    apart from bumping into Anthony Daniels in the loo, I also encountered Richard LeParmentier.

    It was outside during the showing of ANH on Friday evening. Admiral Motti was being choked on-screen and right behind me I heard "Damn fine acting" - it was Richard LeParmentier, who was with John Culshaw. He then got mobbed for free autographs and proceeded to drop his wine-glass (which smashed) before beating a hasty exit to the pub.



    So.. who did you bump into?

    ...surely it's more interesting talking about the 'other' celebs we bumped into rather than the ones actually AT the show? :p

    I saw Jon Tickle for example...what a true celebrity star (if this were visual, my sarcasm would be like goo dripping out of my mouth...)

    I also swear that i saw Kylie one day.

    fair point.. I was going to mention that I had lunch on Friday a few tables away from Patsy Palmer and her kids (in the Fox) but it's not much to write home about :)

    Patsy Palmer eh? Not bad not bad!!

    SW wise, I guess Peter Mayhew & Jerome Blake (was good to see him again, particularly as I now know we have another common friend!) were the only two i bumped into outside of the autograph hall...the one big difference for me over my last SW con experience!

    I think actually meeting Rick McCallum by chance was mad especially when he signed my Pass and actually asking me if I wanted a photo with him was really cool, which i did :)

    LOL! I was walking around in an Admiral Ackbar costume and when someone said "there's Patsy Palmer" I thought at the time they were talking about me. [face_laugh]

    Mark Hamill was having drinks in the bar at our hotel Satuday night along with Kenny Baker and Shannon McRandle whom I got a autograph of earlier in the day.. sadly my camera's batteries died on me :(

    On Sunday morning David Prowse was having breakfast a table behind me and my buddy, and we also shared an elevator ride with Kenny Baker who was really down to earth same I was too gobsmacked to say anything..

    When we got back Thursday evening from the city, we saw Steve Sansweet sitting in the lobby of our hotel (Novotel)

    Friday morning at breakfast we saw that there were a few more of them staying there - David Prowse sitting in a corner stirring his coffee, Jeremy Bulloch coming in, chatting up one of the little people (can't remember who, but not Warwick Davis), the Needa guy and a few minor ones

    not much of a random spotting, but Rick walked through the Platinum stage before the... Fanboys screening, I think

    shared a lift with Needa later and got on one just when Bulloch got off

    Davis was then at the breakfast on Sunday

    does Robert Watts smoke? If so, I think I've seen him outside at breakfast one day, but I'm not sure

    and of course we saw a couple of them walk between hotel(s) and ExCel now and again

    we never bothered them, though, especially not during breakfast. besides, who does bring a camera to breakfast anyway? :p

    in the end I only got a random sneaky picture of Steve Sansween on Monday, because he arrived at the back entrance/exit of the SW Exhibition like 2 minutes after we got out.

    Tim & I were sitting near the West entrance having a bit of lunch on Sunday and we saw Peter Mayhew heading outside with his assistant to take a smoking break. Tim got some pics from a few feet away but we didn't bother him.

    Bum!! I just found out that Simon Pegg was at the auction on Sunday, and sitting only a few seats away from me :eek:
    He also won the bid for a Vader item but I'm really annoyed I missed him :oops:

    I saw Simon Pegg, though I can't remember which thing it was through. Dave'll remember, because he was the one who spotted him :p

    Um, I spoke to Jay Laga'aia after the Battle of the Bands, but other than that, no one :p

    Me and Leigh saw Steven Sansweet outside County Hall too, as we where leaving The Exhibition.

    I did get Rick to sign my pass but it's now nearly all rubed off :_|

    If only we could have gotten Simon Pegg at our table **sigh**

    Yep, Steve Sansweet was at the table and looking at the art work :D :D

    I blame myself for not talking to anyone of the VIPs, we saw. But what to talk about with them? That's always so difficult... ;)

    Was the same way with Matt Wood: we got to the FanClub lounge and then he sat there at a table with some people and I didn't know what to say or ask if I would've sat down there. And he seemed busy giving some kind of interview to the guys at the table (they filmed him with a digi cam).
