DullyEL Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 How long? Do yiu ever get worried about whether you know how to plan? I've not been to a Con since the end of October, come July it'll be almost a year. This is the most excited I've ever been for once since I started in Nov. 2013. Showmasters never fail to being my favourite organisers. This year looks to be the icing on the cake for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerd Who Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 2 years and a half. LFCC this year will be the first con I attend since November 2015 The reason is that there haven’t been any shows close enough to where I live or with Doctor Who guests (my main focus) big enough to make the journey viable. I’ve been to stage doors and other events in the meantime, but not conventions. LFCC is not only my first con in a long time, but also one of the biggest I’ve ever attended, and I’m going to meet some of my top favourite actors, so I’m absolutely thrilled and excited! I’m confident I’ll be able to plan everything properly because I’m a control freak anyway and I have a whole weekend to get back into the con mood. October is not that long ago, I’m sure you won’t have any problems planning and you’ll have a great time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1970 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I usually stick to two con's per year. LFCC is not the biggest I have been to but the biggest multi-genre. London is my usual spot for con's, as it is within a close flight range and I spend alot of time there anyway. If a special con comes I am not a stranger to travel, those hardly ever happen around where I live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebster118 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 6 years for me. Hadn’t gone to a con since Collectormania 13 in 2008 due to financial constraints until 2014 when I started cosplaying. After last year’s LFCC I planned to take a break from cons this year to recuperate my finances but decided to attend this year’s LFCC when Peter Capaldi was announced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broo Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 My first con was at 33yrs of age so I guess the longest I went without going to one was that (I'm intending one a year generally though and don't really see that changing) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faerie Tanith Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 About a year. That one year we didn't get a second Collectormania in MK so I went from summer to summer with no winter con. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazths1 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 35 Years lol. last year was my first ever Con, was something I had thought about for awhile but finally got round to it last year. I have been to 2 more this year, then next is LFCC 2018 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stassy Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 5 months, I average around 4 cons a year at the moment but I may cut that down to 1 or 2 after next year as I'll be concentrating on other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraHawk Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Including signings (which take just as much effort and travel) the longest I go these days is probably three months, over the winter period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_batflash123 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Beginning of april. I go to almost every con in Belgium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicAvatar Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 The longest for me was just over a year. LFCC June 2006 - LFCC June 2007 (having started in November 2004). Since then, I've never been longer than 6 months between cons/signing events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam_Carter96 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I’m currently in the longest period I’ve gone without going to a con since I started going to them in 2011. I went to Newcastle Film and Comic Con in October and my next one won’t be until LFCC at the end of July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, hey, on the bright side, Stuart, you can man the forum whilst QS and David attend LFCC then. Good luck! lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
