All of mine were on the Saturday (or supposed to be, I apparently can\u2019t tell the time and missed one, so got it Sunday instead!). My first one was with the absolutely lovely <a title=\"Click to visit and follow Lexa Doig on Twitter!\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/LexaShmexa\" target=\"_blank\">Lexa Doig<\/a>. She was taking the time to speak to everyone before the photos and finding out names, where people were<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"> <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"> from etc. Just a really friendly lady, and far more awake than everyone else at 9am!! And just a note on how pretty she is in person as well, and her hair was shiny enough to rival mine according to the crew. Completely random, and a \u201cyou had to be there moment\u201d I think, but amusing all the same.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Next I headed to get a few autographs while I had a break. Poor Kavan seemed a bit jetlagged because he asked me about the umlauts in my name but I\u2019m not entirely sure he understood! Tony asked the same thing, so I think they probably think I\u2019m German now&#8230;it\u2019s a reason to actually brush up on my German at least! And David just wanted there to be a photo of him smiling from Atlantis because all the stills he\u2019s ever seen or signed have been serious poses! Bless.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">I then headed back for my photo with Andee, and you don\u2019t realise how tall she is until you\u2019re dwarfed! And to make matters worse for little old me, she was wearing heels. The solution: walk u<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">p and say \u201cYou do realise you\u2019re going to make me look really small.\u201d And be met by the enthusiastic response of \u201cI\u2019ll crouch\u201d and Andee jumping down. Highlight of my photos, for sure. I had a quick turnaround after that for my photo with Sarah. The poor photographer, honestly. She was so funny and just kept babbling away talking to people whilst posing that I think the photographer had to take quite a few shots of each person because she\u2019d start talking again just as he took a photo!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">The photo with David was next and the one thing I remember is the whole hair palaver. The photographer pointed out that my hair was a bit windswept at that point (which was lovely of him by the way, because I was able to sort it out at least!) and it prompted David to look at the photographer as though to ask \u201cWhat about mine?\u201d and start playing with his own hair. It\u2019s funny though, how he was smiling with teeth during that debacle but he pulls a serious face for the actual photos! Ah well. I still like the photo! Then was the photo with Kavan, and man, does he pull you right in for it. Not that I\u2019m complaining at all!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">At that point, I missed my photo with Tony because<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"> I went for lunch and lost track of time. Whoops! I did however learn to tell the time and make it to the first talk on time!

[She] loves putting words in his mouth!\u201d And talking of Michael Shanks&#8230;the main story seemed to focus round the Shanks\u2019 trouble with bears and racoons. Apparently they laid a new lawn but while waiting for it to \u2018set\u2019; it kept getting torn up by racoons in the middle of the night. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">They tried everything to keep the racoons away, including camping out all night to try and catch them, and Michael using a BB gun which alas, apparently had no effect on the racoons as they looked at where the gun had hit them, looked back at Michael and carried on! After that, Michael and Lexa\u2019s brother wanted to get paint guns to aim at the racoons but Lexa was like \u201cHell no! You are not doing that!\u201d much to their disappointment. It ended in them covering the lawn in mesh netting so the racoons couldn\u2019t even get to it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Tony chimed in with how<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"> <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"> he knows he\u2019s been away from home on a job too long because when he gets back, his wife always tells him there\u2019s a new possum nesting somewhere in the house and it, of course, has a name. The best one he could remember was when there was one behind the oven and his wife said \u201c&#8217;No, there&#8217;s something really wrong with this one.\u201d And it looked like something out of Alien because its stomach was moving but it was actually just carrying its young in its pouch. His reaction was \u201cWell what could I do?\u201d, so I presume he just let the possum family stay! And there was the time when he found a possum living under the mattress of his day-bed, and thinking \u201cWhy move out? It knew when it had it good!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/gairwyn\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-21087\" title=\"Chevron 7.5 Lexa Doig and Tony Amendola\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Lexa-Doig-and-Tony-Amendola-talk2-256x192.jpg\" alt=\"Chevron 7.5 Lexa Doig and Tony Amendola\" width=\"382\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Lexa-Doig-and-Tony-Amendola-talk2-256x192.jpg 256w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Lexa-Doig-and-Tony-Amendola-talk2.