LOL, I think I'll skip this. :D

Oh, come on. This doesn't look like fun?  ;)

Unfortunately not just the Whistler zipline

Too bad. This one is closer than Whistler. I'm still considering though because it looks like loads of fun. Thanks for checking on it!  ;)

Richard, did you ever find out if there was a discount? Was thinking of doing this after watching the YouTube vid as it seems more than one zip line and quite fun for the 2 hours.

Great pre-sale prices. Will be picking up a few items now so I'll have more monies for the other goodies and fun in Vangroovy later. Thanks for offering early discounted prices!

Just sent in my pic for the video! Let me know if there is any problems in receiving it or size of the pic. Thanks!

Just a word of caution: Prices have gone up

7 days is now $35 USD

14 days is $50 USD

21 days is $60

With the increase I may only go for the 7 day option now. :(

We're almost 3 months out and once again I am looking this over and trying to decide on the 7 or 14 day option. Funny how at my last Gatecon convention I barely had what I would call a smartphone and this sim card stuff wasn't even a concern then. :P

i would be interested thank you,  my flight is at 5.30 pm so i don't want to rush you all just for me as i have to be at the airport about 2 hours before my flight back i think. 

I don't know what Lisa, the lady i am sharing with has planned, so if I may can i keep that open and let you know nearer the time if that is ok with you? it is very much appreciated.  Also i am not sure if i have got on the all day tour on the Monday as on the reserve list so will be lost that day too unless my room mate has ideas or anyone else,  I am waiting to see if i get on that too. 

Thank you so much for your offer and I would love to join you if possible,

Kind regards

Janet

That would be fine! Yes, check with your roomie to make sure she doesn't have plans already. I'll check back here later to see if you have any updates to your stay for that Tuesday. ;)

HI ALL,  I AM FROM THE UK AND AM WONDERING IF ANYONE WOULD BE WILLING TO JOIN ME ON A TRIP OF SOME KIND ON THE TUESDAY OF DEPARTURE, AS I HAVE ALL DAY TO WAIT FOR MY FLIGHT HOME.  SOMEWHERE NOT TOO FAR AS  I DON'T WANT TO MISS MY FLIGHT OBVIOUSLY. 

WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO BE MY COMPANION FOR THE DAY, AS I AM ATTENDING THE CONVENTION ON MY OWN BUT SHARING A ROOM WITH A LOVELY LADY FROM THE USA.  I DON'T KNOW WHAT HER PLANS ARE FOR THAT DAY THOUGH.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW.  I'M SORRY IF THIS IS THE WRONG PLACE TO WRITE THIS.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION I AM 54 YEARS OLD IN CASE YOU DON'T WANT AN 'OLD' PERSON DRAGGING YOU DOWN.

THANK YOU

ALSO LOVE TO MEET ANYONE FROM AROUND THE WORLD AND UK WHO IS GOING TOO.

 :D :D :D :D

Hi Jel!

Some of us were going to Capilano that day if you would like to join us! We'd love the company! We would be taking the shuttle bus so you would only need to get yourself over to Canada Place for the meet-up in the morning. We'd be there for a few hours so you'd have plenty of time to browse with us and even grab lunch before you'd have to head back to the airport for your flight. Let me know if you're interested!

Finally getting a itinerary of what we may want to do while in Vancouver together and Victoria and Butchart Gardens may happen on the 14th. Thanks for getting this discount for us! Will be much appreciated once we're there and begin to see how far our hard-saved funds go. :P

26
Thanks Richard!

I've been here a couple times and would definitely recommend this place. Very peaceful and a nice find in the city. We actually walked both times from our hotel in the downtown area to it, so its a pretty easy walk if you're headed out to explore the different neighborhoods.

The Homecoming 8th-12th September 2016 / Re: Our Guests
« on: February 12, 2016, 05:16:07 PM »
I am disappointed with AT and MS now having other commitments and unable to attend as having the original three would have been great, but I have to disagree with so many here. I'm still quite excited for this event! The guest list is still quite amazing and there are a few attending again that I've met before during the 2008 Gatecon and they're wonderful! So friendly and they put everything they are into being there. They do their darnedest to ensure you're welcome and have a good time while you're there. I also have quite a few candid shots of the guests hanging out with fans in the lobby and bar during that Gatecon that I prize. At what other convention can you do that?

The Gatecon peeps are extraordinary too. They're working hard behind the scenes and will do so up until the very last day to make sure things run smoothly. I've been to a few other conventions before and this is one of the best organized I've been to. Plus, the "family" atmosphere here is awesome. As long as Gatecon continues to hold these events, I'll do everything I can to make sure to attend. :)

Anyone interested in getting a group together for the Express tour (3.5 hrs) for Wednesday the 14th or Thursday the 15th? We'd need at least 20 people to get the $40 rate per person.

I'm a tentative yes - afternoon would be better as il prob be back at work then x

Sweet. Glad to have you with us. :)

I actually called the winery company the other day and asked if we get a smaller group (less than the 20) together, would they maybe be able to fill the remaining spots. Sadly, they said no. So unless we get 17 more people interested in going in the next few months, this is one tour that probably won't happen.

But lets think positive, right?

29
Depending on the ticket draw price, I may try for a chance for the last spot. Would be pretty darn cool for an intimate pic outside of the normal convention backdrops.

I second the idea of one out on the back deck of Jack's cabin! Of course, with the homeowners permission. ;)

Thanks Richard for enquiring about a discount! Every bit counts. ;)

Also, I wanted to add, there is a FB group of us going to Capilano on Tuesday, September 13th if anyone is interested. We were going to meet at Canada Place by the Digital Orca around 10am and then head out to the street to take the free shuttle to the park.

Would be a fun way to extend the fun surrounded my crazies of like mind. Everyone is welcome! :D
