Agent Bristow

I attended Sunday this year and I have to say it was the most relaxed event I've been to in years! Everything ran smoothly, the crew did a great job and all the guests I met were lovely! I couldn't have been happier with the experience. I also bought some friends with me this year to their first event and they had a great time too! One of the things I like most about SM is they will always take on feedback from attendees and every year they make improvements, thank you so much to everyone that makes these events possible. Looking forward to next year already!

Ben Barnes What an absolutely lovely (and very dreamy) man! I was really excited to meet him as I'm a big fan of The Punisher and Westworld and I couldn't have had a better experience. I met him to get his autograph first and was lucky enough to chat to him for a few minutes and he has so kind and also happy to take a selfie with me. He was also great in his photo shoot, I saw him do lots of great poses with everyone. I asked if I could give him a hug for the picture and he was more than happy to oblige. The photo looks brilliant and I was on cloud nine after meeting him. His panel was really good too, I only wish it could've been longer! But it was free so I'm certainly not complaining. He was my favourite guest this year and I'd love it if he came back for another event, I could never have too many pictures with him! Tom Ellis I met Tom for a photo, I would've liked his autograph too but ran out of money! Although it was a brief interaction he was really sweet and was happy to hug me for our picture which looks fantastic. Another guest I'd love to see again someday! Aimee Garcia I had a photo with Aimee too and she was really nice. She seems like a lovely lady and is very good with the fans. Brendan Fraser I only met Brendan briefly for a photo but I was very glad I did as in my opinion he's a legend. He shook my hand and said nice to meet you and the photo is really great! Lennie James Lennie seems like such a nice man, I wish I got his autograph now as he was so friendly in the photo shoot, he shook my hand to greet me and ask how I was and shook my hand again after we had the photo taken and thanked me for coming. I think he's not only a superb actor but also a gentleman. Matthew Lillard As a big fan of the Scream movies I was very excited to meet Matthew. I got him to sign my ghostface funko pop and he was happy to personalise it for me. I spoke to him briefly as well and he seemed really nice.

The crew did an excellent job this year, they were all very helpful. A special shout out to the guy running photo B on Sunday, I had three photo op's there and his queue management was fantastic and I really appreciated that he let me join the queue for Aimee Garcia's AM shoot as I had a clash with her PM shoot.

Just posted mine on Instagram if anyone want's a looksie... https://www.instagram.com/caz_list/

Excellent guest! He's awesome in The Punisher and Westworld, I'll definitely be meeting him!

Highs The fantastic guests I met, they were all lovely. I won't go into too much detail here as I already have in other threads but will just reiterate that SM got some great guests for the event that genuinely seemed to enjoy meeting their fans. The MVP's being Tom Welling, Rose McIver and Rahul Kohli who as far as I could tell took time to speak to everyone that went to get their autographs. The amazing crew who did so well under what must have been a lot of pressure at times! All of the crew members I spoke to were great, special shout outs to the lady running Rose McIver's autograph queue who was friendly and informative. The guy running photo area C was brilliant, explained to everyone clearly what was happening and had a sense of humour, and the lady on photo area E who kindly helped me out when I had a clash. Sorry I didn't catch anyone's names but thank you to you all! The layout was great, photo shoot areas were spaced out well and there was plenty of room to move around on the ground floor to browse the stalls. The queue for entry in the morning was run very well, didn't take long to get into the building at all which I was concerned about as I couldn't get there until after 9. Diamond pass collection was also quick and easy. Lows As many have mentioned here already, the photo areas could really do with some microphones for the crew and/or large whiteboards to write the current batch numbers that have been called. I felt terrible for the crew that were shouting to get the information across but I still couldn't hear them as there were so many people in front of me which made the areas very noisy. The heat! Not something SM have control over I know but the air conditioning was lacking in some areas and as someone who doesn't deal well with the heat I was a little uncomfortable at times. Was lucky I bought my hand held fan with me! A few of the 'smaller' photo shoots let everyone queue at once rather than calling batch numbers which I was a little peeved about as I had batch 1 or 2 but ended up right near the back of the queue and there was no way all those people in front of me had the same or a lower batch than I did. Please call all photo shoots in batch order even for guests with a 20-30 minute slot, it really helps especially if people have a potential clash. My day overall was brilliant though and I want to thank SM again for an amazing show. I will defintely be back next year!

I had some wonderful interactions with the guests I met, I couldn't be happier with them. I had a diamond pass for Tom Welling as I've been a fan of his for such a long time and always hoped he's attend a con someday. When I told him this he seemed genuinely humbled and was really kind to me. We had a brief chat about his trip and he thanked me for coming and shook my hand. I was on cloud nine after that. He couldn't have been nicer. When I met him again later for the photoshoot he remembered me and asked how I was doing. The photo came out great, I look like the cat that got the cream in it and his smile is something else! Think I have a girl crush on Rose McIver now, she was so sweet. I was waiting in her auto queue for a while as she was taking time to chat to everyone. It was totally worth it though as I had a brilliant chat with her. When I got to her she shook my hand and said "Hi, I'm Rose" which is just adorable. We then talked about izombie and her time at the con, it was a fantastic experience. And she even complemented me on my blouse and remembered me later in the photoshoot. She was a perfect guest for an event like this! Rahul Kohli was also lovely, I told him how much I like his character in izombie and how I think he's the funniest person on twitter. We talked for a while about some of his recent tweets and about izombie too. He's such a funny guy but also really down to earth and kind. He also remembered me later at his photoshoot. Zachary Levi was lovely, I only met him for a photo but it was a really nice experience. He said hi and asked me how I was and thanked me after the photo was taken.(and I got a hug in the photo) Wish I could've got his autograph but unfortunately I ran out of funds, hope he comes back in the future! Jason Momoa seems so cool, and he looks amazing! I only met him very briefly for a photo and I was batch 19 of 20 and the shoot overran so it was a bit rushed. He still said hi to me though and when I thanked him after our photo was taken he smiled at me and gave me a nod which was nice.

Some awesome pics in this thread! I only attended today but managed to get five photoshoots and three autographs, I've posted them on twitter so will link to them below;

Another amazing guest, thank you SM! Have booked a photo op already and got batch 2! Can't wait to meet Zach!

Only going Sunday this year. Have a Tom Welling diamond pass so will be getting an auto and photo with him. I've also booked photo ops with Rahul Kohli and Rose McIver and plan on getting their autos too. Also planning on booking a photo op with Jason Momoa and possibly Sam Neil too providing they don't sell out before pay day on Wednesday!

Awesome guest SM thank you, I wasn't gonna book anymore photo ops but might have to make an exception for Sam! He's brilliant in Jurassic Park and Peaky Blinders!

Great guest SM, and a very good price too. Might have to get a photo with her, she was great in Blade Runner and Ace Ventura.

Such an awesome guest, thank you SM! Rahul is great in izombie and he's also hilarious on twitter. Have booked a photo already and will definitely get his autograph too, can't wait to meet him!

Awesome guest, thank you SM! Will definately book a photo op with her when I get paid again. Will most likely get her autograph too. Would love to see some more izombie guests to keep her company if possible. Rahul Kohli and Robert Buckley would be brilliant guests.

Booked my first ever diamond pass yesterday, so excited to meet Tom, been a fan of his since I started watching Smallville back in 2003! Thank you SM!
