  1. I would love for this to happen as it'd mean some kind or normality back. However, sadly I don't see this going ahead. The government is unlikely to allow for any gatherings larger than a cinema or theatre to open until September. Also wish social distancing, which will likely still be happening them, there's no chance of staying two meters apart from everyone. Photo shoots will be non-exsistant with that rule and you won't really be able to speak to the guests that well :-( Thats not even thinking about the entry queue. I read if Heathrow did social distancing for every aircraft then each queue would be over a mile long! That's just a couple of hundred people. Change that to a queue with a few thousand as LFCC would have, you're looking at an entry queue that would have to be almost 10miles long!

    That all said, I would likely still come along if it does go on as I'm a massive fan of Showmasters and love your events. I'm just not that optimistic.

    A suggestion though, if it didn't go head, perhaps you could do some kind of behind closed doors event? Have some guests come along and do signings for postal orders only. You could maybe have some online Q&A's with each guest through the weekend and people could pay something to tune in.

    It tends to be the regional ones they do it at. From memory it was towards the end of the Sunday. They used the main stage area and had signed photos from people who had been at earlier cons along with other convention stuff that they probably just didn’t have room to store any longer. There were some real bargains to be had. Somebody got a signed Peter Davison Showmasters poster for £10. One bid. I suppose by the end of Sunday most people are skint. 

    I think Collectormania used to do them and maybe the very early LFCC's. I know I won an item or two. I think one was a poster for a French (??) Showmasters con signed by all 8 guests who attended and I got it for £40! Will have to dig it out and take a photo.

  3. This app came in very handy though the weekend, thanks for creating it. Just a few little bugs here and there for me, the main one being when I deleted someone from my schedule as I'd had the photoshoot or something, it would close the app...but that's just a slight niggle.

     

    Also, will the app automatically update as each new LFCC comes around (eg: the winter one)? Or would we need to download a new version? And are the plans for them to be introduced for all cons or this one be expanded on?

  4. I found his talk very enlightening. Especially when he was on about struggling as an actor for a long time and having to sell his house. 

    I think some fans forget that it’s only something like the top 5% of actors that get paid in £millions. Most find it hard to get by if they aren’t working for a few months or a year. I think that’s why we see bigger stars at cons now as it’s harder to make a living. We should all have more respect for them coming and if they cancel, it’s not because they didn’t want to be there.

    Ask the crew member just before you step into the photo to tell the photographer Portrait, or just say "Portrait Please" to the photographer yourself.

    Why have 1/4 of a celeb in a photo when you could have 3/4! :P

    I've started doing Portrait over the last couple of years as well. Very occasionally the camera is on a stand and isn't able to but not that often. I did get told no last year in one photoshoot which I asked in and I've no idea why that would be other than to save a bit of time....though in the time it took to say no they could have turned the camera, lol.

  6. I'm planning to arrive around 8am-8:30am and have a gold pass. I think I saw something about gold and diamond passes being let into the main stage for a bit before hand?

    Does this mean I should be able to get my pass collected right away pretty much when I arrive with shorter queuing?

    Re the Lucifer Angel Wings prop shoot, I've never seen the show (I'm not a female), but I found this picture:

    Does this mean I need to do the shoot topless?

    I think it means Tom has to do the shoot topless, hehe!

  8. Can't believe it's finally this week :dance::YAHOO::clap::thumbup:

    I'm getting my OH to write me out a game of Cosplayer Bingo which I thought up the other day. Basically, she'll write down a list of 16 or 20 characters and if I see anyone dressed as any of them I'm to ask for a photo and tick them off on the sheet. I'm kind of looking forward to it.

    Got exactly two Diamond Passes this year, Gina Torres (Sunday) and Tom Ellis (Sunday) because of the talks, so I really hope that the stages will be close to each other so that I can switch easily :D other than that the schedule looks quite good!

    I'm planning to do the same. Hope the floor plan is out soon. I have a feeling the best we can hope for is that the stages are on the same floor. I doubt they'll be too close or you'd hear one from the other, lol!

    To add to what Ravogd said, if you can't contact the shop before the event, talk to the people at the sales desk on the day and they should be able to sort something out for you.

    It's a tough choice as it's between Gina Torres and Lucifer talk....I think the Lucifer one could be more fun so I think I'd sway towards that. Neither have another talk on another day that I can tell so would like to see as much of both as possible. I'll see how close stages are when maps come out (hopefully end of this week ;))

  11. I've just realised a couple of talks I've bought clash. People with experience at this, what's the best thing to do? Leave one early and get to the other late?

    Stay for one at get to the second one even later? Or Leave early and get to the second one on time? I suppose it's really down to choice but thought I'd see what other people usually do.
