I like this idea. A separate queue for those whose first thought upon entering is to get a Stan Lee VQ ticket. To stop people running and scrambling to find the right place, the queue is given the vq ticket as soon as they are allowed in the door. Also, as I'm not after Stan's auto, it would make my early bird queue a lot shorter! It would have to be very well signposted though. A use of barriers to funnel people into the right direction would be useful.

The last 10 or so photos of Gigi Edgley's Saturday shoot don't have the 'add to cart' option. One of them's me

I always smirk a little at threads like these, knowing that 99% of people are going to end up disappointed (I'm mean like that). But I've just had the idea that it could be my personal number one guest choice Hayao Miyazaki, and now I'm going to be the disappointed one. Technically, he doesn't even work behind a camera.

Photoshoots are quicker so more people will now get photos than won't get autographs. Also, it will give his signing hand a rest - he would have had to take breaks every so often anyway.

Well that's the show ruined.

From the sounds of things, most of the men in the 'Ladies of Sci-fi' talk had done exactly that.

Thank you. Can I get these when I get there in the morning or are they given just before the talk? They should be available first thing.

Soon.

If they hadn't said anything, then announced it this close to the event, you'd have a bunch of people complaining that they had already booked tickets to the Saturday and finalised travel plans and asking why couldn't there have been some kind of warning. The problems have just been caused by the delays in getting the whatever it is confirmed - which is for reasons none of us have a clue about (not even the mods). Whether they gave the warning or not, the organisers were in a bit of a no win position.

They do try to redress the balance between Saturday and Sunday attendance. Like, for example, purely hypothetically, promising something big for the Sunday only.

Is this your subtle way of telling us you are Buck Rogers?

PINK ONE, PINK ONE, PINK ONE! Or, you know, whatever. Not really fussed.

If only. The 'you'll never guess' steers me away from the usual type of guest. Think outside the box. I'm going for Bungle from Rainbow.

That depends on who's doing the flashing.

Anyone looking to bid might want to check on the rules. I always understood a Silent Auction to be whoever places the highest bid pays the full amount of their bid. Not like eBay's proxy bidding system. Just something to think about for anyone looking to bid £1m!
