Isn't there not. A lot of EU (expanded universe [star Wars]) stuff from the comics and novel's that is more or less extensions after Episode 6? And a universe wayyyy.....................before Episode 1 with "Tales Of The Jedi", The Knights Of The Old Republic video games, and tons of novels? Lucas did the math years ago and realised he'd be too old to do more after 2005. Each trilgoy from pre-production to post, to the last days of the film theatrical release takes in 9 years in total. by the time the prequel trilogy is done. It started from 1994 to 2005 george yet again has done it from a 9 year journey again. So, in the end. He cut out the last 3 and left the EU to cover all the adventures of Luke, Han, Leia and co. rebuilding The New Republic after Episode 6! Lucas also told his pal Spielberg, it's my baby. and didn't let him direct one of the prequels. with Steven Spielberg's schedule, i doubt he would get a chance anyways, friend of Lucas or not. True those N.D.A.'s do raise an eyebrow or two. what could they mean. In any case another trilogy from a starting date in the future would take another 9 years to complete. And truth be told, as it is now. He has been telling this multi-generational story to the point where by the time it takes to tell a 9 part saga from the first generation's beginning in 1977 for those who fell in love with the story to now, in and around 2004/ 2005. when the first and second trilogies connect at 28 years down the line. Then to dig it in, with the audience. You've got another 9 or 10 years plus to get 9 stories over and done with by the time it's 38 years older still. it's too much! There has to be a time to leave a well enough series, alone. At one time there was 9 now, we must deal with 6. from one point of view. Yeah i wouldn't mind another 3 and to see what happened after Jedi all those years ago. but realistically, it's shouldn't take 38 years to tell three sets of storyarc's involving the Skywalker's, Jedi, the Empire and such. The stories are serialised like the old 1930's serial's, Lucas enjoyed as a kid. Doesn't mean that, because Star Wars is his Juggernaut of a serial and a multi-generational tale. And one hell of an merchandising machine. That it's should take this long to tell 9 stories. Let alone the fact he has also tinkered around with his own story, for it to be 100% original from the multiple early Star Wars scripts, back in 1973-74. Still nice conversational stuff to debate on. we're all fans aren't we. Well don't forget http://www.starwarz.com/tbone/ Later folks

Is this interview online? If he were to show up at C6 or this other LFCC2 then wouldn't he be promoting Sin City, even a little bit? Either way, he'll have something to talk about for the fans won't he.

I didn't miss out on C4 just the particular day is all. C4 -Saturday for me, BFR. The mayhem was on Sunday! i was expecting them, didn't know about them showing up for Sunday. I was talking to Sala saying where were they? He said they'd be here soon? Speaking of which, where is Sala Baker this time? Time to check the old Imdb.com eh...

Good, i'll be able to ask him why Highwayman didn't pan out as a TV series! Or why he was dubbed in Flash Gordon and is he miffed over it. Nah, thing is at CM you don't get to banter alot because others want talk to their stars and get their pictures taken too. If anything i'll be busy trying to get pictures, talking to dealers and buying stuff. hopefully like all CM events there will be so stuff involving the guests after 6.pm As there are some of C6's stars i want to see in CM hour long talks (here's hoping) afterwards. Yes it is indeed shaping up to be an event. Anyone got a list of their own yet!

Isn't Elijah Wood busy filming Sin City: The Movie! It must have been quite the Coup for Showmasters to get him last year. But as much as you may want him. Check up on his film schedule at www.imdb.com first. I'd like to help you out campaigning and all, but if he doing what you admire him for "acting" showmasters won't be able to yank him off his next film project. But if it is possible then, go for it. There are a few stars i'd want at C6. But i try to be realistic about it all. Make sure said star isn't busy doing a movie or on holiday, or in the papers etc. Who knows, some LOTR websites can have updates on a stars whereabouts. Maybe the right word of mouth online, can point somebody close to Elijah Wood for him to gain a little heresay and take some interest in coming back between film roles. Who knows. Anyway have a good one, i just thought i'd help ya out. imdb.com and some LOTR websites are good places to start from about any Ring's star whereabouts and activites though.

