  1. I agree PARTY THEMES. . . . . considering how many people make their own costumes your alienating your customers by not announcing something which seems easy enough as party themes? What a way to start the con off on a negative note!
  2. I will post later as I have a good pro and con list. As the organisers stated its good to get both types of feedback. A major plus is that the cons are moving away from the thistle. God this hotel get worse every time, we had cleaning staff come to our door at half eight at to ask are you sure you dont want your room cleaned. "EH NOOOOOOOOOO go away" then but what about clean towels. I actually asked the reception if it was on the level as it just seemed so dodgy! The BAR!!!! I honestly do not understand the cheek of charging me £3.25 for a glass of cola which has been poured out a bottle of 99p COLA????? That is beyond a joke and I freaked when I watched the waiter pour the dredges out 2 bottles to make up my glass of refreshing and expensive cola. Also the booze was so overpriced that it cant have been only me that was think I cant afford to drink here!!!!! £15 for a bottle of echo falls - Thats some bloody profit margain considering how cheap echo falls wine is???? or £5 in the bar and £6 upstairs for a glass???? I also complained to the lunch waiter asking if there was a chance for vegetarian food and was getting into my rant when the poor guy started apologising and said he would bring down veggie bean burgers. So am really glad I asked. I did notice that they made extra than the two i asked for and people were buying them. MIne was cold but still better than a packet of crisps! He did use the same tongs to pick up my chips as he did the girl before me's beefburger but since most of teh staff struggle with english am guessing basic food hygiene and cross contamination food is something that may be out of their reach. I did like the idea of the lunch buffet though. I know that there are alot of vegetarians and vegans at these things and it would be nice to be thought of in the meal deals and such... . .Can somone with a car do a subway run at nex years ha ha I know its not MS fault the staff and attitude of the Thistle but its so frustrating staying or being in this hotel. PLus on the Saturday we were entitled to an extra hour and got NOTHING. they closed - buggar! On the flip side - they do an awesome breakfast write more later . . . very tired
  3. Indeed. I have never seen a guest hand out stuff like that before. Especially stuff like the NASA pass - he should have kept them himself! His jokey 'put down' of Jewel made me laugh - "Let's give out some of the stuff that you brought Jewel" or words to that effect Jewel: "got any gum Alan"
  4. that was sooo funny, as was Take off your pants
  5. Those travelling! Poor excuses . . . there are several toilets available for a superman type change of costume. so come down in normal clothes, slip the pj's on and then slip them off at the end of the night.
  6. Underthings . .Tumbling . . wanna say .. . love your hair . . - from Freezeray song
  7. Perhaps instead of wrist bands you could adopt the attitude of other cons, were they have volunteer stewards who check the passes regularly to avoid people switching. Its very complicated and ashame that some people are ruining it and if it was up to me I'd ban them. Once people witnessed the extreme punishment they would stop it. Only the unhonest can really appose that idea.
  8. come to the dark side lol we have fluffly jammies am doing the jammies thing and lookiing forward to a group pj pic
  9. Although saying this Joss does use some of the same Actors/Actress, so even if you only like one show there is a chance there will be someone who covers more than one show. I only watch Buffy and Dollhouse and I'm really excited to meet Alan who is more of a main cast from firefly but still appeard in dollhouse so he covers both shows. yeah like Felica Day (Buffy, Dr Horrible & Dollhouse), Alexis Denisoff(Angels, Buffy, Dollhouse), Mark Sheppard (Dollhouse, Firefly), Jonathon Woodward (Buffy, Angel, Firefly), Nathan Fillion(Firefly, Serenity, Buffy, Dr Horrible), Eliza Dushku(Dollhouse, Angel, Buffy), Seth Green (Angel, Buffy) Tom Lenk (Buffy, Angel) Adam Baldwin (Angel, Firefly, Serenity) Summer Glau(Firefly, Serenity, Angel) Fran Kranzs(Dollhouse, Cabin in the Woods) Andy Umberger (buffy, Angel) Carlos Jacott( buffy, Angel) Jeff Ricketts (Buffy, Angel, Firefly) Can anyone add to the list ?
  10. must ignore buffy comment, must ignore buffy comment, must ignore buffy comment Am lucky am all rounded jossverse fan, I LOVE buffy (an unhealthy amount), Angel, Firefly, Serenity, Dollhouse, Dr Horrible and well you get the idea. I even bought the comics but didnt like what happened to the buffy/angel characters so stopped. Am happy with the line but since I only started doing cons recently I have yet to meet any of them. So I can imagine seasoned con attendee's being disappointed with the line up. Am not disppointed with the line up but I am disappointed with the numbers. More so as they wont announce if this is the final line up. I get what the mods mean when they say they wont announce until the deals done but wouldnt hurt for them to say This isnt the final line up guys be a bit more patient or this is the final line up.
  11. the guest announcements really irk me. so that more than the guests will be a factor
  12. thats cos he is amazing! I get so excited when he shows up. His voice is the bomb
  13. Your not the only one that remembers hearing that they would try for 6 guests. Last year we had 5 and even then there was large gaps with nothing to do on the sunday till the talks started. Im not wanting to cause trouble but the lack of guests or fingers crossed the last minute in signing ones still to be anncouned. If this is the final line up, it be better if ME just told us. here here fine if thats the final line but let us know. Then all the any more guest comments can stop and everyone can settle into knowing whats whats and with so little time left it would be good to know one way or the other
  14. Thanks Too Tall, really apppreciate your response and it does make sense but the fan girl in mee is squeeeeeing thate we will get the bands once again for this con. :)
  15. Silver 101 and 102 Thats me and Lost Bhoy
  16. any guest announcement at this point would be welcome . . . i'd rather have someone new but know he was very 'party' orientated
  17. Maybe for the free autograph or picture that silver/gold get?? I know at one event I won encounters and shared them with friends as i felt greedy having them all to myself. BUt staff said it was cool. (not massive event staff btw) so maybe for stuff like that??? I will pick and fidget like mad with it, i dont even wear jewellery for that reason.
  18. so we are getting wristbands for hallowhedon then?>
  19. Seating in the main hall: There is to be no moving seats! Once you have taken your seat in the main hall, that will be your seat for the rest of the afternoon. You can come and go as you please, but do leave something on the chair to show that it is taken. Please help your fellow attendees by helping us police this. If someone gets up and someone new comes and sits next to you, please do explain that the seat is taken, and that moving seats is not allowed.
  20. On the Eternal con people are getting wristbands instead of passes is this going to be the same for the Hallowhedon con? I do get the logic behind the wrist bands, that the money could be spent on something else for us but am hoping its just the eternal con this is happening to?
  21. Still waiting for mine . . . . . . . was late for work this morning waiting for my post man Am silver though . . . just waiting now
