Jen Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 I was just wondering, since it is now a year since my first convention, how long everyone has been going to these shows and collecting autographs? In one year I've bought so many autographs, I want to know how long i've been missing out on all the fun Love Jen xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lady Elanor Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 I started at LFACC, I'd been to a few Trek things before with a ex, but LFACC was my first real con and I was hooked within seconds, I've been to a few now and I'm running out of wall space.

Gandalfia Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 The only autographs I had before I went to a convention was Tim Burton and Mark Wahlberg (didn't want his and I've lost it now anway!) Oh and Richard Kelly. I said I'd only ever get director's autographs. Then I went to C4. And so the obsession began....... EXPENSIVE obsession!

No I didn't meet him, I saw him but decided to leave him in peace, after all he just wanted to look round stalls too. He was at the NEC show too in August Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for collecting autographs, I started seriously ttm about a year ago, but used to collect footballers and cricketers at games back in the 80s.
