Ahh, I remember seing you around. I had no idea that you knew some of the reprobates on this er' forum.

Sorry about the wait behind Rob, but since Tim was hogging him for so long, pretty much everyone was queuing up behind me. mischief

But I think he was one of the highlights of the con and well worth waiting for.

Didn't take many pics, which is unusual for me, but here they are in all they're glory.



A view I had for quite some time. Thought i'd get a pic to capture the moment.



Always cool to see the costumes. Though I think my Vader costume is better!



ODJ queuing for the cash machine. A common sight when at a con with loads of Star Wars goodies.

Cool pictures of the event everyone, I saw most of you throughout the day! I wish I'd have taken some photos, I've only got the UK Garrison photo booth pic!

Glad to see everyone's back. Sneaky pics there ODJ. Wondered why you sat behind us all in Subway. Now I know.
Nige, I think you're right. Kenny does look wasted in that pic with you. He seemed fine when I seen him. That one beer must have gone to his head!
Had a great day out. All the guests were brilliant, especially Paul Blake. Only downfall was getting the train back to Cardiff which was full of Madonna fans! Those headphones came in very handy and to think I wasn't going to bother as it was only a short journey.
Hope to see you all at the Newport con. I believe that's the next FE one. Maybe before at a few other cons.

Back grin Thanks to everyone who showed their faces happy Wales actually got their first meet lol, since we had four members in the same place at the same time, just hard getting them into the same room tongue But I really enjoyed meeting everyone and we have a few more members happy Next Bristol show maybe we should think about having a small table?

For_Mandalore - welcome to the boards cool happy Quite cool there were a few convention first timers, it was a small enough event not to scare you wink
I'd say that the Bristol Fantasy show was smaller compared to the Showmasters ones (Showmasters cover most of the UK) - Milton Keynes, Manchester, London, Glasgow (next year) etc. But they are similar in idea, some Showmasters events have talks by the guests too.

The big one to look out for is here - http://boards.theforce.net/uk_regional_forum/b10027/24430913/p1/?54 - an official Star Wars event, in London (Earls Court) July 2007.

Great pics by everyone happy I will check through mine later, didn't really get any in the show itself I don't think, was too busy planning the Everest trek and chatting to Rob Williams ... and Admiral Piett ... and Crix Madine, and inbetween timing how long LadyPoison could sit at Vader's desk tongue

LadyPoison - grin Great to see you here, glad you enjoyed your first convention wink So now costuming and bigger conventions? I want to see you get cut-price autos again lol, and we can time you at Vader's desk tongue

As for Rob ... I had to talk DHC shop! Give me a break lol tongue

And way too many sneak pictures lol

Glad to see everyone got home safely! Welcome For_Mandalore! Are you a Bristol local too? Did i meet ya at the convention? happy

I'm definitely up for trying some costuming!! I don't wanna be the only fan to turn upto the official Star Wars event next year not in costume :P

Not myyyy fault that I was soo long at Mr Prowse's desk, he asked me to come n sit and have a chat and who am I to argue with Darth Vader! I would have stayed longer if you hadn't sent Nigel over to drag me away :P

Back to work and regular life today, nooooooo! :/

You wont be the only one. I'll be in costume aswell. Maybe before Celebration, but definitely for it.
Anymore takers?

Thank you for the welcometimboltonand LadyPoisonit's a pleasure to be here. happy

I was scared for the first hour (and perhaps a little star struck) but once I started getting autographs I warmed up to the atmosphere. Celebration Europe looks cool something I'll deffinately be attending. Perhaps I'll have stormy armour by then for some costuming!
Are any of you costumers?

I did see you LadyPoison but we didn't meet. I was two tables away from Femi Taylor, helping my mate on his little shop. I also saw nlindenjand nearly stopped him a couple of times to ask where he got that wicked T-shirt! Did anyone notice the fella with the Boba Fett in anime style T-shirt? Have to have one of them!

Yeah I'm local (but not in a league of gentlemen kinda way happy I travelled from WSM.
peace
