Creation Stargate Convention Vancouver - 27.04.-29.04.2012

[picardythirds]

Now i really think that you will just have an alphabet party. Start in row A and work you way down the line. Its a little like a pub crawl. You meet all the ones in each row then make your way to the next and the next etc. etc. Of course there is no alchohol so it will have to be water/soft drink.

What a fantastic idea! we can have stashes of different snacks in each row (chocolate, chips/crisps, cookies, etc)

Thanks guys! I have an alternate location planned for the meetup if Red Robin can't accommodate us.

Excellent.

Well I'm right in front of you Snowflake, so since there's nobody on my row (D) do you mind if I party with you

For sure!! thinking maybe we should shun Kriz, as she seems to think I am old.....(don't worry Kris, luv yu forever, and you know it )
but hey, at least you can turn around and make faces at me all night, and if your lucky, i might have treats under my seat

[AnnieS]

I will have some snacks in my bag for sure.

did someone say chocolate?!!

I was thinking the EXACT same thing!!!

[Dr. Carson Beckett]

The fun starts THREE WEEKS from today! I'm still a little bummed that this is the last con for Vancouver, though I'm being cautiously optimistic that it will not be the last Creation con with Stargate (or even Star Trek, as there are no Star Trek cons currently scheduled for Vancouver) content for Vancouver, as I've only been able to afford these cons because they've been local.

I've just gotta remember to print out my tickets.

[ScifigirlSG]

It will depend on MGM giving Creation the right to use Stargate since MGM holds the rights to all things Stargate.

iheartcam, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Gateworld, because I've heard that here are many visitors of the Vancouver Con.
I'll visit the convention as well. I've been to many conventions already (in Europe), but it is my first convention in (and my first visit to) Canada. I'm very excited about that.
It seems that I have to read here a lot now.

Welcome Nirrti! It's good to have you here and I hope you will have a good time with us here at gateworld and at the con!
I am also pretty new here and I gotta tell you I was delighted about the open arms with I was welcomed here. But you've got a big advantage -- you've been already to some other conventions and know more or less how the system works. But it's great to get to know new people from all over the world and this is definitely a good way to do it.
Everybody is already pretty hyped up about the start of the con and we all count the weeks, days, hours until it beginns. Yeaaahhh! Join us in our dreadful waiting and maybe we can speed time up and the passing of time will get easier with some friends around.

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!

did someone say chocolate?!!

Ooooh, chocolate!! What can I do for those coming from the UK and can bring me a nice big bar of Bournville chocolate?!!! Oh how I miss that, along with Battenberg and Fox's glacier mints. You can buy them here in specialist British shops, but it costs too much and depends on availability too. For the equivalent cost of a 400g bar of Bournville in the UK I can only get a 100g bar!

Welcome to GW and the thread. What is your seat number? I can add you to the seating chart and you can see where in relation to all of us you are sitting.

You will love Vancouver and the welcome, and wanting to come back after you leave! It’s some kind of undefined effect Vancouver has! Of course it being the land of Stargate itself adds that extra fun to the whole con experience!

Welcome Nirrti! It's good to have you here and I hope you will have a good time with us here at gateworld and at the con!
I am also pretty new here and I gotta tell you I was delighted about the open arms with I was welcomed here.

The waiting is definitely easier when you've got others to look forward to the con with I agree!

I too will never forget how welcoming and helpful people were on the con thread that first time I went to this con in 2007. I'd never been to any con before and I was going on my own as well. It really made the difference.

[ScifigirlSG]

We have a lot of newbies...welcome! I would like to give a heads up....there are about 5 more people that will added to the convention list after Easter. This will be a very busy convention...

Welcome all! I know you're going to have a fantastic time!

You mean the guest list on the Creation site isn't final?
