Gatecon 2001

[imported_Helen]

I'll be at Gatecon 2001 and I can hardly wait! I managed to get a VIP ticket so I am really excited! Hotel and plane are booked, I have already blocked out time at my office. I would like to get to know some of you are going here first so when we meet in RL I will already sorta know you! Who else is going????

Helen:alienooh: :alienooh: :alienooh:

 

[Gatecon]

Well, I suppose I can start.....

My name is Allan, and I will basically be the 'Public Face' that most people will see at Gatecon. Apart from being the Staging coordinator, I am also the MC.

I'm a very approachable person, so come up and say Hi at any time (as everyone does )

I'm fairly easy to spot.... I'm the skinny Aussie that will either be running around like a chook with it's head cut off, or the person quietly swearing to himself in the corner when things don't go to plan LOL

At Gatecon

Hi! I'm Jari, aka Rowan, and I'll be one of the first folks you'll see. I'm running the registration part of things. I'm 5'8+" with short, silver hair.

I'll also be helping con goers wuth any problems they may have between themselves and the host hotel, so if something should arise, let me know.

Looking forward to see folks.

Well hopefully I'll be there Helen..... it's my first time at any kind of convention. I'm just waiting for my ticket to be processed. Unfortunately it isn't a VIP ticket, but since I am also having to go through a major interview and presentation on 25 September in Vancouver, that's probably just as well. I'll be nervous about the interview as it is.... so I'll be in Vancouver anyway, Gatecon or not!

My piccy is attached so that you can see what I look like..... not that you're likely to in amongst the crowd who I have been told will be there, but heck.... who knows? I'm flying in from the UK via Washington DC (another interview) on the 19th.

Hi Helen,
I too just joined the forum, and have found the people to be the best-warm and welcoming to all-hopefully I'll be at Gatecon 2001-I'd like to get a bunch of people together to meet-there's safety in numbers-as a former police department employee, I'll be glad to keep an eye out for Goa'uld traps. Seriously, welcome aboard and Shel Kree.
Still searching for my Sha're,
Jaffa-Jim

i really want to go to gatecon but not sure if i can swing it does any one know that if this is the last season will this be it for gatecons???:dead:

 

[Gatecon]

Well, I can officially say

NO WAY

We have already booked the convention center for 2002 AND 2003.

Even if this is the last year of filming, the series won't finnish in the USA till just before Gatecon 2002. (And don't forget the movie after that)

Television also has a great thing called sindication which means that Stargate will be around long after the series has actually stopped filming and airing.

We (at Gatecon) have a close relationship with most people to do with Stargate SG-1, and even after things have been dispanded, we wil still have the contacts to get the guests for future conventions.

We will be here for a few years yet

GateCon will Live on

You bet your ever-lovin' DHD it will. We're all having too much fun [look behind the slightly harried faces and you'll see a smile in there, I promise] for this group to stop doing the cons.

thanxs that makes me feel better!

Yeah, I dont think RDA and MS do the convention scene, but AT did come to London last year. - not saying she'll come this year, but I'm KICKING myself I didnt go see it last year for the p*ss ant reason that my friends who laugh.

Everyone. Please line up and kick me for my insecure stupidity!!!

I'm gonna have to see. I'd like to go, but I'm all over the place at the minute, cos I'm setting up a company (which will probably take up all of my money )
I don't care if my friends laugh at me anymore. I'd get to meet the stars and they'd still be sitting down the pub (as we do every night!)

Hey nic don't worry all my mates and my brothers laugh at me for wanting to go to the convention but I just tell them to put a sock in it (not as polite as that though)

Like you nic I really want to go but the money is the problem but hey I will have to see...might be able to go yet!

and nic we would not kick you!!!!!

 

[skoon]

Hi Helen & all, Still don't know if I'm going. My name...well my nickname has always been Skoon which somehow originated from my name, Marianne (which is pronounced Marianna, it's German, it's a curse). I'm 24 & 5'7''. Anyone know how long tickets will be available (seeing we have to send away to the States for them). Anyhoo, you may see me around, I now live in Richmond.

 

[Gatecon]

Skoon, there will still be tickets available for a while yet. We havn't reached capacity yet, but we are getting close.
