Teryl is going to be at the NY Con?!?

[hsapiens]

Just checked the con schedule, in hopes of figuring out how to squeeze in my non-fandom friends and noticed that:

- Michael Shanks has been removed from the guest list. Bummer. I do like to take pictures of the man. He's very pretty.

- TERYL ROTHERY HAS BEEN ADDED! I know, I know. It's impolite to shout but oh my god, I was just whining about how it seemed wrong to have a con without her and there she is!!! Oh joy! katiedammit, is there anything now you want me to get signed?

>>I know Creation faced some difficulties when they wildly expanded the Stargate con offerings but sometimes I wonder how they've survived as long as they have and not gotten savvier about the business.

Well for me, it's because in my next of the woods, they're the ONLY game in town. The closest cons to me (with the exception of Chiller Theatre which is a general free for all & a NYC con and ICON) are four-five hour drives. This con is close enough for me to drive each day.

And I only attended the first time because I was going to be in town to visit jalabert and we looked at the weekends I was choosing amongst and realized the con was one of them. :) Now I attend because Creation IS smart about seating. Fans are invested in returning to get good/better seats.

For all that I bitch about Creation and for as much as I hate the (usually) paltry guest offerings? I VASTLY prefer the seating arrangements and the access to ALL the guests to what I experienced at Gatecon. Gatecon had plenty of rude people snapping at me, wasted hours and hours of my time as I cooled my heels, offered excellent access to "2nd tier" actors and none to main cast. Well, not precisely true. I paid for the opportunity to have lunch with Chris Judge (and 5 other fans). But if you weren't a lucky fan with deep pockets, you had no access at all.

In the end, I'd rather pay for a sure thing that doesn't have me sitting on my butt in a hall for hours every day. But it seems like there is a middle ground between the two shows.
