All proceeds of Hub auctions go towards the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.starlight.org.au\/Pages\/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Starlight Foundation<\/a>, and items bidded on included an authenticated panel from the &#8216;Aurora&#8217; ship (from the set of <a href=\"http:\/\/stargate.mgm.com\/view\/series\/2\/\" target=\"_blank\">Stargate Atlantis<\/a>), framed photos signed by almost the entire Stargate cast, and an original zat-gun in a case signed by Amanda Tapping.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/jandyracjm\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-2292 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/MovieM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Zat-256x192.jpg\" alt=\"The zat gun, case to be signed by Amanda Tapping, and auctioned off for the Starlight Foundation\" width=\"256\" height=\"192\" \/><\/a><a title=\"Panel from the 'Aurora' of SGA, for auction!\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/jandyracjm\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-2293\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/MovieM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Aurora-256x192.jpg\" alt=\"Panel from the 'Aurora' of SGA, for auction!\" width=\"256\" height=\"192\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">For me, it was a particularly sweet occasion: What\u2019s better than visiting your beloved hometown and meeting (for the first time) your favourite actors and mentalists.

It was pretty early in the morning (<a title=\"Click to follow MichelleDaGreek on Twitter!\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/MichelleDaGreek\" target=\"_blank\">MichelleDaGreek<\/a> and I had ended up catching a taxi to the city\u2026IN MELBOURNE!

Epic SGA combat gear. And this Rob-guy said \u201cHey come join us over here!!\u201d So that was it! From there on in we blabbed to all and sundry, and everyone blabbed back. That\u2019s how AMAZING Australian Scifi fans are. I\u2019d forgotten how friendly a people we are.

It\u2019s exactly that, a basement, so tweets were nigh impossible from down in Hollow Earth! So my apologies for the sporadic twitter updates. It wasn\u2019t long before all the minions had torn themselves away from the pretty merchandise, and seated in what looked like a gigantic Repli-Carter cave. There\u2019s no other way to describe it, though Robin Dunne called them teeth. I was waiting for a gooey <a title=\"Click to learn more Samatha Carter on MGM's official web site!\" href=\"http:\/\/stargate.mgm.com\/view\/character\/150\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">Samantha Carter<\/a> to emerge from the walls\u2026any moment now\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/jandyracjm\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2285\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/MovieM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Theatre.jpg\" alt=\"Repli-Carter theatre...we're all doomed!\" width=\"576\" height=\"433\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">The Hub people are true Aussies; openly friendly, you can strike up a conversation with any of them (provided they\u2019re not chasing an emergency!). As we were welcomed, it was straight into business, and while VIP and Platinum pass holders were called up first for their photo opportunities, we played celebrity heads Stargate-style (NO HE\u2019S NOT A GOA\u2019ULD. GOOD THING HE CAN\u2019T HEAR YOU OR HE\u2019LL SMITE YOUR FACE!), then watched the Season 1 pilot of Sanctuary in epic, cinema-scale! There\u2019s nothing quite like watching Druitt looking into the barrel of a gun held by his former lover, on a screen that\u2019s twice the size of your living room. Yes, you heard correctly! TWICE.THE.SIZE.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"Check out that baby....imagine Sanctuary or Stargate on THAT!\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/jandyracjm\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2286\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/MovieM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/screen3.jpg\" alt=\"Check out that baby....imagine Sanctuary or Stargate on THAT!\" width=\"576\" height=\"432\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">So as row by row, we were called up for a massive cuddle and photo with the actors, <a title=\"Click to visit Stargate SG-1 on the official MGM web site!\" href=\"http:\/\/stargate.mgm.com\/view\/series\/1\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">Stargate SG1<\/a> was played on that gigantically epic screen. At some point Amanda came dashing down the stairs (she could hear it playing) with her handlers straggling in her wake as she cringed and facepalmed at seeing herself in \u2018The Tok\u2019ra\u2019. As Amanda said later, she practically had a whole ten, no wait&#8230; fifteen (\u2018Okay, I\u2019ll be serious!\u2019) years of her life documented on camera. Olivia has some things to say about it. But more on that in the transcript!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"That's Rob!

