Whoop what a great read it keep me going though my cardio at the gym glad you had a great experience with all ur guests, what a pleasure to actually talk to you in the Saturday.

Does this work the same on phones as I gave it a bash but still wont share I dont have a computer Im strange I know lol Thanks for insta love people good to see peoples faces out side the forum

So I really am computer illiterate I can’t put my pics on here so if you want to see mine feel feee to follow me on Facebook (Colleen hindley) or insta (chind1987) always good to make new friends

One of the best guests at the weekend really enjoyed meeting him so down to earth and a great talk, open honest and funny I kinda wanted there to be one on Sunday so I could hear him talk again i would of gone back again lol. Very funny and enaggaing in his autographs an overall great guest experiance

I would also like to say the crew members who where managing this queue it was very stresseful for them and the pit bosss they deserve a pat on the back, by the time Sunday came we where all tried and groogy and they answered question after question and had to put up with a lot of feed up woman, I missed my train and then got lost trying to get on another one but hay looking in to Ians eyes was totally worth it

exactly that they also shouldnt pick and choose who is more capable and who isnt it should be the same rule for all

this is no way a dig at showmasters and the comic con they run because the people they employ our volunteers at the end of the day, I think venue aspect has improved and the quailty of guests, and the overall way it was conducted was fantastic, its just the few that have let it down a combination of heat, long days and a rush of people wanting the same thing made everyone a bit cranky and miserable and a select few that may have not been briefed properly. Can only have faith that this is something that can be addressed for next year and mayb in a briefing in the morning go though what the bands mean so crew understand a little more what each one is about may help for next time round

There needs to be more people like you that have understanding , I am glad i caught a glimpse now next time i can actually say hello properly with out me awkwardly trying to stare you out lol See I thought it was after DP passes which I was happy to wait for I didnt go striaght till his queue I waited twenty minutes as I sat down and left it till late as possible and then went over in which I witnessed a pit boss shout at a lady with a walking stick to wait untill the end of the shoot if she couldnt handle walking, a few people complained about this crew memeber just as I got out of the shoot and what they had witnessed. I think both crew and general public reactions where just as bad and a lack of knowledge of knowing what the band means caused the confusion to. General public just think its a way to cheat the system even though you have to prove it before you get the band anyway I had VQs for people and even when my number was called I was told to wait further back for twenty minutes I waited and other access walked up and was lead to the front I didnt even want to push to the front I just wanted to go in to the queue, when I showed her my band she just said your have to wait like everyone else you dont deserve your band. Same happened in the brenden frasier photo shoot I waited till DP passes had been called I had batch 2 was told I had to join the back of a queue ok I did and waitd 45 minutes in the mean time some access was pulled to the front and taken striaght though by crew i was told if they see you as capable then you have to join the back of the queue like everyone else.

even the hard hearted bears heart melted under the gaze of ian thats gotta mean he was good

Comments like that should be keep to themselves becuase I have my hair covering my ears as I dont like to have them on show it gets abit annoying having to keep proving it to everyone by yanking my hair back, had to actually show memebers of the crew at one point becuase I couldnt hear him he ended up just tutting at me. As there is no loop feed and the venue gets noisy makes it even harder DP passes have the right to go before you guys have paid for the priviledge of going in first I had batch one on Tom felton and waited quietly to one side untill they where called and joined the queue he thought that I was abusing the system but had been waiting like everyone else . I did give a smile I didnt want to shout out incase you thought I was a crazy lady lol but glad i got a glimpse nice to put faces to the forum

he was only on batch 5 when I left at 5 o clock and there had about 12 D P batches to get though

us woman are simply creatures give us a chance to meet Ian Somerhalder and we will be happy humans glad she had such a great experiance

I have attempted six times to get this man because of a few cancellations in the past and dam he was worth the wait and Dp pass money. Thank you LFCC and Jason for making this possible. Dont get me wrong it over run all weekend but he was proberly my best experiance of the weekend. Took time to chat to everyone in his photo shoot. I didnt want to look him to closley in to thoses baby blue eyes otherwise I would of been a puddle on the floor. To the photo shoot lady and the crew who dealt with Ian you did suffer all day however for us fans he was brillant, charming, funny and the nicest guy Nikki Reed is one lucky lady. If LFCC get him again I would hands down buy him again and DP pass him again, but now we know what he is like maybe a few less dp passes and batches for the shake of the crew members having a heartattack over, overeager fan girls

Thank you It was an extremely common occurance for me over the weekend from crew and generally public I think if its not visbile then they just dont understand Im more shocked about the wheelchair comments there is no need for general ignorance in this world. I mean that was the only downer of the con when it came to guest meets, photos, stall areas all massive fun and big improvements. I came away very deflated and on sunday evening considered if it was worth the same treatment next year from it it be something I seriously have to consider

I feel access had it a little rough this year on Sunday I was in the queue for Tom Felton I waited for dp to go though, when I was near the front a guy pinged my wrist band and said 'do you actually need that or are you playing the system to get in quicker' the woman in the blue t shirt looked horrified so did the rest of the access people especially when I turned round and said yes I am actually deaf and showed him my hearing aids but becasuse I cover my hair with them no one sees them, he did look a bit shocked after that. He apologised after the photoshoot

