I'm looking forward to this con, too!
Vancouver is a wonderful city.
I've been there 3 times now. 2008, 2010 and 2014. I usually try to combine conventions with vacations. And I'm definitely trying again this time.
The fact that Amanda and Michael are announced just reminds me of the hilarious trio panel at Fedcon 2014. I hope Gatecon will be just as funny.
I found my list of "things to do in Vancouver" from 2010. There are eight things that were not crossed off (one was a drive up to Whistler). I'm thinking about going up there on the 3rd or the 4th. Plotting.....
Hello everybody,
it's nice that a lot can travel to the event Homecoming.I wish you much fun....
For me it is unfortunately not possible. I am managing a day care for children between 4 and 13 years. After the summer holidays in August, the new school year starts, we have many new children.
It has always been a dream of mine to Canada, Vancouver but not every dream can come true.
I hope I have the chance, to visiting Vancouver later

I was remembering another funny incident from the very first Gatecon in 2000. Since it was a gathering of fans who had mostly met online beforehand, there were a number of activities designed for fans to get to know each other in person once they arrived. One of the fans, who used the ID "Sekh" after the Egyptian goddess, decided she wanted to throw a party at a restaurant downtown. Many fans signed up to go to her party, but the story goes that one fan arrived at the restaurant and asked how to find "Sekh's Party." Now, think about how that sounds when you say it out loud. The bewildered employee asked, "You want to find WHAT kind of a party??"

This reminds me of a commercial we had on tv about a certain non-alcoholic beverage and Uma Thurman (the heavenly body according to Jack):"you mean...right?"
