*sigh* The first holiday I have had in over eleven years, and it's at the same time as WLFCC. Gutted that I won't get to meet him! Tbh I'd love to meet Claudia too, but the reason I preorder is because I HATE standing in that massive queue at the sales desk!!! So I guess I'll be posting mine back for a refund Oh well, best of luck to Michael, and hopefully he'll be back again in future years.

It's been lovely this weekend. What are the chances of us having two nice weekends in a row? HA, nothing to worry about, it'll be raining come next weekend.

how many times have I gone out in 'inspired by' clothes, only for people to notice, but think i'm 'inspired by' someone completely different. i.e. I go out thinking I look like Eponine, and people spend the day saying "wow, you look so Jane Austen." "Nooooo, %&!#$ you!! You know nothing! Nothing!" Anyway, rant over, I'm really feeling the Avengers vibe right now, so I'll make sure to look out for you!! I'm sure you'll look awesome! Well, it's easier to change inside the venue, unless you're comfortable changing in the queue! So I'd say out of those two options: get ticket and then change. But personally, I'm a wear-it-there girl. I think there's nothing more fun than travelling up on a train in costume. It brightens up the day for all the unsuspecting commuters/shoppers. Luckily, for me, the whole trip is only about two hours tops, so it's not a big deal, and it saves me having to take anything with me.

8 is pretty much the earliest I can get there. I usually don't arrive that early, in fact, often I'm a half nine girl! I've never had a problem getting VTs, but then again, I don't tend to go for the really ''big'' guests.

Every time I go to a con, I remember this tip, and how tiring a day on your feet is.... and every single time I still end up wearing the most ridiculous shoes. Will I never learn?

YAY! was so disappointed when he cancelled MK. Super excited now!

Yes! Was hoping the Iron Throne would be back! First time I'll be able to get a pic in cosplay!

I've been wondering about this too! For me, the mortal instruments panel takes precedence, but I've already paid for my photo shoots! I guess I won't start panicing until the timetable is released.

No, pretty sure you've got that one right! They do it so they don't have to make too many changes to the timetable after it's released

Brilliant announcement! Well done!!

*sigh* I was already worried I might not get there in time for a talk ticket, now that Jamie's signing I'm even more worried. I'll be in the queue by 8.30 but I bet everyone will want a ticket! Wish he'd do a photoshoot Well, I guess I'll just have to hope that I'm there early enough!!

you just know I'd be that one awkward person who came dressed as a flying horse.

So far I've got tickets for: Jason Momoa Michael Shanks Lena Headey Finn Jones Joe Dempsie I'm hoping to get my copy of City of Bones signed by Cassandra Clare, and I'm PRAYING that Jamie Campbell Bower does a photoshoot!!

I was PRAYING it would be this!!! It's usually not my type of thing, but I read the first two books and i found them very enjoyable (if a bit predictable!) And with JCB starring, I will DEFINITELY be going to see the film. Brilliant announcement, well done showmasters - you've made my life!

Hmmmm, maybe a Bad Guys Ball? Or a party where everyone has to dress as an inanimate object? I personally would come as a DHD.

I actually dreamed last night that you sold 150,000 tickets! It made the news! Somehow I think that's unlikely to actually happen, but I'm definitely going to try and talk all my friends into getting a ticket. I think a lot of them would do it if there were some big SG1 guests announced, but personally I'm already sold on who we have!

I don't know if I'm even going to be staying, let alone where! I guess that all depends on someone on this forum. (You know who you are) It'd be interesting to know where other people are staying though, anyone got any prior experience, any particularly good/bad hotel experiences?

I'm not sure how I'm going to afford this! It might be a case of somehow macgyvering something out of material (and shoes) i already have for the sunday. I wish there were a few more paydays in between!

Wow, I feel completely the opposite - I think the photoshoots are much easier than the autos. With photos, you already have your ticket, you just go to the photo area at the right time, join the queue, and pick up your photo straight away! With autographs you have to get there early to get a VT, then keep checking back until your number is called, and THEN join the queue. And unless you're happy with the prints they have at the table you have to make sure you've got something for them to sign. I guess it just depends what you're more comfortable with.

I tend to go for a photo over an autograph - it's something that's just a bit more personal. If I can afford it and have the time, I'll do both. The only exception is if I have a multi-signed item, in which case I'd go for the autograph rather than a photoshoot. But also - photos can be bought in advance! I'm quite bad with money if I'm honest, so I can buy them a month (or a few months) before, and then just forget that I'd spent my money! With autographs you pay for them on the day, so it has to come out of my budget - and by the time I've been round the stalls, I often don't have much left!!

Dont worry, it'll be here before you know it! I'm so excited for this - but just realised I haven't even started on my second costume! Was so caught up in the Saturday outfit!

Wait, the sidekick has never been in another show - as in the character or the actor?

It's coming around so quickly! I'm really looking forward to this now! I'm hopefully gonna have my costume finished in time for LFCC, if it is then I'll post a pic of it here. Luckily mine's not all that complex, most of it I managed to buy!