Man, it's surreal. i just knew i wasn't the only one he blew off with very bad manners. But at the same time. it's like WTF??! pay up before i'm permitted to use my own camera?! Excuse me! I wish Collectormania would take customer complains seriously. Just because stars are stars doesn't give them the right to act like "Prima Donnas" I still ahve a afew matters to sort out with SM director from last time, but he said it was all cool with me so. Let all pray there are no more Mr Lou Ferrigno's present at C6. It's been answered. No more Ferrigno at CM events. Several dozen people who don't use this board must have something to say also. But haven't. Thus this is a clear sign stars who act out like this shouldn't not for any reason return. I don't act up, nobody else i seen at CM has. Neither should the star.

Oooops missed one. Hey give a fella a chance to get down to his local cinema. I don't mind rushing out to see a film but these days we live in a culture that has a mad rush to just go see a film within the first week. Give me some time i'll go and see it. While the ticket thing does upset people and NEEDS to be modified somewhat. I've them give out tickets up until 3 and 4 in the day so yeah, so it might be unfair when some crew say don't bother he/she is booked for tomorrow with tickets. You can still get some during the day long after 10am. As for the Hobbits thing. I wasn't there on Sunday cos they arrived on Sunday at the last minute (even the website didn't update they arrival in time) i heard that Sunday was legendary! didn't i hear somebody got punched out because of tickets or pushing or whatever? I like going to cons to see the stars alright. but i'm not about to step over my own mother to see one or kill somebody do it! let pray nothing like that happens this time! Hey people, make some lists i'd like to see 'whom' you think, will pack CM up like never before.

I want showmasters to really let this happen, so i'm bumping this up!!!

Hello djw87. i too share your question and would also suggest a sensible question to showmasters that might help getting stars from the same shows together for a picture? Put Dwight Schultz and Richard Hatch on either side of Dirk Benedict. That way if you're an A-Team, fan you can get both Dwight and Dirk's picture on one side and get a picture pose with them or if you want a picture of Dirk and Richard Hatch for your Battlestar Galactica picture collection of stars. Dirk could just lean over the other way and 'Ta'da' another picture pose with both the stars of one of your favorite shows. Isn't that a smart idea? Who else might be grouped together? Sam Jones and Melody Anderson? Carrie Fisher and Dave Prowse, "hint hint" ? Nicholas Brendon and The Troika? nah...... Ah, who knows.

