I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Rob is as likely as snow in Death Valley to attend! He would be the perfect guest but unfortunately, I agree that it would be too much for some attendees and other guests to deal with. Peter, Cam & Jackson would make up for it tho'!!! :)

I was thinking of you when I said 29th March.....I thought Lulu needs to get paid first lol!!! Awww, thanks for thinking of me! Luckily, I got myself sorted out so I have my ticket now!

I'm a standard this time. I was gold before & I hope the gold passes this time have great fun at ET2.

I love the dress and mask Laura. Where is the mask from? I don't want to copy but they might have others. I got a dress for the prom do - now I'll have to shop again (shame!!) At least I'll be set for the Xmas parties this year!!

I am really surprised that they have so many cancellations! Surely, there weren't many for ET1? I'm staying at the Ibis this time because of this - 7 months of the Park Inn earning interest on my money was not an option!

I just booked the Ibis for 2 nights at £130. It's good coz I didn't have to pay up front (still paying for ET1!!!)

I think it'll be before the end of March & my payday!

Awww...Lou! I hope there is one left just for you!! Ahh thanks! I won't be able to meet up with you guys again if I don't!

Getting to meet my online friend from Finland and getting daftly drunk on Finnish liquor!!

Standard - plenty? Well, I hope so - I don't get paid again until March 23 and I'm not hopeful of getting one at this rate!!

Okay - I hope this feedback is helpful! The wine reception for gold passes was a little disappointing - I was in a group who managed to shake Peter's hand and see Kellan from a distance. Previous comments cover this. Alternative? - A 'lucky dip' guest encounter for the Gold Pass holders? OK, you would only get to see 1 (or2) guests 'up close' but would be more satisfying overall maybe? The dealers room - Could 'amateur dealers' have a stall, even if they could only do 1 day, for example? I was surprised there was so little specific merchandise. I made some stuff for my friends and would have loved an opportunity to have a stall for a day. I'm sure others would too. The seating for talks - others have mentioned about the crowds & the difficulty for gold/silver passes to get in. One of my group suggested that the hall is filled back to front, standard first - A) there are more of them! and It would help the crew manage the seating & 'seat jumpers' (this happened on Sunday). Activities - It would have been nice to have a few more activities happening during the weekend. Maybe an ongoing quiz where the guests answer questions as if they were their characters prior to the event and then attendees answering the quiz questions during the weekend and the winner being the person who matches most correct answers given by the guest (so, a quiz per guest). There could be a tie breaker if necessary. Could attendees (some anyway) have helped with the party set ups? Just for involvement? Give me time and I'll think of other stuff too! The scheduling was a logistical feat - well done to whoever did it but I think it might have worked a little better if it was done on pass type - gold & silver & standard - It would have helped reduce the number of people waiting in that small area, I'm sure. Queuing - aaarrrgggh! So much! I know there must be a better way - I just need to work on it a bit longer!! It also meant there wasn't time to go and do other things for an hour or two (or maybe that was just my experience!) Registration - for a sell out event could the registration be done in the main hall with more queues and more crew? Yep, I'll volunteer if it helps. Guests - Amazing. Really lovely. So glad they came along - Bring the boys back!!!!! (The girls were nice too, but hey, we're talking Kellan & Peter here - and Justin was cute!) Thanks Showmasters - I know you'll do another great job in October.

The guys are going to have a whale of a time!!

Added mine just now.

I haven't got my programme yet but it'll be a standard. I'll get my photos etc when I can afford them!

That's spooky. I deliberately didn't look at any others so I just wrote my own thing! Yours is of a far higher quality - this was my first attempt.

Sitting at the counter on the red leather stool, I listen to the coffee machine gurgling as the waitress pours a mug of house special. It's for the truck driver who has just walked through the door. He looks as if he needs more than a cup of coffee. He sits three stools down from me and starts looking at the menu with a weary face that has aged long before it's time. I have never met this man but I knew he'd be here today, just like I knew the couple sitting in the booth by the window would be here too. The couple are young and obviously in love with each other. He looks into her eyes with total adoration as he gently places a stray lock of hair back behind her ear. She blushes gently and as it spreads across her cheeks the scent of her blood reaches my nostrils. I see their hands link across the formica table and their whispered conversation flows gently into my ears. In the corner stands an old jukebox, its neon lights of green and pink flashing in time with the latest record that's playing. The diner is a typical fifties recreation and I have known its decor and its location for a long time, but I have never been here before today. I am thankful that it's cloudy outside but I shouldn't be surprised as I could not be here if the sun was shining brightly. Bright and clear, just like the vision. The vision that has always been so definite, unlike others I've had. I have always known that I would be here today and that I would meet Him for the first time. My sweet, tortured, soulmate. My deepest love and my Eternal existence. It will be here that we find each other at last. We have each followed different paths to reach this moment and neither has been easy. I have finally found a place, a family. I will go there with Him. They don't know we are coming but it is where we are meant to be. I check my watch, half past three. Not long now, and yet it has been so long. The waitress looks over and sees the cold cup of coffee by my hand. 'Waiting for someone, Honey? Would you like a fresh one?' 'No thanks, He'll be here soon'. Oh yes, the waiting will soon be over. All the years of knowing this will happen but unable to hurry time to this point. Soon, the man I have loved for so long but who knows nothing of me will arrive and I will need to be gentle, oh so gentle. I know it will be fine, I've seen that too, but I also know that it will take time. We have a long journey to make and it will not be easy for either of us, but we will make it - we were always meant to be together. Louise Horner Disclaimer.

I happened to mention it at work the other day and already have 2 people who want to come along too - I'll keep spreading the news!!

I'd really like to go to this but I have another event in February and won't have money for a ticket until March. I'll just have to keep my finger crossed that there's some tickets left!!

Me neither *sighs too*

What a wonderful guest - thank you Showmasters. I hope Peter enjoys his weekend with all us girlies!!!

LOL! We're so fickle!! It's sad that Taylor can't join us but we're already wondering who the next guest announcement will be!!! I'm glad that people are being generally understanding though - it's not his fault he can't come.

HA! HA! I just saw your post. If 20 is old then I guess that makes us ancient!!! I'm glad everyone is mixing together though.

I don't care if some of the guests cancel - I'm really looking forward to meeting up with other 'Twilighters'!! It'll be party central whatever happens.

I have gone onto ME site but the Better than Life Con is not listed in order to buy a ticket. Am I missing something? If I do a search, it says there's no matches!! Help.
