    Hey hey...

    We haven't had Toronto Trek yet, but it might be time to start thinking SFX!..

    Here's recent news from them:

    Greetings. Tickets are now on sale through Ticket Express, a service on our web site and Ticketmaster.ca. Sales have been brisk and we would like to remind you that the Elijah Wood and James Marsters special event tickets are very limited, so if you know you would like to go, please purchase in Advance as these events may sell out. Speaking of sellouts, the Strathcona Hotel is completely full for Expo weekend. We have sold a record number of hotel rooms this year, so again, if you need one, please book with the Intercontinental Hotel ASAP.
    Reservations call (800) 422-7969 and mention the Canadian National Expo for discounted rate. Thank you.

    We have our tickets and hotel already and will be attending with at least 4 others from Rochester. We've gone to every CNSFX since 1999 and wouldn't miss it!

    My days have been booked so more then likely I will be there. However I told my work that since I had to take time off earlier in the month as well that I will be available to work IF they need me, so there is a chance that I can't. I would put money on it that I will be there. Hope to see you all there.

    God I miss TO

    I guess i'm getting the deluxe pass as i want to do the masquerade again...i'd love to see the Elijah Wood event because i've heard his stories about life on the LOTR set are really amazing but i may just have to settle for the autograph sessions...are they separate? i just don't have the money to buy my Elijah tickets in advance as i'm looking for a new job atm

    I shall be there, but I will be getting the Anime Pass as I'm a slut to those little cartoons.

    now the I&I to the Stars does that include Mr. Wood, and Mr. Marsters? Or is it a seperate dealy like Patrick Stewart from last year?

    After 2 solid months I finally have my computer fixed :yay::D

    Can you buy tickets at the door, or only in advance from ticketmasters, etc.?
    I think I might want to show up for this. And does anyone know if there are vendor booths, how much for one, and/or who I would contact in regards to this....Do I just contact the convention centre?

    All that info is on the site... Vendor booths are pricey... but if you got one... I'd be willing to stop by in costume for a while... and I'm sure others would as well...

    If you still want it.. I can dig up that vender info for you... or someone would... for sure...

    Thanks.... I don't know if I'm gonna bother with the vedor booth, I'll have to look into how pricey "pricey" is...but since I had to miss T-Trek which I was really excited to go to, and now since I saw the pics from T-Trek, it looked like soo much fun, that I think I will for sure make SFX my very first convention. I am no longer afraid, lol. Cheers, and hope to meet some of you soon.


    Holy Smokes! Frodo, Tuvok, Lois Lane (Margot Kidder), and Deanna Troy are gonna be there! TUVOK is the freaking best darn Vulcan ever! And if there is any way to get Martina Sirtis to say in her famous space-greek voice(I'm not insulting greeks, that's just the only way I can describe it), "Captain, I'm sensing a duality.", I'll be smiling for weeks....Oh, the dualities, lol. I will definitely be there!

    Yeah, space was pricey. I booked artist alley, and it was still just a little under $150.

    I laughed at the application for internet access. $395? heeheehee!

    Not sure which space I have yet! I'll post when I know :D

    Perhaps its different for artists coming to show there work as opposed to the vendors that will be selling things and earning a profit? I have no idea, but it would make sense to me :)

    Does anyone know if there lockers in the building that can be rented out? I will be coming on the Saturday with a pretty huge and sometimes difficult to move in Costume, so I really don't want to be dragging everything else I will be brining with me around the con.

    Well, artist alley is a different animal. It's for artists to sell/show off their wares. Retailers pay the big bucks.

    I can't remember which retailer form I filled out to get that info, but it was in like April or may. It may have been teh same form as retailer/small press or something.

    Artists get a lil table with 2 badges. I'm sharing my table with another artist friend of mine :)

    Bayley, i think your best bet is finding some people who are getting a hotel room and stashing the costume there as i think the nearest lockers are union station and bay street terminal...and those are some questionable security there and you never know WHAT has been in the locker before hand...
