Well, Ben is going to the Creation Stargate Chicago con. Teryl does them fairly often, but I haven't seen her listed on any of them yet. It appears Alexis Cruz and Kavan Smith are doing a couple each. I haven't met Major Lorne. (And I'm sad Adam Baldwin pulled out of ShoreLeave, but we do get Jewel Staite instead...which pleases me.) I see Rachel Luttrell's scheduled for Cherry Hill. I haven't seen her in person (not counting ComicCon where you rarely get to see them face-to-face) since she subbed for Amanda in NJ 2004.
Alas, I fear Creation Cons are not in Amanda's future. She looked so unhappy when she left the 2004 Chicago con. (I saw her leave the autograph area, but someone else I know had an even more inside look and said the same thing without my offering my opinion.) (She *might* have gone to the Vancouver ones? Not sure.) I could be wrong, though, and she could totally surprise me - in order to promote SG:Continuum and/or Sanctuary. Edith and I had hoped she would do ShoreLeave again this year, but we get David & Kate Hewlett, which is cool. I've only seen him at ComicCon and haven't seen her at all (she was announced for NJ after I had already bought the tickets for BB at Farscape '06).
A lot of the same folks who attend NJ attend ShoreLeave (Helena, Tricia, Jo, Janet and Tyler Fox) - well, at least they *have* in the past. Whether it was only because Amanda and Carmen were there, I don't know. And ShoreLeave is so much less expensive than Creation, you get two autogs (one Sat/one Sun) from the 3 main guests, and the non-main guests are available for autogs (tho' you have to pay extra for them) so much more time - where you actually can stand there and *talk* with them without a nazi timing you. One disadvantage is multiple (concurrent) panels (not for the main guests, but two non-main ones might have their panels at the same time). But each guest speaks TWICE also. One disadvantage is no reserved seating; another is no online registration, so people on the east coast have an advantage over west coast peeps for getting the lowest numbers unless you pay to overnight the form. (Not sure they even allow that!)
Oh, and another thing about BB & DB - autogs NOT included in the gold pass or preferred...and $70 each (+ $70 each for photo ops).
