LUCY LAWLESS IN LONDON / XENA 2008
I just wanted to say what a fantastic time I had this weekend. It's nice
to see that you want to give us the best you can and that you are always
available for people to bring any problems that they may have. You
have such a friendly company and I appreciate your efforts. I'm
especially pleased that you managed to get Lucy to sign for us, as it
really made the event perfect. As you know, it's the first time she's
come to the UK and after a 13 year wait it was important for us to have that chance. Please let her know just how much we appreciated it. Also, please thank all the guests for giving us a great time, and all the staff for making sure we were taken care of.
Kind regards, H.
I just wanted to say that I had an amazing time at the Xena convention this weekend in London (and of course Lucy's concert!). It was my first Creation event and I found it to be extremely well run and organised - definitely a weekend I won't forget. Thank you for all of your hard work and I really hope to attend another one of your events soon.
Kind regards, B.G.
This event ROCKED! All the attending celebrities were SO nice and really enthusiastic :) this and the FAB organization made it really really enjoyable.
I think the only way it could have been better for me is if my measly student budget could have stretched to a gold package and lucy concet ticket. But i've made some friends for life so I couldn't be happier!
You HAVE to come back to the UK with it bigger and better, because we'll all be there...but it not then rest assured there's many of us planning to fly out and go the whole hog with wherever the 2010 convention will be :) THANK YOU FOR A FANTASTIC WEEKEND!!!
G.
Just to let you know ..I was estatic to win the vip pass to meet Lucy....it was of course worth it. Thanks so much and for your good luck wishes! It was a brilliant memorable moment and weekend. Thanks to all the creation team for putting this together and of course Lucy!!!

GRAND SLAM: SCI-FI SUMMIT, BURBANK, CA
Just wanted to pass along my congrats for a great Grand Slam. This was my 15th year and it was just as exciting and well run as the previous 14 were. See y'all at Vegas and your November Burbank shows and, of course, in LA for the 2009 Grand Slam!
F.
I just attended the Grand Slam Convention in Burbank last weekend. I had a fantastic time...especially with Zachary Quinto and Grace Park on stage. I also really enjoyed the Enterprise 1st Assistant Director's presentation. He presented a unique point of view with his digital photos and he was very personable in the Autograph Room.
I also want to tell you that my favorite thing to do now at conventions (I've been attending for 5 years) is photo ops. The atmosphere is relaxed and un-hurried, and a few seconds with the actor to say hello in a photo op line is much better than the hustle and bustle of an autograph line. Please make sure the photo op experience goes un-changed...if it ever turns into a "cattle call" I will be disappointed.
Finally, please try to make every effort to get more actors from the new Star Trek movie booked for Las Vegas and next year's Grand Slam. I think they will bring new energy to the convention stage by talking about (or around) the new movie...just as Zachary Quinto did. I believe Simon Pegg would be the best "bang for the buck." Not only could he talk Star Trek, but he could talk about "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz"...both classic "fanboy" movies.
OK, thanks for your time. Again, I really enjoyed my time last weekend.
M.L.
I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the convention. Fifteen of the guests were people I had never seen before so it was really nice to see so many new faces. I enjoyed all of the appearances and the highlights for me were Grace Park, Zachary Quinto, the Smallville panel, David Goodman and the Sorbo/Hurst reunion. One of the things about Grand Slam that I really appreciate is the wide variety of guests from so many different shows and movies. I might not have tried (and become a loyal fan of) shows like Firefly,Supernatural,Smallville and Battlestar Galactica had it not been for seeing these people at Grand Slam over the years, so I thank you for that. I have already renewed my gold circle pass for next year and I even managed to move up to row "b" from "c". Some thing tells me though that row "a" is going to be tough to crack.
No complaints to speak of. Autograph lines moved quick but didn't feel rushed. All the guests were happy and friendly. Overall a great weekend.
Looking forward to next year. Would like to see more people from Lost, Sarah Conner Chronicles and Heroes since they don't have their own conventions yet. And if I'm not mistaken, Grand Slam 17 is happening right before a certain new Star Trek movie premiers.Might we hope for a nice turnout from the new crew? All are welcome of course but definitely Simon Pegg and Karl Urban.
Well I think I've taken up enough of your time. I will see you all next here in Vegas. Again, thanks for all your hard work. It is most appreciated.
Sincerely, C.S.
Once again Grand Slam for this year is over. It always goes too fast. However, it was wonderful as always. As I have said before it is my daughter and my quality time weekend every year for just the two of us and we really look forward to it every year.
Thanks so much for having Chris as the photographer. He is absolutely fantastic. The photos go so much faster and are so much better with him. He is the best photographer I have ever seen and we are so glad that you have him at the conventions. Please keep having him, he makes the conventions special with such great photos for us to keep.
Thanks also for getting the Vancouver Stargate Convention up on the web site. We have already signed up and got our Gold Circle seats for that in 2009. We are big Stargate fans and are looking forward to the studio tour as well as the convention.
