Here is the content of a release from the Convention organizers in St. John's passed along to me by Darren Hann, my contact, and the chief organizer:
"Due to reasons beyond our control, the convention planned for April 16, 2005, called SciFi St. John's, to be held at the Holiday Inn in St. John's, Newfoundland, has been re-scheduled to September 17th, 2005, with all the same events and activities to take place.

Didn't all quite fit the one line , did it ?

The link to GATECON is :

www.gatecon.com/home.asp

I hope I got those correctly. Any, if anyone is interested in going to either one... the St. John's con will be inexpensive to attend, and GATECON is offering a 10% discount on their admission fee, but only if you use the code #BD2005.....
Hey, send me a message (or PM) in here, or drop a line at

if you are interested in getting together with Ellen and me in beautiful Vancouver.
Well the buggers got the next winter olympics, didn't they .....
I can assure you, Vancouver is amazingly full of folks who are more like Stan and 790 and Kai and Zev than we could ever have written !!!

And !!!.... a huge thanks to those who have already planned to be in Vancouver...we will party... it is a party city, believe me... I lived in Kitsalano (just off the beach) in party heaven for 9 months.... and , baby, you ain't seen nothing till you seen the West End and Yaletown !!!!! At night !! YUUUMMMM !! Something for every taste, and food that is as good as anything you have ever tasted....and with all that, people are soooo laid back.. if they were any more laid back, they'd be in a coma.

(SAFETY HINT) if some one suggests going to East Vancouver, and they don't mention chinese food...DO NOT GO... Some Van East is the poorest and most crime ridden, and most drug infested area in North America. Luckily ( or sadly) it is an island in a sea of beauty. The rest of Vancouver is something that you will never forget and that you will carry with you with a wish to return. Simply beautiful !

I can't wait to visit Vancouver, not just for the convention either. I've heard many good things about the city, and I don't think 5 days is going to be enough time to see the sights and take in GateCon too.

BTW, I thought the "Gate" in GateCon was a reference to Stargate SG-1. Shows how much I know...

Brian, thanks for the links.

Hopefully I'll be able to get to the St John's con.

JKD, take lots of photos in Vancouver for those of us who can't be there!

Ooopss !! Got the code for the 10% discount for Gatecon slightly wrong. The code actually is #BD05 - NOT #BD2005, as I wrote.

Sorry
Brian

Woohoo! Gotta start savin' my pennies.

I might have to think about it, Brian. Going to GateCon I mean.
