Can also confirm Mads is lovely, I saw him make extra effort with a ton of us. The pen blotted on someone's photo and Mads instantly jumped up, fetched another one, and re-signed before the guy had even said anything! He chatted to my friend and I and made us laugh, and lots of people had good stories from meeting him. Also, if you get nervous meeting actors he's great because he tends to start the conversation rather than making people talk first. I knew a couple of people who were really nervous about photos but he was sweet with everyone. He also made a big fuss of the (excellent) cosplayers who went as Tristan and Galahad, calling out their "names" the second they walked up. He held hands with "Galahad", and complimented them on their "great job". It was nice to see him appreciate their work so much. 2

Will he be doing a talk? If so, I'd like to know so I can come on that day...

Thank you David. What do I do about the talk ticket? Can I use it on the door or do I have to exchange it for a new one in advance?

I'm sorry, I can't understand that at all?

I completely forgot about this weekend, ack! Please can you tell me: As I haven't bought my tickets in advance, can I just join the early bird queue and pay for early bird tickets when I get to the door? Or is there a different "sinners" queue for people who are early birds but forgot to buy in advance? ;-) I still have my talk tickets from the last show when Michael cancelled, do I have to exchange them for a new ticket ahead of the talk or can I just use them to go into the talk, and does it have to be on the same day as the original ticket? Thanks.

Ack, found the answer to my question but can't find out how to delete this post! Move along, nothing to see here... ;-)

Art shops & The Works now sell thin A4 plastic boxes. These aren't too bulky, they are light, and they let you carry multiple photos without them getting bent corners etc. Also, if the ink is still wet on an autograph, you can put it on the top and it has a little time to dry. Also useful for anything which doesn't fit well in a plastic sleeve such as cardboard stuff.

So basically, we still get Michael in October and we get Claudia as a replacement this weekend? Sounds great to me :-) Thank you!

Still hoping for Michael Shanks and Michael Welch. I have no interest in SGU or SGA guests but I'd accept Stargate movie guests as long as it's James Spader findo

To agree with other posters: Michael Shanks because there's never been a chance to see Richard and Michael at the same event. Also, Michael Welch, because it would be great fun to see Jack and his clone together, and Michael Welch has done lots of interesting shows. Michael and Michael please!

Thanks so much for a fantastic weekend! This was like the old days of cons, much more personal, much more about having fun with each other and getting a chance to chat to the actors. It felt very relaxed. Also, I was impressed that you sorted out the stage lighting on Sunday - it was much better, please keep it like that next time :-) I admit I had my worries beforehand - I'm so glad I came anyway - one of my favourite events ever!

Way cool!

That's very good point - it seems a bit arbitrary to pair up Carmen and Michael and I'd rather each of them had more time to answer questions. Carmen just did "House" so he has something new to talk about. Gary and Chris are both confident & chatty enough to be solo, so why not split them up? I like this idea and it would certainly fill in some gaps.

I can understand that maybe things have to be changed - although I wish someone had checked before announcing it and getting us all excited. However, Gold ticket holders don't seem to be getting a very good deal: a one hour cocktail party? If you're looking at changing things around, I'd like to ask respectfully that you consider doing a little more for Gold ticket holders, otherwise I don't see many of us going for that option in future.

It would be really helpful if you could confirm if there will be talks or not. If it's "not", please just say so, so we know where we stand! Thanks.
