I had no idea any of this stuff went on - truly shocking!! Some people really do know how to try and ruin things!! I've seen badge numbers printed on the autograph / photo sheets before. Maybe that would be worth doing??

Well the hotel tried to charge us £42 parking for 2 nights!! I was gobsmacked!! Luckily after a chat with the main desk we got it down to £14, I'm so glad I checked the bill though!

My Mum & I booked ourselves tickets at the event - we weren't going too, but couldn't resist - SM you are BREAKING ME!!! We got silvers & have also booked our hotel - shocking how organised I've been!!!

I'm in group L too Matches my initial too YAY!! Also are my Mum, cousin & 2 of my pals

Authors have kind of become one of my favorite parts of the ETs, really sad that we don't have any for this one Still gonna have a Bloody good time though

Mmmmmmm, this would be HEAVEN!!!!!

I think this could be really cool, as a side event, like the costumes. Good plan

You have NO idea how much I want to meet Cassandra - her books are AMAZING!!!! It would be EPIC to have her at an ET!!

I have to say I kinda hope that IF a BIG guest was there, then hopefully standards would be given some sort of chance to buy photo opportunities first. After all Golds & Silvers SHOULD have a photo with the guest anyway & in my opinion we should all be given a chance. I would love to buy a gold or silver pass to every event, but I sadly just don't have that kind of money & I would feel gutted if I wasn't given a chance at getting a picture done. Just my opinion!!

I just got our tickets Gonna be epic once again I am sure!!!

My kinda issue with the blue photo was that there is loads of background in mine. IMO could have done to be a bit of a closer shot. BUT they are cute photos all the same!!

Please, PLEASEEEEEEEE!! x

YAY someone I may actually meet

I'm surprised that the guest's agents/managers can't supply a suitable promo photo (even if it was a digital image to be printed off).... Very good point!!! Looks like I'll have to buy some 8x10s there, as this just doesn't go with the rest of mine

Gil just tweeted - "@gilbirmingham Gil Birmingham Had a blast this weekend. Now heading off to undisclosed locations. Thanks for making the weekend so wonderful!" Guessing the Undisclosed location could be Birmingham???

I'm happy with the wristbands. Yes I love the passes and will miss it, but something had to be done about some people swapping passes & not doing as they are meant to. All round this should make things safer & more fair for us all

I see we are getting wristbands! I think this is a really good idea!! Just wondered will we still get our passes as well? They are rather pretty!!

Very Cool - he was hilarious in his talk at CM:London

Yay, thats awesome

Love all 3 shows, so am gonna be happy with all the guests I am sure

Had a great time such a laugh!! No complaints only thing that would be nice at future events is if the stage could be higher. Sadly I am a shorty and for most of the talks I was lucky if i could see the guests hair :\ At least we had the screens, but as it was a small con, I didn't really expect to not be able to see the guests on stage. But honestly I had such a great time - reminds me why I love showmasters & massive Events SO MUCH!!!

YAY!!!!!!

I pretty much mirror what you guys have said - did expect more than 4 guests, but I'm so excited to have fun times with my friends

I know, thats what I am thinking Give me a while, I have a plan in motion lol!

You need to goth it up, but in kinda an old fashioned way, ie - not Bitten style, lol!
