Squeeeeeeeee! Yep, my fangirl squee is in working order. Give me some pointers on how this works; I'm a little nervous. See you in Minneapolis!

Congratulations! I'm only a little envious ;-)

Well first off you're going to have an awesome time - and yes, there won't be much sleep to be had (at least I never manage to have any). The guests are lovely - Joe and David are such fun. Generally you get a schedule on arrival that tells you where to be at what time, but don't worry too much; there will be lots of people to help you out (some of them may be wearing Gateworld badges too). Just remember to go with the flow, smile, make lots of friends, and be nice to the staff and volunteers...and don't drool on Joe - we need him in good condition for LA

Edit: And make sure you report back here with stories and photos too - we like to live vicariously!

Yep, squee-ing here. I'm a total newbie when it comes to cons, too, so it'll be great fun to see what goes on. I'm already planning on very little sleep. I'm bringing Visine for my eyes 'cause I'm sure I'll be staring at the stars.

Going back to work on Monday will be tough.

That's awesome! Have a wonderful time, write things down as you won't remember lots of what was said and done.

Go easy on Flanigan please , I need him in good condition for Chicago.

Tried to get there for Sunday, but no such luck. Frequent flier miles would have gotten me there free, just couldn't get an arrival time so I wouldn't miss most of the Con activities.

Have a great time everyone!!!!!!! SQUEE!

Wow, how'd I miss this yesterday!

Congradualtions!

This con is going to be a bit different then Creations typical conventions because it's smaller, only two days and has less guests!
Fans are pretty friendly, especially those here from GW, so don't be afraid to come up and talk with anyone. I'm coming alone so I'll be looking for some buddies to hang out with, eat dinner with etc.

Autographs are done row by row. Back stage passes are first, then the Gold ticket holders, then preferred, then general public. Photo's are on a first come first get basis. Creation is pretty good about having people there to help guide and answer questions, otherwise fans will too.

Creation has the schedule posted on the website so you can see timing for everything.

Hopefully people will get together for dinner on Saturday after autographs and before the Dessert party!

If you have any questions just ask. I'll be on line off and on tonight!

Just to get you all excited. Alaina tweeted this morning that she was just boarding her flight to get to the con!

And that was at about 9am my time. Which is probably about 6-7am her time. (I'm bad with time zone stuff - me being Eastern TZ)

We made it to Target today! Whoop!
I got two Hewlett autographs and 1 Hewlett photo op. Bet you can't guess why I'm here.
I hope to see you all this weekend.
