Talkin' about Canadians, eh! The biggest defining element we Canucks seem to have is "we are not Americans" & we are proud of it. Plus, we spell colour the right way not color like them to the South, eh. Americans are fine. I don't mind Americans. I'm just not an American.
Whos going to GATECON 2001?

My file sizes are smaller than yours without having to throw all them random "U"s in there.
My bosses don't seem to have the "not American" thing going. They are outnumbered in the office. But there is some ongoing rivarly between two office members about Toronto vs. Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
I'm going to Gatecon and I can't wait to meet you all!!!!
I'm a native Vancouverite and excited about the con and meeting all you nice folk from out of town or from town!
No offence, Padders, but I'll be the one with the button that says "xst@gaters.net".
See ya!

Hi xst....... I thought we already had a 'coffee date' when I get to Vancouver.....!!!!
(Anni=Titan from Gaters.net)
Looking forward to meeting you. My badge will simply say "Anni" and I'm not hard to miss. They do say 'once seen never forgotten'
:evil:

The Con
I'm easy to find. I run the registration table.
I live only 3 hours south of the con, in Tacoma, WA. so Canada isn't really a different country to me. The medieval research group I belong to [the SCA] - well, out 'Kingdom' is made up of Washington, Oregon, part of Idaho, BC, Alberta, Sask, The Yukon and the NWT so all Canada is for me is Northern An Tir and I'm up there for events every couple of months or so.

And it's okay to proud of one's country, Skoon. I'm very proud to be American and won't hold it against you folks if you just *have* to keep that extra vowel around and insist on pronouncing it 'zed' rather than 'zee'.
Of course, maybe there's more of an 'Us'vrs 'Them' feeling back in the eastern part of the US and Canada. I noticed that when I was on a dig last year in Israel with a bunch of students from York there in Toronto - the other part of the dig was from Bar Ilan University in Tel Aviv. Cheeky, teritorial group they were.
Out here on the West coast, we're actually one country that includes Oregon, Washington, Idaho, BC and some parts north and east... we just haven't told our respective governments yet.

I heard that once on a TV documentary about the train that used to cross southern BC.
That would make an interesting AU setting... what if The United States of Western America owned the Stargate... You're right, I have too much time on my hands...
Bless you Skoon..... that was a lovely thing to say. Being proud of your country is a fine thing, but being a member of the human race is even more important! Something we tend to forget about in all of these bundaries and barriers we love to erect, between countries and more importantly, people.
I like people too, from all over the world and I rejoice in the subtle and not so subtle differences. We live on a fascinating planet. I love to travel and meet people, live where they live and see all of the fascinating things there are to see. For me, it's much better than just sitting home in merrie olde England....

Hi!!! to Anni/Titan! I didn't recognize you, but your Chronos avatar should have been a BIG HINT!
Actually, Northern California also belongs to the "western conglomeration" of Western States/Provinces. Southern California is way too different!!! (in a nice way, of course! )
Yeppers! Gonna meet a whole lot of fascinating Stargate people from various boards!

Hi Xst...... Yep, me and Chronos have this thing going!!!
Of course, it's perfectly safe since he's not real!!!! Why is it that all the best guys only exist in my dreams?
:evil: :evil:
I'll look forward to seeing you, but since there's probably going to be a lot of folk there, I'm probably going to be spending a lot of time peering at name tags!
We could have that coffee though!
