Matt Effect

Thank you for the update. Good job on getting so many of the guests booked for the new dates, fingers crossed Alice Cooper can also make it :)

I only met Sam Neill and William Hope this weekend. Both really friendly. Sam Neill - I introduced myself as I got his autograph and he replied "G'day Matt". Asked how his weekend had been so far and he looked up and smiled "adventurous", I then cracked a joke about it being 'an adventure 65 million years in the making', pointing to the tagline of the Jurassic Park poster I was getting signed. He laughed but not sure if it was an awkward laugh! The next day he shook my hand and thanked me for coming during the photo-shoot. Top gentleman! William Hope - Shook my hand and said hello. Said he liked the t-shirt I was wearing. I then said to enjoy the rest of his weekend and he said you too.

Just my Back to the Future poster signed by Tom Wilson. Only need Crispin Glover now!

Sounds like these ones? I meant to get a few myself but couldn't had a combination of running out of time and not remembering where the stall was... https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/LawandMoore?ref=l2-shopheader-name Hope it's okay to post the link!

Friday Standard Entry - £18 Hotel for 1 night + breakfast - £71.50 Return train ticket - £50.70 Arrow Video BluRays - £35 Kong: Skull Island Art Book - £15 Tom Wilson autograph - £45 Total - £235.20 Not too bad!

I tried two on Friday including the one in the main signing area and both were closed, asked a venue security guard if they were open and he didn't know. Soooooo glad I decided not to bring my small suitcase and instead take a backpack which I managed to cram all my overnight stuff in.

I only went the Friday and got there maybe around 10AM, managed to walk right in which was nice. So much better than last year and I would definitely do the Friday again next year. I only met Keith David who was great, I could appreciate the caliber of some of the guests that signed over the weekend although I wasn't a big enough fan to want to meet them, which is okay considering the amount of people I met last year! Only feedback I could give is place 'you are here' stickers on the maps as I had to ask a couple of people were the exit was, and the stalls didn't seem as varied as last year. Hopefully next year will will have all the space used for this weekend.

What a great guest! I've been waiting nearly the 10 years I've been going to these events to meet him! Just a fyi, Jurassic Park is spelt wrong under his name on the main site page :)

Great guest, I've been waiting years for him to be announced!

Yaphet Kotto, Ian Holm & Harry Dean Stanton. and Oscar Issac!

I think Kurt Russell would certainly be a possible guest next year. Maybe Thomas F. Wilson and Crispin Glover too. Ian Holm can't be far off, but I don't think Harry Dean Stanton would attend...

Love the posters ! Did you get all the autos in the UK ? Thanks and yep! Got them all at either a LFCC or Collectormania too except Collette Hiller and Trevor Steadman but they attended LFCC this year as well...

I think the amount charged for Michael J. Fox would be the very limit of what I would be willing to pay for further diamond guests. They shouldn't go above the amount of diamond guests they had at this show in the future imo, unless of course they only have one opportunity to get a MASSIVE name.

I think you might have been the person in front of me meeting Sigourney! Unless there are two people walking around with Snow Cake posters...

Already posted mine in the photo thread so copied here too...
