SGA Convention Report II

[tielan]

Not mine: dzurlady's.

She went to the corresponding Friends of Science Fiction convention in Melbourne - Rachel Luttrell, David Nykl, Tony Amendola, and her report is here.

Apparently we're a bloodthirsty (or concerned) lot about who's gonna cark it next season.

...and I might have booked a spot in the February convention featuring Joe Flanigan in Sydney. Possibly. *shifty look*

*sigh* Hey, I'm tired of spending money in the thousands to meet you folks. I'd rather spend tens, but at least hundreds is manageable.

I went to the first half dozen or so BOBW ever ran, when they were small and reasonably priced. Now...I'm not going to pay $250 just for the chance of autographs. The prices are totally overblown and ridiculous.

Just before going to lunch, you were waiting with a group including Inge and a few others, including I think mcalex22 and derry667 near the escalators/toilet. I was with my sister.

Yeah, the price is pretty steep...but better than a $3000 RTW ticket which is what I usually pay to see fandom friends. And after a couple of cons, then you can arrange to meet the people without the cons.

Were we actually introduced at FSF? I'm generally pretty bad with names, although if I see your face, I'm likely to remember you. :)

Sorry. :-/

Heh. I'm not sure if we were "formally introduced". I only put it together after reading your con report and recognising you asking the questions. I asked Tony the question about favourite guest role which led him into talking about West Wing and John Spencer.

Well, that makes BOBW a bargain ;)

Okay. You were probably on the other side of the room, then. I'll probably recognise your face, though.

I dunno. We'll see how it goes. I don't think I've heard back from the organisers yet, so I don't know if I've got a place.
