Creation Stargate Convention Vancouver - 27.04.-29.04.2012

[Geoi McKay]

As I recall I think you can get wi-fi reception in the lobby.

Perfik!

i am going to this con to see all my friends, minus the gorgeous Deeds (I will be in Van on thursday if you are still around or you can make a trip over here??). The guests and the con are just an added bonus. My favorite thing is that I can go off on a tangent about any sci-fi show and EVERYONE gets it!! There are no "that chick is crazy"

I've wanted that so badly all of my life! Just to be around other people who will catch the references without me needing to explain them! Sounds like a dream. I'm really looking forward to meeting you guys!

[Dr. Carson Beckett]

Well, I might need some explanations with references as everything tends to blur together with how much sci-fi I've digested. Last year, before Chris Judge had to pull out, I wanted to ask him about his thoughts on who would win the Stanley Cup.

Official Final GateWorld Dinner Sign-Up
Sunday, April 29, 2012 at 8pm
Earl's -- 4361 Kingsway (just around the block from the hotel)

It's officially time to start planning for what will (sadly) be the final official GateWorld dinner in Vancouver. Our home for the past several years (Sammy J Peppers) closed their doors, so I was tasked with finding a new and last home for us that was nearby and could accomodate all of us. It wasn't an easy job.

Prices for menu items are mostly comparable to previous years. Attending the dinner does not mean you HAVE to eat. The potential size of this year's group -- between forum members, special guests (some are con guests, some are NOT), and Stargate crew -- means that eating may need to be staggered no matter how we do it. Rest assured though, between the spacious lounge area we'll have, the cast and crew drop-ins I'm setting up, potential prize giveaways and the later closing time (11pm)...we're all going to make this final dinner one not to forget.

To sign up, simply reply to this post, add your forum name in the appropriate area, and remove the quote tags. It's as simple as that. Please also indicate if you plan on bringing guests (+1, +2, etc.). Extra guests are fine, but only forum members can win any potential prizes we giveaway.

Finally, Earl's has stated that giving them a menu list of our choices is unnecessary. However, as an aid to both them and us, we're doing it anyway. After reviewing the menu off their site, please PM mamasue9 with your items. She'll be keeping tabs over the next 10 weeks.

Can't wait to see all of you in Stargate's hometown one final time!

Hi everyone,

Another newbie here. I've never been to a convention before, so the information in this thread has been invaluable. Thanks!

Cheers,
Helen

Hi Helen!

Welcome to the thread and GW!

I expect Vancouver will be a bit warmer in April than Winterpeg!

This thread is an awesome place for info, it saved me at my first con a bunch of years ago. I hope you have a great first adventure...

[ScifigirlSG]

Welcome all newbies and con virgins...

Hi Helen and welcome to the thread. We've all been where you are with going to your first convention, and I for one would never have gone to my first convention back in 2007 if it wasn't for getting to know folks on the Gateworld con thread. They made me feel so welcome and helped me make up my mind to take the plunge and go all by myself too!

So, no question is silly and we are all friends already when we meet in April!!

Updated seating chart, I've put you on it.

[helen450]

Thanks, thanks, and thanks!

Weather update for Vancouver. We have VERY VERY THICK FOG on Burrard Inlet. Couldn't see either side when crossing on Lion's Gate Bridge this afternoon. Or coming back on the Seabus tonight. Been like that for a few days.

awww thats too bad. I live in Richmond by the airport and its been beautiful for the last couple days. I guess it really just depends what part of the lower mainland your in. The weather varies A LOT along the south coast.

Welcome to all new people!!!!

[discodiva]

We've had our yearly snow dump....about 7 inches fell overnight......and before any "experienced-with-snow Canadians" jump down my throat, we're not grousing, have already cleared and salted the paths and will be perfectly happy when it goes away, which it will very quickly...
