The regional ones she just throws a load of funko pops at me and tells me who to get to sign them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disneymaniacus Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Last year was my first LFCC and went on my own and had a lot of fun. I normally always go on my own to conventions because it gives me more freedom running around from guest to guest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrong Name Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 I started going to cons with a friend, but he stopped coming as he wasn't really into collecting autos and I too found it easier to do these things on my own. Since then I've actually met a load of people I now consider friends through going to cons but I still treat it as if I'm by myself to be able to meet all the guests I want to. We tend to bump into each other a lot throughout the day anyway and we meet up at the pub when we're done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyfilm_1 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I always tend to go on my own if I’m only there for the day. It’s always great fun chatting to other people in the many queues! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Capaldi Fan Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 So basically we're all just Billy No Mates going alone. I actually prefer going by myself. Went with friends last July. While I was going around getting lots of photos with various Doctor Who guests they were totally bored. Decided after that just to go solo. You can always find someone to chat to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always find someone to chat to. Best solution is - go with friends/meet up when there but all go off and do your own thing. We tend to message when one of us is having a break so others can come for a chat/sit if they want, or I help out as a con donkey if I'm not doing anything. That way we all meet up throughout the day but no one's tied into anyone else's schedule. Edited July 10, 2019 by Raylenth 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Capaldi Fan Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 You know it can't be long until LFCC when you find yourself collecting £5 and £10 notes ready for autographs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Lucas Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Unbeliveable how organised some people are. I'm doing well just to have a list of who I really want to get and who I might get if there's time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my defense mine is very short so is easy to do, some Swedish people on here, naming no names of course, have charts that are more like battle plans! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not only mine to plan but my mother's too, as well as organising when to try for the 10 or so autos I'm trying to get for a friend of my sister's... I am so sad but I'm excited to get stuck in, kids might have to go to bed early so I can nerd plan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para50 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Has anyone asked whether they're still in talks with the remaining 'legendary' guests? Just wondering whether there could still be more big announcements or if things didn't work out with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest announcements are always possible right up to and during the event itself, Jason told us he was in discussion with these guests so I assume he still is in discussions but nothing is guaranteed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pir8Jenny Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Over in the "Statement from Jason" thread, word was that one of the remaining two "legends" is out, but they're still in talks with the other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read on here somewhere that 1 hasn't worked out for Summer con and they're trying to work the guest into either Winter Con or next year's LFCC. The other Legendary guest they're still in talks with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dragged them across London at early O'clock to queue for ages because they had 4/5 big Stargate names and I was worried I'd not be able to get them all. All I can say to old me is HA HA HA HA HA HA HA YOU THOUGHT EVENTS WERE HARD THEN! YOU FOOL! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