Oh, wow. My mind is blown. Like Amanda once said, as much as these conventions are about the guests, it is the fans who make them what they are. Sitting in the midst of the cheery, diverse crowd, I couldn\u2019t believe it. EVERY.SINGLE.PERSON here\u2026WAS A FAN! It&#8217;s a bit like what I imagine heaven to be. Finally, we can squee and debate and totally geek out, with pretty much every single person in the building. Utter paradise! It\u2019s as if one can finally be oneself and stand tall, because you know that you have your own part to play in this family, and everyone shares in the humour, the laughter, the tears, the strangling hugs, and the outrageous dorkism. I arrived there with five friends, and came away with fifty. THAT is what Australian scifi fans are like. BEAUTIFUL.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">In the queue for photo with Amanda. Meeting her was nothing like what I\u2019d expected. For all you people out there who respect this incredible woman, please take note: She may be generous, loving, talented, genuine, sincere and darn good-looking. But she is, above all, human. Don\u2019t ever forget it. So walking up to her, big fat grin on my face, I said \u201cI come bearing the love and hugs of EVERYONE *gestures* on your website!\u201d Her face melted with an \u2018AWWWWW\u2019 as I was smooshed against her in a gigantic cuddle. \u201cSee you at AT5! \u201cGREAT!!! :D\u201d. One flashbulb later, I came away with an even fatter grin on my face, knees slightly wobbly, and ready to bring on whatever was in store!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"Unleash the dork...\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/jandyracjm\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2291\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/MovieM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/DSC00972.jpg\" alt=\"Unleash the dork...\" width=\"577\" height=\"767\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Whilst hanging out with a group of these wonderful fans, we heard <a title=\"Click to visit and follow Robin Dunne on Twitter!\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/RobinDunne\" target=\"_blank\">Robin Dunne<\/a> raucously yelling from the photography corner. On trotting curiously over, we found that Robin and Amanda were just hanging out..you know, chilling. She quickly kissed him on the cheek and padded away to sounds of &#8216;awwwwww&#8217; while Robin stood there pointing emphatically at his other cheek. With a sigh, Amanda shuffled back to him, pecked his other cheek, and walked away to the sounds of his claps, bounces and squees of &#8220;SHE KISSED ME, SHE KISSED ME!!!&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">First up was the adorable <a title=\"Click to learn more about Chuck Campbell on IMDB! \" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0132310\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chuck Campbell<\/a> Q&amp;A panel. All of the panels were delightfully informal, the atmosphere throughout the whole day was relaxed and somewhat on the mental side. As most of you will know, Chuck Campbell has appeared semi-regularly on <a title=\"Click to visit Stargate Atlantis on the official MGM web site!\" href=\"http:\/\/stargate.mgm.com\/view\/series\/2\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">Stargate Atlantis<\/a>, and recently on <a title=\"Click to visit Sanctuary on SyFy!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.syfy.com\/Sanctuary\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sanctuary<\/a> as two-face man (\u201cI WANT TO EAT YOUR FACE!\u201d), and he is as quirky and fun as he seems onscreen. Chuck told many hilarious anecdotes about working on SGA and Sanctuary.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"Click to visit PaganX on Twitter!\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/paganx\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2300\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/MovieM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/CHUCK1.jpg\" alt=\"Click to visit PaganX on Twitter!\" width=\"575\" height=\"861\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Most awkward moment? He had an\u2026um\u2026an embarrassing man moment in the middle of shooting a scene. \u201cWho was the scene with?!\u201d someone in the audience yells. Chuck flicks his nose and replies, \u201cwell that\u2019s the embrassing thing, it was with a guy!\u201d. Said guy headed straight to his trailer afterwards, and wouldn\u2019t speak to poor Chuck for the rest of the day. Ironically enough, Chuck got engaged this year! CONGRATULATIONS CHUCK!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">When asked about his funniest prank onset, Chuck thought for a moment, pensively staring up at the Repli-Carter ceiling. Amidst a barrage of grins and chuckles, he related a time he had secretly turned <a href=\"http:\/\/davidnykl.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">David Nykl<\/a>\u2019s (Dr. Radek Zelenka) SGA computer screensaver into an explicit photo of the male anatomy. When the screensaver loaded in the middle of filming a scene, David didn&#8217;t know what to do.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">As for Sanctuary, Chuck spoke a fair bit about working with <a href=\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/name\/nm0382216\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chris Heyerdahl<\/a>. As fans well know, that revered actor is one of the best character artists in Canada, and an absolute gem. Sometimes, when in prosthetics for Biggie, he\u2019d forget, and it was almost impossible to have a normal conversation with him for the enormous hair and flat nose staring you in the face. More than once, <a href=\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/name\/nm0730455\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ryan Robbin<\/a>\u2019s little daughter (who normally ADORED Chris) was too scared to go near him, until he started telling her about his new kitten and she relaxed somewhat!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"Click to visit PaganX on Twitter!\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/paganx\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2301\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/MovieM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/CHUCK3.jpg\" alt=\"Click to visit PaganX on Twitter!\" width=\"577\" height=\"433\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Beef jerky? Apparently on a visit to his hometown In Nova Scotia, Chuck found a brand of it called \u2018Sasquatch\u2019, and the guy on the poster looked frightfully like Biggie. When he asked if he could buy the advertisement to take to set with him, the wary shopkeeper just told him to go home.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Who would he like to play as himself if a movie were made about his life? \u201cColin Farrell!

