I'll probably be walking it, not bothered about the distance...
! I'll bring comfortable shoes haha 

I want to walk too so let`s open up a walking group 

Got to make sure I make my 10,000 steps a day hahaha!!!!

You`re having a little daughter so 10.000 steps a day shouldn`t be a problem

For several months now I've had to enter my password more than once to log into the forum. A pop up window that looks like a chat screen gives me an error message about my password. Doesn't matter which browser I use. #annoying

...sounds familiar -  just thought my password is too long

Thought I would Finally Say Hello to Everyone. My Name is Serenity (Seren for short) I'm coming from Nebraska I will be in G29.

I have never been to gatecon but I have gone to the stargate Chicago con, we decide on gatecon this year (it was really a how did this happen thing) I asked my Dad jokingly for 2 days and then he said yes. So it just happened and I screamed for days. I have been a fan since I was 8,
(some people say that's too young to watch stuff like that...I watched the xfiles when I was 4 so yeah no biggie)
anyways Hello

Hi Seren,
greetings and a big hello from Germany  - nice to meet you here and in Vancouver personally of course. Susanne

Hi everyone!!
I am Maria and come from Germany. I've been to a couple of other Stargate cons but never to a Gatecon. I became a Stargate fan after SG1 got cancelled. But since then I am hooked. Although I watch plenty of other shows Stargate is my number one go to show to have a good time. It will always have a special place in my heart.
I've met RDA already twice in Germany at a con and he is such a funny and gracious man! Love him!
When I heard about the Homecoming I got soooooooo excited and decided on the spot that I must have a ticket at all costs! And I got lucky and I sit in place J38. I am also happy to meet again some friends, who I usually get a chance to meet at cons and I am looking forward to get to know plenty of new Stargate crazy like minded fans! Can't wait to see you all and have a great time with the actors during this time! So I hope September 2016 is approaching fast and to making new friends!!
See you there!

Hi Maria nice to meet you here. I`m Susanne and come from Germany too. I live nereby Frankfurt/M. Where do you live?
Funny I sit 3 rows behind you M38 
Are you looking for a roommate? I have one bed left (5.-18.09.). I`ve already booked my flight with Condor from Frankfurt directly to Vancouver so maybe you want to go on the same - would be fun wouldn`t it?

Hi Susanne,
I live right on the North East Coast of Germany. I don't know if you have heard of Greifswald, this is the close by town, which is maybe known for its university.
I haven't quite fixed my travel plans yet due to my constantly shifting working schedule.
Thanks for the offered hotel room but I have to decline. At least this I've got covered. I will check in with a few American and Canadian women whom I've met before at other Stargate conventions. That's what I was talking about when I said meeting friends from other cons. The world can be so small regarding how a fandom can keep us all together and we all meet up wherever whenever in the world. LOVE IT!
Regarding the plane -as I said before I am not sure yet what my working plan is going to be and it makes it quite difficult for me to buy any plan tickets now, but will see in the new year. Unfortunately I probably won't be joining you on a plane from Frankfurt. When I fly to Vancouver then from Berlin probably via Heathrow or Paris. Sorry.
But don't worry there is still plenty of time to meet and chat and I think it will be great meeting you there. I try to extend my vacation time longer than the expected convention time to do some sightseeing in and around Vancouver. At the moment I hope I can spend some time in Vancouver from the 5-15.9. It's not that long, but better than nothing.
What are your plans for the time before and after the con? Any specific interests? Do you like to do as many convention stuff as possible, or just the panels/autographs/picture sessions?
So many things to talk about and to get excited about.. Let's keep in touch! Will be fun meeting you and all the other great guys!

Hi Maria,
yes I`ve heard of Greifswald but never been there. How far is it from Berlin?
Of course I`d like to do as many convention stuff as possible - harbour cruise, vangroovy party, location bus tour etc. Also I`d like to discover Vancouver and surrounding when there is enough time because I like to volunteer and offered Richard a helping hand for post- and precon activities. But we`ll see.
I`m excited about the whole thing - meeting all the more (like me  ) or less crazy about Stargate guys, the actors and beeing on vacation on my own for the first time in my life. Can`t wait for it!!

Thanks for the feedback. I received an email to say that the Mad Greek Restaurant may not be operating after June 2016 as their lease is up.  I will still keep them in mind just in case.

Meanwhile, I would like an idea of what price range is most popular.  I have added a few selections to the 1st post. They are;
$20-$30
$30-$40
$40-$50

Let me know, or I will guess and may go higher or lower than you would like! 😆

I`m o.k with your selections - as long as we have lots of fun!

Hi everyone, I`m Susanne from Germany and this will be my first con ever. I come by myself (found no one around who is so SG-1 crazy like me - my record on watching the complete seasons is 1 1/2 weeks) but here in the community I feel like coming home. I can`t wait to meet you all next September in Vancouver!! Never been there before and I`m absolutely excited, thrilled and oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh I just burst  . But first and foremost I have to sJaffa Creee up the money for this absolutely funky trip (even if I have to make a bank robbery). I want to be part of every tour and have as much fun as possible.

My seat is M38, anyone else in M? Took a while to make this decision but if I hadn`t I`d regret this for the rest of my life. Right?

So bye for now

Welcome to the Gatecon family! You will have a great time. You only live once so life's too short to miss out on experiences xo

Yes you`re sooo right  and thanks for the welcome!

Also, the reserved tables were off limits to us, but some of the guests that attended came around and said hello. 😀 we had a great conversation with Colin Cunningham. 😊

I can deal with that... !
Hopefully some of them do come and say hello!
Although I'll probably stay silent and stare haha 

Haha...that could be me so I have to drink a little or a lot???
