Fan smeggin-tastic!!!

Tom Chadbon:- Good luck. Peter Miles added (2014) under his name. Didn't add 'Nyder' and sure asked him to but pleasant bloke so I forgive him :) Guy Siner: 'Allo' Daniel Kash:- Pvt Spunkmeyer, "There's some stuff here" Juliet Landau:- All my best and a smiley face Summer Glau:- To Tom (does look like Ton though, am not THAT heavy! ), Keep Flying, River Tam, no power in the verse cans top me... Casper Van Dien:- Tom 'kill em all' Rico, "MI does the dying, fleet just does the flying" Dina Meyer:- Tom - "The only good bug is a dead bug!!" & "My mother told me violence never solves anything" Michael Madsen, felt he hadn't left enough space add 'you going bark all day little doggie' so put "Bang! Bang!" (think it's bam bam but still happy! )

It depends on the guest. Some like to provide their own images. Others are happy for SM to provide images. Ta. Sure recall being told at a guest being surprised at lack of certain pic(s) then managed get hold of some themselves from somewhere.

I know the Northen Irish have same problem with theirs. Had a co-worker ask for change said "Sure what for? This." It was £100 note.

That was brilliant!!!! Absolute hoot and totally hamming it up!

Sorry i have to say we got more then this right , many things worked over the weekend , we did have some things that did not with fully and most of that was down to how many people came to this year LFCC compared to any other year, we have 350 crew working these events and they are there working very hard so you all have a good day saying we only got one thing right is very harsh on these good people that are just like you fans , but they offered to help make the event work , lots be real and respect them even if you have issues with us. Number of people exceeded expectations......you weren't in Scouts in then, always be prepared? Or always expect the unexpected! The vast majority of the crew I encountered were fine, the 'regulars' being on the ball as usual. Just a pity about the few lazy, born idle, disinterested ones letting yourselves down as ultimately they are the ones people will (and have) picked up upon and beat you over head with. on this point its totally down to Juliet she has her picks sent to us to producer for her she will not let us use anything that she has not sent us , it drives us crazy , but its what she wants and we cannot talk her out of it sorry :-( Is that the same with all guests? Reason I ask is it goes against what I've been told by several different people at various shows of yours. Pic really wanted was too out of focus for her so just went for same one being used on her sign, though was VERY tempted get the one with her in 4th DW outfit and if had time would've gone back for it on Sunday. When I saw Dina Meyer she asked me which one was I choosing, said it was between two and she said 'Help you out. That's in focus, that isn't".

I've been behind dealers whilst they're getting multiple items singed, usual sports guests so football tops ect and once spotted am waiting, or the crew or even guest them,selves mention it the dealer has either moved away to allow me in or got x number more done finish then leave Though being sports guests this can happen unlike Carrie Fisher, Stan Lee ect

Got everyone's auto whom I really wanted but if had choose.......Kate Dickie/Jeremy Bulloch.

The staff were overwhelmed. Queues for likes of Summer Glau stretched like mad past photo shoot areas. Lean Heady's on Sunday wasn't great deal off from Sibel Kekilli. The regulars such as tall lad with glasses doing Stan Lee's shoot at end Sunday calling out the numbers, the brunette lass with him (looked knackered), pit boss who tried orgainse Summer's queue and others certainly did their level best. However some, like the lad near the sales desk on Sunday morning who went round in a mini circle on the spot playing on his mobile and not paying full attention are the ones could do without.

SM are a business?!?!?!?! Really??????? Hey they kept that quiet didn't they!!! Would never have guessed that in a billion years!!!!!!!! This year problems with queues outside. 2013 problems with queues outside. 2012 problems with queues outside. Also at Newcastle there was problems with........yep queues outside and lot's angry people. Least there's consistency.

Pics coming off straight away are a BIG help!!

Didn't met him as queue so long plus met him at.....EMS or was it still Collectormania London...he was contrast to what people have said here, happy speak, posed photos(admittedly does look tired in mine), even had chair so could sit down next to him ,his talk he was lively and really interesting. When I walked past him both days (Sunday especially) did seem him do his fair share of talking, few laughs and plenty posed pics. Though when leaving on Saturday almost walked into him and I did wonder he'd been drinking as seemed out of it, staggering and did trip over his feet, though if he was ill it explains it.

After cancellations, had I gone for everyone's auto whom wanted plus Stan Lee photoshhot (bought months back) & joint Van Dien & Myer would've been about £580-605. Ended up coming way under budget just over half that and less than last years LFCC. Had it not be for Stan Lee would have been even LESS!!!! Full weekend, transport, digs where stayed, food, drink ect add about another £150

Met him late on Sunday before dashing off Stan Lee shoot, though was starting wonder if he'd left early. Went photo table and saw the pic I had wanted was gone, long shot of him from Reservoir Dogs leaning against the post, quick nip off stall buy it then up meet him. Did look knackered/grumpy but found him be pleasant enough. Asked if up to much, commented on his cool tattoos though he feels they're an error from his younger days. Did ask could he put a quote but way he signed it felt there wasn't enough space so after brief think of shortest one he decided 'bang' bang', actually think it's 'bam' 'bam' but hey ho keeps my record of not getting quotes exactly right! Be more than happy see him again should he ever return!

Fair play to that person!

Queues shouldn't be that long but the gold pass doesn't give you the right to jump the queue and go to or near the front which from what I've read some people seemed to think. It just means you can join any queue without needing a VT and you still join that queue at the back. SImple as that. Different for photoshoots but I assume we're talking autograph queues here. But with proper queue management there shouldn't be queues of the size you mention. 20 or so people is normal except in the boxed off areas where you can fit in more but the queue shouldn't really extend far out of the entrance, if at all. At least that's how it's been in the past. It did seem like a few people managing queues this time were overwhelmed by the crowds and seriously needed help which is maybe where things started getting out of hand in some cases. On the mention of queues, Summer Glau's on Saturday was bleedin stupid!! Stretched from her through photoshoot E (think it was) till a pit boss started moving the queue outwards then and continued past that. How had it got to that stage begin with though?!?!?! Several other queues were allowed back up way more than 20-30 which has usually seemed be case

Congrats to them all

Bloke with the "Simon Cowell syndrome" as mate put it.

Know one the lads on Sunday afternoon said been told/overheard 120,000+

Didn't notice owt on Saturday but tended avoid that area as where most people were. Bought mine Sunday morning, in afternoon saw the sheets looked at them went back couple times to check then on a third visit seemed to have disappeared. Not really a raffle, not worth 5quid and get far better programmes & fanzines from non-league football teams!

Didn't meet her this time as she was so busy and also have met her before but always seems be enjoying herself and certainly seems love messing around in photoshoots. may have get one next time. Less said about that pompous, arrogant, rude......... who was with her on Sunday (her agent someone said?).

That last pic really shows how busy it got.

Sore throat and bit blocked nose. Got one last year and one lad reckons its down to different germ pool down there OR am allergic to London Though this year ain't helped by fact where work I'm feet away from a vent. Couple days and be totally fine.

Here's mine and think it's the quickest I've got them edited & uploaded for any show been to! Feel free to tag yourselves. https://www.facebook.com/tom.milburn.129/media_set?set=a.10154351709990447.1073741838.789870446&type=1