How would he feel about Chuck Norris playing him? \u201cEVEN BETTER!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Chuck has nothing but the utmost respect for Amanda Tapping and Christopher Heyerdahl.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"The gentle and wise, Carmen Argenziano...\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/paganx\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2304\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/MovieM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Carmen31.jpg\" alt=\"The gentle and wise, Carmen Argenziano...\" width=\"576\" height=\"767\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Dear <a title=\"Click to learn more about Carmen Argenziano at his official web site!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.carmenargenziano.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Carmen Argenziano<\/a> is a Pandora\u2019s Box of wisdom and graciousness. His entire panel had a spiritual zen about it, and his pride and adoration for his wife Eileen (who was sitting in the audience) was beautiful to behold. Carmen had many beautiful and personal memories about beloved Don S. Davis, and moved the audience almost to tears. He discussed much about working with Amanda Tapping in Stargate SG1, on developing their relationship as father and daughter, and he described her as a Meryl-Streep class actress: When she comes into a scene, she never takes the limelight. Instead, she challenges your reactions and tries to drag it out of you in the humble manner of a true artist. The relationship just sort of happened.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"Click to visit PaganX on Twitter!\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/PaganX\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2305\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/MovieM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Carmen41.jpg\" alt=\"Click to visit PaganX on Twitter!\" width=\"576\" height=\"432\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">What character would he most like to play?

There was too much gold and hysteria in every passing second with each of these fabulous people, so they deserve nothing but a full narrative. Robin Dunne had the audience in hysterics throughout his hour, dramatically re-enacting every anecdote he had to tell\u2026including their trip to Tokyo, and the Holden MacPhillips saga.

She does not stare at the floor, nor around the room in general, but directs her answer straight at you as if it were a heart to heart discussion on the topic at hand. I was lucky enough to ask the very last question in her panel, before she was dressed with a white teeshirt, and the hilarity began. I wanted to go down and write &#8216;CHECK OUT MY NUBBINS ^^^&#8217; But thought better of it. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"&quot;I think we should all wear our hearts on the outside&quot;\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/paganx\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2361\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/MovieM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/155034_10150106405434923_522169922_7578128_1019650_n.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;I think we should all wear our hearts on the outside&quot;\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Amanda  grabbed the pen herself, and tried to write on her own chest while  someone held the mic up to her, and she started pulling faces with  &#8220;GRNNGHGHREEEEEEERRRRRRR&#8221;. She ended up drawing a huge heart over her  own, &#8220;because I think we should all wear our hearts on the outside&#8221; and  proceeded to tell about the necklace she had given her dear friend,  Cynthia Semon, and how Olivia had started to love painting hearts.

Amanda stood nervously with a ridiculously goofy grin on her face, and when Robin turned her to face him, her back read &#8216;MAGNUS IS HOT!!!&#8217; at which the audience exploded into laughter and cheers. Robin flipped Amanda around to face the back, and as he began signing her shoulder, she threw her hair back seductively and assumed a pin-up pose\u2026after which he wobbled away squeezing his legs together awkwardly, squeaking out: \u201cOkay\u2026I\u2019m&#8230;gonna go now!\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/abydos71\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2369\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/MovieM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO2-256x192.jpg\" alt=\"Nooooooooooooooooooo!\" width=\"256\" height=\"192\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/paganx\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2370\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/MovieM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/OH-DEAR-GOD-256x384.jpg\" alt=\"OH DEAR GOD\" width=\"256\" height=\"384\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Then the bidding began! At $450, a guy near the front cried out \u201cONE THOUSAND\u201d, and Amanda flipped up her head and stared at him like he was some sort of crazy person. Needless to say, the guy won the bidding, and was given the chance to take her shirt off. Oh the hysteria! As he nervously tried to grasp the bottom of her teeshirt, Amanda grabbed his wrist and coyly tried to drag him into a dark corner of the room. The teeshirt came off without too much inappropriateness, and after a massive hug of gratitude, Amanda wobbled around fanning her face and giggling. I have never. Laughed. So much.
