    Autograph holders

    in London Film & Comic Con 2016

    Posted

    Well, who knew there were so many ways to store autos/photos.

     

    At the event I use a display book to store any autos/photos I get putting an A4 sheet of paper on top to stop the auto going walkabout. As for storing at home, I just use lever arch folders and A4 pockets from WH Smiths! 15 years in and all autos/photos doing well.

    Post event thoughts of weekend from Showmasters

    I have to say I agree with a lot of what has been said already...

     

    Photo-shoots and Autographs on one floor each would be awesome (ground floor to 3rd floor was quite a trek!)

     

    This was my first time going Gold... ...loved it, will be going Gold again. I have read other posts of people having a moan (what else is the internet for) about Gold and Diamond. The only reason I went Gold this time was because I could see running around getting VQ's and keeping an eye on them was going to be a nightmare! The only Diamond guest I didn't get was MJF, just didn't have the money this time, managed to get the others though. I do think having the program in the bag would be more useful than the other stuff. Also, the chill out room not being available the whole weekend :(

     

    Luckily I found the other staircase on Saturday, where people were keeping cool, so managed to move around quite easily well, until I had to get across Level 1 of course!

     

    I really enjoyed the weekend... ...busy, hot, but I got everyone I wanted (and couple of extras!).

     

    I'll start saving now for next year so that I can go Gold again and get any Diamond passes that I may want (quick query for any Diamond pass holders here: Were Diamond guests personalising for Diamond pass holders?).

     

    I may also set up a stall selling those mini-hand fans!

     

    Anyway, bring on next year :)

    This is one of those threads I see from time to time... ...that I really don't understand!?!

     

    I go to SM signing events for the guests, if they're are no guests I want to meet, guess what... ...I don't go! :o I know, radical! I don't come on here and say why isn't Rhona Mitra at this event (although if SM do ever manage to get her, I'm there!)

     

    If you go to meet up with friends then the guests are a bonus. This is reminding me of people saying that the recent LFCC was really quiet what's going on, when back in Summer they were complaining that there were too many people!?!

     

    If a guest is announced I want to meet I'll go or, if not, I wont. I think I'll just have to accept that I really don't understand people and that the

    anonymity of the internet emboldens people.

    Sarah Connor double photoshoot?

    in London Film and Comic Con 2013

    Posted

    Don't know if this has already been asked, or possible for that matter, but seeing as we have both Sarah Connors (Linda Hamilton and Lena Headey) would it be possible to have a double photoshoot?

     

    I already have a single with each but a double... ...when's the likely hood of having them both at the same event again?

     

    Would be great if this could happen :smile:

    Digital Photo... ...missing!?!

    in General chat

    Posted

    For a change, I'd like to ask what do we do if our photo isn't in the digital photo gallery!?!

     

    I had a photo with the Avellan Twins on the Sunday at EMS and I've just had a look for the photo but I can't see myself!?!

     

    I've been through it a few times and unless I've forgotten what I look like (which I don't think I have!?!) it's not there. I haven't looked at any other galleries yet but the Twins was one of the smaller ones so I thought it would be easier!?!

     

    I'm not overly concerned as I have the printed copy and I scanned that in. More a case of if I wanted it.

    Who was your favourite guest and why?

    in Entertainment Media Show

    All the guests I met were great!

     

    I have to agree that Dean Cain was so friendly and happy to talk. So glad I met him and liked my Smallville poster (which he said he'd sign next to the 'S') - an absolute gent!

     

    Meeting Dan Slott was amazing (see what I did there). I apologised for bringing so many comics for him to sign, I didn't bring everything but it was tough deciding what not to bring, he said don't be silly go home and bring the rest! So happy talking about things, excited about what's coming up, without giving any details, and that he was enjoying the show as a fan himself! - Thwip, Thwip!

     

    For me though the highlight of the weekend has to be the Avellan twins! :wub: I met them both days and they were so friendly and chatty. They were saying how much they enjoyed the weekend and would love to come back (which I most certainly hope they do soon!). Maybe when they come back I'll be able to tell them apart!?!

    Personalisations - Yes, No, Maybe!

    in London Film and Comic Con 2012

    Posted

    I get that the big guests may not have the time to personalise all autographs but meeting Gillian Anderson who was busy and personalising I do wonder if something could be done.

     

    I'd already got Jeri Ryan (Who wasn't) only to meet someone who had! Then getting Karl Urban (which said no so ok) the person in front of me got theirs personalised and I didn't!?!

     

    How about for the big (and busy) guests you keep it at a maximum of 5 items you can get signed and that only 1 of these will be personalised?

     

    Anyway, apart from that, it was great meeting them all!
