And just like that I am now attending an event I hadn't planned on attending

This was my first major event since Spring 2020 and overall it was an enjoyable experience.
Negatives
- Saturday was insanely busy. I gave up after my last photo as it was too crowded. No looking at stalls or getting any autographs so money saved there.
- Lack of signs and communication. This tends to be a common theme which should be relatively easy to resolve.
- Christopher Lloyd and the DeLorean photo shoot on Saturday was shambolic. Mainly due to the location and sheer number of people.
- In previous years the DP gifts were more original. This year all mine were enlargements of standard 8 x 10 photos which was a tad boring.
I am probably not the only one buying fewer tickets as I would prefer refunds when guests cancel. I would rather not keep money tied up in ShowMasters as vouchers.
Positives
- All the guests I met were lovely. The photo shoots with Alex Kingston, Eric Roberts and Robert Englund were especially enjoyable.
- The crew I had dealings with were helpful and friendly although a few did seem a little overwhelmed. Big shout out to the staff at photo area B who were very well organised.
- For a wuss like me who doesn't like the heat the new air-conditioning system was a lot more efficient.
- In any of the photo queues I was in people were very accommodating to those less able. Maybe I was lucky in that respect.
- I got the majority of my autos on Sunday. No issues in the main signing area and got everything I wanted.
- Day 3 and still testing negative for Covid. Fingers crossed I dodged that particular bullet.
With the right guests I would be tempted to return but may be more likely to opt for Spring or Winter.
It would be interesting to hear other people's thoughts.

Getting out at Olympia overground station tomorrow, which way do I go once exiting the station for the entrance? Hoping to follow others but if no signs up it may be very confusing to most
Turn left out of the station. There are plenty of marshalls and a barriered path to follow. Only takes a few minutes.

Just wondering if they are still doing building work on Olympia? As at the spring lfcc made it a pain getting in and out don't even know what they were actually doing with it
I didn't go to the spring event but there is certainly a lot of building work around Olympia.

Not so short if my memory serves me correctly
