That would be freakin' awesome!

God, I have such fond memories of the Power Ranges! I might actually consider on getting his autograph ^^

How is Dwayne Johnson not a big star in big movies? His career is a lot better than Bloom's at the moment I think we can easily rule out people like Mark Hammill. Considering they said they never could get this guest so soon and all that... You can easily get Mark Hammill if you put enough money on the table, so it'll likely be someone who hasn't done many conventions before. Sean Bean would be a dream come true!

Let's hope for more LOTR guests to come! ^^ (John Rhys-Davies, Bernard Hill & John Noble!!!!) Not sure if I'll visit Stephen Ure's table, I think 15 pounds is a bit much but I'll consider it depending on the rest of the announcements.

Autographs (personalised if possible) from: - Jon Bernthal - Lexa Doig - Nicole de Boer - Michael Shanks - Virginia Hey - Margot Kidder - Sam Jones - William Kircher - Natasha Henstridge - Joanna Cassidy - Paul McGann (Alien photo if possible ^^) - Veronica Taylor - Steve Cardenas - Stephen Ure - Walter Jones - Julian Glover And secretely hoping Billie Piper and Hannah Spearritt will change their minds and come on Sunday as well ^^

I never thought about it because I consider it unlikely to see them on non British conventions, but I would really love to meet the cast of Coupling. I absolutely love that show and it would be great to meet any of the cast. Jack Davenport and Gina Bellman could be interesting for the POTC and Leverage fans! :) I also started watching Once Upon a Time. Someone like Ginnifer Goodwin would be amazing!

Police Academy would be pretty cool! My two favorite characters already passed away, but I'd love to meet Steve Guttenberg, Leslie Easterbrook, Michael Winslow, Bobcat Goldthwait or Marion Ramsey. Or Kim Cattrall, she'd be a big guest I guess (though I don't like Sex and the City, but she's awesome in Big Trouble in Little China!).

The long list of people I want to meet has been shortened by the summer edition, but is nevertheless still a long one! :) The Adventures of Merlin: Angel Coulby, Santiago Cabrera, Anthony Head, Bradley James, Katie McGrath, Richard Wilson (!), Colin Morgan Buffy (as I'm hoping for an Angel reunion next year): Emma Caulfield, Eliza Dushku, Amber Benson, James Marsters, Juliet Landau, Michelle Trachtenberg.

I'm unfortunately always a bit starstruck (I guess, for lack of a better term) and hardly chat with any of the guests. I quickly turn to an automatically thank you for being here and such. So when a guest tries to put in a bit of effort to make me talk, I'm always grateful. To me, I'd say John Franklin was the nicest guest I met on sunday. Very nice, chatty, waving when he saw me pass by. Had a nice chat with Armin Shimerman about Buffy and his voice work as well. Dee Wallace is absolutely amazing. But honestly I have no complaints about anyone, none of the guests were impolite. I should try to chat more!

I saw some great (and some less great) cosplays on sunday. One of the best I believe was a girl in a wheelchair who was dressed as Hellboy (Hellgirl?), really good looking cosplay!

Especially yes to Simcoe, Tupu and Hey! :)

Oh, I'd really love to meet Lucy Lawless! Out of the main cast I'm still missing Michael Hurst as well. Bruce Campbell, Gina Torres, Karl Urban and Charles Mesure are guests I'd love to meet as well :)

Clive Russell's line allowed for more time to talk? He always seemed quite busy to me, all the GOT guests actually. But I enjoyed it as well! Had to miss Yeager this year since I ran out of money, hopefully I'll see him again :)

Hmm, don't have an opinion about the queueing thing, though I do see where you're coming from. It seems odd that a pre paid line would go slower then a pay on the day one. Anyway, the only things I disliked on my first LFCC ever (sunday) were: - Ray Park not turning up - Lena Headey falling sick and having to return home (why oh why did I postpone queueing up for her :'( ) - René Auberjonois not personalizing for... no reason whatsoever. That was really weird :s - Peter Mayhew not personalising and apperantly not able to correctly spell Chewbacca. Though it didn't bother me too much, I've heard before he isn't a very easy guest. And all of these weren't Showmasters fault, but up to the guest (except for Headey, who couldn't help it either)! So I'd say excellent edition, I really hope I can afford coming to the winter one! :)

Sunday!

Shame about the postponements today (not sure if I'll be able to go to the October one), but on a more bright side: I've got money for Eoin Macken and Hooper! :)

Indeed, I've often corresponded on forums/in mails with organisors of conventions, and I must say that those of Showmasters are easily among the best and friendliest. They explain everything clearly, they announce everything and aren't annoyed while doing so. Huge difference in comparison to some other conventions I've been to (or was planning to).

Peter Dinklage, David Hasselhof, Lena Headey, Danny Glover, Amanda Tapping, Sarah Wayne Callies, Ray Park, Michael Shanks, Al Matthews, Peter Mayhew, Will Yun Lee, Ralph Brown, Adrienne Barbeau, Courtney Gains, John Franklin, Dee Wallace, Clive Russell, Kristian Nairn, Richard Dormer, Rene Auberjonois, Kristanna Loken And if my money allows it (so very unlikely): Lexa Doig, Nicole de Boer, Dan Yeager, Armin Shimerman, Eoin Macken, Tom Hopper I know, a load of guests. But I'll be there all day and quite early, so I'm hoping for the best. And I realise I'll probably spend the entire day queueing, but I'm okay with that. Haven't got anything else planned.

I'm terrible at estimating these kind of things. I'll be there early, but what guests are the ones we'll have to worry about? (I'm only there on sunday)

Looking at my ticket, it's not as early as I thought. I should arrive a bit before 6 in London though.

My bus arrives very early in the morning, so I'll probably go straight away (what else can you do at that time?). Meaning I'll probably be waiting there on my own for a while

1st time in the UK? I thought he and Flannery did conventions all the time all over the world. But he's a great guest, glad I've already met him cause I'd hate to miss out on a Walking Dead guest

I can only imagine it's a big place, so will there be maps at the location that'll pinpoint what is where?

Oh man, I'd really like to meet Hopper and Macken as well. But as I'm already meeting 20 guests, my wallet will be quite empty. Means I've got 6 actors in reserve in case of cancellations But I'm sure they'll do more conventions in the future, so ^^

First LFCC for me as well. Going on sunday, but I'm a bit nervous
