sigh...perhaps I'll go this year. I lived in Richmond , but I seem to remeber there was a bus strike on at the time so I didn't go...lousy public transit...story of my life. Ok I'll only go if someone out there I know will meet me before hand & go with me...Hey Dr. J. Mr. defacing King, coming this year (see Skoon smile innocently...)

cool...along the way meaning...downtown Vancouver & now, like Oragan or something eh
I'm worried now about whether to get one day or all 4. If I only get one day which of the 4 do I pick & if I get all four days, what if I'm bored to tears or don't fit in or am glued to the back wall? I might be a bitch on wheels when posting but shy as a door nob with strangers...on the other hand if anyone needs to know the bus route & wants a Vancouver tour guide, I'm your gal....the general tour I give my international friends, let's start with Gas Town, tourist trap but nice, up the tower at Harbour centre for an airial view, on to the sea bus for a little trip across the Burrard Inlet to North Van for coffee & refreshments and Lonsdale Quey, back onto the sea bus, Canada place to look at the cruise ships, catch a bus to Stanley park, back downtown, over to Granville Island/False Creek (nice market area)...requirements...comfortable shoes, like walking, put up with my camera. Oh & the new Millenium line is open on the skytrain...
ok I'll stop yabbling. the point is, I don't have a car, but I can show you the 'local' spots of interest...

I'm going to try and come also!
:rolly2: I'm going to try and come also, but hopefully when I'm able to buy my ticket they will still be available!
This is also my first time and will be a belated birthday present to myself! Last convention I went to was over 15 years ago!!!!!!
I think I'm going to go by train (2 day trip) I would be coming from the Midwest. If I can go maybe I can meet some of you????
Cross your fingers!!!!!!!!!!!!!:iiworry:

I highly recomend you join the Gategoers list:

There's info there (back in the archives somewhere...). Also a database of who's booked on the flight (so don't forget to add your name if you book...)
The 'Gatwick Express' (also reffered to as the 'Gategoers Express' is booked through Canadian Affair:

Leaving Gatwick 6th Sept, return flight on the 20th.
Hope to see you on it!

45 minutes... That was lucky! If I and my friend are lucky our flight from Spain will take us 12 or 13 hours because we'll have to stop over London or Frankfurt...
Vancouver could be nearby... But, you know, our iron will will help us to carry the flight out!! (hehehe I guess...)

I'm so there
Well, all I have to say is you have to come, all of you!!! I am always bouncing around meeting everyone and I always have the best time. I met a few of the people from this board last year and am always up for hanging with new friends. I understand how hard it is to meet people. I went to my first con alone and half way across the country. I had a blast and met my best friend, we still go to cons every year and continue to have a blast. I have a website of pictures from each year's Gatecon, plus you'll see what I look like and then can find me at the con and say "Hi". I am still working on last years con, long story, but it is in the works. Here's the address: http://www.kimsadventures.com/Gatecon/Default.asp
Well, if it's at all possible I say do what you have to to come, steal, borrow, max out a credit card, just come, eat bread and drink water, you'll still have a blast.
The best day to come is Saturday, next is friday, then sunday.
party on people!!! SS
