Mr. Mundi

Det er vist lidt småt, men jeg er her da stadig. Har lige været til LFACC 2013 og det var ret fedt, omend der er ved at være alt for mange mennesker til den location. Jeg er dog ikke så meget på forummet mere - som det fremgår af min sene respons.

I would like you to give Denmark another chance. I know you have had two here already, but it takes time for people to notice what's going on. I believe, that you wrote somewhere here, that it took 6 or 7 times before Collectormania Milton Keynes payed off. As for traveling; I would travel to another country, but not any country.

From the first batch in the general chat, I would love to meet all of them at the price quoted - maybe least of them Stan Lee, but would still meet him if I was at the event anyway. But from this batch sadly the only one I would be interested in at the price quoted is Ian Holm. The rest is just too expensive or to uninteresting to me.

I am sorry, but that was a bad example. When online shops puts up a photo and a description of a product, they expect to sell a certain number of that product. And you can be sure, that a small amount of the price you pay for that product goes to maintain the website. But they doesn't have to make a lot of each sale for that because each product will sell several times.

That may depend upon the photographer. I am pretty sure Malcolm has said he has all the files on an external harddrive. But the other two may or may not do the same. Perhaps someone else knows better.

I am sorry but I really don't see how getting the jpg on a usb-stick or mailed while at the show can be "easy". It would require crewmembers to do it, so people wouldn't steal other peoples photos or take forever to find their own. And it would pretty much be a waste of time to collect the jpgs untill you had your last photo shoot. Which would mean huge queues through out the last halfs of the day especiallst y on Sunday. I would love to get the jpgs, but I have trouble seeing how it can best be done. Other shows have uploadet all photos. It is the easiest for the organiser but not good for those who doesn't want their photo stolen or online in the first place.

Another one of him. I cut the rest of the photo, I didn't just snap one of him.

It is quite splendid! [beatles pedant] but the "odd man out" should be third on the crossing, not second[/beatles pedant] What do you mean? The odd man is the third one. I see three stormtroopers (though one is a shadow trooper) and one Biker Scout who is third in the line.

My favorite would be Lea Thompson. She was just such a lovely person. Please bring her back. I had several runners up, but none surpassed Lea.

info@showmastersonline.com I vaguely recall that for lost cameras in the US there actually is a website. "haveIfoundyourcamera" or something. I am trying to remember... maybe that would be worth having a look at if they have an UK section. Argh, I knew it looked off. I should just have wrote info@showmasters... or maybe looked it up.

If you post any pictures from the camera on the internet, then remember to make sure the EXIF-data is not attached as well otherwise anybody will be able to see what kind of camera it is. I don't think the EXIF-data stays with the picture when using most photo-uploading services, but just make sure anyway. Edit: And anyway, if I had lost a camera at the convention, then I would ask at info@showmasters.com and in this forum before expecting to find news of it on fb - just saying.

This years event was AMAZNG in so many ways. The lineup alone was enough to want instant transport ability. With photo shoots and talks on top of that it was impossible to do everything - I mean this in the possitive way. I met 48 guests over the weekend and had 11 photo shoots. My only regret is that I didn't make Christopher Lloyd's talk do to clashes with 2 photo shoots. Normally when meeting more than 10 or so guests, I will only get one autograph from each of them, but this time I still got 6 from Lea Thompson. So I am glad the show stopped when it did otherwise I might have had to get more. If you keep this standard you will ruin me for sure. As for the crew, I did have a few minor glitches, but nothing that couldn't be resolved by a nearby crewmember or pitboss. My overall experience with the crew, was that they was very helpfull with all issues, so thumbs up for them. About the bags at photo shoots, then I like the idea about the table for bags being inside the area. This would take a little more space, but the table or bags could be up against the wall opposite the guest and behind the photographer. When you enter you give your bag to the crewmember, they push them forth past the photographer and as you leave you can grap it from the other end of the table. There is one problem with this senario though. It could be quite disturbing for both the photographer and the guest to have crewmembers run back and forth with the bags. In that case a second wall or curtain might help. You put up amazing shows and I am very happy that you give us the oppertunity to meet all these guests.

Gold passes are always £175. Though this time around you could get it 10% off if you bought it last year. But normal price is always £175.

Me too. Autos first as that is what started it for me. But a photo with the guest is a very big part of the experience for me - though I much prefer to have them at the table with my own camera. There is a big number of guests this weekend I would not have met, had they not allowed photos at the table. I often observe the guest first to see if others are allowed photos at the table before joining their queue. Only if a guest is important enough for me to warrent a photo shoot (or if she is lovely enough ), will I go down that route.