We plan to do the Las Vegas Star Trek Convention in 2010. Have to spread them out a little. We will always do Grand Slam every year.
We have such wonderful memories and pictures from the conventions over the years. We started going way back when it was just Star Trek, before they became Grand Slam, over 20 years. We have met so many TV stars (and movie stars like Joan Collins and Ricardo Montalbon), have so many pictures and autographs. It is incredible. Thank you so much for doing this, it means so much to us. All those memories can never be replaced.
Thank you again. See you next year.
L.M. AND D.C.
I wish I could go to all your conventions since they are so well run. I like that that when we buy a photo op or autograph you guarantee we get it plus that you don't oversell your conventions so we are able to attend every talk.
S.
I just wanted to take a moment to say how much I truly enjoyed my first Grand Slam event. The guests were delightful. While I went specifically for James Marsters I was blown away by Leonard Nimoy and Zachary Quinto. This may be the only time I had to see Mr. Nimoy, and I want to thank you for giving me that opportunity. Though it is probably not possible I would like to express an interest in the addition of the Moonlight panel at Fango NJ. I have been wondering if anyone would get around to having this great show and its excellent cast appear. Flying back across the country just is not an option for me at this time, so I wanted to say that I would really like to see them closer to home. Creation puts on spectacular events that i always enjoy, and I'd like to pass on a special word of thanks to your photographer Chris who does such a beautiful job with all the photos. Thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts. I look forward to seeing all again soon.
Sincerely, C.O.
STARGATE SG-1, VANCOUVER, B.C.
Just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed the recent Vancouver Stargate Con! This was my third year in a row attending as a Gold Ticket holder, and I swear you guys do it better every year. :) I want to mention just how impressed I was by this year's photographer. I won't have to retouch any of my wonderful Photo Ops this time around, and in my job as an art director that's saying a lot! I did thank the photographer in person, but wanted to let you know that I was very impressed by the quality of his work.
Also, as you've already been told by countless fans, the totebags were a marvelous giveaway and AFAIC a better promo piece for Creation because they were subdued and useful - a great reminder of the con. Kudos for that!
Of course I was thrilled that you had Gary and Dan for the Gate Op, and finally getting my very own SG-1 Gate shot was the wonderful culmination of your Vancouver event for me. I felt that you had a good mix of guests this year, a little something for everyone, and the appearances of Martin and Brad for the promotion of "Continuum" was a nice touch. I have always wanted to meet those two gentleman, and their talk was marvelous.
I especially appreciated that you had some behind-the-scenes people like Bruce speak on stage again. I felt very lucky that I also got the chance to chat with Morris Chapdelaine this year while he was there to pick up Thor. I was thrilled that he remembered me and my silly cover artwork from years past, plus I got the bonus of having him gladly autograph my Hawaiian Thor Photo Op from last year (!), and he filled me in on his upcoming appearances at future cons, which I was happy to hear were in the works. The fact that so many of your guests like Bruce, Morris, Gary and Dan take the time to talk fans outside of the event is what makes the Stargate family so special and Creation such a great organizer.
Sadly, I won't be doing Van in 09, as our group has decided that Chicago in 09 is the next target. Time to descend on a new city and a new venue! I am sold on Creation above all of the other cons I have attended because you offer so much more in one package, and work so hard to deliver what the fans want. I know that your job is tougher than I can imagine, and I admire you guys for the hard work you put into making each and every event a special experience for us.
Again, much thanks and best of luck with ALL the cons you are running this year. See you in Chicago in 2009!
D.B.
Just a quick note to thank you again for another great convention in Vancouver!!! Everyone did a great job and I consider the weekend a success!! Thanks for the memories!
A.G.
Thank you to you and all of your staff for the amazing time in Vancouver! Everyone was so incredibly sweet! Thank you again!
S.
I just wanted to drop you a quick note about the con last weekend. I'd come over from the UK for the con, and had never been to a creation con before, so I really had no idea what to expect. I really just wanted to say that I had an unbelieveable time, mostly due to you and your staff.
Everything was organized and ran on time (which was a first for me, English cons always run late), the staff were really friendly and helpful from the minute that we arrived, and you picked some awesome guests. I can honestly say that it was the best con that I have ever been too, and I will definately be trying to get back here for next year.
Once again I just want to say thanks so much for a brilliant weekend, and I hope to be coming to another creation event in the not too distant future
A.
My husband and I are home and recovered from the Vancouver con and set tour. The set tour was amazing. Mr. Smith was the perfect guide. I will say that was a great time, and your staff is great. Leticia and Laurie went out of their way for me. And they are friendly and courtious, no matter what is going on. I cannot commend them enough. I am going to try obtaining Jolene Blalock's signature again this August (3rd try). So, I will see get to the Vegas con. That one has always been fun. Thank you and your staff for a great weekend.
S.M.
