The Bungalow

Sort of...

It was about the Chicago Con and those auction things they're doing for some of the guests. Some of us "regulars" were deemed worthy of getting raffle tickets for a special drawing for the 10th spot, since they're auctioning 9. I don't everyone that was there, but erin_anderson, lovellama, eviljr and discodiva76 were all there. Well, Erin wasn't there but her tickets were so I dumped them all in the Michael bucket for you. :-D And they had one for Christian. Which, well, he's not going to be at any conventions, so that was weird. But I put some of mine in there, obviously. :-D Sadly, I woke up before any of the drawings were done, so I don't know who won. :-( But that would have been awesome.

I sent Creation off my Jared/Jensen BFF video. So, anyone going will have to let me know if they play it! *fingers crossed*

...to Creation.

I'm biting the bullet and sending them two of my videos - All American Girl and Time After Time. Deadline for the "contest" entries for Burbank is November 1st. I think it should get to them by then. So, if any of you are going to the Burbank Con, you'll have to let me know if they show either of them at what the audience reaction is.... *is nervous*

I will try to explain the situation as much as I can without going into too many specifics. Hopefully, y'all will catch on.

A beloved member of the SG-69 volunteer security group for Creation Cons has recently been posting on Gateworld and having lots of fun as we generally do. On one of the threads (a thunk thread), there was some joking going on with another member about an item donated by an actor that was up for auction on eBay and how much "fun" they could have if they obtained said item. While, this volunteer was serious in her bidding, I'm sure she was slightly exaggerating her fan-girl response to it, as we all do from time to time to have a little fun.

Well, it seems there is a Creation person who has been lurking on Gateworld. They seemed to take offense to the action of this person and told her that if she didn't "cool it" she would be "fired."

Excuse me? What the hell makes them think they can do this? If it weren't for us "fan girls" they wouldn't have a job. These people are volunteers. What gives them the right to dictate how a person acts in their free time. They are not paid by Creation, they do not get any perks from Creation, they have no tie to Creation at all EXCEPT FOR PROVIDING A FREE SERVICE. Understandably, this person is very upset by this and has stopped posting on Gateworld. This is completely unacceptable. We cannot allow Creation to push around people like this.

Here is what we need to do: Everyone needs to e-mail Creation as often as they can requesting Cliff Simon to be a guest at the Vancouver and Burbank conventions. Cliff is also aware of this situation as he is very fond of this volunteer and assures us that he will make as part of his demands that this person be his personal "guard" for the convention and only her. Cliff is naturally very upset about how Creation appears to be treating the volunteers that give up their free time to work for them. If enough pressure is put on them, eventually they will have to give in and know that they can't push the fans around any more.

We all know how Creation runs and what greedy, money-grubbing dipshits they are. They cannot do this and we cannot allow them to get away with this. Please spread this word to as many fans as you can so we can let Creation know what we think of them and their scare-tactics. If these keeps up, we'll stop going to conventions and put them out of business.

Thank you for your support.

(PS - Please do not mention this persons name, if you know who I am talking about. We would hate for to feel any more embarrassed by what is happening. The main goal is to get Creation to stop being so gorram mean!)
