Vancouver Creation Con Report 1/4

Before I begin what has turned out to be a bit of an epic, I would like to add a disclaimer: All of the pictures posted are my own, and every gallery I have linked to are pictures that I have taken personally at the convention. If you do take any for your own personal use, please do not post them on other websites without my permission - the only exception here is Gateworld and I ask that you credit me as the photographer. Also, please do not remove the watermark. If you use them for artwork, I do expect credit even if it is simply in a resources post. I don't want to take away from anyone's enjoyment of the convention pictures, but it only takes a second to give someone credit. Ok, that's it for the tough love, and on with the show!

Part One

Conventions are funny things.

They bring together people from all walks of life. Different jobs, different countries, different shapes and sizes, different social skills. The latter can be a curse - especially at a convention the size of Creation's, but sometimes I think the blessings can outweigh the stupidity of the lunatic fringe... they have to, or why else would we continue to go to them?

Vancouver Creation Con Report 2/4

Part Two

Friday April 3rd

On Friday, the con really kicked into gear. With panels from David Nkyl, Dan Shea, Connor Trinneer, and Teryl Rothery, we were kept incredibly busy. My memory of these panels is hazy at best, I was still quite overwhelmed from the previous days venture. I swear I make up for it later on!

Vancouver Creation Con Report 3/4

Part Three

Saturday April 4th

Saturday morning rolled on and we headed out for Bridge Studios. We got to see a re-dressed Stargate and take our pictures with it on the ramp. We also saw the USS George Hammond (had my picture taken next to the plaque as well as in Sam's chair), and we toured Atlantis (which is beautiful). I took enough pictures to fill an album, unfortunately due to the waver we signed, we cannot post them online. However if you run into me at another con, feel free to ask if you can see my con book because a lot of them will be in there!

On to the days talks and here's where things get more detailed as I remembered to write things down afterwards and my memory was functioning as its meant to.

Vancouver Creation Con Report 4/4

Part Four

Sunday April 5th

The last day dawned. I clearly remember rejecting the reality of the alarm going off. Unacceptable creature. I know I spent today running around on pure adrenalin. By the time we went to dinner much later that evening, I was slightly shaky. A banana and granola bar at breakfast - and my faithful diet coke - was all that had sustained me up until then. This is what happens when you still have 4 panels to sit through (as N John Smith plus Brad Wright and Rob Cooper did talks - I recommend you go HERE for some good scoop on the latter's panel) and 2 more photo ops to get done... a break was non optional.
