Creation Vancouver Con 2009

[Suebsg9]

It was an amazing game. My first live shootout and my seats are behind the goal we shoot at twice. - upper level.

My niece who plays hockey here in Michigan loves to watch the shootouts when they go to games or even watching them on tv. How was it watching from behind the goal??? Get pics???

I spoke to my ticket rep, about our Vancouver game & if she had any contacts & about group rates. She's going to look into it & get back to me. I need to know how many people we really have & are truely committed. ~ of course if we find out that there is something that Creation is doing that we can't miss we'll deal with that. I think I'll send an e-mail to Gary & find out what the tenative plans are.

In the meantime, if you want to go to the game add your name to the list:

So... I got home safe from my graveyard shift and my 9 hour class right after... All for the Shep!! I got a look at my next paycheck, and it looks AWSOME!! Hopefully, things will work out with this job long enough to make my goals for the con... It's layoff season, and I am technically a seasonal worker that my manger plans to turn into permanent... I asked him because my hiring group would be on the first list to get laid off, and he did say he was not considering me personally at the moment... then he told me to go back to work and stop asking... Me working graveyard is my attempt to get cross trained as much as possible.... Hopefully, they will look at the fact that I have gotten train in three other departments, not including my own... One co-worker says that my willingness to do that will indeed go far, because if they need someone for those departments, they won't need to bring in someone specialized in that or hire someone just for that position... Saves them money, they said... Hopefully, all will work out... Ooo, that's me being optimistic... That's a new one!

That's the way-chin up! Just remember how many of us are looking forward to meeting you? I'm the same, I have to 'gee myself up' a bit at the moment. I'm confined to bed right now and due in hospital on the 17th of this month. The way I look at it is that the Convention is my reward to myself for getting through all of this? I have my music, my Stargate, all my friends on Gateworld and a good attitude. That will see me right, even if I do have to bring a walking stick. Apparently, the mayor of Vancouver is disabled, so it's very 'user friendly' for we 'nobbled ones' *grin* And hey, my long sleeved Stargate Tee just came from Creation this morning. I can be recognised!!! (hats are coming along well, too ) Time in bed = more time to knit!!!

Oh man, your hockey game idea sounds awesome (hockey nut over here as well...). Don't know if I can afford an NHL game though.

I agree with AG!

Hope everything will work out OK.

The former mayor of Vancouver is a quadriplegic. Very inspiring guy.

I booked my flight yesterday - it seems I'm actually going to visit Vancouver.

My niece who plays hockey here in Michigan loves to watch the shootouts when they go to games or even watching them on tv. How was it watching from behind the goal??? Get pics???

I didn't bring my camera But I did get great pics from the Vancouver game including score board shoots. I wished it stayed at 6-3. We can still use that one anyway

As far as watching the shoot out, everyone was standing up so I had to wait for the lower bowl to re-act to know that we scored. I did see all of Conklin's saves.

As for the Ducks game, I haven't heard any news yet.

Question ~

Has anyone ever rented a car one-way from the US to Canada? Suebsg9 & I are flying into Seattle on Saturday and we're going to sightsee before going to Vancouver early to Stargate-see . My return flight is out of Vancouver. I just realized I may need to get separate rentals or I may need to drive back to Seattle and fly out of there .

Being confined to bed must be really hard *huge hugs* Hope the hospital visit goes alright The convention is my reward too To distract myself from the fact that it will be my 10 year anniversary of ickyness in Feb/March Yay for convention!!

I'll have my walking stick, so if you do have to bring one as well then you and i can have imaginary fire fights across the convention rooms

I haven't done it cross border but have rented from one location and dropped off at another, sometimes in the same city, sometimes in different cities. My experience is that sometimes they charge you an extra fee and sometimes not. For example, if someone did what you are doing in reverse then you are doing them a favour by driving the car back to the original location and there is no extra charge. I would call around to various rental agencies to check on whether then need a car returned to Vancouver and, if not, what their policy is regarding one-way rental.
