  1. It is me! But, and forgive me for asking, who be you?
  2. Also, I've just seen the other post about exactly this from a couple of days ago, and should point out that on ALL shoots concerned including Adam's I specifically asked the person scanning tickets if I would need a token, which I have needed in the past for guests with whom I've bought more than one photo on my own, and was told unquestionably "no".
  3. I really want to say a massive thank you to David, who being the last autograph that I wanted to get on Friday, went above and beyond. I'd come from the late-running William Shatner captain's chair shoot very late in the day, and David had already packed up but was by his desk chatting. I started talking to him and it quickly came up that I'd not gotten around to getting him to sign my AWIL steelbook, to which, without hesitation, he said he would sign then and there. It really made my weekend, what a kind and lovely man he is! Thank you, David!
  4. Something that I do have to bring up is the policy regarding two people in one photo at this summer's event. I was always under the impression, and still very much am, that if person A and person B both buy a photo op, then they have the choice to either: Have two separate photos individually (obviously) Or have two photos with both people in This has always been the case in the past, however this year, numerous occasions arose where this was questioned or even not allowed. After me and my friend got two great photos together with Kane Hodder no problem, we went straight over to Adam Baldwin's shoot and, after our first photo was taken, were told that if we wanted two photos together we would need additional photo ops (i.e. we would need to each buy TWO photos) Essentially, to cut an I-am-bad-at-explaining post short, the blue shirts on Adam's booth (D - Saturday) were under the impression that us EACH having a photo pass meant that if we got ONE photo, that was both of our passes validated, which of course it isn't. It led to the both of us arguing it out with the blue shirt in front of Adam while a poor queue of people behind us were all waiting for their photos. In the end Adam, being sensible, just took another picture with us telling us to sort it out afterwards. An hour or so later we were told the same thing by another attendant at Photo H for Kirk Acevedo, so we began to think perhaps the Showmasters policy had changed. However at Photo C for Jason Momoa, the young lady there was fine with us having the two photos with both of us in, and seemingly almost expected it. It's important that we the attendees know what is going on, but more so the blue shirts in the photo areas know a universal rule to avoid embarrassing situations like our Adam Baldwin one. By the end of the day, photos that we had planned for a long while in advance to have together, ended being individual ones, just to avoid potentially embarrassing ourselves fighting with an attendant mid-photo. Just something to bring up with regard to training etc for next time :)
  5. Thirded. Since I started going to cons he was #1 on my want list and just truly the nicest, most engaging person I may have ever met!
  6. For just a millisecond there my brain screamed, "There's a French Ian Somerhalder?!"
  7. Yeah only the chair itself was real. I saw it the Saturday morning hilariously tossed in the corner of Robert Carlyle's shoot too so I don't think it was particularly well-made, but it more than did the job
  8. Thanks =D Yeah it was my first ever green screen shoot and I've gotta say I'm really impressed. I wouldn't hesitate to do another in future!
  9. @Matt Thornton I queued up next to you in the entrance queue Saturday morning!
  10. Ah that's the book you were talking about! Awesome! Great photo! Yeah he was an absolute giant in height AND width!
  11. As my photo was cancelled for Friday I decided instead to get an autograph on Sat. Actually really glad it worked out that way as I wouldn't have had long at all to talk to him at a photo, but I spent quite a while with him at the desk as he had no queue. An absolute sweetheart. He was having his lunch at the table but wouldn't hear of me coming back later and even offered me half of his fruit! A really terrific guest, hope to get the photo another time but chuffed with how it worked out :)
  12. One of the highlights of my weekend was meeting CJ Graham. Out of costume he was a funny and really interesting guy, I had a nice long chat with him at his desk. IN costume he WAS Jason Voorhees, in all his terrifying majesty! He pushed and shoved and grabbed people as they were getting their photos taken creating SUCH a scary and realistic Jason experience. He grabbed me by my shirt and almost lifted me entirely off the ground! It was absolutely mortifying and I loved it so much! Great guy!
  13. Do you have a picture? I wanna see the elegant curly!
  14. The tall guy organizing the queue on Photo A became my hero over the weekend. Extremely efficient under sometimes incredibly difficult circumstances. You saved my bacon a couple of times, thank you!
  15. And by the above I mean this, but didn't click "quote" lol
  16. Keep checking back for CJ Graham his queue goes frequently from massive to empty. Kane and JJC are EXTREMELY slow as they both talk, but both are MUCH more than worth queuing for. Such wonderful and amazing people <3
  17. I have never experienced chaos like Ian's queue today. In the end it was almost funny in a depressing way. I took to just watching everyone fanning themselves with their tickets for two hours. Worth it in the end though. He was lovely.
  18. After a day of saying, "It's Jon, J-O-N, no H" I was particularly amused when James Jude Courtney signed my Michael Myers poster "Dear John No H..."
  19. I must have seen you then as I did it too and I believe there was a grand total of 16 of us So happy with mine and agree completely this should happen more!
  20. The kindest funniest guy. Took the time to talk to everyone personally, just lovely.
  21. JJC was so so SO happy to be there! What an absolute love!
  22. It was weird he had a desk and everything but we turned up to the shoot and no Franco! I was told he will be there tomorrow though...
