I would just like to say that's exactly how I feel about the whole thing.
Although I'm really sad another show UK is not going to happen, I trust in Showmasters to get really cool LotR actors for us to other events. I really loved meeting Dom at the London Film & Comic Con for example.
I'd buy a ticket to see Bruce Hopkins, Brad Douif, Karl Urban and all those other guys any time... as for the A-listers, I'd be there in a heart-beat.
