Alexis Denisof (Wesley, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel)

Michael Shanks (Daniel Jackson, Stargate SG1)
Chris Judge (Teal'c, Stargate SG1)

various from Star Wars, and Dr Who

Meri has asked me if i wanted to come, i think shes asked me on MSN, (as i have her as a contact) and i have bucked up the courage by saying i will met her there as i live in Milton Keynes, and Milton Keynes shopping centre is my shopping town,at first i thought nah, i don't know...cos i'm quite shy.....but i will met her there.... (Rolly)

ohhh i know now why you wanted someone to design your name on the lotRs Fanatics plaza forum in the 'Get your name designed here thread'...so that you can put it on here....lol good idea!!!!

Thankies Georgia, I can't wait to meet you in person. It's gonna be a great day!

I'll try and come and bring Karl so our husbands have some one to talk to while we flirt with Sean....did I say that out loud? :P But I'll have to check my schedule and see. Hopefully though I'll be able to attend!



Mandy <LOVE>

awwww, I'd love to meet Sean Astin, I love him almost as much as Dommy..but I live all the way in U.S =( and such torture, my birthday is april 29 =( ...for all who are going, tell him I said hello!

I've posted this on other forums I go on, so I'll post it here as well.

I am determined that I will get to meet Sean at C7, so, if anyone wants me to pass any messages on to him, please post them in here, exactly as you want them printing out, and I'll pass them on. I have only one rule - NO gushing, I will not embarrass you, or myself by passing on messages along the lines of - OMG your so sexy, I love you.... etc, etc.

Jess

Oh, please send him a message from me!
Should I just type it in here?

Yep, type it in here, and I'll pass it on.

They've added more guests to the list, Lawrence Makoare will be there, as will Anthony Stewart Head (Giles from Buffy The Vampire Slayer) and a couple more from Star Trek, and Dr Who, and Star Wars. Check out the site for more info, and if you go on the Saturday, look out for me, I'll be wearing this jacket -

Thats a fab jacket, (wOw) I would never pull it off :NO: are you going to take lots of photos, I know a lot of the people you listed but cant go it be great to hear about what you get up to later this month.

I intend to fill my digital camera with pics, so if I succeed I'll have around 150 - 170 pics to share.

That jacket gave me a bit of a laugh yesterday, my Dad took me out on his motorbike (God I miss doing that) and of course, I had that jacket on, and my Dad forgot that it says LOST on the back, so we're riding through Mansfield with the word LOST fully visible on my back, I thought it was quite amusing. My Dad threatened to not take me on the bike again, if I have to wear that jacket (good job I know he's joking)

wow...that's an awesome jacket, jess. how'd you do it? you're going to go to C7 in style (Rolly)

Thanks, all I did was buy some acrylic paint suitable for all materials, and painted it on. Dead simple.

OMG, James Marsters and Alexis Denisof are gonna be there. That's SO COOL.

Alexis makes me think of my manager. Cuz he looks like him. ><() Making me have e crush on him for about 5 seconds. Untill I dreamt about kissing him in our kitchen. That was so lifelike that I woke up being a bit embarassed and totally confused. It was so real that I thought it really happened. So I decided to snap out of it. #haha#

I'm visiting my friend in Liverpool that weekend, so I'll obviously not be able to go, but I'm hoping to get to the next one they hold because I've never been to one of these things before and I'm keen to go! Although I wouldn't have a clue what I'm doing ><()

New guests have been announced, on the Saturday only Tom Felton (aka Draco Malfoy) will be signing. On the Sunday only Chris Barrie, Craig Charles (excuse me I think I'm going to cry) and Danny John Jules (Rimmer, Lister and Cat from Red Dwarf) will be signing.

I'm most upset, this will be the second time I miss Craig Charles, I'd love to meet him. My timing is terrible.

Bernard Hill (Theoden) has been added to the C7 guest list!!!! and I'm happy coz he'll be there on the Saturday and Sunday

5 days to go!!

Good luck for tomorow peeps (--) hope you get to meet and see them up close.

I'm Back, and I have piccies!!!!! AND

I Met SEAN ASTIN!!!!

We saw Sean arrive, he was wearing a black jacket and dark glasses, and had 2 security men with him, it looked like the mafia had arrived <lol> .

He was sooo nice, we met Sean first, I had Mary on a wrist strap to stop her running off, and as it got to our turn she decided to tangle me up. Sean reacted by saying to Mary - do you have to keep mummy on a lead to stop her running off? We got our copy of 'There and Back Again: An Actor's Tale' signed, and the kids had been given a free piccy, so, even though we only paid for one autograph, Sean signed that anyway, just for the kids.

After Sean we met Kiran Shah, who was also really friendly, he was quite happy talking to the kids.

We then wandered round, looking at the stalls, and getting photo's where and when we could. We also got our phot taken in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

We left early, as we were all really tired, so we didn't get to meet Bernard Hill, but maybe next time.... It was a great morning

more piccies -

Kiran Shah


Chitty Chitty Bang Bang -


and a Dalek -

Wow! That's so awesome, Jess! Congrats. Wish I coulda been there ;)

I'm glad Sean is clean shaven again...I wasn't really liking the beard on him. :hee:

hiya!! its me Dom's#wife, i haven't been here for ages since i wrote this post thats above, but guess what, i said nah, i might not met Meri but then i did on Saturday at collectormania, and shes well nice!, and so was her kids and Hubby, :) i didn't met Sean tho, i was tooo nervous, and i thought i'd have to pay just to go up to met, and not get his Autograph like meri did, but i went up with her when she went to met Frodos scale double and get his autograph, and he looked sweet! that means if i could go up to see Frodos scale double and not have to pay for that, its only the autograph, then i could've done that with Sean despite the nervousness (tudy< , i thought that i'd get stopped and asked 'Excuse me, but you haven't payed even to just go up to him' but that didn't happen...
Meri i just read the post when you were saying you went on with your dad on his motorbike, awesome!!

My hubby video'd part of our signing with Sean, so I have created a mini movie, with the clip and all my convention piccies and autographs. Unfortunately Jim stopped recording just as Sean started talking to our son, James. If you want to see the vid please right click and save as.

Conventions vid

The piccies were taken at C7, C5 (May 1st 2004) and London Film And Comic Con (March 6th & 7th, 2004)

Wicked, sounds like you had fun, and it didnt rain must have been a first for english weather.

The video is cool, its like we can watch what you saw. Pity it wasnt longer. (Rolly)

It was a brilliant day, and it wouldn't have mattered if it did rain, we were indoors the whole time
