bill will be paid by Hubby as the "Host"...then we can work out what each of us has to repay him after we've eaten.

From Saturday last on .Anyone from GW who is attending the Convention can only be added to the after dinner drinkies and chat list.Sorry,but that's the best I can offer,at this late stage.
Drinks/chat from 8.00 approx onwards.Meet up in Foyer area .Disco overlap ,but that can't be helped !

If anyone needs to swap cell/mobile numbers,arrange moving buddies,or whatever,then do it asap.Only a few days to go !

*apologies to sg1portal..we thought you were a Con-Goer-not the DJ.Sorry Sir ! Just as well I got you a little pressie last week as a thank-you for Gabit.Feel free to chuck it at us !