I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the performances last night; I believe this is the best entertainment so far on a Friday. Alexis Cruz blew me away; his performance was so thought-provoking and poignant. I cried when he did the 9-11 sketch and I still choke when I think about it. He was that good. James Bamford and Jason Momoa were a hoot. It was very enjoyable and just the thing to lift your spirits and get you laughing again. Well done, everyone.
S.M.
SUPERNATURAL, LOS ANGELES
Thanks so much! You did an amazing job with all my photos. I’ll always treasure them. It was great to have met you at the LA Convention, and I hope to see you in the future.
N.
Thank you so much for making my biggest dream come true by meeting Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles...it was amazing lol. It really feels like a dream...but now that i saw the pic (a little one on the site) i now know i really met them...sorry im being a total teenager right now lol. But anyways...thanks to you and the whole Creation Entertainment team!!!
C.
I just wanted to send out a very special thanks to everyone involved with this past weekend’s Supernatural Convention in LA (including all the workers, volunteers, security guards, actors and musicians and even the fans themselves).
I know you will get lots of thanks (and hopefully no criticisms) from the attendees but this weekend really meant a lot to me and every single one of you made it really worthwhile. Everyone was really nice, helpful and fun to be around when frankly that is exactly what I needed. This event was my first foray into the convention life and really it was my first venture outside of my normal life in about 3 or 4 years and my normal life hasn’t been very pleasant.
Everyone was so nice and so much fun and made me laugh out loud practically the whole time and I had really lost that laugh these past few years. I met the great fans (some of whom I am now keeping in touch with) who were so welcoming to someone so new to all of this; met all the great people who worked the convention and they were just as friendly and fun to talk to as anybody I’d ever met (especially considering some of them were going on as little sleep as I was) and all the guests we were there to see were amazing. I mean every single one of them was fun to see in concert, or talk to or hear them talk. I mean they were laugh out loud funny most of the times, I mean some of them really made me go and get a photo op/autograph with them just because they were so personable on stage.
Everybody at Creation and at the convention really made this a great experience for me and it was something that I really needed and I look forward to going to another one. So thanks everybody, you’ll always have a special place in my heart for giving me a weekend that I desperately needed to help me find my laugh back.
Sincerely, M.S.
I am writing to thank you and all of your wonderful hardworking staff for a glorious Supernatural convention in Los Angeles!! My first con ever was your Supernatural con in Chicago last year and the whole experience was incredible - then and now. I got to experience what a big convention feels like and what a smaller one feels like. I have to say that the organized way you handled all of us fans made each con, big or small just magical.
All the guests were sweethearts! All of them! Chad Lindberg was sweet and charming and so was Fredric Lane and both have seen ghosts so at the dessert party we talked to them about what they saw. Amazing stories!!
What a very special treat it was to listen to and meet Eric Kripke, himself! He is so passionate about his show and it is the passion of everyone related to that show that makes it so very special.
Jason Manns and Steve Carlson's concerts were such a treat as they are extremely talented singer-songwriters. Sandy McCoy is an absolute joy and a real breath of fresh air as she is the real deal - as genuine and sweet as can be.
Jared and Jensen are so very special. They are wonderful, gifted, gifted actors who also happen to be genuinely nice men who treat their fans like gold!!
The way you keep us fans very busy each day of the con, but in a fun way, the way you all run things so effortlessly, behind the scenes, but are always there to greet us with a smile and see if our needs/expectations are met. You at Creation really know how to entertain! :) We all come away feeling totally exhilarated and yes, ready for more!
Thank you all so very much and looking forward to my Creation Supernatural con # 3!!!!!
Sincerely, J.M.
You probably don't remember me with the hundreds of girls there but I went to the supernatural convention in LA,I came from Australia and I just wanted to say how nice you were to me every time you saw me and how much I LOVE my photos,they turned out better than I expected. Thank you.
J.V.
Once again I congratulate you and your staff for pulling off another successful event. My friends and I attended the recent Salute to Supernatural in Los Angeles and had the most incredible time. The accomodations were beautiful and your planned activities certainly did not leave one much time to be bored.
We attended the Salute to Supernatural in Chicago last November and although we thoroughly enjoyed that event, this one far surpassed our expectations. As you predicted, I and every attendee I spoke with were extremely delighted by the more intimate feel of a smaller gathering, as this provided us the opportunity to have more time with the celebrities as well as to better mingle with fellow fans. While no doubt Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki were the main draw and Fred Lehne is always entertaining, I also enjoyed meeting Chad Lindberg and Sandra McCoy, and loved the concerts put on by Jason Manns and Steve Carlson and his awesome band.
For me, the highlight of the weekend was Eric Kripke's attendance. I totally consider the price of the gold package money well spent. I would also like to take this opportunity to let you know how impressed I am by Creation's commitment to customer service and find both the staff and volunteers to be friendly and responsive. I appreciate that you took the time to point out the reason this particular hotel was selected over others was due to its level of service, thus underscoring your own mission statement. I was especially impressed by the number of times throughout the weekend you encouraged feedback, whether it be positive or negative (which you wanted to know immediately) and provided your email address. Thank you again for a fantastic experience and I look forward to attending another Creation event in the near future.
