  1. Does anyone have any idea how long it will take?

     

    I have not contacted anyone as it was said on here there should be no need to do so.

     

    I am waiting for the Alex Kingston one.

     

    When should I be worried I haven't gotten one?

     

    Thank you.

  2. My tactic is chocolate its a great ice breaker, I generally yelp delightedly if I see something amazing like in the queue for Karen someone had a river song diary that was a brilliant copy and now I know where to buy one :YAHOO: I find hotel cons much easier to make friends at because your locked in a building together for a whole weekend!!!

     

    I'll take lots of chocolate then :D

  3. So many people talk on here, Facebook and Twitter etc and then meet up. It's a lot less awkward than randomly trying to make conversation.

     

    Yeah, that doesn't seem to work for me sadly :D

     

    But I guess I could try to talk to people in lies, when I went to the Alex one a lot of people were together or looked at me a little oddly.

  4. So I seem to have zero luck with this, I am not great in general in real life at making friends so I am not overly shocked. But given people at these events have slightly more in common with me then other people I would like to :)

     

    I am hoping to meet someone on here :) he knows who he is :)

    But every con I have gone too I have never met anyone and no one talks to me. I do not dress up etc so I guess I have no reason for anyone to come up to me.

     

    Have you met people at these events?

    How did you go about it?

  5. Do we need to queue outside the gates or outside the building? Just to clarify. I know there will be 3 queues on both days, just wondered.

     

    You will be able to queue at the main doors but from past experience the gates don't open until 7 am so queues can start to form outside the gates.

     

    Once it is open does it going orderly? like the first person at the front of that line at the gate goes first? or is there going to be a lot of pushing and running?

  6. The photo collection at the London Con was a cmplete farce from start to finish. The staff were excellent.....up to a point. The very second photos hit the table there was a rush of people and once they got to the front of the crowd and to the front of the table they wouldnt move. Perhaps it would have been better if members of staff told the public that if your photo is not there then move from the table and come back later. There was a group of us who stood down one end of the table politely waiting for our photos...and we were told to move!!! i was fuming lol.

     

    Also the finger marks are a problem, one of my photos were completely covered in them.

     

    To be fair where I was the staff did tell people to move, they didn't listen. But I can understand people want their photos. They ran out of space and I think people were getting annoyed with was understandable really. Some staff just made you feel a little like low life or something, like you had no real worth etc.

  7. So Alex's photo shoot is at 2pm, I have to get a train at 4.30pm.

    I remember from LFCC that they said it could take up to two hours to get the photos back.

    So if I have to leave can I have it sent to me?

     

    Do I need to pay for that?

    Has anyone ever done this?

    What was your experience? how long does it take to get them etc?

     

    Thank you

  8. Will I be able to find out if the guests are signing more then their names before I pay?

     

    Such as ARTHUR DARVILL, I only really want it if he is doing more then name.

     

    Also are the likes of him, Eve and Alex going to be in those blocked out bits to sign not out in the opening like the others?

  9. Alex Kingston #6

    I am going down in numbers I was 11 last time :)

     

    Oooooooh, I'm number 5 :P

     

    Thankfully, I received my photoshoot ticket for Alex today and well happy with my number :blink:

     

    Well go you!

     

    Thankyou, didn't do too badly yourself :lol:

     

    In theory, we should be quite close together in the queue

     

    I don't think it works like that though, last time I was like 11 and there was someone next to me who was like 60, so yeah lol would be nice though

     

    Yeah, I agree, that's why I said in theory, in practice, it's a very different process :wub:

     

    We should meet up anyway and line up together :D

  11. Number 6 :smile: Yay!

    I am hoping I can get an auto again and it is not crazy but I think a lot of her fans are knowing she is there now so there will be a mass about of Kingston fans!

     

    Hopefully I can talk more then I did last time. I suck at talking she was looking at me like hmm are you gonna say anything, lol

    I must speak!

     

    You know Orange I do love your enthusiasm you seem really nice and I think Alex will like that too.

     

    That is the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me on here :)

    Thank you.

  12. I ordered some tickets on Thursday it says paid in my status online but the money still hasn't come out of my bank, it says on the site you are not told if the order hasn't gone through

     

    Is this normal?

  13. If it makes you feel any better my problem is I talk way too much :-D

     

    THIS ^ :D:D

     

    To be fair I don't usually make many friends by being quiet I try to keep a certain level of energy and humor which also allows to make the best friends a guy could ask for. Never hurts to have passion heart and good level and enthusiasm.

     

    You don't get anywhere being quiet.

     

    To be fair Alex is pretty amazing and if thats not worth some excitement nothing is.

     

    Some people can't help being shy and I would hope Alex would still want to give me time even though I was.
