nkb Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 (edited) As a long term lurker but rare poster, I just wanted to add my voice to this thread. I have been to lots of different conventions by lots of the usual suspects and signed up for a ticket to Eclipse on the basis of the guest lineup rather than because I was expecting anything other than the usual late-running, long-queueing bedlam of your average weekend event. But it was so much better. I had all my autographs done by 2pm on Sunday AND all my photos back, meaning I had a lovely chilled afternoon mooching around the dealers' room, socialising and just enjoying the moment. Two things that really stood out for me: * Going to an event where when (as is inevitably in a big event) things go awry the organisers concede something is going wrong and fix it immediately so people go home happy with everything they want is a breath of fresh air. And after the snafu of the first morning communication was great - changing the schedule and keeping everyone up to date was brilliant. * The attention to detail was phenomenal - 10 by 8s in the welcome pack, badges, the Petrelli party, the Timeline Room (which rightly deserves its own thread), gifts in the room, it was all these little details that made it feel like we're more than cash cows (although admittedly if the amount I spent this weekend is anything to go by we're that too!). You do realise by the way you've set the bar bloody high for your next event don't you??! I wouldn't hesitate on going to another Showmasters event and in fact I'd say I'm going to be going to the other cons I'm booked with alternate organisers wondering where their little details and fab funky stuff is (this was your cunning plan wasn't it??!). Thank you to everyone involved, not just Jason and Mark but all the staff and crew who gave up their time for free. It was seriously the best con I've been to in years, not just for the guests (although all of them were lovely and Cristine is a legend) but also for the party atmosphere and organisation.

Psychosis Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Yes, I was VERY impressed. As I mentioned to several of the guests, I've been going to conventions for six years and for me, Eclipse was the best. *claps* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicAvatar Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I think the organizers and crew worked their butts off to make sure the fans had a good time; the initial teething problems were resolved quickly, the events, themed sets and dealer rooms were there to keep us entertained and the free gifts were great. The guests were BRILLIANT. And I met some really cool people! Awesome weekend and I'm signed up for the next one already - CAN'T WAIT. Thank you so much!

such_jaunt Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I second ninth everyone's comments here, It was fab and I had a great time - obviously a few niggles but I still think you did a fantastic job, and everyone from organizers, guests, crew, (to my fellow attendees) deserve a big two thumbs up, THANK YOU for making it so enjoyable :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_mk Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Really enjoyed this event, probably more than any other convention or event I've ever done (and I've done a few). To me, Showmasters just went that extra distance to ensure that every attendee was as happy as possible, they took some chances, did things differently and were big enough to not only admit when something wasn't quite right, but to fix it at the time. That helped make the event stand out (in a very positive way). For me, if also rejuvenated my interest in conventions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonniesrg Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 (edited) It was fantastic, thanks for making my 1st signing event/con a real treat to go to[Yes I am a con virgin]. Got all my shoots and autos and all the guests were excellent. I don't even feel bad about spending ALL my money there, except for the fact that I couldn't buy my ticket for Eclipse 2 on the Sunday. But payday is in 10 day's and I plan on buying. Though on a side note if someone could apologise again to Miss Jessalyn Gilsig, cause I almost pushed the bathroom door into her in my rush to get in there.

Shirefruit Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I have just about returned to boring old normality, and I would like to add my thanks to Massive Events. I'm a signing veteran, but this was my first convention and I loved it! Wonderful atmosphere, really relaxed (after Saturday morning's panic, ha), I had all the time I needed to do everything, and getting the group shot was a fantastic way to end it! The talks were the absolute highlight, and the way they were hosted was perfect. HUGE thanks to Jason, Mark, Andrea, Jola, Too Tall and EVERYBODY for leaving me with a nice warm fuzzy feeling. Also thanks to the guests for being such legends and good sports! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivaan Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Best.Weekend.Ever. Seriously. Thank you so much Massive Events, and everyone who made this convention one to truly remember!

Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted March 18, 2008 Showmasters Admin Share Posted March 18, 2008 Actually, all the thanks need to go to the attendees (and the crew, of course!). How boring and miserable would it have been if everyone got their autographs and then just sat in the corner, or hung around in small groups. Instead you all joined in, made new friends, and joined in the fun. And boy, can you party! We had a blast too, thanks to your enthusiasm. I can't wait for the next one.

Jason_Voorhees Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I really enjoyed my weekend and didn't have any problems with the system or anything. I did miss my photo shoot with Santiago but that was rectified which I really appreciate. Thanks to organisers , crew , friends and all the other attendees for making it such a good time. *I'm not usually this soft* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