I've got to admit the roster this time has overloaded for CM. With this many stars going to this convention, how is Milton Keynes shopping centre gonna handle this amount of traffic from all these guests showing up. And the queues that will no doubt be formed by waiting and lining up to meet them. How many stars in the past have generated queues that do not die down throughout the day? Or ones that, will be very fast and will support mostly everyone? (if there is such a thing) Would anyone care to hazzard a guess, at which stars will have the biggest, longest, slowest, fastest, most popular queues! If this is what CM 6 is. What will CM 7 be like? bigger still - Here is my list of stars i think will dominate Collectormania. 1) Nicholas Brendon [Why] Buffy star, extremely popular and hasn't done CM before. Bar none is from the most popular show in recent years. 2) Karl Urban [Why] Fresh off his stuff from Chronicles of Riddick and LOTR: TTT and LOTR:ROTK. will no doubt pack'em in with a queue all day long. 3) Dirk Benedict * [Why] Is very well remembered from the A-Team and Battlestar Galactica. Has huge appeal still. Had an unending line at Birmingham's Memorabilia in July 2003 4) Amanda Tapping [Why] Star of Stargate, which is still on will no doubt, draw in huge fan support and have those lines going all the way back to the Milton Keynes train station! (o.k. a little humor ) 5) Stacy Keibler [Why] WWE star. May have untold pulling power to cause a surprise at CM. and a wrestling alumni makes the line up at CM 6 different. Interesting choices of stars will spice up interests and determine who to go to other than a movie or TV star! 6) Marina Sirtis [Why] Star Trek star. And a con alumni. Will no doubt please many who love the female Star Trek cast members. 7) Royd Tolkien [Why] Tolkien name. I suppose with LOTR stars making CM bigger than it's meant to be. The great grandson of the book's author. Will have huge appeal to LOTR hardcores. 8) Carrie Fisher [Why] One of the core Star Wars stars, rather than one of the famed smaller British Star Wars supporting cast. Will attend CM. Not known for doing conventions at all, meeting Carrie would be very interesting indeed. Not in the top spot because it's surprising she is making a rare showing at CM. but she had to make the top ten. 9) Walter Koenig [why] Because Babylon 5 fans now have something to shout about. Meeting Mr Koenig would be great. and stars that are from two very popular franchises generally will pack'em in. (See Benedict *) 10) Richard Hatch [Why] Richard Hatch will not doubt be interesting for sci-fi fans to meet but especially for Galactica fans who have never met him before. He is also known for 'The Streets of San Francisco', 'All My Children' and the U.S. soap series, Santa Barbara. I'm sure the star of the original Battlestar Galactica will be the surprise hit of CM 6. Others would include Melody Anderson, the stars of the Star Wars Reunion, The Troika, Verne Troyer, Margot Kidder, Richard kiel and Sam Jones from Flash Gordon and the highwayman series of the 1980's. Anybody got a list of their own, who thinks whatever star of their choice, will pack CM 6 to the raffers!

Armin and Bruce were great guys, i saw Armin at another show (it wasn't good, they way it's organisers held it!) they should be invited back to CM pronto. As should Tom Felton, i didn't get to say hello or anything last time to him. plenty of friends i know would love to take time to travel to Milton Keynes to see some of these stars. But they don't know how they day goes up there. meeting people, lining up to greet somebody etc. Yeah Armin was great to meet up with again. speaking of which? I did see some CM crew down in London. some cheeky "punk kids" though. Yeah, i had a run in with bald headed "slaphead" security guy in the dark blue suit. Who i'm told, made others at customers at CM, feel uncomfortable and got into a few arguements. Anyways, two of CM's crew members saw me and tried foolishly to talk smack behind my back about the "Joey Pants" thing? two week later. Thinking that serious situation i was in, was something to laugh at? I don't want to see them at Collectormania either? rude stars, very little one can do there about that. Rude crew members? that would be another matter whether the incident happened outside Milton Keynes nor not. That behavior ain't right. Seems Lou Ferrigno, slaphead security guy throwing their weight around and rude "teenaged" crew, gotta go.

Hope showmasters are listening, this would be a great event to hold at CM. Richard Hatch's BG:Second Coming trailers have had Battlestar Galactica and general sci-fi fans spellbound and applauding in cons across the states. It would be fantastic to let him show it off to tons of Collectormania fans along with his own "The Great War Of Magellen" project was well. All you've got to do is work it out with him! Don't let us down. It would be great if U.K. conventions could stage more events like showing never before seen stuff like "Projects in development media footage" guest talks, movie screenings during the day (not just at the local cinema by 6pm) and other such displays to broaden interests besides the signings, which aren't bad. But even in a shopping centre you could branch out and try a few new things to gain and keep interests in the customers who go to CM. Richard Hatch showing off his trailers to thousands of CM fans during or at the end of the 3 or 4 days he is at CM, would be a great start! Come on make us all proud.

