andyfilm_1 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I've packed my man bag for this Con already and check it on a weekly basis that I've got everything! My man bag contains: Entry Tickets Old store photoshoot tickets Printed E-Tickets (for insurance!) 15 Autograph holders Printed directions to Olympia from Barron's Court Portable charger (will be charging this again the day before) Tube map Bottled water. Have you guys got your bag/pack ready yet? :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lois Lawson Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I just need to buy a couple more photoshoot tickets and then find out how to get to Olympia. When it was at EC, i just got the tube from King Cross straight to Earls Court and then walk. Is Olympia within walking distance? Not been there before 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tompain100 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Packing over 3 weeks in advance for a weekend in London? This is night before job. I can't commit a pair of boxers to a bag for that amount of time... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collectorbob Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Nah I pack the night before. Take a manbag/backpack with tickets, water, map/photoshoot schedules as I am only going for the photoshoots but you get an autograph as part of the Robert Englund diamond package, so that's all good. I can't afford all the good things which are happening this year. I regret not meeting MJF, but the other guests are just as exciting. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicAvatar Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I'm tracking my (rapidly growing) costs on an Excel document and keeping notes of photoshoots I have to buy. That's about it for now until the schedule comes out (at which point I start planning my day with military precision). Apart from that, I don't start putting stuff together until a day or two before, but I know where everything is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collectorbob Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 By far the trickiest day for me will be Saturday, so will have to pay attention to the schedule. Fri and Sun are fine as none of the guests (apart from the ones I already have) are diamond, so photo shoots should be a breeze. They should be fine for Sat, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maegurwen Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) Nope, I won't be packing till at least five days before the event. ( Well everything except food. That will probably be bought the day before the event and packed then) I've packed my man bag for this Con already and check it on a weekly basis that I've got everything!

collectorbob Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 My list (bar the portable charger) is virtually the same, though travelling from Basingstoke, its a breeze really. I haven't fully decided what time I'm gonna travel, though.... I plan to be at olympia at least 1 hour before the doors open, though with a gold pass and dependant on the schedule, wondering if this is entirely necessary. I will look at the schedule and make my mind up as with a gold pass, no need to turn up early, particularly on Fri as the guests I want to meet aren't diamond guests so having a gold pass should (barring clashes), make things relatively straightforward and then I can go to the hotel and prepare for Saturday and Sunday. Sunday is when I meet my diamond guest, Rob Englund. Saturday I am meeting Sigourney Weaver and Christopher Lloyd. SOOO excited. Bring it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike1981 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Iv started getting everything ready very similar to your list as well, its my first con I'm going on Saturday & travelling down from Ipswich on the morning itself so hopefully ill have a good run down & find my way to the Olympia okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collectorbob Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 My first con too Mike. I am a little nervous if truth be told and am not a fan of crowds. Queues I have no issue with. However, I've looked at youtube videos of the 2014 convention and what it was like inside the convention hall and it didn't look that bad, certainly enough space to move around and not feel too cramped. Should be fine. With a gold pass, it should be a breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collectorbob Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Sounds like a heavy backpack. Just for those who may not be aware, autograph holders should be of archival quality and made from polyester. It is what my autograph holders are made from and my autographs thus far, have benefitted. Sorry if everyone is already aware, just trying to be helpful.

Stenun Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I have a hard-cover document holder in which I've started putting things; tickets, photos and cash. Other than that, my bag is still packed with geeky goodness (lightsaber, GL power rings, dice, etc) from the last Con. :-D As for clothes, etc, that'll have to wait until the last minute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