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 382px) 100vw, 382px\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Continuing the topic of animals, there\u2019s also a lot of bears (or as Lexa pointed out for us Brits, the Canadian plural is simply still \u2018bear\u2019) where the Shanks&#8217; live now, and Lexa wasn\u2019t used to just having a bear wander across your garden. So one day, she was in the kitchen washing up and she saw a bear just looking through the window (cue meerkat like impression of the bear). <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Long story short, she remembered Michael had told her bears didn\u2019t like noise so she started screaming and yelling \u201cblah, blah, blah\u201d. The bear apparently looked at her like \u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d at which point, she ran off yelling \u201cBear, bear, Michael, bear!\u201d He picked up pans to bang together, opened the door then shut it with \u201cHell no! I\u2019m not going out there!\u201d It was a Momma bear and her 3 cubs looking for shelter from the rain. A while later, the bear clan were traipsing across the garden and Lexa felt sorry for them and decided that \u201cMaybe we should just let them in.\u201d Michael looked at her like she was crazy, apparently.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Back on the actual topic of Stargate, someone asked Tony something about Bra\u2019tac, and I just remember the answer being that all he knew was he\u2019d got the role of a 133 year old alien, so he trundled to the set and to the make-up trailer ready to find out how much he\u2019d need in terms of prosthetics. The main make-up artist looked at him for quite a while and from all angl<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">es, and then declared that he didn\u2019t need anything doing. Bless! Tony reckons the art of flattery has long disappeared!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Also asked was their favourite thing about being part of Stargate. Lexa answered that it was definitely working with Beau Bridges because he\u2019s such a legend&#8230;and that she would have said working with Michael but they hardly had any scenes together. This apparently wasn\u2019t such a bad thing! Tony wasn\u2019t sure because he enjoyed the whole experience, but then decided that he liked Bra\u2019tac\u2019s fight scenes, especially when it involved knocking Richard Dean Anderson to the floor!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">I think someone also asked about how they filmed the symbiotes and Tony said it was an interesting experience because they had to hold a prop of the symbiote and wiggle it around when needed until the animation could be put in afterwards.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Slotted in next was an episode screening of \u201cTabula Rasa\u201d with commentary from David and Kavan who decided that the show was basically about tic tacs and Kavan kept chanting \u201ctic tacs\u201d every time Lorne or his team would take the tablets. They also reckoned that when Amanda [Tapping] and Joe [Flanigan] looked like they were always thinking intently, it was because they were making up their lines as they went along. There were also a lot of imitations of Jason [Momoa] grunting \u201cWhat?\u201d as it was supposedly the only thing he ever said! Kavan also pointed out that obviously his men were highly trained because they missed Carter, McKay and Zelenk<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/gairwyn\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-21088\" title=\"Chevron 7.5 Sarah Douglas\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Sarah-Douglas2.jpg\" alt=\"Chevron 7.5 Sarah Douglas\" width=\"373\" height=\"497\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Sarah-Douglas2.jpg 432w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Sarah-Douglas2-144x192.jpg 144w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Sarah-Douglas2-288x384.jpg 288w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 373px) 100vw, 373px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">a hiding in a small room, which would be impossible really because he never misses an attractive blonde!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">After that, there was Sarah\u2019s talk&#8230;well it was more of a Q&amp;A w<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"> <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">ith the<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"> <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"> MC and an insight <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"> <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">into he<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">r career. There was lots of talk about Superman and how she\u2019s only just come to terms with being known as \u201cthat girl from Superman\u201d. She also mentioned how she got the role in the first place after having 8 auditions cancelled and having to be persuaded to go to the 9<sup>th<\/sup> one. Which when she did, she was kept waiting at the studio and then proceeded to yell at the director for keeping her waiting because she \u201cwas a serious actress and should<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">n\u2019t be kept waiting!\u201d even though she was only early twenties! It worked in her favour though because they were apparently looking for a super bitchy character. As part of the audition stage for the role though, she had to try flying on the wires. Sarah said she turned up for that part all seriously dressed in a tutu and ballet pumps, and the girl who flew before her was in the skimpiest outfit&#8230;and apparently wearing no knickers as the crew on the ground pointed out because they were disappointed that Sarah was!!