GABIT attendees thread

[antoa]

I miss all you guys!

Got home yesterday afternoon (though my body was thinking it was midnight). Was wide awake at 2am, but managed to get back to sleep again. I don't think I've slept that much in quite a long time.

There are just no words. This past week was so amazing and I am not wanting to go back to reality quite yet because that means some scary stuff for me right now. I am more determined than ever to make a change, but I am still apprehensive about it all. I just have to keep reminding myself that it is about the little changes and not to expect anything big right away.

*huge hugs all around* I can't wait until SE!

I have uploaded my pictures from the Q&A sessions, auction and closing ceremony.

Clicky here for pictures

As usual, please do not use the pictures for icons, banners, etc, or upload them anywhere without my permission. Thanks!

Quick question: what was the dessert at the cocktail party called?

Please don't say "dessert". ;-)

I am talking about the "sherry....whatever" that was in the bowls? Anyone remember or does someone - by any chance - have the recipe?
I'd be most grateful!

I wasn't at the party, but are you talking about sherry trifle?? Like sponge covered in sherry, jelly, and custard??

Yes! That's it! Thank you! Found like 300 recipes already.

[Kathryn]

Yes! That's it! Thank you! Found like 300 recipes already.

You're welcome! My Mum makes it every Christmas - everyone loves it, I can't stand it

[NZNeep]

Wait, do some parts of foreign not have trifle? Wow.

[Shirt'n'Tie]

Hi all

EH-T : very sorry to hear about the break-in. Sign of the times. I admire your spirit. Go you!

To the rest of the gang....Thanks again Peeps for a wonderful weekend. And remember it'll happen all over again at AT5.

Hats off (hard hats even!) to GABIT.

I'm thinking of starting to say "GABIT-astic" as new word for fantastic!! What think you all?

Best to all here

S'n'T

[Strix varia]

LOL! That's awesome, Neeps!

It was the slowest elevator ride ever.

[EH-T]

First off: I'm so sorry to hear about the break in.
Second of all: You're assessment of the whole thing actually had me LMAO, it's priceless! Not only did they take the only DVD of value they actually upped the sales with one or two, or maybe even three copies. lol! I really admire your way of always thinking positive. Even in a situation like this.
And adding Tittamiire's and Neep's burglar stories makes me believe it's just not possible to efficiently steal anything from us.

Oh, and apparently Space channel is having a Sanctuary special tonight with Amanda and she's going to answer one of my questions. I guess that's what you get for being to much of a chicken to actually ask her yourself at the Q&A's *facepalm*

I just about fell over when I saw the question from you! Good one. Even AT said it was a good question. Some fans have posted the show on You Tube. If you haven't seen it yet, I'll find the link.

Hey guys

My con report is still pending. I'm so sorry for the delay but I've barely had a minute to myself this past week. I did, however, manage to catalogue almost all of my photos. So... the entire album is here but I've linked them individually too.

Told AT's joke at a partners' meeting the day I got back. Only got one laugh. No sense of humour these people, I thought it was hilarious.

What's the joke?

[EH-T]

What's the joke?

Well, AT tells it much better than I can type it but here's the gist.

A lawyer meets St. Peter at the pearly gates and tells St. Peter it can't be his time yet. St. Peter checks his list and confirms it's the lawyer's time. The lawyer says "But I'm only 55". St. Peter says "We have you down as 82". The lawyer asks how can that be and St. Peter says "we added up your billable hours".

You're right, they obviously have no sense of humour
