GoldenGreen Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Wow, where did that time go ? O.k. we have been waiting since the 7th February 2014 but finally tomorrow the fun can begin. I'm guessing one or two people out there might be getting a little, just a little excited ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericsdonor Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 At the moment I'm more stressed than excited, in fact I haven't been this stressed before an event for a lot of years! Think it's down to so much going on I'm worried I'm going to get lost and miss something and it not be able to be rectified!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 It'll be fine Ericsdonor. As long as you have a rough plan and know what you can accept missing/leaving early ect to get to things for you should be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassy1988 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Not sure how I'm feeling right now to be honest lol a mix of all sorts from excitement, worry, stress, depressed and sadness for me I think Excitement as I'll be meeting quite a few guests who I like and idolize and never thought I'd get chance to meet, worry as I'm not sure how everything will end up and if I'll end up missing out on something, stress because its going to be chaotic it will be my first event where I'll be wanting to meet a lot of the guests as its usually just 1 or 2 and I end up with a lot of time to kill this time our schedule looks hectic lol, and well sadness due to knowing it will all be over soon and I hate getting the convention blues lol and the thought of not having any idea what to do next heres hoping the LFCC event in July will have someone I would love to meet to make me feel better like Matt Smith or Peter Capaldi So yea that's me at the mo a basic mess I guess lol Oh well at least my recently purchased poster (which I hope to get signed) and case to keep it in all came in time for the event that's one worry off my mind as well as the confusing parking issue at the venue just hope our 3+hr journey down to London tomorrow goes well last time we hit a 30min-1hr traffic jam which was exciting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenGreen Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 At the moment I'm more stressed than excited, in fact I haven't been this stressed before an event for a lot of years! Think it's down to so much going on I'm worried I'm going to get lost and miss something and it not be able to be rectified!! You'll be fine, it's all in the planning. If you haven't already have a good look at the schedules for the two days and when your group is going to be called, also think about what talks you really want to go to and ones that you could miss if needed. Also if you have plans for autographs again put them in priority order of who you really want to get and who you are less bothered about. I've drawn up a provisional list each day based on my schedule so I don't miss anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericsdonor Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Ha ha the excitement will kick in tomorrow when I get there and have registered, I think I'm fretting as I've been able to print the photo schedule but not the talks ones so I'm a bit at a loss as to what'll overlap lol I've been to loads of events so I know that I'll have to miss bits of things so that's not an issue but the racing between areas may be a trauma lol Ah well roll on tomorrow so I can wander around the venue plotting out my route 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrehistoricCat Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I think my entire office knows "OMG OMG OMG I'm going to meet Benedict Cumberbatch"... I've been bouncing around the office like Tigger all day :) My friend has already arrived at our accommodation, I will be setting off tomorrow morning to join her and then WOOHOO!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfairie Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I'm so excited but also nervous, I have my schedules planned out but obviously these may change depending on how things go. Saturday is mostly straight forward but I have 3 photoshoots first thing on Sunday, two starting at 9.30 and the Production Team one at 9.45. I also really really want to see some of the Rupert and Andrew talk starting at 10 so am hoping the crew will let me do one of the 9.30 ones in the afternoon so I can see maybe half or even a bit more of it. The same goes again for the Ladies Of Sherlocked talk, if I can defer one of the 2 shoots I have that start at the same time as the talk I'll hopefully make some of it. I can but ask, it does say in the FAQ that there is no problem doing that, I just think I need to check with one of the crew first. Is this a possibility do you think?

Raylenth Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 it's certainly possible, and as you say there's no harm in asking. I'm thinking of doing the same with Lara's first shoot. It's only 30 mins and from what I can recall of my schedule it would be really handy to be able to do it later. I'm going to see how everything goes on Saturday with the many shoots and talks I have to do and I'll see how many auto's I manage to get done. I've resigned myself to not being able to see any of the vis effects talks which is a shame and I may only be able to see half of the Ladies and Saturday's group talk but I may have to sacrifice them to get other stuff done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfairie Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 If they'd started the 9.30 shoots at 9.15 the same as yours on the Saturday, I'd have had more chance to get them done,It's the fact that the first talk starts at 10am whereas Saturday's starts at 10.30 which means the timing is v v tight, I guess I'll see how quickly I get my first one done as if I'm done before 9.45 I'll head over and do the second one as you lovely A's will be doing your production shots until a bit after 10am anyway. It's all going to be a 'see how things go' weekend I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Additionally, I've completely forgotten about and not even looked at the schedule for the stuff going on on the second stage as I don't think there's going to be any chance of doing any of them.

evilfairie Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Second stage? What second stage. Not even contemplating trying for any of those. Like you say, we have too much to do really, which is good, I'm over the moon they got so many amazing guests. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all going to be a 'see how things go' weekend I think. Very much so, I've done my schedules with notes such as 'go straight to....after' 'leave talk by...' but really it's hard to predict. I've marked up my not to miss items but it will probably completely change once there. On another note, has it been mentioned anywhere when we will actually be let into the halls? I know opening is 9am but any guess to whether that means they will let us in only at 9 or we can go in earlier but nothing will be happening until 9? I don't particularly fancy having to race around at 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfairie Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere. Yeah, to be able to go in a bit before 9 would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhw Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Maybe since registration is from 8 they'll let us in the general area then? Hopefully? Maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Registration is likely to be in the food hall area, and not in the same halls as the con. So not expecting to get in until 9am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are correct, but even if we can get in 15 mins before would be helpful. As the auto's will start at 9, and particularly Ben's first session, it makes more sense to have the first batch of attendee's ready in the queue to start at 9 than to have the guests ready waiting for us to rush over!

Murph Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 In my experience the majority of the guests are never there ready to sign bang on 9am. Lots of times I've rushed in to get some early auto's and have been left waiting till nearly 9.30am. Really hope it won't be the case this weekend, but part of me is expecting it for some of the guests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Thanks Murph. There goes my hope of being able to get a couple out of the way first thing more than likely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
