My phone had an unfortunate interaction with the floor... Do you guys think the scanners will still be able to read the QR codes or should I print my tickets? There's some impressive smashing on there, although in Apple Wallet the codes are at the bottom of the screen which is least affected...

On the topic of the chair shoots/prop shoots... is there or has there in the past been a limit on how you can sit, cos I have a mental image of being slumped in the chair, legs over the arm in Hogwarts robes that I would love to make reality!

The two guys who joined us (real world people) both got one, I was a lot jealous! Still hunting for the Unown. All I need for Gen 2 Euro-dex.

Eternally glad I begged Saturday off in case I wouldn't have made it to the venue after work for the Alan Tudyk talk. I wouldn't have (and that would have been an impossible clash! LOL) No clashes and everything planned listed in a wee note on my phone. Huzzah.

Rhydon we got down to a slither of red with 4, probably would have got it if we hadn't suffered glitches. Got it easily when 2 other players popped up in the list. (Very annoyed not to get a TM with it though)

Thanks, I spotted it on third look at the image and rightly feel very dumb now! (Had been looking round the edges mostly for it!)

This might be (and probably is) a dumb question but... Where's the entrance? I can't see it labelled.

We got about 2/3's of the way to getting one with just three of us locally, would be awesome to have a bigger group and actually stand a chance of taking it down. Successfully completed one at the weekend (Rhydon), living out of the city makes it hard to get a group together with enough time.

Mum and I will be online wifi/connection allowing on Friday, with me flying solo Saturday. A quick look on London PoGo map shows there is at least one gym at/near the Olympia, here's hoping for some decent boss raids in the duration. Would be nice not to struggle to get help with the higher tiers.

Giancarlo Fisichella. Italian (former) F1 driver (1996-2009), winner of 3 Grand Prix and twice winner in the GTE Pro category at the Le Mans 24 hour race. One of my Forever Favourites. I am very impressed you'd heard of Andy Priaulx btw!

All three Silverstone hats and the DTM one... Um, yeah, we like Andy!

Yup, he is on the white cap on the left in that picture (although that wasn't from a BTCC meeting, ran into him at another race, repeatedly)

Technically Collectormania has sports people, so this collection counts... Just... Baseball caps signed by various motorsports people, including some ex F1, race winners... The pink one at the bottom has an extra special one on the underside of the rim Patrick Dempsey. The fruits of my labours standing around cold race tracks!

Matthew Lewis, Christian Coulson (young Voldy) and the Phelps twins at some (quite) early Collectormania's back in the shopping centre.

Have now added a Dean Cain photo on Friday. Also definitely able to go Saturday so debating a Sean Biggerstaff picture/Auto (If I do that I'll be wearing my Hufflepuff robes for the day!)

Cool thanks, I'll make sure to prioritise him for that then!

Actual sensible question... Will VQ tickets for him be available from opening on Friday, or from his time at the show starting? I'm assuming from opening, but thought it best to check.

So my likelihood of getting a huggy birthday picture is good then?!? OMG I'm meeting Superman. (I am SO going to revert to giggly teenager!)

This has made what was shaping up to be a pretty awesome Birthday EVEN BETTER! I couldn't get to Collectormania and was mega jealous of my friend who did go and met him! Shall book shoot when mum gets home (need to check if she wants one too, I am guessing not, but it's only polite!)

Gaaah, knew I would miss something, also seen Priscilla Queen of the Dessert. How could I forget that one?!? Oh, and Never Forget. And Grease.

Wicked is, I think, my favourite. Definitely the one I've seen the most... (23 times, I think, I've kind of lost count tbh) I love everything about it, the music is incredible and I love the familiarity of the story (from Wizard of Oz) but the different view of it. The characters are incredible and the set breathtaking. It helps that my first, and most seen, Elphaba was breathtakingly good and totally made me love it even more than I would have without her. I also looooove Rocky Horror Picture Show (never one to resist a chance to dress up!). It's so funny, and incredibly silly, but the music is incredible, and one time we saw it we had the great Richard O'Brien as Narrator which will never be beaten. Seen... Wicked, Rocky Horror, Phantom of the Opera, Chicago, Starlight Express, Avenue Q, Hairspray, Godspell, Joseph, War Horse (does that count? There was music), Once, The War of the Worlds, We Will Rock You... I think that's it.

Also check how many days a guest is doing - if you want to see someone who is only doing one day arriving earlier to get a lower VQ ticket is advisable as everyone who wants to see that person will also have to do it on that day.

So far not many at all... Alan Tudyk - Diamond Pass Chris Judge - Photo Am sure more will come up when we are there though! But they are my only two definite.

It's odd, I actually find it easier to be around the con and interact with people if I am in Cosplay. It's like I can take on the character and leave regular Jo at the door.
