Day 1 of LFCC and I'm shattered. My feet are suffering badly, mostly because there was nowhere to blooming sit down (unless you went to the restaurant which cost me £7 for a flipping baked potato!!!!).
The atmosphere was a bit...meh...not sure why, maybe because it's a huge hall and everything's really spread out. I was mostly on my own since most of my friends decided not to bother this year, although I did spend some time with
kayim and
siluria and hung out with
mummybitch, even though she was working.
I got some Aliens autographs for
elulla who's away, and got John Hurt to sign an Oxford Murders pic for me. I'd wanted him to sign the behind-the-scenes pic which showed the back of him and then all of us in the lecture theatre from the filming, but my printer ran out of ink last night and my local Tesco didnt have the ink I needed :(
I got photoshoots done with Charles Dance (who said "ello darlin'" lol), John Hurt, David Anders and Jason Mewes. If you dont know who Jason is...he's Jay from Jay and Silent Bob...the one who used to have the really long hair. Well he used to have a drug problem and he got clean and cut off the hair and all of a sudden he's this scorching hot man...and I mean scorching, seriously!!!!! He was wearing this vest top and had his amazing tats on show. I wanted to lick them, phwoar!!! I loved my photo with him so much I got him to sign it later on in the day. I'd love to get another photo with him tomorrow but it's right at the end of the day and my plan is to go to his talk at lunchtime tomorrow and then leave soon after. Otherwise it's another incredibly long (and boring) day.
Last thing was the Heroes talk (which we had to pay for, all the others were free). It was supposed to be David Anders and Sendhil Ramamurthy, but Sendhil had to cancel so it was just David on his own. And bless him, he struggled. It was a frankly crap talk, not worth the £15 they charge, but we did get a couple of goodies so it wasn't all bad. I was ticket number 1 for his talk so I had the first seat behind the Gold Pass people, so got some reasonably decent pics of him which I'll post below.
On to the pics...

( David's talk pics )ETA: bugger, just found out the trains aren't running from where I live tomorrow due to engineering works. Looks like I'll have to drive to another station. Damn :(
