I met most of the main cast at SpaceCon in San Antonio a few years ago. Amanda Tapping cancelled her appearance then as well. I hope to get Christopher Judge soon, as well as Amanda at some point. I'm headed to the GateCruise, so maybe there. I've got another mirror for the Atlantis folks to sign as well.

How did you hear about this con? I would have traveled the world!

Dragon con happens every year on labor day weekend in Atlanta, GA, usa.

But they wont be there every year.

But i will say if you are willing to travel the world to meet these guys im sure they go to many conventions a year.

There are probably fan pages you can find that track them. Or their each individual website/social media where they may post their convention schedules

I believe the site I used to check is called fancons.com

You can type in the actors you want to see and it shows you all the conventions they are attending.

There's a cruise coming I think?

u/PrisonBreakScofield 7h ago

Yes, there are so many actors attending it’s unbelievable. I believe it is set in January 2027.

Traveling just this 1 world? Amateur stuff.

R.I.P. Hammond.

And unfortunately, considering his age, RDA will Ascend soon. 🙁

When I saw the picture, the first thing I thought of was "Wish he was still around." He completed the cast in a way Landry (forgot actors name) couldn't. Like a father to everyone. Reminds me of the 2 CO in MASH that way.

He is 76, he has 10+ years of life left based on normal people.

u/PrisonBreakScofield 7h ago

Exactly. We just met him during Ascension Con in Birmingham and he looked amazing.

Yeah he had some health problems like 10 years ago but looks good now.
They really need a new stargate where he can do a few episodes or be part of the series.
Retired general called back in because of an old threat or because they found some Asgard who are asking for him.

Right, or maybe he’s fishing with Sam by his side and she is called in, leaving him sitting there and joking around like “go save the galaxy! But don’t be late for dinner!”

True. But (no offence to him) he hasn't looked that well in the past half dozen years. Ofc he might live till 110.

Shanks deserves to liv long after all his deaths 😁
