I forgot to ask him about his guest role in Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia dammit >_<

The only other guest I would have wanted to meet was Robert Knepper, simply because I thought he was great in Prison Break. I didn't really want anything signed though so missed him out. I would have gone to the talks but they were all pretty late on in the day.

I've gone off getting photos a bit, didn't get any at this show...at the desk or photo-sessions. I'd rather just have the auto of a guest I could put on a poster and eventually display somewhere, although I'm sure there are some guests I would just get a photo with since I don't have anything to get signed.

Duncan Jones - Director of Moon and Source Code. Keith David - Pitch Black, The Thing, Platoon and a whole load of voice work! Roger Deakins - Academy award winning cinematographer. Best known for his work on the Coen brothers films.

Need to pay for autos and photo-shoots, but no need to VT and you get let in first at photo-shoots. I think you get free access to the paid talks, unless that has changed.

Good to know that the bigger guests were a success (in terms of the increased pricing anyway) so it is something we are likely to see again. Now about Ian Holm... *wink, nudge etc...*

Anyone get any nice/interesting dedications or quotes along with their autographs? Here are mine: Trevor Steedman signed my Aliens poster and added his character name. Veronica Cartwright signed my Alien poster and added her character name. Wrote 'best always' on a separate Alien 8x10 with character name too. Michael Bailey Smith wrote "Its Breakfast Time!" on my The Hills Have Eyes poster and added his character name 'Pluto'. Tom Sizemore put a quote on my Grand Theft Auto: Vice City poster..."Wherever I go, people die...all of them...I hope!" The best thing was I didn't ask for any quotes on my posters so really made it a lot more satisfying that the guests asked if they could add stuff to it! What did everyone else get?

Just looking forward to the next one, and hoping the line-ups keep on improving... And yes my feet were killing me by the end of the weekend!

I thought he was one of the nicest guests I've met, really cool and talkative, my experience from another thread... "...I wasn't sure what to expect from Tom Sizemore but he was awesome. I had a Grand Theft Auto: Vice City poster for him to sign in which he voiced the main bad guy. He asked what I wanted on it and since I couldn't remember any of the quotes I asked him if he could remember any. So he put 'Wherever I go ,people die. All of them...I hope!" which I thought was awesome from someone who does a lot of film work and has only voiced 2 videogames! Cool guy."

Sounds hard to believe. I thought he was great.

I'm convinced the main reason the line to buy tickets on Friday was moving so slowly was because a lot of people were paying by card which slowed everything down, I was even told to skip a few people as these people wanted to pay by card and I was paying cash. Would have been good to have noticeboards along both lines, on all days, marking which line was pre-paid and which one wasn't.

Haha I thought I saw Jimmy Page on the platform at MK, pretty sure it wasn't him though. I've read about people seeing him at events before...

Bought two t-shirts and got these signed... Alien poster and 8x10 (Veronica Cartwright) Aliens poster (Trevor Steedman) Back to the Future poster (Lea Thompson) Grand Theft Auto: Vice City poster (Tom Sizemore) The Hills Have Eyes poster (Michael Bailey Smith)

Thanks to the crew member who managed to find the black and white portrait print of Veronica Cartwright from Alien after I went up to the table and there weren't any there. Would have been disappointed if I hadn't got that one signed so cheers!

Incognito Comics usually sell the plastic 8X10 sleeves at the events for £1. I meant to buy one yesterday but couldn't find the stall on my way out... Not sure where you would get them outside of an event though.

Met Trevor Steedman, Veronica Cartwright, Michael Bailey Smith, Lea Thompson and Tom Sizemore. Trevor asked me who else had signed my Aliens poster, he seemed to know a few of the stunt people (who attended a few years ago). Met Veronica on Friday for my Alien poster and decided I would get a personalised 8x10 on Saturday as well! Michael Bailey Smith asked if he could put a quote on my Hills Have Eyes poster (Its Breakfast Time - Pluto) and showed me a print he had from one of the deleted scenes. I told him it was the first 18 rated film I saw at the cinema! I wasn't sure what to expect from Tom Sizemore but he was awesome. I had a Grand Theft Auto: Vice City poster for him to sign in which he voiced the main bad guy. He asked what I wanted on it and since I couldn't remember any of the quotes I asked him if he could remember any. So he put 'Wherever I go ,people die. All of them...I hope!" which I thought was awesome from someone who does a lot of film work and has only voiced 2 videogames! Cool guy.

The most worrying thing is that he concealed it (according to the eyewitness). Not sure if there is a rule against attendees taking replica weaponry into the show let alone the photo sessions. I wasn't there but I imagine my heart would have sunk a few inches if I saw it happen!

I'd do it again if the guests are announced a bit more in advance. Don't think I would have had time to do everything today (Sat) if I hadn't done the stalls Friday!

Yeah London was pretty busy today. Was I right in noticing that the next LFACC is moving venue because of the Olympics? Imagine how busy it will be getting in and around the venue!

Pretty good day today. I only planned to come up the Saturday but I went to the preview yesterday too! Got my VT tickets as soon as I arrived about 11.20AM, they were already fairly high so I spent my wait at the National Portrait Gallery as I already looked around on the Friday, then returned later in the afternoon. The guests I met were all great. Michael Bailey Smith, Lea Thompson and Tom Sizemore. Michael asked me if he could put a Hills Have Eyes quote on my poster, of course he could! Then showed me a picture he had avaliable to sign that was taken from one of the deleted scenes from the film, and told me a little story about that. I mentioned that it was the first 18 rated film I saw at the cinema, and that I might have been a month or two younger than 18 at the time. I didn't know what to expect from Tom Sizemore, but I met him after he came back from lunch about 4PM and he seemed really engaging. I had a Grand Theft Auto: Vice City poster to get signed and he asked if I wanted anything in particular on it. I asked him if he could remember any quotes so he managed to write one on, really cool considering I didn't think he would remember much from it. Really cool guy.

I noticed one stall had posters for all three films. Didn't really pay any attention to any other stuff to be honest.

This. Will be interesting to watch/see how ridiculous the line gets throughout the day. I'm getting there for 11AM, going to get autos for Tom Sizemore, Michael Bailey Smith and Lea Thompson and then hopefully be done quick if the guests aren't on a break/photoshoot. Already got my other 2 autos and looked at the stalls today.

Tom Sizemore, Brent Spiner, Robert Knepper and maybe Veronica Cartwright.

I think my train gets in about 17.40ish so will go straight there and line-up if it hasn't already opened.

Hmm, I might as well risk coming down on the train Friday as well as Saturday then. If the auto is free at least it negates my train fare!