Define "like" in this context. I get autos from people whos work I am interested in. Not so much because I like the person. On a rare ocation I will get an autograph if the person is legend - though I couldn't be botered with Karen Gillan or Alex Kingston because I haven't seen anything they have been in. I must admit though liking Lea Thompson is very easy to do - especially after this wehkend. She would be on the top of my list for any future events should I get a chance to meet her again - no mattet who else would be at that event. Anyone who missed her missed a truely amazing person.

No sweat, a recount shows I was off by one. Appearently I only met/got autographs from 48, my bad. Showmasters can we please get them all back, so I can correct that? I got 6 autos from Lea Thompson, which was the most from one person for me this time. On my last visit to Lea she did write "my #1 fan", but I would be very surprised if she didn't write that on a number of photos this weekend, and how can we all not be #1 fans when she is so lovely? She was definitely a highlight of the weekend - though i had a number of highlights.

It is not posters, but it is what I got signed and in the order i got them. The two identical trooper photos are actually two different people, but I tend to ask them to choose a photo where they know it is them in it. And apparently they both believe they are "generic stormtrooper no. 1". And somehow I managed to miss the obvious. I got autographs from 49 people over the weekend. A few I got more than one from. This is the best I can do since I am still in London. (Not that plan to scan them when I get home)

If Brent has a bad immune system and often get ill following a convention, then I think we should just be glad he still wants to do them and meet his fans. I met him Friday, and the one in front of me also extended his hand to say thanks. Brent then did the fist clash as he explained he wasn't to happy about the touching. So when it was my turn and I had gotten my autograph, then I just said thanks and went on and at the photo shoot I didn't even expect him to do any sort of touching, so when I saw him putting his arm on the shoulder of the attendee, then I just copied that with him. And since Brent prefers to try and awoid getting ill after a convention (who wouldn't?), then I am very sure OP has nothing to do with it. I think he was just rying to defuse an awkard situation. I know it is difficult, but you shouldn't let it get to you, try asking again next time - to someone else of couse. Both Lea Thompson and Sandahl Bergman gave me great hugs because they remembered me from earlier. I had photo shoot with Lea Thompson both days and both days she gave me a hug before I did anything. Sandahl Bergman remembered me from the day before. I was number three in her queue and the first two just got the arm on shoulder, but when she saw me she gave me a big hug. She did generally give hugs to fans at her esk, so no biggie there. This time I also asked for a hug for the first time. The person I asked was Vivica A. Fox. I had met her first time Friday and then when I met her again at her photo shoot Saturday, she remembered me by name. I don't think my name is particular memorable so I was a little impressed and as such went to buy a ticket for the Sunday photo shoot and here I vaguely asked her for a hug which she happily accepted. It could be interesting to know if anyone after me also got hugs from her on Sunday. I didn't notice how many other (if any) had hugging photos with her when I looked for my photo. Also didn't notice if there had been any hugging photos with her Saturday. Anyway, to get back on track for OP, then you should just try again next time there is a guest you would like a hug from. Guests are only human and it may be just as awkward for them to be asked as it is for you to ask - even if they do get asked by several people. Don't let it knock you down if they say no. But maybe try not to get in that situation again of not knowing where to place your hands. If they say no, just say ok and copy what they then do next - hand on shoulder/hand on waist/handshake/whatever.

As for the hand shake, then the guy in front of me didn't even notice Christopher Lloyd extending his hand to goodbye, so I made very sure not to walk off before shaking his hand and saying thanks. Photo shoots are fast. That is just the way they are and I actually like that professionalism.

But where are the photos from the event, that you did take then?

>>> My pictures <<<

The convention was great fun. And I was very happy to see a poster for next years event already. That means we will get at least two tryouts before they decide if it is worth the trouble - and I hope for many more to come. My pictures from the event can be seen in the picture thread. Hope to see more of you good people there next year.

As it seems customary to have one, I will hereby start the photo thread from CM København. My pictures can be seen here: Mr. Mundi's pictures Have fun, and don't forget to show your own, if you have any. As always, if you see yourself or anyone you know on any of the pictures, feel free to drop a comment at the picture, saying who you or the person are/is. Thanks.

Any news on the english website? I would think people coming from other countrys may like to see what they are getting into to in terms of the things special for this danish event. After all it is only two weeks away. Great work on the danish version of the site though.

Awsome This is so far the one I am looking most forward to meeting.
