Straker94 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Does anyone have any regrets of the weekend? guests you may have chosen not to meet, talks you missed out on, perhaps you missed out on the cosplay events? My main two were not meeting Kenny Baker and Elden Henson. I was genuinely devastated about Kenny's passing when I heard, I'd actually just finished up at the Sheffield event when I saw the news. I chose not to meet him as he was schedule to attend the Newcastle show in November at the London show, massively regretting it now. I was unfortunate enough not to ever have a conversation with him, but I know he was a fantastic guest who will be a big miss at these shows and to his fans. I'd been planning to meet Elden all weekend as well, then for some reason at the last minute decided to go for Tobin's auto, which in the end I didn't even get regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators DavidB Posted August 16, 2016 Moderators Share Posted August 16, 2016 I always have a huge amount of people I initially want to meet, and then cut it down to the ones that I would regret not getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadine84 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I regret that I just bought two photoshootings with Jeremy. It was probably once in a lifetime that I met him and I should have bought at least one more shooting. But besides that - no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tompain100 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Apparently these were actually available - I just didn't look hard enough: That'll haunt me for the rest of my life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebster118 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Not getting the Wookiee Cookiees from one of the stalls earlier on the Sunday. I was on a budget and by the time I got round to buying them, they were gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoryMcGarrett Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I regret not meeting Michael Emmerson and Harrold Perrinau (i guess). I regret i didn't do the masquerade and that I didn't take Paul McGann's autograph. I regret whole con as i could've done it differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was implying that if you paid for loads of shoots they might think you were obsessed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomeroSavini Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I regret not doing more of everything over the 3 days. And the dire photos I was in with guests haha I pose like crap! If only I had a screen in front of me to see what idiotic things I am doing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerie Tanith Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I regret not making any of the talks. I'd planned to go to the Mads Mikkelsen talk originally, then decided against it so I'd have more time to look around and meet guests (plus my father was leaving early so I didn't want to drag him to a talk). I figured I'd do the Tobin Bell talk since it was later, but my train times meant I wouldn't be able to so in the end I didn't do any talks. I also regret not being brave and asking any of the guests for hugs... by the look of it, from other people's photos, most wouldn't have objected.

wjbleming Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) Yeah, didnt have enough time! lol Too much to do in 1 day! On the plus side, though, learning that lesson for next time & going for the whole weekend! Also, regret not meeting Kenny in hindsight of his passing (R.I.P Kenny) as well as a few others that may or may not be at future events as well as getting more/better photos of the cospayers. (Kept forgetting to change the ISO on my camera, dammit. 😑 Edited August 16, 2016 by wjbleming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony1975 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Not meeting Kenny Baker. I kept putting it off at SM events with the idea to see him next time. Sadly that will now never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradders Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Just one regret that I didn't meet Mads Mikkelsen at his auto table. I normally go for the photo ops rather than autos as a general rule anyway as I'm a tad shy... so opted for 2 photoshoots with him instead. Now really wishing I'd braved it as he was so lovely. Hopefully another opportunity will present in the future! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyggebjerg Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) I regret not getting a lot sketches started before sunday. I also regret not looking for specific comics during friday. Edited August 17, 2016 by Skyggebjerg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarioVl Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) I wish I had looked harder for Caroline Blakiston - apparently she was tucked between Dave Prowse and Kenny Baker on Saturday, and the area was so busy, I passed several times and I didn't even see her or her poster! I'd have liked to meet her. Other than that, it was an amazing weekend. Wouldn't change a thing! Edited August 17, 2016 by MarioVl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerie Tanith Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Oh, I also regret not checking out the YALC area. After forgetting last year, I told myself I'd go this time round. Forgot again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helara Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Not taking part in the community masquerade. Thing is I really had nothing other than pose as it's a bit difficult with some characters to do much if it's you alone especially when I could do some nice stage combat given a partner.