I'm not surprised, and i'm sorry to hear such a thing happened to you. but i'm not surprised at all. Soon after CM3, i did see some Hulk promos on TV, you know the premiere bulid up and all in the States and in the U.K. Ferrigno was talking about how great the Hulk movie was, but the CGI Hulk can't give out Autographs or meet you in person. i was watching in shock and said. You left out the part where 'YOU' demand "money" up front, first!!! I couldn't believe it. After that i saw plenty of the Hulk movie's behind the scenes footage and documentaries and stuff where the new film was discussed. Months later on E! Entertainment on Satellite, i remember when they talked about the deleted scenes from the movie that would be on the DVD? I stopped caring when one of them had Ferrigno on it! True, but like Ferrigno. George Takei's agent back last October was another pain in the butt. I didn't mind talking to the other one sitting next to Mr Takei, but the one in glasses was looking out for himself it seems? Mr Takei was great, but his agent nearly spoiled the experience for me indeed. Which brings me to another point i should address in another thread. Stars and their assistants? Later

Nope, call it a bad experience but along with me, i saw a lot people annoyed after seeing him. I went up to him asking for a picture to be taken with him. And he, along with his assistant wanted me to pay up cash to get a picture first?! Although the sign in plain sight said £15 or a picture with your own camera free! [To That Effect] Your thread makes me think, there has been very few requests for him back! Can't say i'm surprised. I wasn't the only one disappointed with him last year. No matter how slow the stars day is. Don't take advantage of people just because you're not pulling them in because the other stars present are doing better business than you. I found Ferrigno unprofessional. As did some other i saw walking away with very disappointing looks and under the breath style comments made about him. I'm no cheapo. And have gone to conventions spending a fair amount. Been to CM 3 times. doesn't matter how big the star. If they've got a bad attitude, you wouldn't want to see them again. Wish i could be for positive on the matter for you djw87, as CM generally has great guests. But i tell it as it is and have shared what i've thought of him. Lou Ferrigno <_< Later.

Showmasters Richard Hatch plays his trailers all over the U.S. in whatever convention he is in. For those that don't know. Richard Hatch struggled for years to convince Universal studios to revive Battlestar Galactica as a new series, along with the original cast. To layout his vision of ideas to Universal he made Battlestar Galactica:The Second Coming a new verison of the classic series but all Re-vamped up for the 21st Century with a massive epic vision and new ideas installed in this saga. This was before the 2001 announcement of the Bryan Singer/ Tom DeSanto version which didn't get picked up either. And the U.S. Sci-Fi Channel's reimagined version. This along with his own sci-fi saga The Great War Of Magellan. Has been made into movie style trailers, which Richard Hatch plays in conventions. My question is. What do Showmasters intend to do. How will Hatch get to play his trailers? Will there be a showing at the cinema, across the main roads from the shopping centre down the hill to the huge grey 'mound' at the end of the roads. Another issue is that so far, Richard Hatch doesn't charge people to see it? So will he be showing it throughout the day, in some room somewhere? What has been planned so far about his trailers. Many Galactica fans will no doubt converge on Collectormania to see Richard, Dirk. So all i want to know is, are there any special treats in store for people wanting to see Richard Hatch's trailers and well as himself and Dirk Benedict! Any news on this front would be very good for Collectormania! Thanks, Megafan

Gary Kurtz, is going to have alot of people trust me! Besides Mr Lucas the only other person responsible for the original Stars Wars movies (except Jedi) successful blockbuster breakthrough, in movies. I just know fans will question him about the REAL direction Return of the Jedi should have taken, his thoughts on the movies now movies in general and the prequels, etc. Far as the price of the other Star Wars stars? Funny stuff fella Only stars at Collectormania to draw that and be successful were the "Matrix Twins" and they came off a popular film franchise in 2003. Billy Dee and Carrie, being very realistic can't possibly ask that much can they? £20 to £25 is asking alot, and they would draw more people to them if they were asking for 15 bucks like most of the others. Don't get me wrong, Collectormania keeps getting bigger. But as i've seen from the past ones, stars asking for more then £15 end up getting less and look bored and start disappearing soon after the event reaches mid-day. I noticed showmasters closed the thread above about ticket/autographs prices! Do they know many people would complain or disagree with the prices to effect business. I ask cos, i'd like to see more events at cons that would make it an even better day out rather than, waiting in a line hearing shoppers pass by and say out loud HOW MUCH ARE THEY ASKING FOR!!!...EH..GOD WHAT A RIP OFF.. Etc. And if you've been to pass events, you know i'm not lying. I'd like to hear what others have to say about the situation and what they want from this Collectormania event.