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">In terms of Stargate and playing Garshaw, it was a blast even though she didn\u2019t entirely understand the whole alien concept and took the inspiration for bowing her head from the nodding dogs you put in the back window of your car! She also added that she thinks Amanda [Tapping] is amazing for putting up with the boys because they were constantly making rude noises, telling jokes and playing pranks! You can just imagine it too.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">After a short break, it was time for the talk with Andee, Kavan and David. I\u2019m not sure there\u2019s much else to say other than it was&#8230;enlightening. Right at the start, David came on stage first and when Andee followed, he pretended to be sizing her up, which she took full advantage of with being far taller, and he jokingly cowered and sat down.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/gairwyn\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21073\" title=\"Chevron 7.5 Andee Frizzell and David Nykl\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Andee-Frizzell-David-Nykl2.jpg\" alt=\"Chevron 7.5 Andee Frizzell and David Nykl\" width=\"576\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Andee-Frizzell-David-Nykl2.jpg 576w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Andee-Frizzell-David-Nykl2-256x192.jpg 256w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Andee-Frizzell-David-Nykl2-512x384.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/gairwyn\"><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Earlier in the day, someone had told Andee that they were originally from Bubbenhall but she heard it as Bummenhole and said she just had to tell everyone, and she ended up shouting it out quite a few times during the talk! However, Kavan being Kavan did come back with the response of \u201cYou know you won\u2019t get pregnant if you do it in the&#8230;\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Back on track, the main focus of the talk was on Andee\u2019s prosthetics and how it took 8 hours the first time but they eventually got it down to 5 hours as the series progressed. However it meant that she was always the first and the last one on set, and one time, as she was in the shower in her trailer, washing away all the excess make-up, her trailer started moving and apparentl<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">y they were towing it away with her inside screaming and clinging to the shower rail!\u00a0 She also mentioned how she had to be driven everywhere even after the prosthetics were off at the end of the day, because the contacts gave her pin-hole vision so anyone could be around her and she wouldn\u2019t realise, therefore she wasn\u2019t allowed to drive.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/gairwyn\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-21072\" title=\"Chevron 7.5 Kavan Smith, Andee Frizzell and David Nykl\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Andee-Frizzell2-256x192.jpg\" alt=\"Chevron 7.5 Kavan Smith, Andee Frizzell and David Nykl\" width=\"443\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Andee-Frizzell2-256x192.jpg 256w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Andee-Frizzell2-512x384.jpg 512w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Andee-Frizzell2.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 443px) 100vw, 443px\" \/><\/a>Also, bec<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">ause the only time people saw her on set, she was in all her prosthetics, when it came to the wrap parties, no-one would recognise her. She\u2019d be walking up to people and trying to talk to them and they\u2019d just look at her and walk away. So eventually, after being ignored by one of the sound technicians, she walked over to her and her husband and<\/span><\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/gairwyn\"><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"> burst out with \u201cOh, so this is how it\u2019s going to be. Yesterday you had your hands down my pants and now you\u2019re ignoring me!\u201d Apparently the look on the husband\u2019s face was priceless and Andee didn\u2019t realise what she\u2019d said til much later!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Someone also asked all of them if they\u2019d ever left set in their make-up&#8230;which as Kavan and David pointed out, that question only really applied to Andee. And as the Queen of hilarious stories, she had in fact done so. She\u2019d been on set early as usual for prosthetics but took a break to do a coffee run and drove 10 blocks to the nearest coffee shop. She was standing in the queue and ordering her coffee all whilst being in nearly full wraith make-up&#8230;and I mean everything minus the hair, which meant she just had a skull cap on with her hair sticking through a gap at the back!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Talking about the Wraith, Andee was asked what it was like having Joe [Flanigan] on his knees in front of her. The response: \u201cWhat was it like having Joe Flanigan kneeling before me? Hellooo, have you seen him? What do you think it was like?!