    I did a Photobucket dump today. Feel free to snag anything you would like. I was back in Row M, so the pics aren't professional quality, but take them as you wish. All David Hewlett and Joe Flanigan. No SGU.

      Yes they do...I was just curious whether they would at such a small con given the prices were probably lower - for instance I've seen banners for for over $500 that went for around $200 at the LA con.

        Thanks everybody for sharing your pictures. It looks like it was a great con.

          I missed all the auctions - too busy! - but heard the banners did go for really cheap. Some under $100 I believe.

            Are those banners I can see on the wall? Did they auction them off?
            I think that they may have had a lot of complaints from fans and guests about that. Since the fans are paying good money for the autographs/autographed photos. And I think that the guests may even feel that the fans are getting the raw end of the deal when the Con organizers are telling them that they can't do personalization. All it does is cheapens the experience. Any of the guests could just "presign" a ton of their photos beforehand. And for many fans, getting just an autograph that isn't personalized can have that feeling attatched. And many like myself prefer them to be personalized as it means more to me, and also lets the guest know that it means something to me, and is not just something I'm going to turn around and flog on Ebay or something.

              email me the photo ops when you get them, would love to see them: also does brian have a website?? if so what is it??? if you know?? thanks, your friend james.
              Hey James! I don't know of a website for him but if you are on Twitter and would like to follow him this is his username on there:

              @BrianJacobSmith

              Can't promise that he will "tweet" back to any of his fans, though you never know. I did't think that Alaina would "tweet" back to me but she had, and the first time she did, I was almost in shock. Since then, anytime she does, I am still a little surprised, but don't go crazy anymore. Best thing to do is just tweet him periodically or tweet in response to stuff he tweets etc. You never know, he may just respond back once or once and a while. I have him on my following list, but I don't see him tweeting as much as some of the others do though.

              Hope this helps ya James!

                  Hi all! As you can see I'm VERY new here - at least as far as the forum goes. I was also at the convention this past weekend - brought my two boys with - and we had a fabulous time. Here are a few pictures from the Saturday events (boy, I hope this works) . . . enjoy!!

                    Was anyone else at the convention in Minneapolis on Sunday, to see Joe and David?

                    I went to the SG convention in Chicago last year and was horribly disappointed, but this convention was fantastic! Small, intimate, and the hotel was SO nice, and the staff was nicer than the ones in Chicago. I'm not sure if it's just because the notification given was so short, or if people want to go for an entire weekend, but having it be less well attended was a boon for the people who showed up!

                      Alaina knows who all her followers are!

                      Her eyes really lit up when she talked about twitter and her fans on twitter! If I would have remember to bring your handle with me to the Dessert Party (I'm sorry about that, so much was going on) she would have tweeted you from the Dessert Party!

                          Unfortunately no. Loss of job at the end of this month is going to Eucher that. Will be at GateCon in July though as I already had that paid for.

                          Do you use twitter?

                                Who was the lucky/unlucky (depending on your viewpoint) person who got to have Brian spit his gum into their hand?
