Creation Stargate Convention Vancouver - 27.04.-29.04.2012

[Atlantia]

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



Excellent.

Sound like a chocolate party should be organised. Anyone from Australia can bring the TIM TAMS!

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.

Belated welcome. I am not attending exept in spirit, so if wierd things happen it will just be me letting you all know that i am there.

Thank you for that, very helpful information.

I would love to join the dinners on Thursday and Sunday, is that possible? Especially the one on Thursday would be a good occasion to get to know many of you. But I'm not sure if I will manage to be there at 7 pm or maybe a little bit later. Maybe a stupid question, but how do I recognize you all?

How do you recognise them? Why, you just start singing the stargate song and see who joins in of course. (More memories of 2007) If you don't know the words, it is on YouTube.

Don't worry, you're well prepared. Snowflake and Arctic Goddess are probably the craziest people you can meet.

Right? Wrong?

Wrong! I recall someone shouting from the balcony at the hotel "I love you Michael" and when he looked up and replied she nearly fell over the rail.

I can't believe it has taken me this long to catch up! PHEW! BTW: Robin Dunne, Colin Ferguson and Teryl Rothery are coming to Perth!!!! YAY!!! I am having dinner with Robin Dunne. Wow!

:OMG:

We got two types of Tim Tams where I live. The normal ones and caramel. I can bring some if anyone's interested. I have seen the double chocolate Tim Tams in grocery stores in Calgary and I know there are also a few grocery stores in Vancouver that sell them *TimTam addict here*

@Atlantia: Whereabouts south of Perth do you live? I used to live in Perth for 3 years and kinda miss it...a little

[Starbird]

Wow! Ordered travel money today and picked up Chocolate from Cadbury Factory for the "girls" and some for row B.

Its getting closer.

I hope not...I don't want to be on youtube if its the one where someone video taped us singing at Red Robin without permission.

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!

[AnnieS]

London Drugs sells 4 kinds of Tim Tams. And I can get the orginal kind at our Wal*Mart.

[Arctic Goddess]

Personally, I could really use a fix of a good German wine.

I'm a chardonnay drinker, but quality Rhine wines are awesome...hint... hint.

[ScifigirlSG]

German wine is good and I'd like to try some real Kelownan wine......red....psst Snowflake

*I guess I'm supposed to be drinking red wine at my age to clear the arteries.*

my my, is that what passes as a hint in your world?? and, of course, I will hit the liquor store tomorrow.

ok, ok, ok, ok, ok (mm lethal weapon) I am so super excited for holiday time. I need a break from work, and a break from Kelowna, beautiful place, but I swear it is like being in Dr.Who with all the plastic people.
yippy Ki-yay for all the real people that go to conventions!@!! (I seem to be wanting to watch action movies.

And we'll need some milk. Or hotchocolate. Or Tea. Because anyone who hasn't done the Tim-Tam-Slam before absolutely must!

My favorite ones are the dark chocolate ones I got in Australia last year but they seem to be distributing them all in Canada now

I live in Rockingham but work in Fremantle. Where were you?

I go through phases like that also. I have just finished the Die Hards but now have gone on to Enterprise. I feel like a flip flop sometimes.

[RinkRat]

Totally out of topic, but who was it who was coming from Calgary and offered to bring something from the Flames? I have a friend who would love a cap or a key-ring or some other small and cheap-ish item. Please to PM? KTHXBAI!

Did you ever get my PM?

Con is fast approaching and I need to know how much money you would like me to spend for a Flames item.

No treating myself with staying at the HI this year, the price per night is horrendous! Can't justify that cost compared to a tank or two of gas, so the drive to and from the con every day it is.

At least it means more money for photo ops and all the other bits and pieces that you always seem to end up buying however you try to curb the spending!

I've had to switch to the Hilton. I noticed that HI was charging $10 per person over 2 people in a room. PM AG.
