Well I had a GREAT time albeit a sweaty time too  and I wouldn't change any part of it whatsoever. It was really good to meet new faces, from this country and abroad and I can't wait to meet some more faces, old and new. Remember Wicket, next trivial pursuit mmet we have, you're coming and staying with us. See you all soon. xxx

No probs Michi, it's nice to make the parents feel needed 
Glad you enjoyed your first convention EmpressJade, not a bad way to start that's for sure 
Shame you missed Carrie....she must have been on a break but hopefully you'll have another chance in the future.
The next one is down for September 2007, but that's because something special maybe happening in July 2007
Let's hope they put us out of our misery soon and tell us!!
Please, no more mentions of the sweat. I had nightmares about that

Oh my! What can I say?
Well ...
Best FF-UK meet so far that I have attended! The standard keeps getting raised. I absolutely loved every moment. It was the great company, the atmosphere between all the groups present was brilliant - FF-UK: London (and supporting chapters), Rebel Legion (UK, France, Germany, Belgium?), and UK Garrison (UK, Germany and others). We all mingled at points, and that was so important. People do get on, we share the same fandom.
But more importantly the FF-UK people present did an excellent job, all of the costumed members were absolute stars!!!! Koren, Matt (DK), Matt (L-T), Jase and everyone else  They endured heat to walk around and mingle with the crowds, and that was so much fun. Round of applause goes to FF-UK: London CR Lord-Tice, aka Matt You did a great job, your costume was great, and you deserve a medal dude (but you may have to get in line behind Chewie, he's still waiting on his ).
Great to see Richie again  Nice to meet you Twinky  Nige, Jamie - pleasure to see you both! Thanks for everyone who came down from other chapters - Hunky especially, I am on the look out for more clones for you dude. Everyone from abroad who I met, Michi and Jule (let me know about the Legacy comics), and our new pal from the French 510st Garrison, Fred Sorry if I miss anyone out, this ewok needs some sleep (Koren - did you change your avatar or is my mind playing tricks on me lol? ).
A huge thank you to Showmasters and Dark Horse Comics, the first for the table which made all the difference to this event, and the latter for the brilliant comic packs we could give away to visitors. Both your support is appreciated
And yeah, I'll do my best to get down to a trivial pursuit so you can beat me lol I'll get the details of all the York, Manchester and Leeds trips tomorrow Will be great to see you and anyone else from the FF-UK: London there, feels like I have extended my family lol, I so appreciate the kindness everyone showed me and the other non FF-UK:L members! And wagamamma's rocks, you have a convert. Ta for Matt and Kass on Sunday night, was cool having dinner with you, made for a pleasant end to the whole event.
And now for the boo hiss from wicket
Boo to Laj for not finding us!!! Must be the Mandalorian armour blocking your sight. Boo to anyone else who didn't find us. But especially BIG BOOO HISSS to one member of the North, 'cos she obviously had better things to do with her time whilst the real stars of the show were at the table where I was at.  to Jenny

i guess here's a good a place as any to mention our traditional annual london get- together.
matt,i know you've attended at least once in the past...
the rest of you,details as follows-
we have what we cleverly call our "park-meet",where we all meet up in a "park" in london,have a picnic,drink a fair amount of alcohol,play cricket-sort of,throw frisbees around and fly kites(actually,i do the kite flying,mostly... i like kites,i do!).
in years gone by,we've all had an absolute hoot and i'd like to extend the invitation to you fanforce londoners.
for pictorial evidence visit www.deltasourceonline.co.uk
or pm voren aka paul wright,for more details.
the date set is the 29th july,that's a saturday...
not sure which park we'll be going to,but voren aka paul wright will be able to sort you out with details.
come one,come all!

No need to thank me Tim. I automatically adopted my usual low-key salesman technique which wasn't really that good if you ask me, but something for me to improve upon. It's everyone else that should be thanked
I'd also like to say a BIG thank you to Paul and Showmasters for the excellent work they did, and of cause Dark Horse comics for their very generous support.
It was a very international affair and I loved that aspect of it. So thanks to everyone who travelled far and wide to see us all!!
Jamie, thanks for the offer and we can start a thread for that park meet if you like. I remember the Greenwich one well and it was a very nice day.
I think my feet have just about recovered

You should have seen me in the first few hours of Manchester G-Mex, I was quiet and shy, but then I was meeting most of the group for the first time, and then manning a table for the first time in ages. You did good, but we can always improve on stuff, me included.
On the way back on the train, I was thinking about what we need next time, just small things - straws for the bottles is one, so costumers don't risk getting water over themselves lol. I'll spend more time doing a write up later. If you get time, do a little write-up too, we'll give to Paul something to read.
If possible, anyone who got the comic pack, can you write a small thank you below and I'll copy/paste it onto the DHC forums, so they know their generosity was appreciated. Thanks!

Great to meet a few of you guys on Sunday - a good day all round.
Highlight for me was being questioned by a couple of uk garrison stormtroopers about the motorbike helmet I was carrying - quality geek moment . Good to see Carrie Fisher briefly, too.

It's probably hard to understand why I'm so enthusiastic about the username because it's kind of an injoke between Michi and Manu (from Spain), who used to call Michi a kartoffelkopf.
Kartoffelkopf is pretty much a German word and I'm not sure but I think the spanish often refer to germans as kartoffelkopf (kartoffel is potato btw )
But back to topic
