Calgary Expo

[sid]

So, if you haven't heard, Richard Dean Anderson and Michael Shanks are both appearing at next month's Calgary Expo, April 26-28. RDA was just announced Thursday.

There's a photo op with the two of them on Saturday the 27th.

And now this has been announced, for later that day:

Stargate with Richard Dean Anderson and Michael Shanks

Room: Corral - Main Events Room
Start: 4:00PM
End: 4:45PM

For ten years they took us to distant worlds and also fought aliens on the home front as Colonel Jack O'Neill and Doctor Daniel Jackson. Now, the stars of Stargate SG-1 are here to speak of their time on the fan favorite sci-fi series!

Why don't I have a passport? It's only a 24-hour drive away!

And why can't you get yourself a passport? Would it take too long? Would it be too expensive?
This is an opportunity you should not miss. It may be a once-in-a-lifetime.

[sid]

I knoooooow! I might be able to secure a passport in time. Well, I definitely can if I pay an extra fee. My cheap nature rebels at that thought, lol.

But with this new information, I'm telling myself there has to be a way, don't blow the chance for this!

I'm sure you would do whatever it took for RC and PB! :-)

[esteven]

I know, I know...this once, cheap nature be damned. I will cross all fingers...and toes if I have to, that you will not blow that chance.

Oh yes! And it very nearly broke my heart when I could not do it for WS and LN, but was thrilled when I saw Adrian Paul and Peter Wingfield. OMG

[sid]

LN = Lord Nelson? :-D

I saw Adrian and Peter as well! And got Peter's autograph.

Aren't they the cutest together?

So, will you go for your passport?

As usual...wuz me

I'm investigating what needs to be done. I think I would have to pay an extra fee plus overnight shipping to be certain of receiving it in time. Otherwise it normally takes 4-7 weeks. Expedited is 2-3 weeks.

Re: anon

[esteven]

If there is any way to go for this, then do! You would regret the missed opportunity all your life. Would you be in need of money?

Re: anon

[sid]

I can come up with the money. Better start looking at flights.

[sid]

*salutes* Yes, ma'am.

Looks like I should be able to get a flight for well under $600. I have a friend who's a travel agent. I guess I'll be calling her this weekend!

Pray do, there is not a moment to lose!

[discodiva76]

I hope you can go....I've just arrived home to this and am crying so hard it hurts....

[sid]

RDA gets the blame for not making up his mind months ago. *shakes fist in the general direction of California*

We'll just hope that they have such a good time that they decide to do it again soon!

[jdjunkie]

Oooooh. Gogogogo!

*plays patriotic-type music* Your fandom needs you! *ends patriotic-style music*

(Also, you'll have the spiffiest of times which you'll remember forever, baby!)

*mwah*

[sid]

I need to make it happen. *girds loins*

[ivorygates]

GO GO GO GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[sid]

I'm having difficulty understanding what it is you want me to do...

:-D

*snort*

[archersangel]

i hope people post a lot of videos on youtube of this.

i suppose twitter updates from both of them is too much to hope for.

[sid]

Michael will probably do some tweeting, but I doubt it will be very informative. I think all he did in August was tweet the other actors he went out drinking with!

[jdjunkie]

I'm thinking we might get a twitpic of the two of them from Michael. He did one of him and Amanda when they met up not too long ago.

If I keep everything crossed for much longer, I'm going to need serious physio.

So how close is Nell to Calgary?

[sid]

Edmonton's about 3 hours away.

[magnavox-23.livejournal.com]

GOGOGO!!! Also, film it for the rest of us poor buggers. :P

[sid]

I'm looking at flights and passports and hotels... I don't think I'm going to sleep tonight!

[magnavox-23.livejournal.com]

EEEEEE! I was supposed to be at the RDA one today in Adelaide (never been to a con outside my own city before), but it's exam week here and I decided not to risk it. Stupid responsibility. :/ :P

[sid]

Awwwww. That's a shame. :-(

[magnavox-23.livejournal.com]

Yeah, one day though, eh?

[sid]

Along that line of thought, I just looked back to last August, when I posted about having a Shanks/Flanigan photo op coming up in 45 minutes, and found these two conversations:

You know what really pissing me off about this ?? my scheduled vacation is a week BEFORE this.. and I can't change it, and my previous plan for this vacation is already cancelled due to my friend unavailability..,, so I will have a week of vacation where I will do nothing but stay at home.. and had I known about this a month ago, most likely I can go there... ARGH!!!.. *hates*

[sid]

RDA has a lot to answer for. *nods* I'll be sure to tell him, "No more last minute plans!"

Assuming I make it there.
