ZanderMc Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Not just you. I'm feeling the same. Think I have everything sorted but still really nervous about travelling down to London myself and then spending the whole weekend myself and nervous about meeting the cast of my favourite movie ever. Stomach is in knots at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHorrorFreak Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 You're not alone man. I'm sat in my hotel room, going over the schedules and freaking out a little. I'm going to meet people that I've admired for years and it's extremely exciting but at the same time so strange haha We'll all be fine man. I probably won't be able to sleep tonight though.. Too excited.:) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, you'll be fine! You'll pick up how things work quickly and get to meet some awesome guests! I should probably warn you though, that most people who go to cons often get the bug and end up going to more and more of them! As someone said in another post, just make sure at some point you stop and take in what's happening and enjoy yourself! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

666_porphyria_666 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Nervous, would be an understatement to how I am feeling right now. I'm going big this year and I have lots to do. My cosplay is a little more demanding than last years. I think STRESSED, is a better word! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GelNerd Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I know what you mean chubby - first con for me and I'm REALLY nervous.

lois Lawson Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I'm nervous because it's my first time at Olympia ( Only ever done EC ) I just hope everything runs smoothly and we all get to see who we want to see, without tantrums, arguments etc I'm sure it'll all be fine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitts Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I've done one or two cons, but nothing this big. I'm currently hyper, and also terrified! I'm not scared of the guests, just me making a fool of myself by standing agog in front of them lol! Coming down for just Saturday with my friend, and I think we're more scared of getting in the car park than anything hehe! (And we've pre-booked at that) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misty86 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I've been to a few events before but this time I'm going alone and it's been a few years since I've met a guest to get an autograph. I just got photos last year and that was nerve-wracking enough! Really excited though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cbiddle Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Nervous, would be an understatement to how I am feeling right now. I'm going big this year and I have lots to do. My cosplay is a little more demanding than last years. I think STRESSED, is a better word! Try not to be stressed as that will cause further things to potentially go wrong, take a deep breath and take it all in your stride!! I've always gone to my local this show expo in Birmingham whenever it's on. So looking forward to tomorrow as this is my first convention in London. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulWalker1972 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 You're not alone. I'm just coming on Sunday and for me it's all about Elm Street. Little nervous about what to say to Robert when I meet him. It's been an ambition for a long time. Then Sheffield in August with Michael Biehn, Billy Dee Williams and Amanda Wyss. Just hope I don't get tongue tied. Bit ridiculous. I'm 42 years old for goodness sake! but I'm definitely looking forward to it. Even if it's to get a weekend away with the current Mrs Walker and no kids!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemma8282 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I'm nervous lol! This is my first London com, so it's massive! Seeing all the tweets from the "celebs" attending is making it really real! I'm surprised they are flying in so close they will be all jet lagged Tom lol 😅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pretenama2012 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Not so much nervous but worried I wont get all the people I want, especially the big names! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maegurwen Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) Not so much nervous but worried I wont get all the people I want, especially the big names! If you have planned it out then you should be able to. You will be alright Not nervous yet, slightly exited. It will probably hit me in the morning Edited July 16, 2015 by maegurwen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayward One Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 This is going to sound ridiculous but I'm actually less nervous about meeting Sigourney Weaver than I was about meeting Charles Dance. So now that he's not attending I'm actually very relaxed about the weekend. (sad I won't catch him though, don't get me wrong) Know it's going to be busy but just hoping it's not going to be utter madness. I'm so excited about about picking up my diamond pass tomorrow and just having a wander about the Olympia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinityKiller24 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) Not nervous. Just very excited. Especially excited to meet James Remar. He was the reason I decided to go again this year. Worrying about the fact that I still need to pack and plan everything... and wake up ridiculously early for a 3-4 hour journey to London starting at about 8 in the morning! But all in all, I CAN'T WAIT! Edited July 16, 2015 by TrinityKiller24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFusion Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I'm both nervous and excited... I'm Nervicited!!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomeroSavini Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 It is always exciting it makes you feel funny, 1st or 10th time. Excitement and things in your head go on and on. Do I have this? Is that right? Did I remember that!? Just think in 4 days you will all be calm and done and rather happy with them memories. I am nervous of the 7 hour 1.40am bus journey tonight down from the middle of the country, as last time I did it someone was sick everywhere haha Some people think it is clever do drink. Then get on a nightbus for a long time..... jeeez 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
