European/British members of the community may wish to clear their schedule for the final weekend of May, as a very interesting guest is set to attend Collectormania in May in Milton Keynes!
Hmmm thinking about it. If anyone’s turning up in costume, don’t bother going into the exhibit hall. It got very crowded last time I was there. Best to stay around the outside stalls.
For those intending to visit, Slavitza is planning to attend on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, all three days of the convention. The price of £15 has been posted in regards (presumably) to the charge for her autograph, and she will be taking part in a photoshoot session - currently only scheduled for Sunday.
All things working out, both Carl and I will be driving up on the Sunday in costume with gear. I may even visit on Saturday to get some autographs from the Boys from the Dwarf.
Sunday appears to be the best day, the majority of the gears appearing in costume appear to be planning to visit Sunday as that coincides with Slavitza’s photos (Sunday only).
Don’t know about hotels, I’m afraid. Might be worth seeing if someone else from Manchester on the UK GB forum is also planning to attend, maybe you guys can carpool and split a room.
Hey guys, sorry to chime in late to this, i’m definately going, i’m getting the photo session and everything. I’m coming on the train from Manchester, just wondering who is going to be attending for sure? I was going to go with Hasford1978 but he has other commitments so will be traveling down alone most likely. Plan on coming down on saturday and staying over the night, anyone else doing this? If so, any heads up on hotels etc? Would be cool to have a few gbs in the same hotel, definately would prompt some Sedgewick reinactments
I can’t help you on the Hotel front, but here’s how things look for those who’ll be in attendance:
Myself
Carl (UK Ghostbuster 89)
EgonsGal
Hondaboy
lukeysixx
Mark (shodanmark)
mother_pus_bucket (selling prints at the event, including a Ghostbusters-related one)
Rich (and his missus)
Twinkieboy76
Should be a good turnout if we’re all able to get there in time.
The majority will be there in costume on the Sunday. I’ll also be there on Saturday (out of costume) to get some autographs (and maybe do a bit of principal photography if I do end up videoing some of the event.
Hey guys, so I’ve been looking around at hotels and most are wanting me out of the room for around 10.30. This is gonna be a pain because I’ll have nowhere to stash my case and a ghostbuster wheeling around a suitcase kinda kills the image somewhat. I was wondering if anyone on the sunday would let me put my empty case in their car if they’re driving? I’d pay of course. I’ve contacted Collectormania about this seeing if there’s anywhere i can put it but they’ve not got back yet. The only other way i’d be able to get my gear down is not stay over and get up at stupid oclock, get my gear on, bus it then train it to milton keynes, and the weight of my pack on my back for all that time may very well snap my spine
Rich no worries mate and yeah I’ll try to make LFCC, you up for Zombie Aid 3? I’m defo going to that one
