  1. In February in the Who Do You Want To Hang Out With? thread, Jason, you took Noddy to task for suggesting that some of the guests on the First Choice list were unrealistic. You said, "I book the guests and I talk to the agents and I can tell you now none off the guests are unrealistic" If you were talking to all the actors or their agents in February, how is it you did not know then that Viggo isn't doing events or that Orlando's management charges too high a fee? Wouldn't the honourable thing to have done be to remove their names from the list and stop letting us think for seven months that their attendance was still a possibliity? I had no hopes of seeing Sean Bean because he didn't attend the Autographica event when all of the Chosen Men were together for the first time in 13 years. As one of the Chosen Men said, "It would have been nice if Sean had been there but we all know he doesn't do these events."
  2. Incidentally, when I met David at Collectormania at the end of September, he didn't know there was to be a another show in the UK, and at that point it was still going to be in Spring this year. When I told him about it, he said he might see me there. I'd be quite interested to know when SM did contact his agent.
  3. I've been to a few LotR conventions and I've not yet seen JRD or Andy Serkis. I met David Wenham in Milton Keynes last year and found him to be, as I gathered autographs for several friends, unfailingly courteous and charming and good fun, but I'd love to have the time to ask him questions and have the opportunity to have a photograph taken with him. I'm a bit puzzzled by the "I've already met him so wouldn't bother buying a ticket to see him again" school of thought. To me, it's a bit like saying, "No, I'm not going to see Manchester United play again: I've already been to one of their matches." I've heard John Noble speak four times and there are still questions that I want to ask him that I've heard no one else ask him. Yes, you might have heard many of the LotR stories but the actors and people from WETA are not one-trick ponies: they have done things before and after LotR. I am going to another show in Germany BECAUSE I've met many of the actors before and I know them to be good value. RingConUK is very expensive and it has a long, long way to go before it becomes good value for money. I sincerely hope it succeeds, but I'm not very hopeful.
  4. Yes, I'll definitely book if David is going to be there, no doubt about it.
