Why? Because of the guests or because of how the con is run? Don't you guys get good guests at Creation cons (I know there are issues with how Creation run things)?
Mind you, there isn't a SGA-specific con in the US is there? They all seem to be general Stargate cons with a mix of guests from both shows?
because judging from what I've seen, their dealers area is MUCH better than Creations, yes, they do get a very good selection of actors, and I dare say the cost is probably less. And usually they get maybe one SGA actor at an SG1 con, and Creation just has Creation merchandise at those cons. And everybody talks about actually getting time to talk to the actors, which doesn't really happen all that much at Creations unless you pay for the big bucks parts.
Don't know about the dealers.. I've only been to one Wolf con and I can't say I was hugely impressed with the dealers there. There was one small room and I remember being narked that the t-shirt stall (which had probably 100 t-shirts of varying designs from every show/movie/anime/fandom thing you could imagine) had ONE SGA t-shirt design (at an SGA specific con!), of which he had sold out of everything but the small size. >( The dealers are at least independent dealers though...
Pegasus cons do seem to get a great selection of actors so far and, from what I hear, they are definitely cheaper than Creation cons which seem to cost 100s of $! The Pegasus cons cost about $180 for a weekend ticket and that price includes a free autograph from every guest and, if you buy in the first 300 tickets, the meet n greet event

Fab isn't it? I was already looking forward to the con cos P2 was so great but still the guests are an important factor and I was getting a little concerned at having heard nothing for so long.
Ohhh, that is looking good! It'd be fantastic if David Nykl gets on that line-up too. I had hoped Joe might've made it but I'm okay if he doesn't. I really hope Paul McGillion stays on the list as I think he's the guest I'm most looking forward to seeing though David N is right up there.
It sure is looking fab, isn't it? I've met David twice now and he's just such a sweetie and sooo funny! He's got a really silly sense of humour. :D
I was annoyed at first that they weren't even asking Joe (I would understand if they asked and he said no or they simply said they couldn't afford him but the story we were hearing was they weren't asking cos they thought there wouldn't be enough demand!) but as long as I know there will be some good guests I can live without Joe... this time! :lol:
I probably won't go to another one, least not anytime soon. This is costing a ton of money and it's just for me so I've got guilt over that. My hubby has bought an expensive collector WWII rifle though and he has another he wants to buy and it almost totals the same so that's helping.
I would've liked to meet Joe F. but I didn't decide to go for that reason. I wanted to meet you guys and just have a blast and the guest list, well they've all been known to be just that so great friends, great guests, it'll be awesome!
You're so right - it's gonna be great fun! You can't base your enjoyment of a con on who the guests are.. obviously great guests makes it all the better but people who are only wanting to go if/cos a certain guest will be there are gonna wind up disappointed. Half the fun is meeting other fans, cos they're the people you'll spend most of the weekend with, not the guests! :D
It's gonna be a scream and the great guests are the icing on the cake! :D
