I am coming from Washington, DC. Until the past couple of days it has been brutally hot and in the 90s for over a month. I welcome 60 degree weather.

So, do I have to show my Gatecon registration card to get the discount? Thanks

Getting Around Vancouver & Beyond / Currency question

Greetings! I arrive on Tuesday, Sept 6 and will have plenty of time to get my bearings before sightseeing on Wednesday including getting some cash. Please advise me, should I go to a bank for CAD or will the hotel have an exchange booth? For that matter, do Vancouver area shops and restaurants accept USD? Thanks

Pier 73 looks great! I like the idea of a private room, too. Thanks for taking the lead in organizing this event.

I vote $20-30 range! My first Gatecon was 2008 and I had a blast meeting soooo many Gateworld folks and Shippers, too (you know who you are!!!) . I'm looking at this get-together (this will be my second Gatecon) as both a reunion as well as a chance to meet more Stargate fans!!! Squeeeeee !!!

Richard, This is a follow up to my earlier email to you. I made a duplicate purchase for my group a few minutes after the ticket sales began. A regrettable mistake for which I would like to resolve. At your earliest convenience (I understand you all are VERY busy now with the many confirmations), please instruct me on how to correct this. Many thanks! Nell

No, yours is not a stupid question! Mine, however, may certainly be.  What will the link look like to join the queue to buy tickets? A big, honkin' button? Please not a wee itty bitty link that I surely will not see!! OK, that's where my anxiety is growing!

Good luck everyone!!!

Hey, here's an idea! How about just adding my con ticket to my con hotel bill?  My mates think it's a great idea and we all won't clog the server on October 4. Hmmm, just trying to think out of the box!

Speaking of weather, what is the average temperature in Vancouver in September? Rainy season?