Well, for me the only guest to disappoint me "flat out" was Lou Ferringo at "CM3". He wanted money straight up before i'd get my picture taken with him. maybe business wasn't so good for him when i went up to see him but i found him and his on hand helper, just flat out rude. And they clearly weren't abiding by what was seen those signs saying £15 pounds for an autograph - £20 with your own merchandise or free photograph etc. Hell i saw two body builders go up to him, and when they walked away they weren't as happy as they had been when they walked up to him? Maybe i wasn't the only one disappointed with him that day! Peter Weller wasn't too bad with me when i met him, but he did ask alot if i wanted an autograph, cos i'd ask his kind helper if it was alright if i just got my picture taken instead. inwhich case he said it's was o.k. I think it's fair Showmaster's realise, not everyone is made of money even though, i do bring cash to spend at shows. Stars ask for a lot. And getting your picture taken with them IS a huge bonus for the person/persons in 'question' and will be a lasting experience. I'd hate it, if whomever just blew me off just cos i wanted a picture with them. Rather than spend tons of cash just to find out "said" star, has an ego problem and treats signings at cons as, cold hard business. don't get me wrong, i'm no complainer. At these events you're somewhat lucky to even meet up with TV and movie stars at a shopping centre like Milton Keynes. I've never treated any guest badly nor have behaved out of order (although incidents with security over misunderstandings, shouldn't be included cos it's usually that. a misunderstanding which isn't your fault!) But, i don't think customers should be subjected to rudeness from stars either. There are plenty of A-listers hollywood TV/ movie stars; i wouldn't bat an eyelid to, get out of bed for or get an autograph from should they attend a convention like Collectormania. I like meeting the stars that have been at CM and other cons. getting th odd; autographs, the down to earth conversations, the photos taken etc is all fine with me. but i wouldn't put up with rudeness from them because they happen to appear on the TV and movie screens. If a star were to give some flak, isn't there the main Collectormania desk in the 'MK centre hall' to make complaints from?! either that or confront SM themselves and state your case? And no, i didn't start anything with Lou, i walked away. Yeah he blew me off a bit, but i wasn't interested in making a 'scene'. it upset me he was so money driven, but C3 as we all know, was great. And Mr Ferringo was the loser at the end of the day. Because, if i had such a great time with him, maybe i'd have coughed up £15 to get an autograph. Instead, i spend it on Burgerking and other stuff when i got back to London. Nuff said.

Too true. Thats how the bald guy got all riled up at me. He isn't scary just a jerk! And showmaster's still haven't let me get a word in! they gave me their phone number so, i wonder why they are blowing me off!

Wish i could say the same Kookie22, but when i went up a second time to Mr Pantoliano i had the extremely rude bald guy in a dark blue/ black looking suit on my tail giving me a lot of grief. My own take no S*** attitude my have rubbed him the wrong way, but he spoiled a good day. thus i didn't see Mr Pants for a second time.

Nicky, you've asked a fair and honest question. there maybe be rude customers out there. But what do you do when it happens to be the guest themselves? It's not a one way street with just the odd; rude pushy customer is it?

