Thank you for the advice , its a bit nerve wracking travelling so far and not really knowing anyone, but i guess it will be pretty busy and that should keep everything going.

Thank you, it was just confusing i have only been to london a few times and the tube seems a bit overwhelming.

Im looking to book Crown Plaza, seems to be cheapest of the onsite hotels.might of been cheaper booking earlier tho. I was trying to find somoene to go with me to share the costs as same price 2 bed than 1 but no luck.

Ive been looking at the tube and travel as i dont have much idea of travelling in london, and the disruption concern me too like most people. Travelling there seems straight forward Travelling back is If anyone understands some of the tube information such as the return on the sunday i searched for tube info on travelling on the Hammersmith & City Line but it saying the METROPOLITAN LINE - no service between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Aldgate, my confusion is if there the same line or seperate and if it then affects the Hammersmith & City Line Route 2 details Time Route details Information Maps 16:01 16:06 Royal Victoria DLR Station Take Docklands Light Railway towards Stratford International DLR Station Av journey time: 5 mins Zone(s): 3 16:14 16:40 West Ham Underground Station Take the Hammersmith & City Line towards Liverpool Street METROPOLITAN LINE: Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 October, no service between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Aldgate.

True im prob just over thinking the whole thing. :)

Thanks i joined it earlier today just though id put something on here too.

Ok here goes, I really want to go but the though of attending alone isnt easy. Is anyone else struggling with this dilemma. I attended LFCC but with a friends so that made things a bit easier as had someone to at least speak to.

This was my first con and i got photos with Gillian and Jeri and yes they felt rushed but i knew this was most likely the best chance i have to ever met them. And if the moment was brief, i got to say hello ask how they are and get my photo, i will now treasure that photo, and its something i can show others. I can understand how it can feel like your just rushed through and its about money, but for them to stand about and get there photos took all day long and be signing autographs over and over, this surely must be a tiring job. I was shattered from just queing, but they had to stay happy, smile and sign for every person who turned up to see them.

When i turned up for the Gillian Anderson photo shoot the poor guy trying to get people to move back as they were crowding the area, you could tell his voice was going, he was shouting them to move behind the pillars over and over and the people hanging about were paying no attention to what he was saying. Mabye a megaphone would of been useful to get people to listen and tell people to move back and what tickets numbers are queing. Metal barriers would be a good idea to physically keep the queueing in one place.

From how people are going on at the OP, next time he finds that someone has lost something, i wonder if he will pick it up and try to return it or just leave it on the floor as all he seems to be getting is vilified, what is done is done, and has tried to do the right thing. How about some usefull replies here such as addresses to send the camera too and possibly a thanks for trying to do the right thing.

Was my very first con and wanted to give my thoughts. Firstly i had an amazing time, i was not sure what to expect, as i dont really know anyone else who is into scifi as i am, i dragged a friend along who likes comics. It would of been nice to chat more with people with same interests but i dont find it that easy to talk to people i dont know. I didnt really mind any of the long queues it was just brilliant to be able to meet and get photos. Was very tired after the weekend but was totally worth it.
