Creation's SG con in Burbank

[tenaya]

I only went on Sunday. They ran two cons at once, Stargate with Firefly, separate admission fees and schedules. Both rooms seated about 400 and they were both filled, with SRO along the sides and back.

Apparently there will be a SG con in the LA area next year; it will share space with Farscape. November 6-8 at the LAX Marriott.

About SG Universe, they are building sets and casting at the moment. The sets are the most expensive yet to date for Bridge (duh.) Adam said the show would kick off with a 2 hour movie on TV and then continue with the 1 hour eps on SciFi during summer. I can't help but wonder how they will finish the effects so fast, don't those usually take months? Also, they would be visits from the cast members of the other two SG shows.

Movies? Two SG1 and one SGA films are planned. The actors haven't been contacted yet.

Rachel was sweet and beautiful and totally in love with her son. She said her son laughed at her Wraith make up and she has personal photos of her breast feeding her baby while acting all Wraithy.

Nothing was mentioned about new projects for her or Jason. David filmed an audition in the hotel bathroom the night before for a Disney film. Not quite sure why the bathroom.... He also talked about Starcrossed but really, nothing new on that front.

I was sitting waaaay in the back and couldn't really get a good look at Jason's face. The stitches aren't too noticeable so hopefully he's a good healer. Poor guy. He said he thought he'd lose his eye. Now he wonders if the scars will make him audition for a different type of character. He might go back to Hawaii as the ratio for actors to jobs is more in his favor there. He played a bit of blues on his guitar and auctioned it off for $500. He plays well. I taped it so I might put it up on youtube. People are obviously taping at Creation and no one was stopping them this year. Just a year ago I was tapped on the shoulder and told to stop.

David started off with a lot of Baz stories. He took his son down to the pool and he said, that one year olds have no buoyancy at all; the kid went straight to the bottom. After he retrieve him, pushed him around the pool for a bit and took him out and dried him off. He looked away for a second and the fell and split his lip. Blood was everywhere. He swished the blood off in the pool (really? David!!!) and told the kid what did he have to cry about? People pay lots of money to get lips like that. David told many very funny stories. He said he got a new haircut. He thought it was going to be Daniel Craig but it was more of a Forrest Gump look.

The best story was told by Jason. They had spent a long hard day at Norco and he was catching a ride in Joe's big truck. Suddenly, they saw David in his little Echo. They pulled up and Jason mooned David. David said he couldn't figure out what he was looking at a first, a dog or what? Guys....

Anyway, I paid $25 for a ticket and had a great three hours. I am glad that Creation will return next year. I briefly chatted to astrumporta and waved at margec01 who disappeared amazingly fast as I discovered when I followed her out of the auditorium. Teleportation??

I'm fighting a cold and have to go to work. If no one as posted tape by Thursday I'll put something up.

Yay! Sounds like you had a good time. Thanks for the report. :)

You're welcome. :)

Is that two SG-1 movies including the remake of CotG? Or two new ones?

*perks*

Thanks for the report!

Hope you feel better. *sends Daniel with teddy to fight cold germs*

He didn't mention the remake. Good catch. I was wondering why SG1 was suddenly the Most Loved Child and had two films to SGA's one. BINGO! That's my guess anyway. Maybe I'm wrong....

Cold is hanging in there. I called off work tonight. There's this really cute guy with a teddy bear asking for me at the front door. Thanks!!

David drives an Echo? LOL, so do I. Love my ugly little car.

And it's true, toddlers have no buoyancy at all. My sis dropped Griffin while in the pool in Australia last week, and he sank like a stone. Not happy about it, either!

[tenaya.livejournal.com]

I think that's what he said. I didn't take notes but I'm fairly sure.

That's tragic about how fast toddlers sink. Who wasn't happy about the dunking? You, sis or Griffin?? Thank heaven they are so small and easy to fish out. Makes you wonder how the human race survived since most settlements were near a water source and kids move so fast....

Griffin was a bit miffed about being dunked. Wouldn't go near the pool again until our last day, when he finally agreed to let me hold him while I stood in the water. I do wonder if our ancestors were a bit more instinctive around nature than we are today. Otherwise, as you say, we'd be a lot scarer than we are!

Sorry you're sick! :-(

I'm off to Points North, a healthier mum and deep fried turkey manana.

Fantastic. This Thanksgiving is something to be thankful for. Enjoy your family!

{{HUG}} Thanks :-)

I couldn't believe that I didn't see you again! I bet when you followed me (and I didn't see you) I was headed to the restroom. I hung around the main room most of the day--listened to the same crap from Adam about SGU that you did.

I tried to shut up and not make rude comments about SGU, but when Adam said that actors from both earlier series were planned to be on SGU, I couldn't help it. "No they're not." Then he repeated that YRS they were--obviously reading from notes or a press release. I figure MGM is just lying to him, in hopes that will shut us up.

Again, I'm sorry I didn't get to see you to chat. I'll be doing a con report, but probably not until Wednesday.

[tenaya.livejournal.com]

It was when Adam was talking about SGU that you left. When you passed my row, I got up and followed you out and PRESTO!! You can really move!

So, they won't have any of the actors from SG1 and SGA on the show? What have you heard?

Looking forward to the report.

So, they won't have any of the actors from SG1 and SGA on the show?

I think this MAY have been said originally, since the idea was they're to be totally isolated. Perhaps they're backtracking now, if they think we need something to make us watch their new creation. However, I've talked to many SG-1 fans who watched the first part of Rising and then no more SGA (until Pegasus Project). It would be the same here. But, really, this was the first semi-official thing I'd heard that some of the earlier actors MIGHT be on SGU.

I'm sorry I didn't realize you came after me. I WAS headed to the john--but the one in my hotel room.