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">I can\u2019t even remember how it came about but I remember Kavan just heading out on a tangent and telling us he had \u201cloads of kids, but the 2 I\u2019m going to tell you about today are the 2 I live with&#8230;\u201d and later on when asked who they would feed to the Wraith if they could, Kavan nominated his kids as long as he could have them back for birthdays and Christmas&#8230;although he was fine with it if they left the Wraith-y stuff over their mouths to keep them quiet! David and Andee (to much applause) nominated McKay as the best choice!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Although David didn\u2019t manage to get a word in edgeways with Andee babbling on, he did make some priceless comments on her stories! And he of course lowered the tone when they were asked what they would tell aliens was the best thing about Earth. After unanimously deciding on beer, David chipped in with \u201cOh, and boobs.\u201d which was followed by a whole conversation between him and Kavan on women and boobs. What can you say? Men!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/gairwyn\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21074\" title=\"Chevron 7.5 Kavan Smith, Andee Frizzell and David Nykl\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Andee-Frizzell-David-Nykl-Kavan-Smith2.jpg\" alt=\"Chevron 7.5 Kavan Smith, Andee Frizzell and David Nykl\" width=\"576\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Andee-Frizzell-David-Nykl-Kavan-Smith2.jpg 576w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Andee-Frizzell-David-Nykl-Kavan-Smith2-256x192.jpg 256w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Andee-Frizzell-David-Nykl-Kavan-Smith2-512x384.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">My friend also asked a question about Kavan\u2019s role in Human Target but he didn\u2019t understand the question so Andee said she\u2019d translate it for him. The translation was \u201cWhat colour underwear are you wearing?\u201d and without even thinking: \u201cBlue.\u201d. When he actually worked out the question and the fact it was about his British accent (Because he\u2019d been talking about Amanda [Tapping]\u2019s British accent during the screening), he told everyone that all he\u2019d had to say was \u201cBlimey\u201d&#8230;which started a whole new round of saying \u201cBlimey\u201d in a British accent then yelling \u201cBummenhole.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">It was also during this talk that Kavan brought up the subject of who could make the most annoying noise for the longest amount of time. He then proceeded to make a high-pitched, really scratchy \u201cEeeeeee\u201d that seemed to last forever, or at least until David pretended to turn him off!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">After that, it was time for the auction which looked to be a success judging on how much some of the items were going for. But the auction wasn\u2019t what people had hung around for really, it was of course the big announcement for Chevron 7.6&#8230;even though I think a lot of people had already figured it out! The room went dark and the video started playing, and I\u2019d decided to stay calm because I thought I\u2019d guessed, but then it came up that Teryl Rothery was going and I am unashamed to admit that I did squeal along with everyone else! However, no surprises that the subsequent announcement of Richard Dean Anderson did raise the roof!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">On Sunday morning, I only had a couple of autographs to still collect. The slightly odd thing was that I got talking to Lexa about the party the night before and she did remember me as the girl in the heels with the gun. Whether that is good or bad, I have no idea, and didn\u2019t want to ask!! On Andee\u2019s autograph desk was a pile of chocolate, because she\u2019d mentioned loving chocolate, so now she\u2019s decided that at her next convention she\u2019s going to announce what alcohol she likes and see if any turns up on her desk! Andee was still crazy and taking time with each person. There was a young child in front of me, and when asked what her favourite Stargate show was, the kid answered with Atlantis and Andee started celebrating. I then, obviously, had to say to her \u201cIs this the part where I say SG1?\u201d at which point she started joking she should kick me out of her queue, so we stuck to Atlantis talk.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Getting my autograph with Sarah was slightly more serious, because when she asked where I lived, it came up that she\u2019d done a play in my hometown many years ago. Comparing what the city was like then and now (with much laughter), we came to the conclusion that I should move away. It was actual<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"> <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">ly really nice to have a British guest there because as lovely as the other guests were, when they asked you where you lived, it was just a courtesy because they didn&#8217;t really know!!<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">I then headed for my photo with Tony, and honestly, he is just so nice, especially seeing as I nearly ran into him the day before just outside the photo room. Although it has to be said, that <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"> <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">he loves wearing that hat!

It only continued with the rule that flash photography is only allowed for the first few minutes, and then there\u2019s a countdown; a countdown which they both decided to dance along too.