Sincerely yours and regards, M.M.
I was at the Los Angeles Salute to Supernatural Creation Convention April 4 to 6, 2008.
I would just like to tell you what a wonderful convention Los Angeles was. I didn’t think anything could have topped the Chicago Supernatural Convention, but you, Gary and the rest of the Creation Team outdid yourselves at Los Angeles. The Chicago and the Los Angeles Supernatural Creation Conventions were the best conventions that I have attended and this is from someone who has now attended some ninety plus conventions over the years
I enjoyed Jared, Jensen and Eric Kripke. That was to be expected. I had heard Steve Carlson in Chicago and was looking as forward to his concert as I was to Jared, Jensen and Eric, and Steve did not disappoint me. I was one of the people dancing in the aisles at Steve Carlson’s concert, and I have never done that before.
The surprise highlight of the convention was Sandy McCoy. She was full of life and a real joy to listen to. I enjoyed her Q and A as much as Jared’s and Jensen’s Q & A. I paid for one of Sandy’s autographs and Sandy was even more fun in the autograph line. What a way to end the convention! My only regret is that Sandy’s photo ops occurred before Sandy’s Q & A, so I didn’t purchase a Photo Op with Sandy, and that would have been a lot of fun. If I have a chance to do a Photo Op with Sandy in the future, I will be sure to do so.
If you are still looking for guests for Dallas, I would really love to see Sandy McCoy again, if your budget, and her schedule permit.
Your friend, L..C.
I would like to both congratulate and thank Creation Entertainment on a truly amazing weekend for the Salute to Supernatural Los Angeles Convention. Having traveled all the way from Adelaide, Australia to specifically attend a Sci-Fi Convention for the first time ever, I didn’t really know what to expect. Fortunately, I can say that the entire weekend surpassed all my expectations. It was truly worth it to attend the event as a Gold Weekend Patron. The entire weekend was jammed packed with a whole list of events. There was never a dull moment!
Jason Manns’ Concert on Friday night kicked off the weekend on the right note, and got me into the spirit of the event. Saturday was a fun, fast-paced day, full of continuous entertainment with a fantastic guest list lined up. It was amazing to sit and listen to guests, such as Frederic Lane, Chad Lindberg, Jason Manns, and even more incredible was that Creation Entertainment was able to secure the genius behind Supernatural, creator Eric Kripke! I was in awe the entire time! The autograph session provided fans with the opportunity to meet and greet these talented guests. Steve Carlson’s Saturday night concert provided fans with the opportunity to let their hair down and dance the night away. Steve is an amazing performer, and when accompanied with his band mates it was truly one stellar performance. But more great things were still to come. Gold Weekend Patrons were invited to an exclusive Celebrity Dessert Party later that night, with guests such as Frederic Lane and Chad Lindberg dropping by. The catering was exquisite, and the fact that the fans were able to sit and chat with Frederic and Chad just blew me a way. I can honestly say that I’ve never experienced anything quite like it!
But the best was saved for last. Sunday was a day I’ll always remember! I will certainly cherish the memories. This wonderful day commenced with an intimate and lovely breakfast for the Gold Weekend Patrons. All fans were able to mingle over a delightful breakfast. The event featured the two superstar guests, Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki. I just sat there the entire time gob-smacked! I couldn’t believe that I was in the same proximity as these two amazing actors, and even more so that I would get to meet them on several occasions that day. The photo ops session with Jensen and Jared was an experience like no other. To see them on screen is one thing, but to meet and be able to talk to them in person is an outer body experience. I couldn’t believe I was there. It was truly worth the sixteen plus hours of torture on the plane. (It took me two days to be able to stand up straight!) The cost spent to purchase both the single photo ops, plus the duo photo op with Jensen and Jared was totally worth it! The photographer, Chris should be highly commended on his work. I will forever treasure these photos! (My friends are so jealous!) After the photo ops, it was great to be able to sit and watch Jensen and Jared on stage both by themselves and together, answering questions from fans. Jensen and Jared were hilarious! I still can’t believe that Creation Entertainment was able to secure both of them together for another event (something that other Sci-Fi Convention Organizers have failed to do) so soon after the Chicago Convention last November. The autograph session with Jensen and Jared provided yet another opportunity to come face to face with these incredible guys. I still can’t believe how many times I got to meet and talk with them that day. Even when Jensen and Jared had to leave to head back to Vancouver to continue filming Supernatural, Creation just kept the event rolling with Sandra McCoy and Steve Carlson appearing on stage. When the weekend finally ended, my head was still buzzing from all the excitement of the entire weekend. I was exhausted. I can honestly say that Creation Entertainment made my first Convention an experience that I’ll never truly forget. I can’t wait to attend more of these events. It was certainly worth the trip. The Marriott LAX Hotel was the ideal venue for this event, and the special room rate of $123 per night was great. The venue created a warm, intimate and friendly setting for fans from all other.