Overall I had a great weekend at lfcc I won’t rant the problems i this post I think I expressed them in day 1 and 2 posts and still had the same issues today sadly hopefully next year this will be addressed I have faith my highs amiee Garcia- she’s amazing such a super bubbly happy person and I’m now in her Instagram feed. Some what embarrassed and a little awkward but I’m on there and she was just so lovely really worth the money spent on her matthew illiard- what a crazy guy but so much fun I enjoyed his talk open and honest, feet hugs and funny interactions Ian somerhalder - I wasn’t fussed before but got his dp pass had his photo really impressed with how amazing he was to all people with n his queue I was first this morning for photo he bare hugged me and wouldn’t let go told me I smelt nice, I heard up a sign in the photo shoot that said who ‘who needs Edward Cullen when you have a Salvatore brother, he looked at it smiled and shouted spam Edward Cullen who **** needs him and then high fives me. At this point I died of happiness and may of slightly wet myself looking into his eyes same at his auto queue had time for everyone and worth the wait gentleman, im done swooning now lol manu Bennett- fan don’t look in to those eyes I was hypnotised and those tanned muscles (I am a woman I will look I will perv and I will appreciate the fine contours of that man) pulled me in for hug at auto table and kissed me in the check I may never wash that cheek again robert Carlyle- got my photo Sunday afternoon we where told no poses no touching no hugs but he did give a very good hug and was just lovely so pleased shame I didn’t get his auto one I missed david Morrisey- loved him in the films about born romantic we talked about for a long time as no one was in his queue and said it was his favourite film to do as he had to learn salsa, we then talked about his love of love island and my hate for it I meet so many guests this weekend. blake Harrison, Emily de Ravin, Tom Felton, Finn Jones, Ben Barnes, joe Thomas, Brendan frasier all fab in there own way layout so much better more space to move around must admit I did get lost a few times but I’m rubbish with directions I can get lost in a lift lol great guest variety this year also got to met some of you fab people on the forum finally still a few I missed but great meeting you it’s been a pleasure

He overrun for the last two days however for the interaction and the time he spent with people I would pay for that again. He was just lovely just don’t look into his eyes you know I’ll faint just looking at those baby blues

Day two love amiee Garcia I mean what a pocket rocket, Manu Bennett dreamy pulled me in to his desk for kiss on the cheek and a cuddle as he remembered me what a lovely human he is. got all my photos with no delays and had a day of eating cake and American candy Jason works hard to get this con up and running and I for one love it the only thing is the same as yesterday was shunned and looked up and down by crew, got told there was an open queue come back they had that person on vq I got a vq and came back later in the day my number had been called got told no you can’t enter your have to wait two seconds later a lady came in had an access band just like me was pulled up in her front of the queue I don’t want to go to the front of the queue I just want join the line Brendan frasier phot am came in waited for dp passes to go though had batch one was told to go to the back of the queue said I’m having trouble standing showed her my band still said back of the queue, an hour later and a few access joined the queue they where pulled out and put to the front I shower the man I had the same badge was told I still had to wait ok so I waited again more access come and get taken though to the front same with amiee garcia queue wasn’t to the white line was told to come back came back ten minutes later again no entry a lady walked up complaining she had to get her auto as she had a photo shoot in ten got in to the queue atm sitting in my hotel room very stiff and sore joints for standing for long periods of time guests where great none a bad experience in getting to the point I’m in pain and don’t want to return tomorrow except I have more photos tomorrow please lots not anything personal to the the top dogs who run it it’s stressful and crazy I totally understand please brief queue on bands I had one openly admit they didn’t know about them or what the colour meant

Sadly it was a she and didn’t see her name but was working near the Gemma whelan and Matthew illiard queue at the time no red shirts about but it was extremely busy round this area. I just hope people are briefed more tomorrow and no more upset tomorrow fingers crossed

Thank you hun that’s really nice hoping tomorrow will be better guessing first day stress and all that normally never have an issue always full of love and fun so I was surprised as well xx

Thank you tomorrow is a different day so hopefully not the same experience it’s a shame I wasn’t the only person to experience this today either with is a shame x

Honestly I can’t fault showmasters usually really great all the times I have been and don’t usually have any issues first time with a band I’m not saying I want to go to the front of a queue I just wanted to join the back with my correct number, I really did feel humiliated it was horrible

So to start first day guest I meet so lovely and chatty, some great free talks, and layout so much better only thing that ruined it for me I’m usually one to praise but after I had leave because the crew member had me tears was the way I was spoken to on two occasions I had vq tickets low number no diamond pass queue and have an access band one for one of the crew to look at me up and down and raise an eyebrow and told me to come back twenty mins later I came back twenty mins later to be told that person was going for lunch ok fine. I stepped back two people with access bands walked up and was allowed in the queue. Prepared to let that go second incident was told I couldn’t join a queue as vq had 1-120 I had 101 they said that guest was only doing up to 95 again another access banded person walks up they show there band and was walked to the front of the queue I heard one lady tell me that I shouldn’t get a band in all apart from these incidents I had a all round good time
