The Homecoming 8th-12th September 2016 / Re: Autograph Sessions

« on: September 01, 2016, 09:26:13 PM »

I can't make it and sold my ticket a while back. But I just saw this online - this really sucks for you guys

(see here: http://rdanderson.com/updates/updates.htm#20160901gatecon ):

Well folks, there's no avoiding the issue anymore: as most of you may know by now I recently performed a head plant onto a cement surface, sustaining a concussion, broken rib, sprained left wrist, and an oddly broken right elbow. Right now, and for at least the next 12 weeks, I will be in a splint on my right arm to completely limit any rotation or peripheral movement of the arm. The obvious problem this causes, is that I will be unable to sign any autographs with my right hand.

Paul Brown and myself have been commiserating to try and solve this dilemma. To be perfectly honest with all of you nothing seems to satisfy as a solution.... as yet. This whole situation is distressing, and truly saddens me greatly. Paul and I will continue to work on ideas to satisfy my autograph promises, but for now I won't be able to sign any autographs, which I know is important to so many of my incredibly loyal fans and friends.

I want to assure everyone that I will BE there, in Vancouver. My injuries are proving to be slow to heal, and I am still dealing with a fair amount of discomfort, but nothing is going to keep me away from our Homecoming. I will be there for some gentle hugs, and as many pictures as we can all endure.

I felt it only fair to announce the situation so everybody knows upfront what's happening. Thanks for understanding, and I hope you all still attend. Personally, I'm determined that the Homecoming will be a fun event....after all, 'fun' IS my middle name.

Love to all,

Rick

Go here:

http://picpaste.novarata.net/

- In the middle of the screen should be a button that says: "Choose File." Click on that and select the file you want to upload.

- Then press the "Upload" button. Your image will upload and a new page will load... "Upload Successful" will be on the new page.

- Look for the third text box that says "Direct link." Click in that box, and the entire line will be highlighted. Right click your mouse and click "copy" on the menu.

- Come to your post you want to put on this site. Click the third button on the 2nd row (it says "Insert Image" if you hover over it).

- Paste your link in between the IMG tags that appear.

You are done!!!


*** Try not to upload a photo larger than 800x600 pixels - or it will be too large to see on most screens.

The Homecoming 8th-12th September 2016 / Re: Our Guests

Ah goddamnit.

I was SO looking forward to meeting them, this might have been my only chance since this journey is costing a hell of a lot and probably won't be able to make another one the year after.

Very disappointed at them, not gatecon staff...

Yes, I feel the same. I've never been to a stargate convention, and all of this played a big part in why I booked the trip. Man, this sucks... I may not have scheduled the event had I known this.

This list of guests is awsome!!!

... and if there would be added TORRI HIGGINSON it would be absolutely WOW. 

There is a convention in Chicago the same month. She is at that one. So is Chris Judge and so is Joe Flanigan. Probably why she and Flanigan aren't going to be there. Although, Amanda Tapping is at the other convention too....

Well, it was mentioned on http://rdanderson.com/

Saw online yesterday that RDA is cancelling a convention appearance in Boston within the next month because of his continued back issues. Hopefully he gets better soon.

Hi! I'm trekz, David, from Chicago, Illinois, US. I'm very excited to be going to my first Gatecon, with my significant other, Shelley. I've been to a few Stargate cons in Chicago, including the last couple. As you can guess by my moniker, I have attended quite a few conventions dealing with another sci-fi series starting with the word Star, lol. Looking forward to meeting lots of the friendly people who've already posted. We were in Vancouver in September, and are excited to go back. Shelley is looking forward to going to Victoria, which I've visited a couple times on my own, plus seeing a bit more of Vancouver than downtown, Chinatown and Stanley Park, all of which we enjoyed!

We'll be in seats K26 and K 27.

Welcome from Texas!

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

Hi all, thought I would introduce myself...  I am Connie from Ky, This will be my first out of state/country con and I am looking forward to it.  Can't wait to hang with Brenda and meet some others with the same interest as me...I am of course a big SG fan and Sanctuary.

Welcome aboard from Texas!

Assuming we will need to pay in CAD for autos, has anybody ever tried to exchange money out of an ATM for smaller bills at a nearby bank?

Yea, I was wondering that too. It's a bit of a pain to get foreign money. Unless you are a customer, some banks won't do it. And, not all banks do it at all (if you are a customer at one of those)

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.

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.

OK, thanks for the info. I assume tickets for this will pop up on the website eventually - for us to pre-buy tickets?

And, some conventions have photo prints available to buy to get signed. Online, most of the cool photos I have seen listed at ebay and other places are already signed. I haven't been able to find unsigned prints of the pics I like. I assume there will be some sort of dealer's room to buy stuff?
