One question - Why do the talks not start till after midday?  Why can't they start earlier?

[sweatybobby1]

Any chance of getting a few more dealers at this one?? OH, and whats the chances of the guests that didn't make the last one attending this time?

They like to keep the morning free for signing.

Yes more dealers. PLEASE!!!!!!!!

[mrsclairecarter]

cool  

[jedicouncil]

more dealers definately gets my backing.  I had to rush in out as quickly as possible but a couple of the guests were on breaks and there wasnt much to do whilst waiting for them to return

[jamie1138]

wasn't much to do...?
if there was something to do,would you stick around and do it?

no disrespect jamie, but you missed the point of my post.  I had already said that I had to rush in and out as quickly as possible as I had somewhere else to be.  However when I had to wait 20 minutes for two of the guests I wanted to meet to come back from a break (not that I am complaining about them having a break), it would have been nice to have had more stalls etc to look around as there is only so many times you walk around the ones that were there before gettign bored.

Also, for anybody getting there early (which I normally do), once they had gotton their autographs and walked around the stalls there would have been little to do inbetween talks.

[masterskywalker 48]

Yes more to do.

[jamie1138]

thanks for your reply,jedicoucil...
so you'd like more to do between talks?
how about a quiz?
like a game show,with really good exclusive prizes?
we were up for something along those lines for the last event but bottled it at the last minute.
perhaps if enough people were interested?

sounds great, Id definately be up for something like that

[Drebble Darkwing]

Great idea Jamie.

[sweatybobby1]

What about some kind of auction?

[jamie1138]

groovy.
well,that's two possible contestants...

[Dannyboy]

An auction is a good idea, how about something like a cast a crew clothing Collectables from a present or past guest (please god not an ebay fake!)

As for the Q&A's, I quite liked that they were midday as im sure most of those that arrived early appreciated getting their posters and toys signed by the guests early.

And id like to see Kes Green and Zac Kohen at ED18 too, it looks like both have Star Wars playing cards