So she got in the water and after a few seconds she could feel her hair a<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">nd face being pulled upwards and i<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">nflating, followed by her pants, and in a last desperate attempt to stay underwater, she grabbed the weight at the bottom of the tank; except that didn\u2019t work out, because eventually that started floating upwards too!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/gairwyn\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-21080\" title=\"Chevron 7.5 David Nykl and Andee Frizzell\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-David-Nykl-Andee-Frizzell-talk-3-256x192.jpg\" alt=\"Chevron 7.5 David Nykl and Andee Frizzell\" width=\"310\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-David-Nykl-Andee-Frizzell-talk-3-256x192.jpg 256w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-David-Nykl-Andee-Frizzell-talk-3-512x384.jpg 512w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-David-Nykl-Andee-Frizzell-talk-3.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Long story short, she was <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">supposed to rise out of the water very slowly and gracefully, with a calm face&#8230;instead she shot out of the water, screaming! The crew apparently wanted to re-shoot that scene but she flat-out refused after that palaver! Yet that wasn\u2019t the end of it. Her prosthetics went right down to her neckline and when she took it off later, she was left with a ring line of hickeys where the foam had pulled at her skin!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">David then talked about how there wasn\u2019t really a name for his character when he got the role, but he knew he\u2019d made it on the show when Zelenka got a first name! And also how Zelenka was obviously more intelligent and more well liked that McKay.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">He also spoke about the fact that he could get away with saying what he liked in Czech, on set, so he made the most of it! Apparently there are some episodes where David is just swearing in Czech purely because no-one knew any different!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/gairwyn\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21078\" title=\"Chevron 7.5 David Nykl and Andee Frizzell\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-David-Nykl-Andee-Frizzell-talk1.jpg\" alt=\"Chevron 7.5 David Nykl and Andee Frizzell\" width=\"576\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-David-Nykl-Andee-Frizzell-talk1.jpg 576w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-David-Nykl-Andee-Frizzell-talk1-256x192.jpg 256w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-David-Nykl-Andee-Frizzell-talk1-512x384.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">After that, there was the quiz, during which it was established that Kavan paid no attention to character names or which episode was which because his answer to everything was \u201cWhat the &#8212;-?\u201d or \u201cWho the &#8212;- is that?\u201d It was actually amazing that his team won! Although when Lexa demanded \u201cWhat planet are you on?!\u201d at least he managed to answer with \u201cUm&#8230;Atlantis?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Following that, there was a quick break where Tracy (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/honesthunny\" target=\"_blank\">@honesthunny<\/a>) managed to find me, and being the absolutely wonderful person she is, gave me one of the places she\u2019d won for the guest encounter with Lexa. The whole time was pretty much just laughing, as Lexa told of her latest project, her favourite music and books, amusing stories of Vancouver and how no-one recognises her there, along with an embarrassing story of when someone actually did! And we must say thank you to Lexa because she has given us permission to post everything that was talked about at the encounter, but I\u2019ll let Tracy do that because she has all the notes and it was all down to her that I was even there in the first place!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">After that encounter, we headed back to the hall and found that Tracy had also won 2 places for the encounter with David, but we decided that I\u2019d go to the talk with Kavan and Lexa while she went to the encounter so we had both angles covered.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/gairwyn\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21083\" title=\"Chevron 7.5 Lexa Doig and Kavan Smith\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Lexa-Doig-Kavan-Smith1.jpg\" alt=\"Chevron 7.5 Lexa Doig and Kavan Smith\" width=\"576\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Lexa-Doig-Kavan-Smith1.jpg 576w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Lexa-Doig-Kavan-Smith1-256x192.jpg 256w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Lexa-Doig-Kavan-Smith1-512x384.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-21081\" href=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=21081\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-21081\" title=\"Chevron 7.5 Kavan Smith\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Kavan-Smith-288x384.jpg\" alt=\"Chevron 7.5 Kavan Smith\" width=\"233\" height=\"311\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Kavan-Smith-288x384.jpg 288w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Kavan-Smith-144x192.jpg 144w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Kavan-Smith.jpg 432w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 233px) 100vw, 233px\" \/><\/a>The talk with Lexa and Kavan was just out of this world&#8230;I don\u2019t think there was even a running theme throughout it. They started by swapping funny stories of their kids, including Kavan taking his son to the toilet and his son proclaiming \u201cWoah Dad, you have a huge penis!\u201d to which his reply was apparently \u201cUhh, thanks.\u201d Although Lexa did wonder how many penises his son had to compare it too, and Kavan cheekily replied with \u201cWell I\u2019m not home much so who knows?!\u201d He then turned the table to Lexa for funny kid stories.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Her first one was her son wanting to go out in the winter wearing shorts and when she told him he couldn\u2019t go out in them and had to go and change into pants, he asked who had made it cold and she replied with Mother Nature, and being a curious child, he asked who told Mother Nature it had to be cold and she told him God. At this point, her son asked who God was and Lexa was starting to panic internally, trying to think of a way to explain it when her daughter stepped in and just said \u201cGod is the president of Earth.\u201d Atta girl!

