dwarfbabe Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Were there any flyers with the dates on for the next CM Glasgow? And if there were, did they include any early guest announcements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comawhite Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 From talking with Jason it's going to be late August again. No dates were mentioned from what I saw on the Sat. Theres plenty of time for them to book it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraserscotland Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 At the end yesterday they said it will be the 28th and 29th of August next year :) ...we're going to be buying the pinapple earlier next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space_cowboy Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Shame they usually do 2 Glasgow ones a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarfbabe Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 Thanks ComwWhite and fraserscotland. I can put the dates in my diary now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Scapegoat Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Last year was the only year with 2 Glasgow dates, and the experiment kinda failed, so Glasgow's back to one date per year for the foreseeable future. Which means that we have an entire year to get our act together, and PR the hell out of the event, and I have an entire year to sort out the aftershow party :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted August 31, 2009 Moderators Share Posted August 31, 2009 Just to give a little perspective - London Film and Comic Con actually started on a schedule of 2 events per year, but they decided they could do a lot bigger and better if they made it 1 a year. So when they did the same with Glasgow, it certainly wasn't the first time. And I do believe it is a strategy that seems to work for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cocomando Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 yup i'm with you there David , makes sense . Gives us a year to refine my steampunk costume , but alas the Mando is now retired (seeing as he got 1st place , yahhoo), so i think i'm gona build anothere one , a snowmando and of course i'll be in a TIE Pilot costume next time with the UKG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Scapegoat Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Snowmando? Ooh, I like the sounds of that! I also prefer one Collectormania a year at the moment - Means that all the effort, and all the guest big-ness is concentrated on one show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just that, I don't think my cash flow could stretch to 2 a year, not to mention the costume pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelspook Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 One a year is enough for me too, what with the other events I go to... though toying with a Vasquez costume for next year- will need to convert my Thompson, and get my butt in the gym if I decide to do that. I can still cosplay Captain Jack though, as I came quite rightly second to Mando- well done mate, that costume was awesome!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cargi1978 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I can't wait for the next one! The one in December last year was a disaster, but I suppose that its was over three days and it was very badly publicised!!!! Although they did have fab guests! The guests this time were fab too, espicially Nat Tena- she was sooo nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatrixKiddo88 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 You HAVE to do Vasquez!!! It would ROCK! Plus I'm going to do a Marine costume next year, maybe even have it ready for Glasgow, so if we were all there again, kitted out to the 9s in our armour and red bandanas...

Reverend Scapegoat Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 2 new recruits to the UKCM? Awesome. Get yourselves to the Aliens Legacy forums ASAP for tips on how best to put the costumes together, you two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatrixKiddo88 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Well now I know you guys get your stuff from spat I am more confident about actually being able to do it. Just need to find the BDU's. I can tell you that I am a big enough fanboy of Aliens that I know what I need for the costume. Been wanting to do one for years and years, ever since I saw the film. Been researching ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Scapegoat Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 BDUs we can sort too. In fact, add me to MSN, I may be able to cut you a deal. king_mob37@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking of doing something new as well. Of course, I'll Lara some of the day (it's kind of tradition now, eh lol?) but I'd like to expand a bit..maybe Harley? I'm not sure yet.

We stayed at Travel Lodge and it was an absolute nightmare....really bad. i am so glad it wasnt just me that thought this, there was a fight on the road outside my window at 2ish which woke me up. being on the main road and there being no blinds up at the window meant i had my curtains closed a lot as i was sure people could see in. the breakfast was a farce. only good point was guy on desk fixed my phone and it was close to venue that said i would go back to glasgow next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyMichaels Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Woo, is everyone going again next year :)? Damn right. Might try to make Two Face *my* character in the same way Lara is yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
