I can't actually make it to this con, but I have met Stephanie a few times in the past and you won't be dissapointed with her, she is a fabulous guest, really bubbly and fun

How come there is no photo shoot for Mac and Steve? Are they not doing pictures?

They were told off (politley i should add, at least the ones I saw were), but they still decided that those rules only applied to other people and carried on their own sweet way. Some of them were later to be seen complaining that they hadn't got stuff they wanted which was probably to do with having been sat in a queue they didn't need to be in and were told to leave for over an hour! I am really sorry to hear that some people had a tough time, I just wanted to say that contrary to popular belief, there were quite a number of us who had a great weekend, caught up with friends and got everything done that we wanted to do at the con (despite being a little trying on the patience at times!).

I was just going to read this thread and go away but have found myself having to respond. I agree that while last weeks event was ridiculously over populated and had some serious organisational issues (I was queueing for 10 hours on the Friday!) and i was also very dissapointed that the leads had introduced the no touching rule (my photo also felt very uncomfortable) there were a few points that I would like to mention: - I managed to get 11 photos done and all of them came out fine (the ones with the other guests were lovely and huggy) and I found the photo studio people to be very polite. - I got autographs from all of the guests - I made it into at least half of a Q&A with every single guest that was there - I made it into a coffee lounge which was very good. i agree with the previous poster who said that a lot of problems weren't caused by poor organisation, the amount of silly screaming girls around was crazy and they did all seem to think that the rules applied to everyone but them, people were being very rude to staff and refused to get out of queues when their numbers hadn't been called and then moaned because they were missing the talks! If you want respect, you have to give it - 2 way street! The staff were all very helpful and polite to me every time I asked a question. So, i know a lot of people had a rough weekend and was sorry to hear that people got photos they weren't happy with but I honestly have to say that I had a fab time in the end!
