DavidSimons Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 (edited) I've been going to events since 1979 (Seacon 79 down in Brighton) and running them since 1993 (Warp One up in Morecambe). So I don't get nervous anymore. But each event is different and exciting. They also each offer unique challenges. So I'm not blase about them.

Nili Posted October 1, 2003 Author Share Posted October 1, 2003 since 1979 ?!? how old are you ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosiePosieDanderfluff Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Like David S, I'm a bit of old pro! No, not that sort of "old pro" - thank you very much! I think what David was saying about each event being different and exciting! No two conventions are the same, in my experience, it's great meeting up with people either for the first time or as in many cases, since the last convention! I think that part of the convention experience is meeting up with friends and hanging out with them as well as meetings guests and buying stuff from the dealer!

I was ten when SEACON was announced and remember hassling my older brothers to take me, but they didn't want their kid sister hanging around!

Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted October 1, 2003 Showmasters Admin Share Posted October 1, 2003 Hi everyone, How nervous am I?! Nervous isn't really the right word, but certainly we all feel the pressure of the huge responsibility of running a show like Collectormania. Ultimately, all we want to do is run a great show where everyone, guests, public and dealers have a great time. Whilst it is a fact of life that we all have to make money, I can honestly say that that is not what Collectormania is about. It feels like our baby almost, and we want to protect it, and make sure that you all love it! All the hard work, stress and last minute panicking is all made worthwhile when we see people meeting their idols with a great big smile on their faces. When we sit and talk into the early hours of the morning with some of the guests, and end up with new friends it is a great feeling. Ultimately though, if we can make peoples dreams come true then we have achieved what we set out to do. I hope every one of you has a wonderful time at Collectormania this weekend. We so appreciate your support, and hope that we live up to your expectations. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
