Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted October 27, 2011 Author Showmasters Admin Share Posted October 27, 2011 No groups this year? Nope, with the numbers we have, we don't need them. The autograph queues will be open queues, and the photos will simply be called by ticket type/number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowmarlin Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 It's a shame there's no screening this year, but we can't have everything, and I'm delighted we get a group photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen26 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I'm a bit worried about not making it on time to the photo shoots and signings. Is it just me or does everyone feel this way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockstar6662 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) All looks pretty straighforward. Though with all the gold/silver shoots on saturday there doesn't seem to be much time to get autographs, especially Tony's as the others could be got on Sunday or am I being overly worried? Just feels like there'll be photoshoot, few minutes to get auto, off to next photoshoot, only few mins to get auto before next shoot etc and if there's a few people in the queue, could be easy to miss out. Again, am I just worrying too much? Only used to the massive queues at CM/LFCC events. Edited October 27, 2011 by Rockstar6662 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adriangill Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I'm a bit worried about not making it on time to the photo shoots and signings. Is it just me or does everyone feel this way?Don't worry. There will be plenty of time. If anything, due to the fewer number of attendees there may be more time available in which to get everything done than there is usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only around 300 people so you'll easily have time to get everything done on Saturday, but as long as you get Tony's on Saturday, and Phina's on the Sunday you can split the rest between the 2 days Personally I was thinking that I would have plenty of time to get some decent food during the day :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen26 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I feel exactly the same way as Rockstar, I've been sitting here trying to figure out how to make it to make it to everything and not miss anyone. seems impossible :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just shows how new I am to this type of event. I'm used to queuing for 15-20mins or so for some guests at other events, it just looks like anything more than just a few mins would make things tricky here but those with more experience than me have worked it out so I guess they've taken this into account.

These types of schedules have been tried, tested, and succeeded at previous events with far more attendees than what will be present at this event. It can look rather daunting on paper but in reality it works very smoothly. If you have any concerns on the day just ask a member of crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a comparison the last Chevron had over 800 (possibly over 900 - I can't recall) attendees. One day guests are not an issue either. There have been plenty of them at previous events (most frequently at the various Hub events). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators etmuse Posted October 27, 2011 Moderators Share Posted October 27, 2011 remember that of the big blocks of time marked for photoshoots you will only actually be in the queue for said photoshoot for maybe 5-10 minutes maximum of that. Very possibly less. And it's really only Anthony/Phina you have to squeeze in on your main photoshoot-day anyway. (Although there will probably be plenty of time to get everyone, if you wanted to.)

I guess I was expecting the gold/silver shoots to be spread over the two days a bit more and not all on one day. But I suppose as long as there's time to get Tony's amongst the shoots then it looks like the others can be got on Sunday. Being used to other events I try to get as much done as quickly as possible. need to learn to chill a take it a bit easier with this one I suppose :) Appreciate the advice everyone. Just an old and overly worried newbie trying to get my head around it all. I posted a photo in the introduction thread a few days ago. Will be on my own and my first weekend con so if you spot me please feel free to say hi and help me settle in.

Right, I'll shut up now, calm down and start packing and just play along on the day. I think I owe you a very big drink for the calm words.

Ginnean Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 If your worried try and get your autograph with Anthony before anything else; even if you don't get through the queue in time before his photoshoot, you will see him heading off to the photos (ensuring you don't miss the photoshoot cos with there only being one slot for photos, the crew will make sure everyone gets through in time) you can then go get other photos/autographs while he's finishing the photoshoot and just go back to the signing when his photoshoot is over. Honestly though you really don't need to worry about not having time. At both previous cons I have had photos with all guests and group photo too but still only had one or two autographs left to get on the Sunday. Odds are you are more likely to find yourself with time on your hands but that just means more time to chat with the other fans. Or catch up on much needed sleep after dancing the night away at the awesome parties! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm an old hack at the other types of events. Been going since CM4, just not done one of these before and get far too worried about new things and not knowing how things work, where to go etc etc. Shouldn't be at my age but I'm sure it'll all work out fine. Not like it's the first event is it? lol! Edited October 27, 2011 by Rockstar6662 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
