Amanda Tapping 2002

[neith4]

shelby and others mail me if interested in meeting
- its looks like I can go -
I can just barely scrape it into the budget despite the usual diasters ( two new bills to pay - no new work or sales sigh )
and I'ld like so NOT to do the last minute oops where did everyone go/ lost in the crowd thing I wanted to meet at lunch time thing - especially when there's a reasonable viet restaurant next door!

I cant junk food or snack for lunch - cos of my hypoglycaemia

anyone want a sitdown meal if the lunch break doesnt interfere with autograph queques???

I have no idea where my seat is but probably at the back somewhere?!

(depressed explanatory waffle optional reading ...)

neith is praying next weekend is better than this - broke my normal rules worked on a sunday and had a mega bad work experience of the problem adding to variety tho it was partly caused by a certain venue sooo NOT giving adequate PR support or easy public transport access to a market (yes moving the gate away from the bus stop is such a grrr clever idea - clearly making money from the car park fees is more important than good signage for foot traffic!!! aaaargh) I had a stall at ... and I'm still down in money and mood (3 months of prep wasted) !!!

down down down way down ...

I SOOO need majorly to have a GOOD break next weekend

 

[ShelbyS]

Yeah, Neith, that would be excellent. I'll email you.

 

[neith4]

okay shelby - recyt others !

I'm about 5'6' probably look ten years older then the photo on my website with all the stress I've been thru lately (grrr) dark hair shoulder length blue eyes and will probably have a black shoulder bag and be reading a book or sketching during breaks
i may try to carry on a bag or something a large tag with the neith hieroglyphs - i hope to do lunch at the restaurant next door
maybe who ever gets to lunch first can bag a table or something?

I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding us. I'll have a name tag on so that should make it a bit easier.

MAN im SSOOOOOOO excited its this weekend!!!!!!
cant wait to meet all the people that are coming!

 

[Raptor]

Someones been drinking waaaay to much coffee...
I'm not going. I think I left it too late this year. Besides, you need money to buy tickets, and all I have on me are three one cent pieces, a paper clip, and something that may be dryer lint.
Next time, then.

Its gonna be great.

But, I do have ONE question. Its kind of silly - but its something that needs to be realised I think, especially since I have never been to any kind of convention like this before - at all.

WHAT............exactly, is the dress code?

I realise that since it is at a club, its not rock up in casual clothes, but tell me its not like super formal or anything is it? I meant to ask the booking lady on the phone, but she was so busy telling me details and etc I forgot!

Shelby - you went to BOBW - you should know?

 

[ShelbyS]

Yeah, it's casual, but neat. In other words they don't want anyone rocking up in shorts and a pair of thongs.

I'm just wearing jeans and a tee shirt.

BTW: Shaz, if you read this before 1300 tomorrow, can you ring me and give me your cell phone number.

 

[JAD]

hehe i was gonna wear shorts and thongs.....its so hot up here in sydney :blush: :blush: hehe
oh well ill wear some decent clothes!
gettin close now!!

 

[ShelbyS]

@Josh

Ah, only 4 hours until I see you guys. It's so exciting.

 

[shazstar]

Well I am honoured to make the first post A/A (after Amanda!)

Guys - Amanda Tapping is the most charismatic lady I have ever met.
Not only is she a truly wonderful actress, she is hilariously funny, genuinely interested in her fans and what we have to say and incredibly generous.


She had us in stitches of laughter, pulled off some amazing RDA, MS, DS.D and CJ impersonations, she got us singing, and her well performed antics during the auction probably raised the prices of the items up for auction by oh say 200%.

FSF did an ABSOLUTELY incredible job it was well handled and well run.

Not only did we get to meet and greet AT herself, we also recruited some new members!

All in all a very very sensational event that I for one will treasure the memory of, especially as it was my first convention.

Just a short note for now, I will post more tomorrow, Also Josh and Shelby I am SURE will fill you with more details!


BTW: If AT could be a System Lord she wants to come back as Apophis. Dead serious it was one of my questions!



What a fantastic day!:rolly2:

 

[Raptor]

Meet the new plan, same as the old plan: I am going after all! Mum had one of her ideas (it happens) and we're all going to Melbourne for the day...where they'll promptly dump me at the con and go shopping without me. Weee!
So... is anyone else going? Anyone?
