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.

I'd love to see Joe Flannigan - but he's at a Chicago Stargate con like a week or two after this one. (So is Amanda - unless she cancelled that one). Not sure if he would do two

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.

Be aware that if you have one of those credit cards with the hotel points, that is another way to cover the cost of the room. That is what I did.

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....

Just went through my Stargate Book.  There are 12 guest coming who's autographs I need to get.  Maybe I should give up sewing and learn how to print money instead.   

Yea, no kidding. I can only wait and see how much $$ I will end up spending

Hi everyone  My name is Tabitha, but in the Stargate fan fiction world I'm known as Cassie. I attended my first Stargate convention with Gatecon in 2001. And I'm excited to say I'm coming back for the Homecoming. I can't wait to see everyone and hopefully reconnect with old friends. See you guys on the other side of the gate.... Cassie

Welcome aboard and Merry Christmas!
