  1. Its OK I found a return train for 26.50
  2. Hi, I am travelling down on the 20th to DST and trains are proving expensive. Anyone out there travelling down from the midlands that could give me a ride I would happily help with petrol money. Kind Regards, Andrew
  3. Is anyone travelling down to DST on the 19th from the midlands? Will pay petrol. Andy Stafford
  4. I did say that would be the reason but at what cost to fans? You aren't really meeting your idols are you? I say either do it properly or not at all. Even in this faster 'production line' method you are going to have a limit to how many you do a day.
  5. I have to say that I was very disappointed at Comiccon yesterday, don't get me wrong it was an incredible show and I met many guests that you could tell were delighted to meet and talk to you. The show was bustling with excitement and the costumes were great to see from all the hardcore fans. Although I had to queue for my ticket as soon as the doors opened Showmasters organised the crowds very well and I was inside within half an hour. My only complaint has to come from the guest arrangements for Gillian Anderson, Jeri Ryan and Karl Urban. For me the reason I go to these events is only partly for merchandise but is solely to meet and talk to guests. I fail to understand why the focus seemed to be more on making money on autographs to the point where you don't get to talk to your idols and a production line was in effect. I am sure the reasons given will be to enable more people to see them in a day and if that is the case why wasn't this done for any of the other guests? but quite frankly I found it uncomfortable and disgusting and obviously a money making decision rather than a guest friendly one. Why no cameras were aloud was certainly to pressure people in to forking out even more money for photo shoots which after paying to see the top of Gillian Anderson's head I decided against. Although I did go initially to meet Gillian Anderson and Jeri Ryan I have to admit I had much more respect for the guests I met who had more time for their fans and perhaps if this method was extended to all guests and the show extended to incorporate this or perhaps an online ticket system for meeting front line guests which has a limited number for the day I would be less hesitant about going in future when someone is making an appearance I want to meet. I am planning to go to Destination Star Trek London in October but now my concern is the same production line photo system and if that is the case I may as well just buy a signed picture off ebay.
