Pochacco

Jewel Staite and Paige Turco photo shoots booked!

If I may add my 2 pennies worth on here... I attended Saturday and upon arriving in the holding area within Gate H shortly after 8:30am, it was about 4/5 full. I was kindly directed in the right direction but I noticed some people walking in the opposite direction to me who ended up quite a few rows behind! Shortly after 9am, everyone was let in, with many making a beeline for upstairs. I think it was around 9:30am when I got my bearings on the first floor where guests were signing although here there are two particular points I wish to raise: No one for the life of me could tell me where Bonnie Langford was. I asked a blue t-shirt crew member who asked me to ask someone in red as she did not know. I found a red t-shirt guy who didn't know where she was either! I managed to eventually spot Bonnie tucked away by the Power Rangers Guests with no photo up, just her name. I expressed my dismay to her that she wasn't at least sat with or near Sylvester MCoy and Paul McGann, and she was as surprised herself. The queues backed up against each other meaning there was little room to pass through the middle of them to get to the other side. You may wish to consider for future events that this can be managed better. There was just a sea of people to wade through. Both Sylvester McCoy and Bonnie Langford I should add are superb guests. Very friendly and happy to chat I managed to finish seeing them by 10am which was excellent, allowing me to enjoy the rest of the show. The layout was huge and I felt that better planning for the first floor where the gaming areas were and upstairs where the YALC was situated should be considered for future. The areas were a little sparse. If anything the ground floor was a little crowded and on conversations with some of the stalls, some were not happy where they were situated especially as they had paid quite a bit. The connecting corridor area between the two big floors was rather dark and the stalls said that sales were not great as many people were just passing through without stopping. Perhaps consider this area to be vacant where people can sit down/ eat and have better lighted areas (e.g. the first floor) where it is better lighted for stalls to be situated. That's all I have to say really. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the day and year on year I see improvements but there is always room for more. Many Thanks Showmasters.

I put mine in a plastic folder although I always tend to display two at a time in my study in frames. Currently have Ariana Richards and Liz White on display :)

I asked about this on Friday - not one of the helpers on the front doors could tell me where I could get one. I didn't see anywhere selling them either #missedopportunity. I guess I went home £5 up than I would have been

I would like to say thank you to all the staff on the Friday - I spoke to a fair few during the course of the day (usually for directions!). If they couldn't provide me with a clear answer they'd kindly advise me to a colleague of theirs. Nothing smacked of disorganisation from my perspective regarding the staff. I appreciate things can get manic and things can be changed about but they were all courteous and professional regardless which says oodles for me.

I met Kelly Hu a few years ago when she was in town - despite jetting over from Russia early morn she was very friendly signing and at the photo shoot - bless her she even said she wanted to do another shoot at 5:30pm today! What a trooper :)

I'll probably play a little Arkham Knight before considering what to pack for tomorrow!

I was thinking Carice would be there on Friday since that's what the main site says but clicking thru this forum it says she's only attending Sat and Sun! http://www.londonfilmandcomiccon.com/index.php/9-lfcc-guests/london-guests-filmandtv/216-carice-van-houten

That's Ralph's missus :-) no its not lol ... Oh? My mate thought she was - ah well not that it bothers me

They only had Leonardo and Michelangelo ones - both smell the same to me (smokey bacon). I'll stick em down the radiator at work next to a colleague I'm not so keen on and see whether he notices lol

Ariana was lovely to meet - she was one of my first crushes after watching Jurassic Park

Nicola was great - she took time to tell me what her cryptic tweet was of last night! She also tweeted a reply to me this evening

Today was the best LFCC event that I've attended in years - quick Early Bird Entry shortly after 9am, lots of space and I got all my autos done by 10am! The guests were great - Ariana, Ralph, Catrin, Nicola and Liz were a joy to chat with. Well done Showmasters!

That's Ralph's missus :-)

Showmaster's Instagramed their availability for free this morning - four different pizza flavoured ones!

Looking forward to tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be as quiet early morn :)

Great announcement - another guest to see on Sunday :)

I'm glad Ariana is coming to this event after missing her at the last one! Well done Showmasters! Most excited now

Early bird Sunday booked for me - can't wait

I was tweeting Josephine Gillan (Marei - GoT) the other day and she said that she'd be down for the Saturday.

You mean this person? https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/10456826_266281703559644_5332001978249758127_n.jpg?oh=c7e39eb531d8b9c8b6cafcd87c1c3bfa&oe=544A8583&__gda__=1414444603_d5f263c162f73f7f15b2ed9cde2dabe1 http://bsgcylonsix.wix.com/cylon-six-copy (I follow the Battlestar Galactica Fan & Costuming Club UK page on facebook for my sins!)

They had them along the back wall at MK Dons Collectormania on the Friday I went earlier this year and it worked well in my eyes. SM really need to work on planning the footfall route around the area so avoid issues with crowd merging and congestion in general.

Has to be the O2 surely. It's the only other viable option with so many people attending year on year.

He probably won't personalise the photo for you though, which is a shame. I got his autograph last year and felt ripped off somewhat for the £30 I paid. Apart from hello, he was so busy, he just signed and that was it As for guests I'd like to see: Maryam D'Abo (it's been some years since she last attended a Showmasters event) Arianna Richards (i missed her last yr) Stephen Amell Caity Lotz Emily Bett Rickards Manu Bennett Kevin Conroy Timothy Dalton Maggie Q

Here is a link to mine (it was showing up too big here!): https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/t31.0-8/10295097_10154103630250696_6686604441954850147_o.jpg That's an awesome photo
