First up a MASSIVE thank you to the lovely Crew! Even with the stress they had and how busy it was they remained helpful and sorted issues out as good as they could. Also a big thank you to help my friend and me rush through when things were clashing or when we queued before had to move somewhere else and come back.
Thanks to the kind attendees that allowed the crew to let us "jump" the queue when we had to rush from one thing to the next. I was running from photoshoot to talk to photoshoot to photoshoot like a maniac from 9am till 4pm with a quick meeting with the other Potter cosplayers in between, sorry again ladies and gents that it was so rushed :*(
I truly appreciate ALL the help the Crew has given on Saturday and a big hat off to them for keeping a cool head in the manic situation they were in all the time (except 2 staff members but I can't blame them one bit it was absolultely bonkers)
A big thank you to the lovely gentleman in the Natalia Tena photoshoot Queue who gave my friend and me a banana and crisps so we could finally eat a little bit as we had not managed to have anything the whole day through to rushing and also a big massive thanks to the lovely lady from the Legend of the Seeker table for the 2 mandarines... they helped a LOT. Wanted to come back but wasn't allowed anymore :-/
Thanks to all the guests, you were all AWESOME!!!
Big hello to the "Terminator" and "Doc Brown" sorry there was only enough time to say hello and how are you... I hope we can have another chat at a future event.
Showmasters thanks for bringing us another great convention.

Thank you to the fantastic crew, you answered all of my questions and were just great to chat to. You were all rushed off your feet but the event would not have been a sucess without you! (special shout out to everyone working in the Karen/Alex are you did a stand up job. And to the guys in the photo area, becase that was just insanely busy!)
Thanks to the guests too, every single one I met was lovely and a total pro!
And finally thanks to the people I met and chatted to/hung out with over the weekend. You were all brilliant and fantastic to talk too :)
Basically thanks to EVERYONE!

Bit of a sad come down after what I felt was yet another fantastic LFCC.
Great guests, and great photoshoots.
I have a feeling that next year's LFCC may end up trumping this year's. In the mean time I'll enjoy the memories.
Nice meeting/talking to the people I had met - hope to be seeing you, again, at future Showmaster events.
Thanks Showmaster

Thanks to the crew member who managed to find the black and white portrait print of Veronica Cartwright from Alien after I went up to the table and there weren't any there. Would have been disappointed if I hadn't got that one signed so cheers!

Thanks to the female crew member who helped us out when we came running over breathless and late for our Brent Spiner photo, and sorted us with a make up session! Thank you!!! I missed the Christopher Lambert talk for it, but it was worth it!
Thanks to the female crew member at the photo area in the red top at the end of today who helped me out with photos and explained to me the Brent Spiner ones weren't coming but assured me I would get it!
Thanks to the lovely people I chatted to in the queue while waiting for the Corey photoshoot - good to meet you all!
And finally thanks to everyone who said they liked my Frog Brothers t shirt, especially the guy who said it was the best t shirt he'd seen all weekend!! I felt like a bit of a celebrity haha!!

This was the first ever LFCC I had attended - after having previously just attended the Collectormania events held in Milton Keynes over the years. I have to say that LFCC was perfect in every way. My wife and I visited as we were also there to see Corey Feldman, we got to speak with him for a few minutes too. I was glad to see plenty of space between the stalls and had no feeling at all of being hemmed in, anywhere.
The Gaming Zone was also fantastic, nice to see the older retro platforms alongside current-gen kit.
I must say that the guests (including Corey) were of a very high quality, much better than some more recent CM:MK events I had been to. Yes, we had to pay to get in which again wasn't a problem, also the cost of buying soft drinks was not too unreasonable for Earl's Court, either.
All in all, we are glad that we visited and we may well attend future events in London as and when they occur.

Thanks to SM for throwing a brilliant event and the crew for their usual sterling work. I had a couple of people running around sorting stuff out for me and I'm most grateful for their efforts, although everyone with whom I spoke were friendly and helpful as always. And thank you to Malcolm, Danielle and Giles for the photos!
Met a lot of lovely guests, caught up with some friends and generally had a fab weekend, especially Saturday, which could not have been better. Am absolutely shattered now, but it was a great experience.

Big thankyou tithe gorgeous young lady on the organisers booth today, Sunday, who helped me out tremendously to find a cash machine. I was running short for my Ton Sizemore sigs, after they weren't ready to take card on the front door yet.
Sorry, didn't catch her name, but she had some awesome tat work and a short black bob hairstyle kinda thing. Lol

You should have been there on saturday, it was heaving. Very hard to get around at some points. Sunday was noticably quieter though still buzzing and busy.

Probably spoke to all of you at some point. I was almost at the front at the start of the day and you kept us very well controlled and amused while we were waiting. I think you said you could have had a worse job than being near her most of the day. Just annoyed I had to rush off to a photoshoot and miss her arriving but it all worked out great in the end.

I must add my thanks to the crew who made everything run smoothly, and were always polite and friendly.
Big thanks to all of those who were crewing Alex's autograph line, and keeping us up to date as to when Alex was expected to arrive.
The best laugh I had of the day was the lady who was shouting "Virtual Queue tickets for Alex Kingston" and then she shouted out "Virtual Queue tickets for Karen Gillan"!
Thanks for that!
