luleia Posted March 20, 2005 Author Share Posted March 20, 2005 Hey thanks heaps. I've read about the virtual queing thing which sounds great but I'm still worried I'm going to line up in the wrong line or something. I'm a huge Star Wars fan (mainly the classic trilogy, but I like the prequels as well) as well as Stargate so this event is so exciting to me, I really want to meet michael shanks and christopher judge. Do they let you take photos of them if not with them? I'm only 20 so travelling to england from my small country is like OMG!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted March 20, 2005 Moderators Share Posted March 20, 2005 Photos OF them is usually fine, and photos with them is usually ok but just be polite and ask them nicely in case! Sometimes there'll be a no-flash rule, and sometimes there'll be a no photos WITH guests rule, but if there is any of this in place then it'll be clearly stated at the end of the queue before you get to the guest so you will know. We're not sure about where the guests will be yet, there MAY be a plan posted before the event so we know vaguely where they all are, but if not then you'll just have to walk around and find the right ones. They all have really big pictures of themselves above their areas so you should have no problem finding who you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Parkers-Girl Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 They are kinda scary at first. 14, first time away without parents lots of ppl. but ask around and someone is always willing to help or point you in the right direction for sum1 to help. id offer to helpout on the satdy/sunday but im doing LoTR guests not SW and SG. good luck anyway sure you'll love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witchybelle4u2 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Hi luleia. Welcome to the fun, fun world of Collectormania. I've only been doing the convention thing for the last two years but my husband's been at it for much longer. It's great fun. I was absolutely terrified at my first convention, as well. (Collectormania4 was my first.) Collectormania is sort of a scary one to pick for the first time because it's so HUGE. I'm not trying to scare you, I promise. Lol. I was newly arrived from America at the time so it was a bit much. Anywho, have a look here: http://www.anzwers.org/free/witchybelle/Co...Convention.html . It's my diary from all our conventions. And if you'd like, we'd be happy to have a cup of tea with you on the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to a few of the ones you've attended myself and it was really interesting reading your opinions on some of the stars you met and comparing them to my own experiences of meeting them.
