The Guide to Pop Conventions
Lets take a trip through the Stargate to Sydney Australia!
Hello Con Maniacs,
This very weekend down under is the Gate To The Sanctuary event. It is happening in my home town and old haunt. Parramatta in NSW. The Sebel Parramatta, 350 Church Street Parramatta.
As you can see from the banner above they have a great lineup. The lovely Amanda Tapping from both Stargate and Sanctuary. Personally I think she has really been able to shine on Sanctuary. On Stargate she was underused.
Amanda Tapping
Next up is the great Carmen Argenziano who has appeared in over 200 films and television series and has worked with some of the biggest names in Hollywood. But of course for our purposes he was on Stargate as Jacob Carter / Selmak.

Now we have something special for the lovely ladies out there and I am sure some guys too. The very handsome Ryan Robbinswho is best know now for his roles in Sanctuary as Henry Foss and Caprica as Diego. Below as a treat we have a great shirtless shot from a charity event for (http://www.sanctuaryforkids.org).

In addition to this is Chuck Campbell who is known for Stargate Atlantis.
To all my fellow Aussies, I would love to hear from you how the event went and what you thought of everyone. You can reach me at Magid@raybin.comAmanda is such a wonderful woman, I worked with her in 2006. I remember their was a soldier who was about to re-inlist into the Marines I think it was and he want Amanda to lead the ceremony. She was amazing and it was so touching. Everyone in the room including me was in tears. What a great memory.
I have several episodes of Sanctuary on my DVR so I think I am going to go and have a marathon…Enjoy
