  1. Well I did try looking at going ot Paddington first then on to Brighton, but it's still out of my budget, I'll catch the next LFCC Summer next year. Hope everyone gets things sorted and enjoys the show.
  2. If you change at Gatwick it takes just over 2. That's the route I used to use for Reading festival. :-) With respect, I checked all routes on the trainline site, even putting in via Gatwick and it's over 3hrs inc 3 changes, via North Camp & Reigate and costs more! I checked on thetrainline site and tried all kinds of routes. In fact afaik even driving would take about 2hrs. I can take the train to London for £17 return and get there in about 30mins. Ah well best book my tickets for Joshcon!
  3. Takes just over 3hrs on train from reading and costs at least £35 so definitely out for me Shame I wanted to do my zombie schoolgirl for George A Romero!
  4. And I was going to pop down to London for this, it only costs me £17 return on the train Brighton's a nightmare to get to from Reading.
  5. Pinkflamingo I won't be able to see him then as I'm going to a local con during the day and then I'm DJing with a burlesque troop in the evening. Anyway keep up the good work and remember haters gonna hate! I regulary dress when I DJ and I've been asked to compere and DJ for a local charity festival as well as being the opening act for Pride 2 years running. If I ever see you either at a con or wherever I'mm make sure I stick some cash in your bucket.
  6. Hello people, I am testing a cosplay outfit this weekend at a local Con. I'm fairly certain I'm going to LFCCW seeing as Mr Romero is coming. Soooooo...... what do you think of this idea? I found this thing on eBay, it's a schoolgirl outfit but it's like a long tunic/t-shirt dress, I'm adding a mask, wig, blood splattered white stockings and going to splatter the outfit with fake blood. The thing is I'm not sure what shoes to wear! I have got an old pair of boots that would bother getting blood on, but I've also got a pair of ladies flats (I'm trans) Both are comfortable so that's not an issue, but which do you think would be best? This is the outfit with the boots & shoes: (not me in the pic!) This is the mask & wig: Also if anyone wants to add thier questions/ideas/handy tips, please feel free

  8. is there a sub forum for LFCC winter 2015?
  9. I see he's coming to Reading station in October, I go there every day around 4:30pm so I'll drop some cash in his bucket if he's there
  10. Although on eBay the other day I saw a photo signed by Eddie Izzard with a guy's name on it - they were asking £50 for it too!
  11. If you've got a ticket for Sunday I'll meet you in trap 2 of the gents lavatory at Olympia station and slip you something for it!
  12. Thanks David, means a lot to have someone to say that. I know I'm used to 'dressing up' with being trans* but this was the first time I've stepped into the realm of cosplay. There were some awesome outfits & I was nervous that I would be laughed at. Anyway I'll be going again next year. Not sure what as, seriously thinking of trying to stave off my fast approaching 50's doing a lolita, kwaii or Japanese maid/schoolgirl type outfit
  13. One thing that hasn't been mentioned is if you close the doors to enable the air con to work better it's easier to spot people entering. Then the staff at the doors can check tickets/hand stamps, some people walked straight in ahead of me on the Sunday and nobody challenged them or looked at the hand stamp. But as I work in event security myself I do understand people that maybe have been in & out several times are recognised by the staff, even still if you have a stamp it doesn't hurt to show it :)
  14. Yes that's right, can you post it here for me please? Only got a few LOL that's a rather surreal photo! Thanks
  15. Yes that's right, can you post it here for me please? Only got a few
  16. So long as you enjoyed it that's the main thing so has your dress arrived yet? I'd be having serious words with the seller if that happened to me. @Twiga Amazon have some good ones, or just Google it but select 'results from UK' hth I've been trying to find Vala's leather outfit but too expensive or small!
  17. While waiting for the SyFy fancam, there were 2 guys in suits and wrestling masks in front of me. Nice chaps but no idea who they were meant to be lol Also surprised to find out the alien queen was actually a lady! (giving me ideas now lol)
  18. I'm sorry I take your comments as rather rude & insulting to be honest. First you say you were only there for the one day and then call people who did the same not "real" fans. Can you explain how you can say you are dedicated folks considering you only went for one day? What about people who have jobs/children/commitments? How would they manage to go all weekend? I myself worked at the local student union from 7pm to midnight on the friday then was back working for the Next sale at 3:30am til midday. (I work for a crowd management/door security firm) So no way would I have been able to go for all 3 days, that's why I went Sunday. Not everyone can afford to book into a hotel for 3 days, some people might decide at the last minute to go to the con when a particular guest is announced and only want to go the day they are there. For me and my g/f to visit the con cost us £35 train fare and £32.50 for tickets. We also spent about £100 for our cosplay outfits. For someone who only works part time that is a big chunk of my salary. It was our first con and I was into the cosplay, my g/f is into the artwork for the comics etc. We might not be 'dedicated folks' as you call us, but our money is as good as yours.
  19. Not a surreal moment, but Ray Parks cutin front of me waiting for the SyFy fancam TWICE! second time he appologised, shook my hand and said I looked fabulous! Also the Aliens/Preditors/Marines cut in as well, but they looked amazing so I didn't mind. Only thing was my g/f was off with the camera so couldn't get any pics with them or Ray.
  20. so just like last weekend then? lol
  21. and another thing! make sure if you say tickets are not transferable tighten up the policing of it, there were plenty of people on here and on FB/eBay offering tickets. I got threatened by someone when mentioned I'd reported them
