Apart from Kotto that's hardly a Bond guest roll of honour when you take in to consideration Nov 2002 in Birmingham. Dufresne and Dr Jones are blatantly using this forum to advertise another event, something which I thought was banned. One rule for a few, another rule for the rest of us I suppose.

So your problem is more with the way Elijah 'looks' rather than the actual quality of the shot? They can't exactly make him look any different I have no problem with the way Elijah "looks" as you put. But for any half decent professional photographer, and I assume whoever took these photos was professional, basic composition is a pre-requisite. You don't sit someone who's short on a chair, and have the attendee standing behind them in a position that make the guest look like a cross between Jimmy Krankie and Lord Charles. The photo I saw was crap. Period.

Having seen the result of one of the Elijah photo ops, I can honestly say that if that photo had been mine and I'd have paid £25 for it (or however much it was), I'd have been totally fecking ballistic and shouted the place down until I got a refund. It was an awful quality shot. He looked like a ventriloquist's dummy with the attendee's hand shoved up his Khyber Pass. If this is the best Showmasters can do, they got problems.

Want to share with the group? I hate it when people just post and run. If you've got a point to make - politely make it and let people decide for themselves. Don't just make cryptic statements and run away. What's the point of that? Jenny Who only believes conspiracy theories when they'r ein the X-Files As one of my able associates pointed out, the forum also went down for about 3 days before GMex last February. Hey presto, the forum comes back up on the Friday before the event with a nice big "Guest Cancellation: Ian Somerhalder" slapped on it. Again too late for anyone to cancel hotel bookings without losing their money. I think Showmasters need to come up with a new plan cos that one ain't working anymore.

I know that myself and a few others well and truly saw this coming. Something happened this week which we picked up on, something which has happened before. No one else here seems to have sussed. Coincedence or not? You can all decide.

At last the Showmasters autograph charging structure has been thrown to the dogs so you can all have a standard of guest that you were originaly promised when this event went to once yearly, and what happens? "I can't afford it", "it's too much money" etc etc God help you all if and when Hamill's ever announced. If you think £45 is steep. . .sheesh. Anyway, he'll go probably go home after 2 hours like he did at his last public signing.

My thoughts exactly, especially Gates McFadden. Only one signiture from each of them for me, me thinks. When has Gates charged anything other than £20? She's always been that amount at every event I've ever met her at. As I understand it, all the TNG main cast, with the exception of Denise Crosby, charge the same out of fairness to each other. Even Patrick only charges £20.

As a lighthearted comment, you're clearly a bit miffed at the amount you're spending, otherwise you wouldn't have raised the matter. Seriously though, as you rightly pointed out, no one but you made you spend a ridiculous amount of money on a completely unecessary gold pass. Dare say you only have yourself to blame, old chap.

There may be trouble ahead, but while there's magic and moonlight and love and romance, let's face the music and dance.

I know it's not likely. Anyway, just wait until the hoard arrives on about 8pm. Then you'll get the usual crowd posting what a great guest announcement they think this is.

And all of them o' so positive. 951794[/snapback] Such a shame that as you apparantly act as the forum information desk for attendees, you can't answer my post with an appropriately professional response.

As Muldaur has the dreaded "TBA" by her on the main page, is there any chance of SM being honest with us about whether or not she's going to appear? Those of us who want to see her deserve better than to be told come 25th April that she's cancelled.

Having Hamill would only work if a set number of autograph tickets were pre-sold in advance so that you could in theory be guaranteed that you wouldn't be farmed past him like cattle. At say £40 a ticket, you would have to be guaranteed a photo with Hamill if you wanted one, and at least 30 seconds to have a chat. But of course this won't happen as "the push as many people through as possible" mentality will always prevail with Showmasters, and if and when Hamill appears, it will be of course be utter chaos as happened with Elijah Wood and Shatner.
