Meet-A-Gater

[Atlantia]

Hello, I'm Jamie, coming from UT along with my hubby and sister! Hubby and I are frequent con-goers, but this will be our first Stargate Con. Considering he proposed to me the first time he saw my Stargate collection, I think it's safe to say Stargate is a bit of a big deal in our home and we're really excited for Gatecon!!

Nope! You got me there! Where is UT? 😊btw Welcome! 😆

UT=The beautifully rugged state of Utah. :-)

This will be my first time at Gatecon as well. I did go to some Trek cons in the 1990s (when I was in college), but it's been many, many years since I've been to anything like this.

Coming up from Texas - this will be my first time in Canada. Should be cool.

I just found the website about the con this morning - so, I was happy to still be able to get a ticket.

I watched all three Stargate series when they were on tv - but I've recently been buying the new packs of Sg1 episodes on DVD and rewatching them. Up to season 8 right now. Man, I miss that show. I loved catching it every week when it was on.

Hi Barbara!!! Welcome aboard!!!

I'm in Season 3 - and am really enjoying it.  A great show (I'm sure I'll get no argument about that.)

No argument there XD, but if you're a shipper brace yourself for season four and the following four... *goes back in her dark corner* XD

Uh-Oh.  What's a 'shipper'??  Will I need to join you in the 'dark corner'?

(I actually read that first as 'stripper' - had me confused for a second.)

Hi, I am originally from England, and when I lived there I DREAMT of going to a Stargate Con in Vancouver and hoped one day I could go.  Then I moved to Ontario , and although I was closer, I still couldn't afford the flight and accommodation etc, then I found there was a convention in Chicago, which is not that far from where I live, so I have been to the Chicago conventions for the last few years.

I am thrilled that I am now in a position to be able to afford a trip to Vancouver and go to this Convention.

Hello - I'm Debbie from Ohio.   This will be my first Gatecon, and it will be the farthest I've traveled yet for a convention!  The best thing about cons is being surrounded by people who share the same interest and get the jokes, so I'm eager to spend a weekend with all of you!

That is pretty cool. I've always had to skip them in the past for the same reasons, since I am way down here in Texas. But, I'm giving up my annual Philadelphia hockey trip I make in order to go to this instead

So, I know how ya feel.

I am skipping the conventions in DC and Williamsburg for Gatecon and eating BOLOGNA for the next few months!!!!

I haven't been to a con in like 20 years. So, will be new for me again.

Hey Debbie!!! I'm from Michigan and although I've been to Stargate Chicago I've never been to The Official Gatecon SO looking forward to meeting everyone!

[+ChangesAT]

It's looking like quite a few of us haven't been able to attend an official "Gatecon" for a few reasons so this will be awesome!! I haven't either though I did FINALLY make it to SGCHI in August.
