I think you can get shoots with all the guests - it's probably likely that they have put James & Nicks on sale online as they probably will be busier. The rest you can 'buy' once you're there I should imagine
eta:Also I'm staying at the Thistle as I usually have a ton of artwork/cameras and stuff to lug around for signing etc. I've stayed at the Sheraton opposite a couple of times and as hotels go it is nicer than the Thistle but I hate the walk to the Convention. .

Bad news about Harry - he was the only guest I hadn't met yet. I think it's too late for a replacement, not sure if this con organiser usually has surprise guests either.
Oh well, looking forward to the weekend but not the drive there. See you all in the bar?

What about Halloweeny costume Isy? I mean I wouldn't normally but I'll feel a bit of a plonk if everyone else is, but then I have to walk to the other hotel in constume which could be awkward. Oh welly. haha, that's how my brother feels he's going to my sisters party and doesn't wanna dress up but he feels like he should cos everyone else is meh, i don't dress up if everyone else does anyway i think there'll be quite a few not dressed up but a lot will be dressing up

The gay activist in me isn't loving the first quote. But I don't think he meant it the negative way. I suppose he's just very sure of Buffy's sexuality.

It was meant in a comical way. He's a very funny man. Although he may not know where to stop. He did say something I can't recall it at the moment, but it bought on a near shocked silence from 600 people. Well he has some sort of concentration/ADsomething thing.

I suppose he's just very sure of Buffy's sexuality. he made the comment after the audience told him she wasn't gay, so it definitely wasn't in a negative way hmm, i don't remember what he said that shocked the audience either maybe i just didn't even notice

"Well he has some sort of concentration/ADsomething thing. " If he does it was not apparent this weekend.
I don't recall him saying anything that stunned/shocked me and I was in both Q&A's.
Nic is a very funny guy, both his talks were entertaining and I took his comments about S8 storylines as someone who played the character and how he would have felt had these things had transpired in the TV show. Several times the other regulars were referred to as like 'family' hence the incest implication. Also prior to just being told about Xander/Dawn he had just made a comment about a paedophile news item he had seen here in the UK and then this came up - he jokingly regretted mentioning that first.
It was a very enjoyable gig - Once I've sorted my photos & notes I'll post links to them if anyone is interested.

Thanks for posting your pics and report! I'd seen a lot of pics already, but haven't seen any reports posted. I'm regretting not going... but I've heard there's one next year? Will have to go to that.

@xanphania I don't usually do very long reports but this was the first Massive Event I'd done - usually I go to the S tarfury ones, so it was to let my flist know what it was like. It's tough to choose between taking photos or notes of the Q&A's . Sometimes my con buddies do notes but I went to this one solo.
I'll be booking the next one this weekend most likely. Anthony Stewart Head is the first guest, I know that Nic wanted to come back but it's not confirmed.