Because as Lexa said \u201cObviously if there was an earthquake, there\u2019d just be a long line of parents chatting away and waiting for their children to be brought to them!\u201d Although during this drill, Lexa was talking to another parent, and her daughter kept whining and trying to get her attention but Lexa told her to hold on and not interrupt, so when she eventually turned to her daughter and asked what was up, her daughter just looked at her and went \u201cI can\u2019t remember what I was whining about Mommy!\u201d. Lexa reckons it was one of the cutest things ever!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">They were then talking about how thinking you\u2019re cool will always come back and bite you, with Lexa saying she <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/gairwyn\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-21082\" title=\"Chevron 7.5 Lexa Doig\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Lexa-Doig1-288x384.jpg\" alt=\"Chevron 7.5 Lexa Doig\" width=\"273\" height=\"364\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Lexa-Doig1-288x384.jpg 288w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Lexa-Doig1-144x192.jpg 144w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Lexa-Doig1.jpg 432w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 273px) 100vw, 273px\" \/><\/a>wished her younger self hadn\u2019t thought she was so cool which resulted in a couple more stories. The first of which she was going to meet a friend, but there was a huge traffic jam so she decided to get out of the taxi and walk. I can\u2019t remember which city she said she was in at the time, but there was a garbage strike, so the streets were lined with bags of rubbish, which only made her embarrassment worse. Basically, she was walking down the street and got wolf whistled by a car of young men, so she turned round and said \u201cEasy boys!\u201d (Kavan: *in disbelief* \u201cYou actually said that?!\u201d) then turned round again and walked straight into a pole, staggered backwards, lost a shoe and fell into a pile of garbage.\u00a0 She surmised it wouldn\u2019t have been so bad had the traffic been moving, but the same people who had seen her fall, then watched as she pulled herself up, searched for her shoe then carried on walking down the street as though none of it had happened!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">She also talked about bad 90s fashion and wearing a faux leather mini-skirt and jacket, and thinking she looked hot because she was practically getting marriage proposals as she walked down the street. It was only when an older women pulled her aside and pointed out that her skirt had ridden up, did Lexa realise she\u2019d walked goodness knows how many blocks with her butt hanging out. And now that she was conscious of that fact, she also realised that the skirt rode up every 5 steps with the friction from the jacket. It was then that she \u201crealised the marriage proposals were for my butt, not my face!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Kavan then talked a little more about his family, and bless his wife, the stories he tells. He told of how they had a housewarming party not long after they were married and that when his mother asked his wife why the dog was called Lucy (because she\u2019d had the dog before she met Kavan), his wife answered \u201cBecause I heard that dogs respond well to names with hard K sounds.\u201d At which point, his family just looked at him like: \u201cYou married her for her brains then.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Typically, Kavan then started making boob gestures before turning to Lexa and asking \u201cHow big did your boobs get when you were pregnant?\u201d She replied \u201cMassive.\u201d And got \u201cCool!\u201d plus an immature grin in return.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/gairwyn\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21085\" title=\"Chevron 7.5 Lexa Doig and Kavan Smith\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Lexa-Doig-Kavan-Smith-talk1.jpg\" alt=\"Chevron 7.5 Lexa Doig and Kavan Smith\" width=\"575\" height=\"765\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Lexa-Doig-Kavan-Smith-talk1.jpg 432w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Lexa-Doig-Kavan-Smith-talk1-144x192.jpg 144w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-Lexa-Doig-Kavan-Smith-talk1-288x384.jpg 288w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">The only Stargate related part of Lexa and Kavan\u2019s talk was when Lexa continued her Scottish accent from the earlier quiz and asked if Kavan could do an impression of Paul McGillion. The smart alec answered with \u201cSure, give me two pieces of buttered toast.\u201d There was no reply to that. At all.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">And then sadly, the final talk and closing ceremony were upon us. The only question I really remember from those though, was about party tricks. David showed everyone a coin trick and no-one else could think of anything until Andee showed us a yoga trick. Kavan then turned to Lexa with \u201cHey, what was that trick you were telling me about earlier? Something about tossing salad with your vagina?\u201d She just looked at him in total shock, surprisingly! It turned out that they\u2019d been joking about being able to launch ping-pong balls from a vagina although as Lexa pointed out, \u201cI don\u2019t know where you got salad from ping-pong balls!\u201d and the conversation just went downhill from there&#8230;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/gairwyn\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21071\" title=\"Chevron 7.5 All guests\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-All-guests.jpg\" alt=\"Chevron 7.5 All guests\" width=\"576\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-All-guests.jpg 576w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chevron-7.5-All-guests-256x94.jpg 256w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">All in all, it was a brilliant weekend against all the odds, all the guests were charming and it was lovely to see old and new friends alike.
