Zahariel Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Though can anyone really say they're alone when surrounded by hundreds and thousands of friendly likeminded people all there to have fun and bask in the glory that is (insert fav' star name here)? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinhead1987 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I went for the first time last July by myself just because i seen on some website george a romero was attending and me being a huge horror fan it was a must for me, mind you that this was my first time flying on my own and it was a last minute thing because i never even heard of lfcc before so it was all pretty strange plus never been to london haven't even been to a con before so i was abit clueless on how things worked but got to meet george and he was a legend so cool then tried my luck with stan lee it was a success then met tyler mane and he was awesome, so yeah i had a blast and will remember that for the rest of my life :) the things fans do for there heros but this time round i am dragging my gf with me and make a weekend out of it plus we have friends that live in london now so we decided to make it a tradition for every july :) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJHicks Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Thanks for the replies everyone.... Many valid points.... and agree that with the exception of the rare 'Elitist' everyone is usually so friendly and happy! I really can't wait for this year I have truely missed it! Without going into detail there have been many personal reasons as to why I haven't been but now those 'reasons' no longer have control over me it's time to get back in the swing.... My friend has since ordered his tickets so we'll be going together but splitting up to head to our photoshoots.... I have a costume in mind if I can turn my hand to making it in time - again as i'm no longer constrained i'm also re-launching my movie props and replica's business later this year!Hope to come accross you guys so I can say hello!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kymley Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) I'm going to be around the Harry Potter stuff; the guest, talks and photo shoots. If you see someone looking ill with a walking stick that will most likely be me Confused myself here; the above statement is about Cardiff - as for London I do have a friend coming now for Friday and Saturday and then Sunday I'm by myself. So much to do at London; I doubt I'll have time to even sit down Edited March 18, 2015 by Kymley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamsAdventures Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I usually go alone, more that happy for anyone that knows me or not to come up and say hello. I have met some really nice people at shows/cons. Don't know what I will be wearing yet (Had a shaytards t-shirt on last time) see you all there.

ZoeeGrace Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I've gone to the past couple of cons by myself because I've found that having people with you causes so much hassle trying to arrange a meeting point for when you have ops/talks/signings like it's quite stressfull. So I enjoy it more when i'm by myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danygonebad Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I am ostensibly going alone, although I have been trying to rally my twitter followers from the Game of Thrones community to all converge and meet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashvstheworld Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I'm going alone to :) Meeting some people inside. Just look for a lone Star Lord and come say hi ^-^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakers77777 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Not sure if I can come yet, I live in Scotland so wouldn't like to do all that travelling on my own, so unfortunately whether I can go or not really depends on if my friends want to go. Maybe in a few years after I've been a few times I would consider it, (I've only been to LFCC once before), but I'd really need to know my way around London and Cons in general before I felt comfortable with it.

ZanderMc Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Just booked my hotel and bus down from Glasgow so will be going myself. A bit nervous about travelling down to London myself for the first time but the bus station, my hotel and the venue all lie on the same tube line so I'm hoping it won't be too complicated. Can't wait for it though. Booked photoshoots with Christopher Lloyd, Jonathon Frakes and Charles Dance so far with many more to come. It's going to be a great weekend I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zahariel Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I remember my first LFCC on my own, you'll love it. The trepidation of travelling down on your own will only heighten the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cantosis Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 It will be my first one and I`ll be going alone. Maybe us loners should arrange a meet lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenThePirate Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I normally go with friends, as its a yearly tradition, but once we are on the con floor we all have different things to do/guests to see etc. so most of the time it feels like you're on your own anyway! We usually arrange to meet up later on in the day if we have gaps, or at a pub after to share photos and whatnot. I did go to the Friday of last years LFCC and to WLFCC on my own, and it wasn't terrible at all. As others have said, it was nice to be able to wander around at my own pace, not have to worry about leaving people behind to go and stand in queues, and leave when I decided I wanted to.

WaxworkScream Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I'll be travelling down from Edinburgh, most likely alone.Thinking of making a week of it, never really seen London. I get the feeling if I go to Camden I'll won't come home again! But yeah, this is my second 'Con' and the prospect of going around London alone I'll be honest, is terrifying - but the cause is strong! Looking forward to meeting multiple heroes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, this is my second 'Con' and the prospect of going around London alone I'll be honest, is terrifying - but the cause is strong! Looking forward to meeting multiple heroes The main things to remember and the most important are: On the tube, stand on the right of the escalators if you aren't walking down, don't stop in the entrance way on the platform once getting down to it, if you need a moment to gather yourself, move to the side and out of the way. You get 2 tries at the ticket gates, if it doesn't work after 2 tries move aside and find a staff member! Seriously though, there is lots to do and see in London and it's well worth it, especially when the sun is shining. I'd recommend seeing the Tower of London and the jewels.

But here in working class YES voting Glasgow, it'll be a one day thing for me. Those are rules about London and also remember, keep your purse safe. Whoever smelt it dealt it. When in doubt just mimic the local accent. There are no square sausages for sale. What else do you need to learn when you go to England? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My YES supporting working class self is disappointed about the sausages, but I'm sure I'll survive. *googles cockney slang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
