It would seem you think I am totally crazy about Miss Kingston or something O_O words fail me, haha I'm such a fool, accept my sincerest apologies On a more serious note though, you prepared what you're gonna ask her? Or you just gonna see how you feel on the day? Well I have wrote her the letter And I am going to bring her something I feel both of these will give me a starting point of talking if I fail to tell her about my ticket, lol I mean she will have to say something to me if I give her the things surely? and then I might get more confident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangepeel Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 True, true......if you give her things, it'll definately get the ball rolling Great conversation starter that, ashame I'm too tight to part with anything I haven't gotten much it only cost a £1 but it is so yes And the letter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you should think about what the gift would mean to someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagart Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 What are the must haves to bring with? A smile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinny83 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 A typical bag's worth for me looks like this: â–º Tickets - for gaining entry and doing stuff â–º Fully charged camera - for taking photos â–º 8x10s - for getting signed â–º Post-It notes - for requesting dedications and attaching to 8x10s â–º Pen - for writing on Post-It notes â–º A4 plastic wallets - for storing 8x10s and photoshoots â–º Stiff cardboard pouch - for storing A4 plastic wallets â–º Small bottle of alcohol-based hand gel - for hand- and toilet-seat cleansing â–º Comb - for running through hair (what little I have) before photoshoots â–º Spare T-shirt - in case I arrive sweating or rained-on, or dribble food or drink down myself â–º Small roll-on deodorant - for freshening up once I'm inside â–º Packet of chewy mints - for freshening breath at various times â–º Bottle of water - for general sipping to aid hydration â–º Two bottles of Diet Cherry Coke - one for lunch; one for late-afternoon, for the caffeine buzz â–º Rolls - for lunch â–º Loads of snack bars, plus a small bag of mixed nuts and a banana - for energy at various times â–º Ibuprofen - in case I get a headache â–º Immodium - in case I get the squits No matter what time I leave my house in the morning, I start the day with a big bowl of Special K and a cup of tea. My secrets are out now. I feel dirty. You bringing a bag or a Suitcase Minky? I usually only bring a small Courier bag with my camera which rarely comes out, a bottle or 2 of drink, a new edition this year will be my ipad as I never go anywhere without it and other than my tickets to get in I don't bring anything else unless I have a specific item to get signed by someone attending i.e. BTTF boxset for Christopher lloyd but I did that when he was over last time.

tenshidarkangel Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 This is my first LFCC event (well first event of this kind anywhere) so i'm planning on packing light: Entry Tickets A List of ALL of the guests I'd like to meet over the entire weekend Times - This is for photo's and talks 2X Bottles of water 1X Minty Tic Tacs - hate to have onion breath when meeting Erin Gray lol A small notepad and pen to make any notes or changes to the event An A4 ringbinder Loads of A4 poly pockets for the autographs and photo's Lynx - was going to go for Brut but don't want to over power the female guests lol A spare Polo shirt in case of "mishaps" Hankies - in case of sneezes or i dribble too much when meeeting the guests lol digital camera and loads of batteries my mobile - so i can make ALL of my friends jealous oh and one other.... LOADS OF SPENDING MONEY:) I really cant wait for this event, next Friday, WOO HOO!!!!!!! Word of advice as this is your first con. Polypockets are great but can still get bent. On the dealers stands you will see plastic ones whicth are like £1 for 4. BUY THEM. There more sturdy and harder to bend and give them more protection! My list The above mentioned. I swear by them! Make -up (in case of needed touch ups) My costume (If i decided to Cosplay) Hair brush Drinks for me and my sister. Book - just in case of waiting times MP3 Deoderant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina197 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Hair brush Book Deoderant Agreed on these. I'll bring a book for entrance queues, and my hair (though short) is quite flyaway, so will be bringing my brush, and definitely body spray!

tenshidarkangel Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Yeh short hair tends to mess up more. And I like to look resonable next to a guest. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockstar6662 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Blimey, bit of an eye opener reading all this. It's usually just me, camera, money, folder with clear sleeves to store photos in until I get them home and at LFCC, tickets. Might have to rethink this a bit especially as I'll probably have a non-pocketable camera this time with changable lenses, bottle of water is a good idea, some nibbles too. hmmm. Another list need be starting methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyT Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 i can't believe no one has said toilet roll if you have your own toilet roll all is ok with the world lol and you could sell it if all the loos run out and use the money to buy more photo's etc etc Given you're unlikely to need a whole toilet roll, I tenbd to just make do with a couple of those little pocketsize/travel size packs of tissues - can be used in the toilet if necessary, plus have other general uses and are lighter and take up less space than a loo roll.
