Don't you worry, Jonesy, Kathy just wishes she was as cool as you.

I bet she doesn't have half the following you do. I saw her on the list too. But there's no competition!

Motor City Comic Con is neither the best advertised, nor the best organized con. I go regularly just because it's the only vagurly Sci-Fi related con I'm aware of in Detroit but that doesn't mean it's all that good. I remember visiting your table but I'm sorry not many other people did. I was glad to see you though so Thanks for coming.

Dear Jonesy,
After reading your blog I'm not surprised that you are a writer. Your style is very natural and warm. Please tell us more about your writing. You seem very comfortable. Have you visited the forum? Have you participated in any threads?

I've been enjoying your increased presence on the show.

Take care,
Hatusu

I MET Mr. Belding (Dennis Haskins)! Last year he came to my school and talked about Saved by the Bell. Other than him (and yourself of course) I'm sorry to say that I only recognized two other names on that list... but if I was not a poor student I would have you call my brother in a heartbeat, I think he'd absolutely love that. So stay on that list because one day I will no longer be a poor student and I will send my brother a phone greeting from you for his b-day :)

It's my birthday today, well for another half an hour, but I'm pretty sure it's to late to arrange to have you call me. Sigh. Perhaps next year.

How long does it take for the request to go through until you can make the call?

All those questions are answered on the website. It can be anytime in the next seven days.

Gary,

THANK YOU on behalf of ChimaeraCon! We cannot yet afford live media guests, but this might be doable...if not for this March, then for 2007 or for fundraisers.

Correction...make that "media guest appearances" rather than "live media guests". It would be diffucult to get dead guests. *grin*

You are just TOO funny. Your experience in Detroit reminds of the Chiller Theatre conventions in NJ that I admit I go to on a regular basis. My friend and I refer to it as the DP con (as in the Dead People's convention), because they keep signing up guests that, quite frankly, we thought were dead. But then you start thinking, wow, I could meet someone I used to watch on tv when I was a kid (which is quite a while ago) and then you meet them and like Kathy Garver, well, they look, well, not too good. It's kind of sad, but I keep going. But they also get lots of very alive people (like yourself) who seem to have a good time - sorry you didn't. Come to NJ and I'll be sure to stop by and say hello, bring you coffee (I've been known to do that) or whatever, and tell you how damn funny you are, cause you are.
Hey, maybe you could get me Kathy Garver's autograph?

That was a great read after a hectic work day, picked me back up. Soon as I steal somebody's credit card, my boyfriend could certainly use a surprise call...he tries to do the "Chevron Seven Locked" lines in an American accent (he's Kiwi), but instead sounds like a drugged up robot.

Hey Jonsey! LMAO over your last 3 blogs-- you funny guy! Haven't been to a convention in years but, if I ever find out you're coming to Denver, I'll come and hang out at your table and let you entertain me all day... :) ... susan

Jonesy! I have been a devoted SG fan for years. I can't afford to go to those cons, sorry. I am a mom of 4 and it just doesn't fit into the budget. "Instead of food this week, kids, we'll go see Gary Jones. Who's Gary Jones? How dare you! For that, I'll take away your jackets for a week and you will have to watch Season 7, eight hours a day for a month!" Jonesy (that's my maiden name BTW), I have always enjoyed your character on the show. I am glad when they gave you a name and started giving you actual lines. If I could go to the con, then I'd visit your table and tell you how many people I know who actually know who you are... You have a great fan base and people watch you, know you and help pay your bills. Hang in there Jonesy and keep on saying "Sir, incoming message from SG (X)." and all the other great lines you have.

Annie, American Fan, military wife...

I got to meet ya at this past year's DragonCon and it was awesome. At first I thought you weren't going to be there on my day but as my friends and I were outside getting some air (cause man that convention was crowded) I overheard someone say "another Stargate guy" had arrived. I nearly knocked them down asking who.

You're definitly a good writer, and a funny guy, keep up the blogging!

Yeah, it was great meeting you at the various cons through the year, Jonesy.

Though I have to ask one question, how the HECK do you remember meeting fans at cons months after you first meet them? Is it a gift? Is it a curse? Is it something you developed from all your years of standup?

I should explain, that my online group of friends usually get together once a year to attend a con or three, plus we attend other cons solo..., and without FAIL every single one of the group says, "Yup. Jonesy yelled, "I'VE MET YOU BEFORE!" when we were getting our chevron guy pics stuff."

I mean, our Chevron Guy Sightings were taking place at assorted Vulkons, Dragoncon and multiple Creation Cons. I honestly thought they were lying... ok... telling a tall tale until you did that to me two or three times this past year.

It's scary, Jonesy, so can you tell us your secret on how you remember fans? Was it because we were all wearing our Kathy Garver Fan Club Shirts in Cleveland?

And for those looking for other scifi conventions in their area, I suggest doing a search (aside to Lauren, there are two long running scifi conventions in the Detroit area, Confusion in January (presently in Troy) and Conclave in October (in Lansing)

Do you have people that remember you from sliders. Dang, I miss that show.. The first two seasons.

I would like to seem them do an episode where your caracter is more in the fore front. Maybe an episode where your caracter has to save the day.

You've really got to come to an Aussie con! We'd love to see you!

Oh and my mate and me are dying to know... Walter is always behind that desk, does he get toilet breaks or does he keep a pee bucket under the desk?

Gary, can you explain to me what a "telephonic appearance" is? Will I see a little version of you dancing on my telephone keys, like a leprachaun?

Bwahaha! Gotta love Kathy Garver.

So, I just watched the epi where Walter finally get's his name, and it took me a second to realize that that was the first time anyone bothered to say it out loud.

You know, you have a bit of a double over in Atlantis. Chuck Campbell has been "Technician" for over a season, despite being in just about every single episode.
