Hi All,

After attending my first LFCC a few months ago, and chatting with some of the crew, the first thing I did was put in my crew application for CM London 10. I've been accepted, and will be a nervous noob on Friday morning for set-up. *gulp*

My biggest piece of advice? Don't be offended when people can't remember your name. Wendy still doesn't remember my name, but sees me and goes "Oh, you're the languages lady. Good good". Mara just calls me "Dolphin Girl" (though she may have learned my name at Autographica) and I nearly dropped dead with shock when Penfold referred to me by name!

I'm a London Bus Driver, I'm used to being called all the names under the sun, and I'm awful with names myself, so anything polite and non-defamatory is fine by me!

Have we got enough crew yet or can I spread the word a bit further?

awww I'm probs a bit late in finding this topic but I'm gunna reply anyways!

started attending SM events at C4 aka the Hobbit Collectormania Sept/Oct 2003 and started crewing at C6 Sept/Oct 2004. it's been the coolest 6/7years! Jason et al are my big extended family and I will say that I have met most of my best friends thanks to SM and crewing   and am still meeting people! only really got to know Welcome Earthling and Tracy Jane (aka dolphin ) while crewing the last Twilight con then we figured out we are all Stargate fans and got to hang out at Chevron all weekend, rock on so you make new friends every time and you meet up with the rest of the family too

I personally love the info desk too, it's one of my fave jobs! helping people and explaining how it all works and I like giving out the VT tickets too because you get to talk to the fans and help them  

there are jobs I don't like as much of course, front door with no turnstyles at LFaCC was rather manic!    but I found out that a crew friend I'd made at C16 was also there yey so I don't really believe in crappy jobs but it's more what you can make from it  

anyways due to the latenessish of the hour, I'm babbling so I'm just gunna quote Emm again because she pretty much summed it up perfectly:

Becoming part of the SM Crew is great, you really feel like a part of the family and that you are giving something back. No job is ever boring, at least not from my experience its always fast paced and you get swept away in the moment. I'd say my favorite job has been working on the talk areas despite all the madness but there are plenty of other jobs that you'll get to try from the Info desk to guest assistant. How many people can say they spent there day guarding the Batmobile? I find I'm never short of a story or two. SM's always like to mix it up for you so you get to try different areas and jobs. By the time the day comes to an end you are exhausted but you're wondering where the time went and more importantly how many weeks until the next show!

cu you all at CML (or the EMS or whatever we are calling it these days - I normally just refer to it as London or Olympia hehe!!!) and then we have to wait till March for the next one, OMG
