Originally posted by meredithchandler73 View PostI am a fairly new fan - started watching Stargate in August 2006. I got hooked very quickly and watched every single episode to get caught up. I've only been to a few conventions and it's been years since the last one. (Back when I was still watching ST:TNG.) I had lamented elsewhere in the forum about how sad I was that I could never get to a convention because I'm so much more fanatical now than I ever was about TNG!!!
ANYWAY, it seemed that conventions were always going to be at bad times for me (I work a lot of weekends), but I might actually be able to get to this one!!! I'm kinda freaking out about it!!!
I've got to double-check and triple-check that I won't have to work then, but if I'm free, I should probably start planning the trip and buying my ticket! OH MY GOD!!! I've never met any other Stargate fans from the online community. (I only know one couple that watches Stargate, but they aren't online at all and don't go to conventions.)
I'm am SOOOO excited! WOOHOO!!!!!
EDITED TO ADD:
Sadness. I almost never have to work weekends in August BUT I HAVE TO WORK THE WEEKEND OF THE CONVENTION!!! I'm seriously considering whether my boss would think I was totally nuts to take that weekend off... No, it just won't work. I need massive amounts of chocolate to lift me out of this despair.
It's been ages since I've been to a convention and I've never gone to a Stargate con. I've also never attended an entire weekend con or gone out of town for one. I'm sure there are posts about con etiquette and helpful tips for con newbies on the forum somewhere. Must look for those.
AND I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING PEOPLE FROM THIS FORUM!!! YAY!!! I realize now why I've been so upset that I haven't been to a con for the shows I love now (like Stargate and Farscape). The few times I had attended Star Trek cons, I went alone and I didn't meet people or make friends. I wasn't online the way I am now and I didn't think of my fandom as being part of a larger picture (which seems crazy considering the Trek fandom). It's just that my love of Trek was very much a personal thing. In any case, my love of Stargate is personal, but it's also a shared love that I very much enjoy. I feel like I'm part of a Stargate community. As I mentioned in my first post - I only know one couple that watches Stargate. They love the show, too, but not to the point of ever attending conventions. I'm so excited to meet more fans of the show!!!
Gotta hit Orbitz!!!

I've been to a few local Star Trek cons, but it's been awhile and I have never been to a Stargate one. Since being on-line, I really want to go and meet fellow people on-line. Will have to see how things works out.sigpic

I went to the Vancouver con this year, it was the first con I'd ever attended. No one else I know likes Stargate either, so I was on my own. The only reason I finally dared to go is because of the lovely people I met on line here.
It appears that this attendance of Stargate cons may become more regular if I continue to dip into threads like this one. I WANT TO GO TO THIS ONE TOO!
Sadly it cannot come to pass as the evil finance fiend is always there, looking disapprovingly at me and wagging its finger! I do like sharing everyones excitement and adventures and am with you in spirit

Hi everybody! *waves*
I emailed Adam at Creation about the possibility of getting David Hewlett to do a screening of his movie "A Dog's Breakfast" at the Chicago con, and he said he'd been in contact with David and his fiancée, (producer) Jane Loughman, but they haven't made any firm plans.
David showed the film in conjunction with last fall's Burbank Creation Stargate convention, and appeared at the convention (along with Jane, and his sister Kate) and it was a huge hit! I'd love to see it at Chicago, especially since Paul McGillion is going to be there as well.
Here's what everyone should do if you want to see this movie! Go to David's ADB site and REQUEST A SCREENING TO COINCIDE WITH THE STARGATE CHICAGO CON.
You'll have to put in your name, email address, and the city and zip - use Chicago and the zip of the con hotel (60018) and give Adam as a contact ([email protected]) ... be sure to mention that you are going to the Chicago Creation Stargate convention and you want to see the movie that weekend. Here's the link:
Request a Screening of ADB
Here's a preview of the movie if you haven't seen it yet - it stars David & Kate Hewlett, Paul McGillion, and Christopher Judge, and it's absolutely hilarious!
A Dog's Breakfast Trailer
Thanks!
