And if any question or concern pops up during the event just catch a blue/red shirt with your question(s) and they will help you out.

Preferably a blue / red shirt with the word 'Crew' written on it.

I would recommend just catching the folks in the blue shirts. The crew in the red shirts seem to have an unusually high death or injury rate.  You might risk injury just by being nearby.

So would love it if SM started with gold as well as red and blue

If you have a bracelet because you are attending all Weekend yes, the entry will be really quick after you got your bracelet.

Paul will very likely have a split photoshoot anyway, with a second shoot being in the afternoon. As you can go any time after your Batch was called there won't be any issues there.

 

Thanks for clearing that up! I thought it was a fluke that they let me in like that and that I was really lucky. Now I know for future occasions when I may want to show up late!

Do they release a floor plan of sorts along with the timings of everything ? 

They release a floor plan telling you where the photo shoot and talk areas are but not information about where the guests will be.

Thanks for the reply :D I’m sure I’ll figure it all out when it’s out can’t wait for my I-Zombie photo shoots :D

Hi everyone I know this was asked before but what do you put the photos and autographs in once you receive them? I have to get back on a plane and last year we didn't think it through and everything got a little squished. Would rather prevent that this year!

You get this when you pick up the photo at the photo op. Anything else you have to bring yourself. ^_^

Yeah I got that! They still got a bit messed with in transit, was wondering if there was a better solution!

I will use a display book with a rigid cover if I can find one in London. Also I’ll put them in my carry-on bag during my return flight so they don’t get creased. I feel you because a few years ago an autograph I was giving to a friend got a little wrinkled in my checked bag (I stupidly thought it’d be safer there), but I never had a problem carrying photos in my cabin bag ;)

I got something like this. Went to the store and bought the most solid one. Have been with me since my first con two years ago. Love it. Store my photos and auto photos safely. Fits into my bag and I keep it there when I'm flying. Safely by my side all the time :D

These are perfect, cheap and suited to carrying around in a bag on can day.  Don't use for long term storage as they aren't acid free but as they are rigid they are perfect

I think there are also vendors selling autograph holders at the venue.

To echo what Raylenth said about her storage boxes, just make sure not to use the holders sold at LFCC for long term storage, as they are also not acid free.

I bring my own folder in leather to store my photographs B)

I put all my autographs in a folder, behind plastic. others I have bought the frames at LFCC with the name tag on them for example for John Cleese en Jeremy Renner previous years.

What sort of folder do you put them in?
