josh-hammond Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 originally went to get an autograph from him for some friends of mine but seeing how nice he was with the people before me (and seeing how im just getting into Sons of Anarchy) i got an auto for myself as well. Kim Coates is definitely now in the top 5 nicest guests ive met! SUCH a nice bloke. he seemed SO stoked to talk to everyone. absolutely cracking bloke! what were other peoples experiences of meeting him? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I'm gonna make myself look bad by admitting to having never seen SOA. But after seeing how awesome he was in his talk, I shall be rectifying that asap! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emz11 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Completely agree, I met him today and he was fantastic! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerbait Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 My love for Mr Coates has reached new heights today, he recognised me on approach to his auto table as we had tweeted each other last night after he posted a pic of fish & curly fries, he announced to everyone that he loved me and not only signed my dvd but then told me to pick one of the prints and signed it to Ms Fish & Chips for free! He then took some selfies on my phone and fist bumped me. When I then went to the photo shoot he recognised me immediately and after the photo kept his arm round me a walked to the printer with me acting like he was you going to leave with me, then later at his talk he gave me a shout out as Ms Fish & Chips again! I only watched soa a few months ago and I can honestly say he was the nicest actor I've ever had the pleasure to meet - if he comes back make sure you meet him!! :-D 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrvega Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Same here greeeeatttttt guest, With myself as well as with every fans out there.... He was chatty did not mind to take extra picture at the table even if I had already had the professional photoshoot.... We need more guest like him ... I've met a few guests this Friday, will not say every name here, all fine , but some are just let's say colder, nothing wrong with that, but I love when a guest seems happy to be there and shows love to his fans.... Michael Emerson was awesome as well, definitely a more reserved guy, but great as well, Kim Coates and Michael Emerson have been the highlights of my Friday Btw Josh-Hammond, I think I was a few fans behind you, otherwhise your story repeated with some other fans :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoryMcGarrett Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Don't even get me started on Kim... he went straight for the hug and i almost fainted and he was so nice. When i asked him during photoshoot for a hug he pulled me so close and he was so sweet. I love him to bits now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomeroSavini Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Cracking fun! I was around his table for the last hour for fun to try and catch some of his energy on my camera. He was having a great time and so were people as they passed. I have always liked the guy in so many films, but needed to stop buying autographs.... But he was infectious haha So I waited till the end of the day and was last in line for his days shenanigans. He put on a show, really was over the moon I loved Black Hawk Down, so he signed me another picture and just gave it to me. Then he wanted a photo, or two haha He kept on forgetting staffs names and shouting them over to take more shots. Even if his table said No Posed Photos. He was fun. No need to say more. If he keeps that up for all three days.... well a lot of happy people will be going home. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyvire Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Absolutely! I admit, he was only on my maybe-list, but definitely one of the highlights. Very enthusiastic and kind. A few people before me, a young girl was queuing with her dad and she got an autograph, just like that, free. For me, a hug at the beginning and a high five at the end. What a guy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh-hammond Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 so stoked that other people have had great experiences too. he's definitely the highlight of the con for me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinityKiller24 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Just chiming in to agree with everybody here. What an amazing guest. I asked if he could record a short video message for my girlfriend as she's a big fan but couldn't make it, he said that sadly he couldn't but told me to phone her instead and asked me to wait by the side while he signed some more! Listening to him talk on the phone with her was surreal. "Hi this is Kim Coates, AKA Tig from Sons of fuckin' Anarchy". Massive brownie points!! I can't wait for my actual photo shoot with him now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karen1774 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 What a lovely lovely man! Met kim today and couldn't have wished for a better experience. He had time for everyone and nothing was too much trouble. Please bring him back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ra Ra Rhade Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I've been having trouble getting a train ticket and was starting to have doubts about going (like is the universe telling me something?). Even considering all the awesome guests, Kim is the one reason that makes me think if I don't go, I'll regret it and this thread has reinforced that! I've loved him since the second I first saw him, 23 years ago and was starting to think 'well, I guess I'll have to wait a bit longer.' Nope. ::runs to the train station:: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmbroseGirl Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Just wow!! I knew there was something about him when i used to watch SOA. All my friends loved jaxx but for me i always had an eye for tiggy. Well i was wright, he and along with RVD and edge made LFCC for me. Definitely closed the wound of Ron's absence.

Wing Kong Hatchetman Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Kim was great. Spent time answering my questions and said I was intelligent because he was my favourite character on Son's of Anarchy and I've met 270+ guests at shows but this is the first time a guest has used my phone to take a selfie of us. Please rebook Kim Showmasters. Great guest, great guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanXant Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Firstly - Kim was fricking awesome. he's the reason i came this year, and drove 5 hours through the night cos the last minute addition meant all decent flights were gone. he was amazing with the fans and really funny. he even thanked someone in front of me for getting a siggy for someone who couldn't attend. Secondly - what's this about a Kim talk? there's nothing listed on the Tickets page, and i'm really annoyed that i've missed something like this as i would've signed up in a heartbeat. >:-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