Joe Pants, may have been somewhat rude but maybe it was due to him being very tired. Or he hasn't been to many conventions and is put off by the events in general. But thats just my opinon. after i got a picture taken he was too busy getting a 'back rub' from one of his helpers. not bad, i'm not inhuman. But isn't it somewhat rude to blow off a customer just to say afterwards i'm off to get some rest and i'll be back later? i did talk to his american helper though, he was very friendly and talkable. I had a little conversation with about the day and although shy somewhat, he was more easy to talk to. As for rude guests at other conventions i'd say, John Delancie was one. i saw him at Birmingham's NEC, and at first i wanted my picture taken along with a little social conversation afterwards. his helper said i'd have to pay for an autograph before he could pose with me for a picture? strange but true, but Delancie said i could come back later and i'd get the picture taken. i came back later and what happened, i got the picture but he then blew me off to talk to his assistant? When he had no queue whatsoever. same thing more or less happened when i saw Lou Ferringo last year at CM. his asistant said i'd have to pay for a autograph before i could get a picture taken with Lou? thats like saying i'd have to pay before i could use my camera or paying up to use my camera. I maybe a fan of Movies and Televison actors and actresses. but in no way whatsoever do i worship stars. Or to the point where i foolishly do something gain a smile on their faces. i'm a smart guy and are a lot of people who go to cons. but i don't think it's right they treat fans like some of them do just because they are bored. you couldn't treat customers like that at work, your job could you? Whether you're bored or not. Maybe some of us get over excited at meeting some of them. but i worship no one. They should adapt better attitudes towards people, or people will respond negatively and 'word of mouth' travels far doesn't it. But the "money first attitude" £20 buck plus fees and grumpy behavior by stars who feel they should be getting more. Isn't going to improve the word of mouth feedback or encourage more people to see them is it. I think by the end of today, the stars should be made to see the Collectormania website itself and view the reactions they gave to people and let that be a future guide line, on how to best conduct yourself at a convention. This should also apply to the crew of CM as they too are apart of the problem when honest folk see stars. Don't get me wrong many of the "CM crew" work hard throughout the day's hard slog. But others have and show their personal bias at people's i want to take a simple picture, and don't spend too much dad comments. Many of us hear exactly whats been said under one's breath. I spent as much time with the dealers and artists. which was, as enjoyable rather than seeing bored guest and rude crew herding fans like cattle and wanting money up front or saying this and that about people behind their backs. Collectormania was great. but needs the 'bugs' worked out still.

He is indeed. he remembered me from last year too. i showed him my book with convention pictures and he was surprised. i'm amazed stars can remember a face from a year or two back. if you consider how many faces they see in their very busy lives at all. But a picture or two with some friendly social conversations going on can really be enjoyable for both them and you. Corin is a great guy and i hope he gets alot of success in whatever venture he undertakes!

Maybe Odeon cinema's website may cover that Skylover? best bet is to read that kind of news in empire magazine or to ask Odeon Cinemas themselves. I know this is Bohan thread and it's meant for talk about pictures that have been taken at CM. And i responded by thanking him and his very kind and caring father. But i'd like to say in closing, about my ordeal. That i'd still like to get in contact with Showmaster's head director soon either on this website or later on. i know he is busy dealing with his convention. but i'd like to clear the air as soon as possible. So not to have another incident happen. If i don't know who made a complaint against me either it being a guest/crew/security person, etc or a member of the public. How? will i avoid another incident like this and avoid major embarisment again. I've to Collecotmania twice before, in peace with no troubles at all. and i'd hate to think. This incident will repeat itself, if i reappear and the same person who made the complaint saw me and this were to happen again, and i walked into the same situation again. Isn't that not logical!!! Anyway Bohan, if i need to say anything i'll use your e-mail address. i still can't thank your family enough for you act of kindness again. although i hardly post here due to convention events; being so far apart. i won't forget. I still have to get a new e-mail account sorted at home. once i get it all worked out. I'd be happy to talk about anything. Anyway, i'm fine now people, thanks for all your concerns. Now the time to move onwards and i put the subject to bed with this last post, so please continue talking about CM and enjoy yourselves. and if anyone was to be in a similar unfortunate situation. I understand, and you have my complete understanding. BELIEVE ME i do. Later

