2008 Vancouver Con (Creation)!!!

[OregonJen]

Oi! You guys are soooo demanding! No problem, guys. Below is the even more newly updated list. And no, Jen, we haven't discussed where or when we're meeting yet. JJ hasn't been online at all lately and I'd like to work out details like that with her... maybe the other drivers, too. We'll take care of it though. Don't worry.

Thanks, Neelan! And no worries here, just curious. I know it's gonna be great fun.

Hi ALL

Wow! You guys are super organised!! Rachel (veryangrystargatefan) can I hitch a ride with you??

*grovels and bows* I'll be at the JM/MG dinner in Fuel!!

Have nailed O Canada! in English and French by the way, so bring ear plugs!!

Talk soon

There's room left for 2 more in the car folks!

Could I tentatively ask you to reserve spots for thePhoenix77 and myself ? (I don't think she's made any arrangements yet, but I need to check with her.)

Oops -see NL seems to already be taking care of organizing the drivers.

[starwanderer]

I can also locate Daniel and Sam's houses if anyone is interested in those. Would also be willing to add to the vehicle count.

I would love to see Sam's place! I was just watching the episode with Sam and Orlin and thinking how cool it would be to see her place. And what hussie wouldn't want to see daniel's ?

The one other place I was wondering about... does anyone know where Revisions was filmed? It looks like it's a row of shops/cafes that might be neat to check out.

Well this week I would have to agree. It was -7 yesterday with a wind chill of -25. Almost warm enough for the swim suit and sun bathing!

Seriously the snow is more of a problem this year than the cold. Mother Nature decided to drop over 90" so far this season on our little town. Spring will be VERY messy.

Thanks for the tips. I was there in '06 and it was fairly warm but I see there was snow last year in all the pictures. Just want to be prepared.

Wow I thought it was cold in Green Bay when we did the Packer/Giants game last month!!! I'm orginally from Kaukauna

We almost drowned last year in Van with the initial rain. We bring a little of everything in layers to be prepared. We survived the rain and actually were toasty on our trip up to Gross Mountain. They had a BUNCH of snow up there.

Been watching the Van temp and it's running a high in the mid-40's. By the time we get there it should be shorts weather - probably just over 50.

Looking forward to meeting a fellow "cheese-rancher" in Van.

Shirt 'N Tie, you are more than welcome to ride with us on the tour and to the Fuel dinner. JannaGalaxy and I would love to have ya! The more Stargate freaks we can be around the merrier! We were talking about this today and we still have room in the rental car for 1 more person so if anyone else needing a ride is interested, let me know!

So do you go to the Chicago Con? I have been there the last 3 years - maybe we already met.......I am kind of a wall flower at these things mostly because I am in awe of everything and everyone. We (my mom and I) are going again this year and have room in the car.....

That Packer game was brutal cold - so I heard. Too bad they lost too.

I would love to see Sam's place! I was just watching the episode with Sam and Orlin and thinking how cool it would be to see her place. And what hussie wouldn't want to see daniel's ?

The one other place I was wondering about... does anyone know where Revisions was filmed? It looks like it's a row of shops/cafes that might be neat to check out.

Sam's place and the park she walked in with Orlin is not too far from Jack's cabin, so we can do those as both locations are in North Vancouver. 'Revisions' was filmed in Fantasy Garden World, a sort of 'Disney' style theme park. Unfortunately the place closed down and went up for sale last year, it was allowed to fall into disrepair over the years by the last owners. So I guess we'll never get to see it unless someone decides to buy it and keep it as a theme park and restore it to it's former glory. Given the way the building boom is going in Vancouver it's more likely to be sold and demolished to make way for more housing developments if it hasn't already.

I've updated the list with the current situation as to my car. I've got two already Starwanderer but I could take you and thePhoenix77 if you don't mind that it may be a bit squished in the back with 3 people. Let me know if this is OK and the places are yours!

Updated Jack's house and NID HQ with our numbers. Really want to see Jack's house!! O'Malley's is a really yummy place for lunch.

Hi All,

Rachel (veryangrystargatefan), thank you most sincerely for your transportation!! *bows deeply in a Teal'c jaffa type way*

Desperately trying to start the "shore-up" of work on this end here in Ireland. Because of St Patrick's Day and Easter Holidays, it means that I have but 15 working days to departure for Vancouver!!! It kinda snuck up on me a bit!!! YIKES! Any-hoo, am really looking forward to seeing you all at Vancouver!!

Thanks again Rachel and Jannagalaxy!!!

By the way...

Hiya guys, how's it going?
Not been able to post for a while, been pretty busy but have been popping in every so often for a gander...
Good news that Rainbow's going to be there...always thought it was a shame he left the show. He always seemed so jazzed to be on it in interviews etc.. Will be good to meet him.
I notice that since the addition of Rainbow and the Shanks/Doig lunch update, the Creation website shows it was updated today as well...any idea what's actually been changed? Can't seem to find anything different..
Does anyone think there'll be any other guests added to the lineup? It's already pretty packed so far...just curious!
I mentioned to my brother about the location tours you guys have planned...he's not got back to me so don't want to put our names forward, just in case...(if I do, looks like we may be walking it anyway!! hehe)
Not long to go now......
Stewart
