A Review of FCCG 2015! (Saturday)

Hello!

Just thought I'd put in my two cents about today - what went well and what improvements could possibly be made. If any SM head honchos are reading this, I'd really appreciate it if you took any or all of my advice on board.

Let me start by saying that today was one of the best days I've had in a long, long time. I loved every second! I really needed this since I've been going through a bit of a tough time lately, so I wanted to thank SM personally for that.

The stalls were amazing and I bought some brilliant and well-priced mementos, the auction was interesting and I even managed to snag a TV prop for 50p! Cosplayers were so friendly and willing to pose for photos, not to mention the insane quality of their costumes. I tried to get as many as I could because there were so many stellar outfits!

Last but not least, the two guests I met (Daniel Portman and Charlotte Hope), were so lovely to meet and definitely two of the best guests I have met so far, if not the best. They were very chatty, I talked to each for about 5 minutes, (unheard of at the London show), about Game of Thrones, Glasgow and life in general. My photoshoots with them turned out better than I could have hoped, and I was overall delighted with the whole experience.

Summing up, it was a bloody good day!

If there is one constructive criticism I could make, I'd really like to see the event moved to a larger venue next year. The show has grown so much, even from last year, and at times it was difficult to get around - it could take about 20 minutes to do a circuit of the arena. This posed problems with photoshoots, the auction, all sorts, so if SM want to continue growing this event, which I would love, I'd suggest maybe booking the SECC or the Hydro next year. Braehead is just too small now for the number of fans this event has attracted! I don't want to imagine another year with even more people there!

Just a wee point that would make the experience a whole lot better. Overall though, I was delighted with today. Thank you Showmasters, I hope to come back next year (My toll is at least two Game of Thrones guests )