Thank you Creation Entertainment.
Kind regards, N.G.
(Adelaide, Australia).
The Supernatural convention in Los Angeles was a bLAST!! It was fun meeting the cast of Supernatural including Jared and Jensen. The Q&A was fun to hear what other fans had to say and Jared and Jensen's answers. Me and my sister met alot of awesome Supernatural fans that day. We went home with a poster of dean and sam that's going up on my wall. See you all next year at the next Los Angeles convention. =)
M A G
Thanks for everything Chris. You were fun! (and of course so was the whole event, just hope you, everybody at Creation and Jensen and Jared (and all the others) had as much fun as I did during the photos(and the whole event). Thanks again!
M.S.
You are by far the best photographer I have ever met at a convention, thanks for a marvelous weekend and I look forward to many creation conventions in the future :)

STAR TREK SECAUCUS, NJ
I would like to thank you for another great convention. This is my wife, daughter and my 4th convention and we have a blast everytime. We like to also say thank you for being a true gentleman and a role model to my daughter and all the other kids and for being so personable. See you at the next convention.
J.
RE: XENA '08 PHOTO OPS
Chris, I have taken many photo ops ever since I started taking them in Chicago and I can say that it is always a pleasure to work with you. Your work is extremely professional and you always have a geniune and postive attutide which is much appreciated. Once again thanks a million for all your hard work.
T.H.
RE: HOLIDAY CHEER!
Wanted to tell you the posters arrived on Wednesday - I had UPS hold them so I could pick them up. They. Look. FANTASTIC!
Thanks to yourself, Adam, Rebecca, and all the wonderful Creation Entertainment team for putting on an incredible event and for what is absolutely the most outstanding service I've seen given to fans - or any type of customer.
I don't say that lightly. I run a support team for our company's entire Messaging infrastructure - as well as a team that supports paying customers for us to host their environments. Customer service and personal touch is absolutely critical to success for us, and we have a large advantage by making the software we stick people on.
You guys are great - I will be recommending to anyone who will listen (message boards, blogs, email, whathaveya) that people are letting themselves down by not making time to attend a Creation event. And if you ever need something "officially" written commending all of you for offering such a great service, all you have to do it let me know and I will provide it.
All the best to you and the team throughout these holidays, and respectfully yours,
- J.E.
RE: SALUTE TO SUPERNATURAL CHICAGO, IL
I wasn't sure who to send this email to, so please pass it around for all to see. I want to thank everyone involved with the Supernatural Convention in Chicago for an amazing weekend! Everything ran so smoothly, and I especially appreciate that there were extra autographs and photo tickets available for those who weren't able to catch them the first time around. Now that's looking out for the fans! The photo line was amazingly fast, even getting in those with provisional tickets. Everyone that wanted a picture, got one. The vendor tables were well stocked and amazing. The two volunteers that passed out the wristbands and sold tickets (wish I could remember their names!) were very professional yet very easy to talk to. And most of all, I appreciate that Creation has the ability to sort of "go with the flow" as far as what the actors and fans seem to want, even if it means loosening the rules a little. It was my first convention and an incredible experience, and I'm definitely planning a return in 2008! And if you guys could get Steve Carlson back that would be terrific. He made a new fan during his performance that Saturday night!
- Thank you so much! C.
To ALL of you wonderful people at Creation Entertainment: you are all incredible and incredibly hard working people. I know that Creation has been in business for over thirty years and I can see why. The organization of this con, (my first con ever) was perfect. The way you handle crowds and keep us excited fans in line, and in lines :) is amazing!
Supernatural is really the only show I watch now. I am not into reality shows, etc. Samantha Ferris and Frederic Lehne on Saturday are two very important characters to the show and the storyline. They also turned out to be two very nice human beings and for them to sit at our tables at the dessert party was surreal to say the least.
Mark Lutz was hilarious and Nicholas Brendan was entertaining.
Steve Carlson was amazing and the way he could play the guitar!!
My friends and I stayed up all night Saturday night camped out in front of the banquet room for the breakfast with Jared and Jensen. We had happened to pick a great table the night before for the dessert party that was real close to the platform where Jared and Jensen stood on Sunday. We wanted that table again and we got it. It was so worth the wait! I don't think I have done an "all-nighter" since High School! LoL!
Jared and Jensen were so very nice, so very funny and being able to see them at the breakfast, then the photo ops, then the Q&A and then one last time for their autographs was magical - an experience that I will treasure forever.
I loved every minute of this convention and would I want to do another Creation con for Supernatural? Yes - in a heartbeat!
Thank you again for a wonderful, wonderful time and memory that I will carry forever!
- Sincerely, J.M.
