Given how close we are to LFCC, I expect we will still have guest announcements but no A-List level ones. Im quite grateful with the line up. Just makes it more affordable to go.

I stopped buying gold passes the moment they had diamond passes. im a photoshoot person so waiting in line with non-gold pass holders for photoshoots made me realise I can still do a bunch of photoshoots without the gold passes.

Ignore

I can't mention the show (2021) but Christopher was sat down.

1. Only going Sunday but Bernard Cribbins, Phillip Glenister, Mickey Dolenz, Sean Maguire (I'm old and remember him from Grange Hill). 2. I prefer photoshoots. Luckily for me, no clashes. I really appreciate SM releasing the schedule. 3. As myself lol. I'm not brave nor creative enough to cosplay. 4. Some autographs that are cheaper at the show than online. Not easy, But part of the fun (the looking)

My view is, if a person chooses to wear a mask (or not)....I'll respect their decision.

I'm guessing Mandeep is busy because of CSI Las Vegas. Hope SM can invite her when she's free.

I have seen photoshoots from a convention in September 21. No divider at all. There were hugs and arms around shoulders. If people are vaccinated or people have negative test results. Hugs and arms around shoulders is going to happen.

The positives are the guests that will still be coming in November. That's great news and good job SM. The sad thing is the possible "new normal" which may prevent hand shakes with guests. But we still get to meet them.

There are also online market places that offer lodging (not hotels) e.g. air bnb

I will be playing close attention to that event as well. That's a city that is also easy to reach by train (London to Brussels, Brussels to Koln, Koln to Dortmund).

It's on IMDB so no big secret LOL.

This year and last year I had to travel from London to Birmingham. I wasn't really fussed as Birmingham is easy to reach by train (I'm home in time for dinner :)). Isn't there a 2020 show in Germany or is that another organiser (feel free to delete this sentence mods if it is).

I said it last year, but say it again this year. Selling tickets through Eventbrite is awesome. On the train on the way to the NEC, I booked two photoshoots for the same day on my phone. I don't do things last minute but wasn't sure when I was arriving. HINT: If buying photoshoot tickets on your phone, make sure you are at a station as signal is sketchy in between stops. Back on topic...Sunday was a breeze. Photoshoots with George Takei, Anson Mount, Ethan Peck and Alice Eve. All went on time.

All pros for me. It was a busy weekend for me personally so I could only do the Sunday. Took a train from London, arrived 10:35. Through the door 10:45. Realised that I could do the Rapp/Cruz duo photoshoot. Went online, paid for it through Eventbrite and started queuing with ticket at 10:50 (I saw the queue for on the day photoshoots and saw it was long - but I must stress how quick and easier it is to do it online). Had photos with most of the Discovery season two cast (Sonequa/Isaac, Wiseman, Latif) - missed out on Doug Jones so hope he returns in 2019 . Saw dealers, displays and museum in between shoots. Caught the 13:00 train back to London helping me to arrive early enough to complete my other weekend chores and chill. I achieved all that because: 1. The schedules were published early 2. Eventbrite photoshoots tickets still available up to point of scheduled shoot time 3. Lots of space...lots and lots of it 4. Everything ran on time I'll definitely go to the 2019 show - haven't met George Take yet but hope to see the new season two cast members there too.
