This Is Not A Democracy

Holy shit.

I'm online at the hotel. Bloody expensive!

Guess who's here! CHUCK CAMPBELL! He's a lovely little dude. We met him last night and he's really into the idea of the dances. He got mobbed in the foyer, yesterday and disappeared. This is his first con, and I don't think he counted on being so popular.

The Hewlett made Julie freak out, talking about spiders, and then started being adorably obnoxious and telling worse ones ("I'm loving this!" *points wildly at her as she cowers* "So, right..." *tells spider horror story*) and David Nykl remembered me from SG-10. That was pretty funny.

We started this morning with Dan Payne's talk - he's a lot of fun, and so is Ryan Robbins. They're apparently really good friends in real life (and Aaron Douglas, too - he's here again. He's supposed to be MCing, but I've not seen him MC since the party last night). They're doing a new show! It's called Sanctuary, I think - they're all going to be in it, so is Chuck. And the best bit? They've told us PAUL MCGILLION IS TOO! I'm so happy! This show is like a Stargate retirement home.

Excited. So very excited. I have something I can turn to now Atlantis sucks more balls than a Bankok ladyboy.

*prays for Joe and Boyan to get roles*

Erin Chambers is a bit too girly for me to like a lot. I mean - she's nice, but in the really American, "OH MY GOD - YEAH! THAT'S SO COOL!!" way. Bleh. Does look a whole lot like Jami Gertz, though. Seriously.

Brian, the organiser, is bein a cunt, mind. He's banned the people who sell photos from selling pictures of the people they have here. This means hardly anyone has anything they can get signed. It also scuppers my plans to get pictures autographed and auction them for Lakota-Aid. Instead I'm getting people to autograph a picture of the City. Hopefully it will get more than a single pic of the actors would because of the extra autographs. Frankly, they're ripping us off. We get a free autograph from everyone with our ticket, and yet they won't let us buy things to sign. They have pictures on sale from Wolf, but those are £10 each, because you get an autograph with the cost of one. How mean is that? I mean - if you won't let us provide our own, provide them for us, for fuck's sake!

The fact is, I will NEVER COME TO A WOLF CONVENTION AGAIN and I urge the rest of you to boycott them, too. They'll only rip you off.

I got a novel signed by the writers, though (writers as in books, not writers as in show. Martin Gero had better hope we are never within arm's reach, as it will endager his health) but I'm going to keep those. They have my name on, anyway.

We're now off to see Ivy Isenberg, who has promised us secrets. O_o

Interesting. Update tonight.

NANOO NANOO!

New t-shirt!

I just bought it from the Pegasus 2 Spreadshirt Shop created by neth_dugan.

It is cute and awesome and combines the names of my two favourite characters (I've been referring to them jointly as 'Stackham' for years, now - YEARS?! Have I really been into this years?!). I have tags for my Marpat shirt with 'STACKHAM' on them. Those shall be attached before I go.

I've decided that my signed items from Pegasus 2 are going to be auctioned on eBay and the proceeds will go to the Pine Ridge funds. I'm going to buy pictures with the guys which will be signed anyway, and the ones from past cons are just sitting in a folder anyway. And it will help raise awareness. I'm going to take little print-outs for the guests and do my best to explain the situation as I can in 30 seconds.

Who knows? It might strike a chord with someone... To have someone in a cult-like fandom of this nature championing something would be awesome.

I might also see about holding a screening of the documentary - possibly at Treadwell's if I can work out a way to get a projector or TV down there. We'll see...
