The Homecoming 8th-12th September 2016 / Re: Photograph Sessions
« on: October 20, 2015, 11:44:38 PM »
I crave knowledge! That knowledge would be:
1.) Are the photo-ops being taken by a company or an individual that does professional photography?
2.) Will there be more than 1 photographer?
THANKIES!

Usually hotels are happy to exchange currency. The airport has a currency exchange branch and there is another exchange branch a 12min walk from the hotel.

The Homecoming 8th-12th September 2016 / Re: Autograph Sessions
« on: October 15, 2015, 03:49:00 PM »We will have a better idea of the itinerary once we know for sure which guests are available when and for how long. I'm not really a fan of forcing folks to choose between a panel and a photo session, and we normally only have that kind of set up when the guest list is a large one...and guess what?!!
So we will try our best to keep it to a minimum, but yes, advance warning, it may well be the case that there are certain photo sessions going on while panels are happening.
As far as the auto session is concerned, that will take place on the Sunday afternoon once the panels have ended - though again if any guests are unable to attend on Sunday we will try to fit in an extra auto session if we can.
Thanks for the reassurance and plethora of information!!!

The Homecoming 8th-12th September 2016 / Re: Volunteers
« on: October 12, 2015, 11:36:27 PM »Mum got told..
I'm gonna volunteer for registration if possible, I wanna say hi to as many of you as possible
Woohoo!! Registration is my favorite place to volunteer at conventions and it's usually where I end up except at a few of them. So here's to registration volunteers!!!!!!!
If we both go for it, maybe you can show me the ropes lol! No clue what to do lol!
You got it!!!!! 👍🏼 I always end up feeling at home when I help during registration. I used to help run registration for a Con with 40,000+ attendees, this past weekend I helped run registration for another Con with 4,000+ attendees.

The Homecoming 8th-12th September 2016 / Re: Tickets
« on: October 12, 2015, 11:32:28 PM »Just got another ticket - this one for my sister. I called her and mentioned that I was coming to this convention and she immediately decided she wanted to come too. (I think the magic words were 'R****** D*** A*******)
Neither of us have ever been to Vancouver so this will definitely be fun.
Brilliant! Can't wait to see everyone...
I think RDA might have been everyone's magic words haha
Yeah I told a friend about it a few days ago and then spoke to her again this weekend and I think she and her b/f are getting tickets soon. For me personally it's a tie between Tapping and RDA.
I met AT in April and RDA in July and they are both lovely and I can't wait to meet both of them again!
Looking forward to meeting Teryl, David and Peter as well though, those two seem like they are a hoot at conventions
I met AT in April too! It was in the states and it was the best thing ever and I'll never forget meeting her for the first time! I still remember the day perfectly despite me being a complete BASKET-CASE that day.

This whole autograph thing has me nervous now...
After reading that your payment basically gets you 2 autographs that going to be 1 long stressful line! I'm almost in a panic just thinking about how hard and LONG that's going to take! These actors and actress don't need us giving them carpel tunnel. I'm not going to say which Con but by the time they got to my row, which was only 4 back the Con staff had made MAJOR adjustments and restraints on how our signing would go. What the actor or actress would write was also limited to just their name and you could tell they weren't having as good of a time anymore they had their famous "Con" going face on which was super disappointing!

« on: October 12, 2015, 04:19:50 PM »I was so bummed to have Amanda not at SGCHI this year. However- this is amazing that she will be at The Homecoming. that way much more of the cast is together!
I think a lot of people were bummed about AT having to cancel coming out for SGCHI, I know I was one of those people!
But I'm super excited about the list so far, just 2 names I've not seen be added though 1 I know won't be and the other, well, I've got my wait and see hat for him.

« on: October 09, 2015, 12:16:11 PM »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.
Where did you sit for SGCHI?? I was there!
Ummm, scrolls through memory, J 8 I think?! What about you?
Gatecon I'm sitting on seat C24!!! Up close, in the middle, and ready for some great pics to be taken!!

Itinerary & Activities / Re: Overview of the planned activities
« on: October 08, 2015, 11:59:39 PM »
I foresee a competition of who can drink who under the table... I will gladly raise my hand and say I'll be first out.. Still breastfeeding so not drinking right now lol! I'm gonna have to get some practice in before I come over!
This is sort of an unofficial competition every year. =) Usually in different groups around the con.
Oh dear, should we be scared?
Us wee Scottish folk are harmless!! No need to be scared
Ohh I'm so excited to be among fellow drink mates! I don't know many people who can match me or out drink me! I love my drinks but I'm smart and careful about how I drink and it always works wonders.
Having this list out is amazing! This being set-up so far with lost of detail is really nice and cuts down on all the what-ifs and how questions.
I think we need some fun stuff planned for after 9pm! The last Con I went to they didn't have anything to do after like 8pm and the hotel bar closed at like 11pm. Most nights we ended up playing Fluxx or CAH (Cards Against Humanity) or another card game but it got old after a while.