I want to say thank you for the SPN show in Chicago. It was magnificent, and completely worth the money I spent to travel to US. Jared and Jensen were great, but for me the highlight was Steve Carlson. His show was incredible, and I thought his panel was the best one! I will come again next year if he is coming there. Any chance you'll get him for next year's show too??? Please???
- Sincerely, C.
I can't thank you and your staff enough for an amazing and awesome weekend!!! Myself and a friend flew all the way from London to attend , my only con experience before this had been the Supernatural con 'Asylum' here in England in May. I have to say this was so much smoother, more organised and a far more incredible experience.
All your staff were so patient , funny and polite and more than willing to take time out to help lost Brits, the seating arrangements were perfect and the queuing system meant there were no queues!! I came such a long way with the hopes of having a great weekend but you and your team delivered more than i ever could have hoped. Thank you all so so much from the bottom of my Supernaturally obsessed heart!!!!
Am hoping to attend next year too, as i'm sure you will again put on an amazing show for us! Many thanks and take care.
- C.P.
Last weekend, I attended your Chicago "Salute to Supernatural, Smallville & Buffy & Angel", my firstever fan convention, and I really enjoyed myself. I was impressed at how smoothly everything seemed to run -- especially on Sunday (which seemed to be the busiest day of the event). You really seem to have these kind of events down to science. The only suggestion that I have to improve the event for next year is to have separate lines for questions for Jensen and Jared during the Q&A sessions. This way, Jensen and Jared could answer questions only intended for them -- particularly when they swap turns on stage. Just a minor thought. I also loved all of the cool merchandise and banners created for the convention. Thanks again for a great convention experience!
- M.
I'd like to say Thank You - to the staff of Creation, the awesome guests and fans that makes last week's Supernatural Convention so great. My english is not very good, I just can't express how excited and happy I am...anyway the weekend was the highlight of my entire trip to the US, I definately will come again next year. Thanks again and have a good day!
- E.
Just wanted to let you know what a fantastic weekend I had at the Chicago Supernatural Convention last weekend. It was my first convention and it totally blew me away! Jared and Jensen were even more gorgeous and sexy in real life then they are on screen and the photo ops I will treasure forever. Roll on 2008 - keep up the good work guys and thanks to Creation for making the event so much fun for all the fans!
- N.Sheffield, UK
I just wanted to thank you for the excellent work you did over the two days. It was a long weekend, we were all so tired (guests and fans alike) - I know I was jetlagged and could hardly stay on my feet, as I came from Ireland with my friend. You did such a good job getting things done, staying calm and, from what we could see, staying in good spirits! You were warm and friendly, which put us at ease, even though we were terrified at meeting all the guests! I look like a deer caught in the headlights in my picture with Jensen, but the quality is excellent and that's down to you.
- J.
Hey guys! First off, thank you for making this past weekend the BEST weekend of the year (and quite possibly my life, LOL)!
- C.C.
This was my first "Creation" event and I want to say it was wonderful. I've already signed up for next years event and I'm glad to see it has been expanded from 2 days to 3 days. That was TOO much fun packed into 2 days.....us older folks need our rest.
- T. S.
Just wanted to say thanks for the great convention this past weekend in Chicago. It was our first one, and we had a blast! Everything ran smoothly and was better than expected. We had an awesome experience. Looking forward to the next one! Thanks so much!
- C.
I'm sitting here in the hotel room on our last night here thinking back over the entire weekend, and the excitement still hasn't worn off! I just wanted to drop you an e-mail to say that this weekend was just INCREDIBLE! It was one of, if not the, most well organized and planned out conventions I have ever been to! It was my first convention with Creation, but it definitely won't be the last.
Thank you for all of your hard work along with the staff and volunteers to make this convention so great for all of the fans and getting both Jared and Jensen here! It was a weekend I'll never forget and I look forward to next year!
Thank you again for organizing such a well done, fantastic convention!

I just wanted to say thank you! You did an amazing job with the photo ops. I usually don't like getting my picture taken, but took the plunge this weekend because how often do you get that kind of opportunity. I am extremely happy with the way my pictures turned out and that I was able to get them right away (sort of :)). I also heard how helpful you were with my friend Matt who somehow missed his picture with Jensen. It was really nice that you stuck around past the time your originally planned to try and help sort the mishap out. If I attend any other Creation conventions I hope you are the photographer because you do an awesome job!
Thanks again from a very satisfied camera phobe, L.
You and your team should be proud of yourselves for pulling off an excellent event. (Meaning, the Chicago Supernatural Salute.) I'm still suffering from lack of sleep -- as I suspect you are -- but I had an excellent time and wanted to offer my kudos. First of all, all your staffers were delightful. Friendly, helpful, organized. Chris (the photographer) in particular I'd like to adopt. Chris's work was awesome. Well worth the price. I also commend you for keeping the schedule on-track when it easily could have...well, not been. The only "I wish that hadn't happened" I can mention is Saturday night. Having the dessert party run so late, and then having to get up so early Sunday morning -- that was painful. The hotel was beautiful, well laid-out for con purposes, and their food was fantastic. Excellent choice! Kudos to all of you for pulling off a great event. I enjoyed it tremendously!
