[LFCC Talk and Photo Schedule]

I have a Sigourney Weaver Diamond Pass batch 2. I will be attending all 3 days. Which photo shoots am I supposed to attend?

[Diamond Pass Post Out Questions]

Confirmed: Diamond Passes are still being mailed. The mailing for the last group (Sigourney, Michael Gambon, Bill Paxton) has not started yet, but the passes should start arriving early next week.

 

There will be a Diamond Pass collection point in case anything goes amiss.

I bought a Diamond Pass for Sigourney on Wednesday. I live in South Africa and the postal services are terrible (always striking, very slow). I have emailed the shop and asked to rather collect my pass from the venue than for it to be posted to me. I haven't received a reply or confirmation so I'm just telling Queen Sindel so that someone knows.

[Where are we all Travelling From?]

Belgium.

 

And on a sidenote: damn the English pound to be this strong (or the Euro for being so weak)! A 20 pound autograph now costs 28 euros, 3 more than last year

Hey! One GBP is equivalent to almost 20ZAR so don't complain. ;-(

[Shopping lists..]

Anything Alien-related.

 

My poor South African Rand (ZAR) is going to suffer terribly.

[Forum Meet Up - Saturday 18th July]

Sounds good!

[Where are we all Travelling From?]

South Africa!

[Diamond pass questions]

I actually have the same question. I want to purchase a Diamond Pass for Sigourney, but live in South Africa. The postal system here is really shoddy so I'd rather have it posted to the hotel where I'll be staying. Will this be possible?

[Cash machines?]

I was thinking more of the night before each day. Not wanting to take all my money I need for all 3 days. Gonna work out how much I need for each day

How much do you think you will need each day? I'm an international visitor and will also need to figure that out.

[International Attendees to LFCC]

Ha ha, dankie, Best Boy.

 

I feel much better now, and appreciate the answers.

 

I am in the final year of my PhD, and my topic is fandom and fan cultures. So I guess LFCC is going to be a bit of a research experience for me as well. I have only one photoshoot booked, and that is for Jeremy Bulluch in his Boba Fett costume. My primary purpose is to experience the event from a fan perspective and to watch fans in their "natural environment". Interestingly I am not coming to meet the guests - I am coming to study the fans! And I am very excited.

[International Attendees to LFCC]

I am attending LFCC as part of trip to the UK. I am coming from South Africa, and I bought a gold pass so that I could get the full experience. I have not attended a Comic Con before so I have no idea what to expect. I'll be honest, reading the posts regarding disappointment from last year is quite disheartening. I have spent a ton of money on my trip (if you consider the exchange rate: 1GBP = 19ZAR), and I really want this to be an event not to be forgotten. I guess what I'm saying is that I hope it will be worth the money I'm spending, and that I won't have to wait in queues for hours or feel like "cattle", as I read somewhere, and that I'll be able to rest in the chill room.
