Yeah, having enough money seems to always be an issue, but it's possible to get some real steals in the auctions. Especially if Richard Arnold is conducting them as the minimum he sets is a mere five dollars. At the Star Trek convention, I won a pack of Stargate autographed photos (which would retail about $350 or so) for $40.

@Snowflake - Actually, it was, "Wink at the person behind the counter". If you want to kiss them, that's your business. But you might also want to prepare to run, just in case they are not as understanding as the rest of us.
@Krisz - Good ones? Whatever do you mean? I tell the absolute truth about Canadian culture and traditions. Why wouldn't people believe me?
You non-Canadians do know about using the words, 'please', 'thank you', 'sorry' and 'eh', right? It's important in Canada to be polite. I'll give you an example below:
O'Neill: Please, I’ve got a better idea. Instead of helping you, why don’t we sit back and watch you get your ass kicked, eh? That way, sorry, but, you’ll be dead, and we’ll be glad, eh. Thank you.
Baal: You cannot be serious.
O'Neill: Please, yes I can, eh. I just choose not to. Some of the time, eh.
Baal: With your insolence, you are dooming not just your world, but all of humanity.
O'Neill: I think big, eh.
So, now you've got it, eh?

I have questions.
Is it best to buy tickets for photo ops now or should I wait until I get there? I don't want to miss out.
Also, is anyone going on the Monday location tour they are offering?
Finally (for now), my friend and I arrive in Vancouver on Wednesday afternoon. We're coming from DC so I'm sure we'll be exhausted and not up for much that evening, but we will have all day Thursday free. Any suggestions?sigpic

I'll be coming in on Wednesday afternoon/evening too. I'll be doing it up on the night, then site-seeing Thursday, then off to the Meet-up at Red Robbin's just round the corner from the Hilton Metrotown. You'll both probably be so amped to be in Van, you'll wanna go out a bit on Weds... At least, I know I will. If you get there and wanna hook up, I'll have my tablet with me. Just pm me.sigpic"It's all in the Algorithm." -Rodney McKay

I do find it a bit silly though as they only send everything by email anyway (I think they used to call it "Shipping and handling fee"). Moneygrabbers, but anyway.
I think I'll only buy a ticket for the breakfast in advance and everything else I want I will buy there.
Edit: so I thought I would check and you're right it doesn't say when you put in your cc details that there is the extra charge. Mean!
I'm almost sure though that it would show up after you press "continue to order summary and checkout" *not so sure about my original post anymore*Last edited by Hoschi; 15 February 2012, 02:17 PM.
