Hi all! So in regards to the GW dinner, I'm still waiting to hear back from the restaraunt...but I wanted to let you know I received this message in my personal email yesterday in regards to it...
"Hey Chad, Merry Christmas!
My name is ********** and I am among twenty-or-so crewmembers that have worked on Stargate from SG-1's pilot episode until the very last day of SGU.
As I'm sure you know, for every screen credit position on any show there are a dozens that remain somewhat invisible to the public, I was one of those.
I was the series' de-facto graphic designer responsible for items like signage, military insignia, tattoos, alien text (including Ancient),weapons control systems etc.
I later moved more towards fabrication and had virtually every piece used in the construction of SGU's Destiny pass through the hands of either me or my assistant.
While our stories may not be as wild and woolly as some of the on-set crew, there are quite a few tales to be told of hidden messages snuck into Ancient text, specific design elements of some military insignia and more.
My family and I are currently vacationing and will be back in Vancouver in January where I will resume work on Falling Skies. I won't know what my schedule will look like until I get back but would certainly be interested in attending, and please know there are dozens behind the scenes types like me that would likely feel the same way.
Have a wonderful Christmas, look forward to hearing from you again."
So, my question is...would those already planning to attend enjoy the presence and the ability to pick the brains of many of the behind the scenes crew that have remained unsung for the most part? Could be another fun way to celebrate this final con, and these guests would be in addition to special guest cast members. Sound off!

Totally kidding! I've got my own stuff to do on Thursday.