- C.D.
The pics both came so wonderfully. I'll treasure them always... Thanks again.

I was fortunate enough to attend the recent Supernatural convention in Chicago this weekend as a gold pass holder, and want to thank you and your staff for a most fantastic experience. I can imagine the superhuman effort involved in coordinating this event and all your hard work showed! I was very impressed by how organized everything was, and although the Samantha Ferris/Fredric Lehne/ Nicholas Brendon autographs event ran a bit over time, the entire weekend ran very smoothly!
My friend and I were especially impressed by the timeliness of the Jensen Ackles/Jared Padalecki photo ops session, as the lines were enormous but you folks managed to get everything completed as scheduled, a feat that I am certain the actors were most appreciative of. Also, the awards presentation to/from the Lt. Colonel (?...I'm sorry, I've forgotten his name/title) was a rare treat to witness. And I needn't add how much we all ENJOYED having both Jensen and Jared at the Sunday morning breakfast - thank you!!!
My friend and I continued to marvel at how well this weekend went, as well as how thoroughly we enjoyed being there. Although we haven't booked attendance for next year's Chicago event yet, we certainly do hope that we will be able to attend, and as gold ticket holders.
Again, CONGRATULATIONS.
Regards, M.M.
On behalf of Fandom Rocks, I want to thank you for giving us the opportunity to have a presence in Chicago this weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere at the event, and everything went as smoothly as can be expected for a first-time attendee.
Every Creation staff member I spoke with was helpful and accommodating. We were able to meet many fans who were new to Fandom Rocks or only knew a little bit about us, which was exactly what we were hoping for.
We look forward to future opportunities to collaborate with Creation Entertainment.
Sincerely, D.S.
RE: FARCAPE FINAL FRELLIN' FAREWELL BURBANK, CA
I was at the Farscape 2007 convention in November for the first time and it was amazing. I was very happy to discover that there was going to be another convention next year. I know it's far too early to say for sure but is Claudia Black going to be on the guest list for next years convention? She's a brilliant and versatile actress and it would be really great if she was a guest next year. Finally I just want to say that you put on a brilliant convention and I look forward to seeing what wonderful tricks you have up your sleeves for next year.
- T.T.
Hello! Thank you for another great Farscape convention! This year was my second time attending, and I had just as much fun this year as I did last year! I am so glad you are having another in 2008 - I am definitely planning to attend!
I read on the 2008 Farscape convention site that you are asking for guest requests - I'd love to see everybody again who was there this year - plus Francesca Buller (please!?!) and Claudia Black (please!?!). I would also love to see Virginia Hey, David Kemper, Andrew Prowse, Ricky Manning. And last but not least, if there is any way possible - a visit by Brian Hensen!
Ben Browder's performance is one of the biggest highlights of the weekend - would it be possible for you to sell a DVD of his performance again this year like you did last year?
Just one bit of feedback for next year - would it be possible to schedule more time for Ben onstage, or schedule fewer things after him so he can run long if he wants to (he seems to want to! ;-)) without putting the rest of your schedule out of whack? I would love to see his time on stage extended if you can, and perhaps move one of the other Sunday guests onto another day so Sunday isn't so full. It's an exciting day, but it was a bit overwhelming to try and attend all of the events on Sunday.
Thanks again for a truly wonderful event! See you next year!
- P.W.
I had such a great time at the Farscape Convention this year, and I just wanted to thank you all so much for being in this business, which enables us to see and interact with the people who've changed our lives for the better. Of course, it was also such a pleasure to reunite with old friends and to meet new ones. I am so looking forward to 2008's second Final Frelling Farewell (may there be many more!)
If I have one quibble it's with the number of music videos that were shown this year. Watching the fan videos, both as "fillers" and as introductions for the honored guests, is one of the singular pleasures of attending this convention, and i do hope that next year you guys decide to show a few more. Not every Farscape video is a work of genius, y'know. But most of 'em are way fun to watch.
Thank you all also for showing my video "the end of the world". This was such a great thrill - to watch something I made displayed on a big screen in front of like-minded people. I'm happy for the gift certificate, but it's not the reason I enter the vid contest. I vid for the sheer love of Farscape, and would enter the contest for the recognition alone.
Take care all of you and see you next year!
- L.G.
I have just returned from the 2007Conventon - and my first visit to the US. I have to tell you what an outstanding time my husband and I have had. This is the first convention we have attended and didnt know what to expect but the whole thing was a blast, Your staff were very professional and helpful - even when i lost my breakfast ticket and was nearly in tears, but all ended well. We will definitely be signing up for next year and cant wait.
I started vidding this year and sent one of my first music videos in but never thought it had a chance. It was shown before Ben came on stage. Thank you so much - this just topped off the whole thing for me. What a fab experience. thank you, thank you, thank you!
See you next year. - S.
