Steviefull Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Gotta be honest i enjoyed c5 more, granted some people moaned about no one 'big' going, but the variety is so much better. Went on friday got everyone i wanted, and enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral_Bear Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 I enjoyed C5 more only because I wasn't ill when I went today. Was sick as a dog at C4, so didn't enjoy it much, but I prefered C4 as an event. It was less crowded and more laid back.

dragonmate1 Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Depends on what you are measuring.. guests or organisation?? As far as guests are concerned.. I have no complaints..I have added 4 to my LOTR collection.. Met a major Next Gen star out of the confines of a real convention and generally had a great time with all the guests who I must say were excellent.. Usually, at least one guest can be a bit un-fan friendly or just plain grumpy.. I met 15 guests this time around and every one of them was excellent.. As for organisation.. I know that Friday is usually the less busy time nut I must say the organisation was the best yet.. Theer were clear instructions about virtual queuing, the stewards were all excellent and I saw no evidence of any 'job-worths' this time.. In fact I though every steward that I met did his/her job extremely well and remained upbeat, friendly and helpful.. I had a lot of criticism of some stewards at LFCC and would like to say a big thanks to the organisers and crew for listening to the criticism (though I did post an e-mail re this to the organisers which was ignored, as requested) and making the necessary changes to ensure the event went very smoothly.. But as I said.. I went on the least stressful day (Friday) and hope that the rest of the weekend goes just as well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiggerbabe Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 (edited) They both had their good points. At C4 I got to meet Elijah, Dom and Sean which was fantastic and really made my year. C5 hasn't had many guests that I wanted to meet, but the organisation has been a lot better and i easily got to meet the guests this time without any problems. A lot less chaotic!!

Jen Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I loved them both, i enjoyed meeting the Hobbits so much i had to vote for C4 but C5 was a less stressful experience. I felt more chilled out and less rushed around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat ^_^ Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 It has to be said, me and my friends prefered C5 mainly because of how quieter it was compared to C4. This time we were actually ABLE to get around all the cool stalls and buy stuff, whereas at C4 it was a struggle to even walk down a particular part of the shopping centre due to the immense amount of people there wanting to catch even just a glimpse of the main attractions such as Elijah Wood and the other hobbits. Does anyone agree with me? C4 was hectic o_o;; Compared to C5, it was a lot better in terms of moving ability. And the line-up was good Craig Parker is SUCH a babe and really, really sweet and funny! Although, I'm not saying C4 was a bad event, me and my companions had a great time there! It was just because of the great people that were there that made it all hectic and a bit uncomfortable at some points. Like, when we all tried to get around the stalls at like 1pm o_o Which was like peak time. We were nearly swallowed by people! And this time at C5 we easily made our way around without any hinderances But we definately thought that C5 was better, even if just by a tiny, tiny bit! ~Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Bob (silent? Me?) Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I voted C5, althogh I loved meeting the hobits at C4 I felt allot more relaxed this time. I felt I could do things and see people as and when, rather than having to rush round, and stress about not being able to meet them. The guests too seemed more relaxed, and happy to be there, as they could take there time with each of us and rest their hands inbetween!! Also I wasn't part of the forum then, so this time I really enjoyed meeting you peeps and putting names to faces. Seeing so many costumes this time was excelent too. But most of all I felt so much more comfrotable in the atmosphere there, as it was not to squashy and there were no screaming fangirlies. I think too everyone felt so much calmer and that realy showed and made the event a nice place to be. Naomi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Much preferred C5. Better guests, better atmosphere, better control. Obi-Wan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfy_sah Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I don't think you can compare the events so openly, different guests, different crew (maybe!) and different attendees (although some are obv the same!) not to mention different talks etc! maybe c5 better in there being more people I wanted to meet and on the social side as I'm now a forumer and was hanging with some great peopel (hey guys!!!) but I feel c4 had more variety of things to buy and "bigger" stars - this ONLY based on business and the number of tickets given away, spesh on the Sunday, most people had open queues at c5, spesh on Sunday...

Eogwyn Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 (edited) I voted C5 because it was much more relaxed and I met up with a lot of people from the forum (I'd only just joined before C4 and didn't know anyone then) Also I thought the organization was much better too and the fact that there was a crew member just to take pictures in Brad and Craig's queue was a brilliant idea Edited May 4, 2004 by Eogwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbing Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Hmm I have to say C5 Was much more relaxed, and you were able to come out alive when going through the stalls on saturday and sunday. Also, might many more people this time round which was great. Don't get me wrong, I loved C4, but I enjoy the more relaxed atmosphere of C5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proby's_girl Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 In a way i think that it was possibly better because no-one 'big' went!!! it made it a more relaxed atmnosphere!!! i don't know how many of the guests just walked past me! that's how i met Joe Pantaliano!!!! it was fantastic!!!!! woot go showmasters!!!!
