Retrobot0110 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Hey, it's going to be my first time to LFCC, so i was wondering if there's any rights of passage, rituals or things everyone feels you've got to do to really be a part of it? I kind of get the convention itself it's more the other things around it, best bars everyone goes to, partys, things like that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina197 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Not really, just come along and enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisonloub Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 There isn't really a right and wrong thing to do!! Good thing to do it (which I have found helped us!)...get to know people first, (us lot, not the guests!), if you have never been to these things before (like me last year!), you don't know anyone, so I would say get on Facebook, find me alison blake (alisonloub) and add me then keeping adding away, your get to know some faces and then when you get to LFCC you will have some faces to reconize!. Also, someone once said to me, look on IMDB for guests you want to meet, so you can get some idea what they are up to now and you will have something to say when you meet them. Have plenty of money! Cosplay if you wish!! (hopefully we will be cosplaying at LFCC 12!) Most of all Enjoy! Welcome! Ali xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosie727 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 i would say have a blast, everyone is friendly, a bit mad and dont worry if you go a bit fangirl/boy when you see your fave guest we all do it!! eddie mcclintock gave me a hug so i would calm down enough to speak properly, but hey it happens.

Abigail94 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 the one small point i would like to make is that whenever i have been to lfcc there are normally some ignorant pushy people around the huge guests so just be careful but have an epic time as it is really great to go to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ioreth Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 If a guest is free go up and talk to them, even if you don't want (or have money for) an autograph. Most are happy to talk and you never know, you might even be able to get a free photo with them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted November 1, 2011 Moderators Share Posted November 1, 2011 I would certainly discourage anyone from going up to guests and asking for free photos. I know it's nice if you can't afford to meet everyone, but I certainly wouldn't want anyone getting the wrong idea that this is possible a lot. It's not.

RavenclawKing97 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I wouldn't expect / ask for free photos but at EMS we went up to frances barber and just said "We thought you were amazing in Dr.Who" and as we wre walking off she called hey wanna photo?. BUt we were really surprised and din't expect it at all :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyKirsty Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 You have to bring donuts for everyone if you are a newbie. Cut loose, have fun but don't forget to respect the AUTHORITAAY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuato_Lives Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I think if you go up to a guest's table without the intention of buying an autograph then you should either a)Be made to buy one or be ejected from the building without refund.

FON Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Save up plenty of money, there will be loads of great guests that you want to meet, photo shoots are fantastic and there are always loads of great items on the dealer tables. You can never have to much money for these shows. Most important is just have fun. Fon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentayuk Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Welcome! No right of passage needed mate, just come down and have a blast! Just remember to bring good attitude for a good time, everyone there is ultra friendly, as we're all there for the same reasons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abigail94 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 with asking for photos from guests if it says you can do it (so no post behind them), it is always ok to ask and if they say alright then go for it . also if you see other people doing it you know it should be ok to ask.
