Advice from UK flist needed

[elliejane]

I MAY be going to GMEX for Collectormania.

I'd been talking about it with a girl at work who adores most of the current genre shows (and is a Farscape fan ;) and she's offered to drive! I didn't really want to stay over up in Manchester, couldn't face the drive by myself so so when (Dans, was it?) put out a call to see who was going I didn't put my hand up. Figured I'd seen Joe Flanigan and Craigy Craig before so didn't NEED to go.

But C is all enthused, and has never been to an event before so this really could happen!

Bit of advice needed: do you think we should pre-book the entry tickets and the photo op tickets on the website? Or buy on the day? Are Early Bird tickets worth it? We'd never get up there for 9am (when Early Bird starts) but could conceivably get there before the 11am standard start. I wonderd if one reason for getting an Early Bird is to make sure you can get a photo op ticket, but if you Pre-book them maybe you don't need to.....

Any thoughts, lovely flist? I can't remember what we did the one time I went to Excel in London, with y'all. And is anyone going whom I might trip over at some point in the day?? Meg? Craigy Craig??

Heya. Well you know I replied to your text(s). Am def thinking about going. Joe Flanigan in the flesh. I think I might die (although at least happy as he is lovely to look at). LOL.

Will let you know my plans closer to the date. And yes, I've been to the GMEX before. So I roughly know where I'm going. Hee.

Okkkkk, mega feeling of time warp here. Hun, you do know that this event has already come and gone, right?? If you see my latest post (from a couple of weeks ago), you'll see the various amount of fangirling that went on! It happened the week that I posted the message you just replied to, and I actually half expected to see you there. Did you think I was talking about a different date?

I'm sorry if we got our wires crossed :(

At any rate I should think I'll be going to C11 (is it 11??) at MK in 2007, and I'm going to the Atlantis con in early Feb at the Thistle with C (They have DrMcKay (David Hewlett) as a guest and we're hoping for more cute Atlantis guys (won't lie...Joe F. would be perfect!). The Thistle...ahhhh the memories...lol.
