wilko2205 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 hi guys i went to eclipse this weekend, and on the saturday night, some of the guests came down to the party. i missed the start, and when i showed up, noah (micah) and jessalyn (meredith) were the only ones left After a while, Noah's mum actually had to escort him out of the room because the fans wouldnt leave him alone Anyway, I was talking to a friend of mine who went to some buffy/angel thing, and apparently the event organizers said that if the guests came to the parties, the fans were banned from asking them for free pics and autographs. because of this, the guests stayed at the party all night Everyone probably wants a free pic, but IMO i think we should have a similar rule. If we ban the mobbing of guests at the parties, they may stay for longer. It'll be worth it when we see Henry doing the YMCA anyone else agree?

Lambourne Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I 100% agree. The way the guests were treated at the Eclipse party sounds horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikstar1989 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 i 110% agree too, the guests are here to enjoy the weekend also, i think its cool to go up to them and say i think your a great actor or something or offer to buy a drink but i think people should just enjoy the parties and not mob the poor actors!

Psychosis Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 To be honest I'm pretty sure that we were told repeatedly AND it was on the website or in the con handbook or something telling you to leave them the hell alone. I don't know what else the organisers can to except take a big stick and hit people with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just mean the attendees should have some respect and give them some space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychosis Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Oh yeah. I hope they do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodrigo1991 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 i recon SM should just tell the guest to walk of if they are getting annoyed bt the people they are with, and if a group keeps following them, they should tell SM and get a warning or something.

Lizzy Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I don't like stuff like that either, but theres no use calling everyone morons... Cristine was asking if anyone wanted pics with her, so a few people, inc me did, but she stayed for 5 mins and left for a diff reason. She said it, I had my cam in my hand and took her up on it. Naff pic mind, as it was so dark! I saw the other guests around, Jessalyn, David and Noah, but I stayed out of their way as they looked like they just wanted to party and couldn't... as I've done previously with people.

nikstar1989 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 yea if the guests say guys anyone want a pic? or something then fine:) i think if people harass guests then they should be thrown out of the party SIMPLE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
night_sky_dream Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Well if HIC needs a break I'm more than happy to let him come 'rest' in my hotel room jk. I hope we'll all be nice to the guests and not hassle them too much, even though they are famous I'm sure they get stressed out/nervous/shy like the rest of us.

So Bella Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I agree with this. Even though they're celebs/actors, they're still people - who wants to be mobbed by fans at a party? If they're giving us their time, let them get their drink on and relax at the party. They'll most likely stay longer (I hope). B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, I never called everyone morons, but I do stand by that to those NOT following requests by the party organizers or event or whatever happening ppl attends, there is a HUGE difference if the VIP ask if anyone wants a picture! They ask if you want one, it'd be rude to say "no" wouldn't it? . So no I won't call you a moron for that, you just got the offer and you took it. Shame it was dark then...but you respected the other guests too :). So you did absolutely nothing wrong. I mean those who refuses to follow instructios in general, those who just CANNOT stop themselvs from harassing ppl for whatever. Those I call morons and I stand by that namecalling.

KrazyKid197 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 People were told, and it was on the rules in both the con booklet and on the back of the tickets. *sighs* A few ruin it for the rest really. And shoot themselves in the foot at the same time.

sebastianillyria Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 If you want my opinion about photoshoots on saturday night party, i think ... yes it was forbidden. I was not beside the actors but i think i saw guest liaison and bodyguards just behind the actors. If they wanted that it deosn't happen, they just would have to react, but they did not... So I think actors had no problem with that and the guests who stayed a long time seemed to be happy to have contact with their fans and seemed to be very relaxed with that. If the guests have been badly treated, i think organizers would have reacted immediately. There has been the same thing during the Gold pass drink on friday night... but i don't know what were the rules exactly. Perhaps it could be a good idea to post the rules on the forum so that everybody will know the free photoshoot rules before the next event. If people think it's autorized, and if everybody is requesting, it would be perhaps embarassing... The rules are the rules but... organizers have had a good idea not to be to strict with that.

wilko2205 Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 (edited) im not saying they were upset about being asked for pictures. i'm just saying they may have been a bit more reluctant to stay if they thought they would be begged for pics until 2am Edited March 18, 2008 by Wilko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikstar1989 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 thats true, so are we not allowed to take any pictures at all of the partys [and i dont mean of the guests!] it would be nice to take some of everyone in there outfits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they were upset, but it's true that it could be a reason (for some of them) not to stay a very long time at the party. So i think it's good that it is forbidden I have readen on the con book it was totally forbiden requesting photo and autograph. Could someone of Showmasters staff tell me what are the rules about photo during the Gold Pass drink on Friday because i found anything in the con book and i heard something who surprised me ? Someone told me she asked if it was possible and people told her it was autorized... Could you confirm me ? If it was really accepted, it wouldn't have been a good idea according to me. Actors could not take photo with all the gold passes and they are losing time the could used to speak with every gold passes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebredy Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 There should be someone in the room, making sure people are told when they come in the room, that they can not take photos of the guests, that will at least stop some people.. Thing is, people keep saying this stuff what writen in the con book, but it should have been on the website for Eclips before hand, as I know quite a few people who really don't want to be reading con books all weekend, plus I'm a really slow reader and it would probably take me all weekend to read the con book, things like this should be mentioned at the opening ceremony and then reinforced at the cocktail part itself, with maybe just 1 or 2 people going round making sure people are sticking to the rules or at least as many as possible are... I don't think they need to or can do more then what I mentioned above... LLAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
