dreximgirl Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Hey guys, I am seriously considering coming to this. I don't think I can miss the chance to meet Peter Facinelli! I've done the Hubs and Chevrons before but this would be my first Twilight one. Is it scarily busier than the others? Because it sounds like it is. I tend not to do the parties as it's not something I overly enjoy - it's all about the autographs, photos and talks for me. I am waiting on a reply regarding a room share but if that falls through if anybody is up for sharing please let me know. (I am a 27 year old female) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hope you come along - I'm sure it'll be great :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Heey! I've only ever been to the Twilight cons so I don't really have anything to compare it to, yes it is rather busy (I think there'll be about 1000 of us?) but for someone who isn't overly keen on crowds I always have a wicked time! Plus the hotel is huuuge so we are all rather spaced out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted August 17, 2010 Moderators Share Posted August 17, 2010 Yes, these are by far the busiest conventions that Massive Events run, but it's never really crowded as the hotel's pretty huge And everything is organised well to cope with the numbers, so it generally runs smoothly!

(I am a 27 year old female) So far, ET3 is the only con I've been to, although I'll be at ET4 and HW2. I went to ET3 with supajulz and vikki407 and found it busy, but not excessively so. It's well enough organised that the main hall is the only place that everyone gets together at the one time. I decided just to throw myself into the whole convention experience and won a guest encounter with Tinsel Korey (who is sooo lovely) and basically had a blast. I can thoroughly recommend it.

Spectrum Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I started out with the Hubs (and indeed am here because I cannot possibly miss out on Peter!) and I think the atmosphere is very different, purely by virtue of the types of crowds they both attract. Particularly at the parties but you said you don't care about those anyway. But I have a blast with both, the Twi-cons are absolutely fantastic and I would highly recommend you acquire a ticket! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naurarwen_fangorn Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I'd never done an ME event before Birmingham Proms last year but had done other hotel based cons by other companies and gotta say I found the ME events to be the best and most organised. Compared to Proms (which only had around 300 people) ET3 was extremely busy but it was an absolutely fantastic event and I enjoyed every minute of it. I didn't really do the talks as wasn't feeling to great that weekend but luckily my friends went and kept me updated on what went on. A lovely extra at ET3 for me was John Henson and Richelle Mead. John's costumes were amazing and Richelle was lovely think it would have been awesome if Richelle had been able to do a talk aswell. The parties are awesome as they are a great way to wind down after a somewhat hectic day of autos/photoshoots/talks and definately a good way to meet people. Most of the meeting people happened just outside the doors as it was quite dark and loud in the actual room but ME always strive to make the rooms look like the party themes and always have some fun extras (bull/sheep brono type thing, fun fair games, bouncy castle to name a few) If you're considering it you should definately come as I believe you will have a fantastic time!

_Chelsea_ Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 When they said during a talk the amount of people that were at ET3 I couldn't believe there were that many. It was busy, but it was so spread out it was barely crowded at all. So I'd call it busy...but not scarily so :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HohoCullen Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) I've only been to ET3 (with my mum, I had no friends here then... ) and I had a great time , even when I didn't go to the parties and I didn't have anyone except my mum This time I am going to the parties and I have made looaddss of friends so I expect ET4 will be sooo much better. It's good to make friends before you come because then you have loads of people to talk to and party with Defo get a ticket! :) can't wait Jamie and Kiowa were by far my fave guests Edited August 19, 2010 by HohoCullen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayray_x Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Though you can always make friends there! Before Proms I didn't know anyone really, and just got talking to people in the queues/bar/talks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayray_x Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Aw :3 I think at things like this though, there's no reason to be shy, since ultimately you're all there for the same reason :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HohoCullen Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I'm shy with new people, so i will most likely be shy with my new friends I haven't met, but I'll get more confident with them soon enough :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
