Rubbish sign posts from the M1, took us ages to get there

Once there, we only had a short space of time but got to see Carl Weathers, Jonny Coyne and Phil LaMarr who were all excellent

It's my birthday today, and I got Phil LaMarr ( ) to record a birthday message on my phone from Ollie Williams - Awesome

Depends on how up to date your Satnav is.... if you have problems, try looking for Ikea or Asda on your Satnav, they are adjacent.

Happy birthday. And what a great way to spend a birthday!

I had a great time today. My only disappointments are one guest said he wasnt allowed to sign in blue pen when I asked for it in blue and I booked a photoshoot with Callum for 10am tomorrow and now its after 3 and I wanted to be on my way home well before then as only there for 2 people.
Met Nichelle Nichols today who was lovely, was refusing to do photos at desk saying she was told she wasnt allowed to yet did 1 and then refused the next 2 in the queue. Callum Blue was wonderful and chatted away. Amandla Stenberg was so sweet and a great guest. Brandon Routh seemed to be enjoying it and was chatty to. Found Jonny Coyne a bit rude and there was only me wanting him and was talking to him about Alcatraz and then he started talking to someone else mid conversation.
Hardly any people there at 9am which was great and had a good chance to look at the stalls without being pushed around. Overall a great time.

Thats great news- can't wait to meet these two. Just wondering, Were they doing photos at the desk? Thanks

[Pebbles22]

Yes both did photos at desk. Am not sure if it will change as I was the only one wanting Amandla and Brandon had only 3 people behind me.

Thats good, I'm sure it will be a Lot busier tomorrow but I'll hope there won't be too many 'No Photo' signs around

Generally there will be less chance of desk photos on saturday purely because of the larger numbers of people but doesn't mean there's no chance.

Had a good day today. Didnt get there until about 10:30. Nice to get a few photos out the way although the numbers were pretty low so not sure how viable it is doing friday photos. Most people seemed to be using Sat or Sun tickets.

Met Nichelle, lovely lady, though did seem a bit tied but was brighter in the photoshoot. Erick Avari was super. No queue so had chance for a long chat with him. Great & very interesting guy. Michael Dorn was fine, Sean Astin was great and chatty too.

Jason Momoa wasn't due to arrive until about 3pm and I wasn't sure whether to wait thinking he might be tired and it all might be a bit rushed as there was quite a big queue for him but he seemed to be on fine form. Laughing and joking with people, could take photos of him signing your item and he was personalising. So I was glad I waited in the end.

The whole event was very quiet, even more so than other fridays I've done, to the point I wondered if was actually worth opening. Think quite a few people got in early, did what they needed to and left but other than people waiting for Jason it seemed pretty dead by then.

Tomorrow is going to be mad though I suspect so very glad I could get some of it done today. Anyway, a good day and had time to catch up with a couple of people I know.

[Elspeth]

Had a great day today.  Was is quiet? Yes.  But we got to spend a lot of time with all of the guests chatting which was priceless.

So far I've had the pleasure of meeting Brandon Routh, Dayo, Amandla, James Momoa and Sean Astin, they were all more than happy to chat away, take over the table shots, Amandla and Dayo also let me take some snaps of the 2 of them together messing around which was great!

Best moment of the day is a tie between watching Jason, Dayo and Brandon playing football and also the Residents' Pass talk with Jason and Lance (which was moved to the bar at Jason's request!)  Brilliant!

Now it's time to PARTY!!

[Starbug]

Thanks, as a massive Family Guy fan, it made my day!

Signposts to the buses from the train station were ridiculous, telling you to go left then through an underpass to get to the bus stop when in fact it was right and over?! Whose idea was that? There were no more signs after the one telling you to go through the underpass and we ended up having to walk into the centre of town just to find a bus to get us to the stadium in the first place, as we'd got lost after the signs had disappeared. This lead to us only spending about three or four hours in the actual event itself which was a real downer. Very disappointed.

The staff at the train station were misinformed as well, as they told me I'd have to get the number 1 bus and pay a fee because the free bus wasn't running on Friday (it was). Thankfully I had a quick reply from the Showmasters twitter who told me it was running.

Guests were very lovely on Friday. It made my friend's day as she was dressed as Daenerys from Game of Thrones and when we met Jason Momoa he first called her Khaleesi, then whispered 'Moon of my life' in Dothraki to her and signed it on her autograph as well. He made a real fuss of her which was perfect as it was her birthday present :) We also had Thresh and Phil LaMarr shout Khaleesi and make a fuss of her as well!

That happens every year for me...been a couple of times now and still get lost...the really stupid thing is it is the football stadium and NO signposts until you hit the turning before!  stupid!

Btw no complaints for Showmasters just MK council.

Had to give up and go home before even getting in. I got there after 9 and couldn't get parked - the whole place was gridlocked. Very disappointed.

TBH, if I had known before hand how busy it was likely to be, in tandem with the car parking being so limited (a lot of it was cordoned off due to roadworks/building works) I probably wouldn't have driven down there. What a shame.