I did attend the Farscape convention, and thank you very much for a wonderful event! It was my first convention, and finances willing, not my last. Really an excellent experience. I was sorry to have missed out on the 2006 con, which sounded like a truly special party with Signal Room playing. I also really enjoyed the fan panels - the Scapecast, fanfic panel and vidders panel, as well as the costume and talent contests.
- L. I.
I just wanted to tell you that I had a great time at the Farscape Con over the weekend. Each year I think this will be my last, and then I have a fantastic time, and decide to come back again. So thank you for all your hard work in making this con so enjoyable.
I also wanted to say that the volunteers are just amazing. They’re polite and work extremely hard, yet they have fun with us too. So it never feels like we’re little kids being corralled by the grownups. It’s like they’re fans too, and they’re just trying to keep things orderly. Which they really do.
As usual, the guests were all great. Ben was amazing as always. I’m sure you know he’s the big draw, and he doesn’t disappoint. He must leave exhausted every year. And the cabaret was great this year. It was kind of, well, lame last year, to be honest. So I almost didn’t buy a ticket. But this year everyone came prepared and they really put on a great show. My favorite was Anthony’s completely improv-ed totally ridiculous song that was just hilarious.
My only small complaint is that there was never any food in the convention center, so we ended up having to get carryout from The Grille, which is a pain in the neck. The hotel, in general, seemed fussier than The Hilton, though that room they gave us ended up being really nice.
Anyway, thanks again for a great con. I hope a lot of people come next year so you don’t end up regretting having a 2nd final con!
- A.P.
I attended the Farscape Farewell convention last weekend. I would like to thank CreationEnt for an absolutely wonderful time. I met amazing people and was able to meet some of the stars. Thank you for a truly wonderful weekend. I will be attending next year in California and hope that Claudia Black can be apart of it.
Sincerly, B.S.
Didn't I hear you say you hoped to have Fran next year? Yes!!! Please!!! We missed her terribly last year and this year. Thank you! I had a great time at the con this year, too. I bought gold tickets for next year. Haven't done that the last couple of years. I loved all the great shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, mugs, hats........I bought one of everything! They were beautifully done. I love the embroidery on things. Ya'll did a great job. Gary was so funny with the auction. I loved it, although I didn't manage to come home with anything from the auction this time, it was still fun.
Thanks! F.
Hello and thank you for a wonderful frelling convention. As a convention newbie, i was impressed with how everything ran. The merchandise was wonderful. (Andy's shirt was fantastic!) The cast was gracious and entertaining. Their talent is amazing. You asked us to send you our '08 gust request. Francesca Buller, Claudia Black, Andrew Prowse and Kent McCord would be on that request list. Of course Ben is at the top of the list, I was so struck by him. I have already reserved my gold seat and will see you next year! Thank you for a great convention.
Respectfully, D.B.
I just wanted to thank you for putting together such a fantastic convention- I am a newbie to Farscape and attended the event on a whim. It was easily one of the best weekends I've had in years. Thanks again for the great weekend!
- N.H.
I'm back from Farscape 2007 and have finally gotten a good night's sleep, so I wanted to let you know that I had a GREAT time!! I've been to all of the Farscape Burbank Conventions and already have signed up for 2008. I'm thrilled that Ben is (hopefully) coming back, so please try to get Claudia for 2008.
Sincerely, B.H.
Thank you so much for another great convention. You did a fantastic job and the evidence that you really make the effort to please diverse personalities was always in view. It's not an easy job. Brilliant program, the cast always gracious and kind. (Please continue to invite David Franklin...he's like our mascot!) The clothes continued to be fantastic (LOVE the classic Farscape logo)! Hope to see Andrew Prowse as a guest next year.
With respect and gratitude, N.
Hello to you wonderful folks at Creation, and Thank You for such a memorable convention! This was my first convention as i'm new to Farscape, and after attending this convention, I immediately reserved my gold seat for next year.
Since i'm so late coming to Farscape, being able to attend this convention was wonderful and I look forward to meeting as many of the cast as humanly possible so t the convention you guys said to e-mail our '08 guest requests, and I'd dearly love to see as many as the following as can be invited (just in case '08 will be the last year, which would be sad).

Paul Goddard - Stark
Virginia Hey - Zhaan
Tammy Macintosh - Jool
Rebecca Riggs - Grayza
Claudia Black - Aeryn Sun
Raelee Hill - Sikozu
Thanks again guys, look forward to seeing you again next year

RE: CUSTOMER SERVICE
Thank you so much once again for Creation's prompt attention to a problem. Don't know how you manage to give such great personal attention to everyone when you are all so obviously extremely busy.
lt has been great to put faces to names when we have had the pleasure of meeting some of you at the Las Vegas Star Trek Conventions where we have always received a speedy response to any problems - including the time my neighbour managed to lose one of her autographed photos amongst the hundreds of menus in the Hilton Paradise Cafe!
Regards, S.F.