Thanks, i've been to Collectormania twice before. and proved that fact to the showmaster's director. i had a great day talking to the dealers and stars. I don't know who said what or had a grudge against me. If it was a star i don't know but have a pretty good idea it wasn't most of the ones i saw. Sarah Douglas, Penny Johnson, Gates McFadden who i met for the first time. Also Ray Park* and Corin Nemec who i saw again [*since a con back 1999] were the kindest people i've had the pleasure of meeting. Beks, Pippinssweetpants and Jen, thank you also. Anyone who did see me before the incident knew how social i was. i should also say it was really that security guy for the stars that ws the bonehead not mall security in general. i forgot to mention there was a thief who passed me and a mall security fella as i was leaving. Thanks must also go to showmaster's director. how saw everything and me throughout the day i fathom and saw my things blown out of proportion. My guess is, he has been busy dealing with the convention as i've tried to contact him today. my only shame at the end of the day is seeing how a mere lacky of a security guy got to me. i'm no crybaby yet i'm shocked at how i reacted myself. Bohan, if you too live in london. i'm a film fan and my friends [we're in our late 20's ] and i go to premiere's events in london. if there is a big premiere in london i'm there. i suppose if you go to london and went to leicester square you'd see the mad rush to get a poster let alone the stars at a premiere. Anyway, Van Helsing is on Tuesday, if i see you there i could get you a poster if you want?

If that was you Bohan with your father, i'd like to say THANK YOU!!! I found you and your father to be very kind. Athough my embarrassing time with security wasn't due to not seeing Robert Englund. Hassled "Is" the correct term though. although it was the "wimpy" pencilnecked guy in black. Not the other security staff who were around at the time. i'm more disgusted that a lowly wimpy guy like that could get to me the way he did. and i feel sorry for anyone who had to witness the event like that. like i was the bad guy. Like all mis-understandings, it began by my accounts with security following around shadowing me. which i knew but wasn't bothered; as i know i'm not up to anything unreasonable, troublesome or anything like that. i was seeing the stars, being very social with people[showmasters crew], dealers and whatnot. as we've all being told. if you can't queue up you'll have to come back later. During all this there was the ticket system thing with several lines?! but not others. i stood and talked with crew about seeing certain stars and wanted to see and talk Joe again, as nothing was going on in his line. now i don't know if it was a crew complaint, from a member of the public or a star not wanting to see me for some odd reason. but i then the pencil neck geek in the black coat came up and "harassed" me with. About at first, that i wasn't allowed this and that etc. Then he said i'll have to go in another line. [if he reads this he'll disagree but it's the truth] then i talked with showmasters crew about the ticket thing and said i'll need one to see robert right? guy in black said i'll have to go to the front booth to get one. Inwhich one of the showmasters crew corrected him and said, No we have them you'd think he would lay off. then came out with i want you to walk away etc. without revealing whyor who said what complaint about me, without having the courage to speak up and say why. [was it a crew person or star or member of the public?!] i don't know, which is why i have to clear the air and leave no doubt, to anyone who will see me again at Collectormania shows again. Bohan, i'd like to thank you and your father for your act of kindness. i should have walked away with you lot earlier and was quite taken by the fact you wanted to return to london with me. But i didn't want to appear rude and forceful. Besides had to clear some matters up with security and showmaster's director, who says he didn't hold a grudge. As he saw for himself that i wasn't a violent man nor abusive, troublesome or anything like that. Those matters are still being worked out and no doubt. I still have to e-mail showmaster's head. as i want to sort out this matter by tomorrow. Once again, thank you and your kind father, for the help offered. The trouble with saturday's sad affair isn't over. if a star or crew had a reason to make a complaint. i'd like to know why? because even showmaster's director said i was cool with him. And i can come back to events in the future. but i'd like to know who accused me and what for. as it created a bad end for a generally great day. i'm no cry baby, but my embarassment and frustations got the better of me, and my reaction shocked me. im disgusted at own frustations though. Not anybody else. Bohan thank you once again. now i owe you, and your father. A huge favor.
