Ok so I made the “wise” choice of waking up at 4am Sunday morning…yeah I’m crazy, since I only went to bed at 11pm I didn’t even get too much sleep. So after getting ready and stuff, my mum drove me and Charlotte to the train station. We then went to platform 1, where trains to London go, but then we realised, as did many other people for some reason they were boarding on platform two. Quite a few people missed the train cos of this. The train being one at 6:53am, and there were actually quite a few people getting on the train at this time on a Sunday. Got ourselves somewhere to sit and sat down waiting to get to London, on the way there Moo got hungry.

So Charlotte nicely shared some lettuce with him :P. And you can see Moo was having fun on the train.

And just for Paul here is me and Moo on the train :P

After getting off the train we had to make our way to Earl's court 2, which was a nightmare, we weren't sure on the tubes cos they go silly routes so it took us about an hour to get there finally.

But at least Moo was having fun, so when we finally got there, very hot and tired, we joined the line, then a few minutes later found out we were in the wrong one, (as we had already bought tickets) and we joined the queue for people without tickets. So we then joined our queue and sat down.

The place was very big as you can see from the picture, and the queue curved round going anti-clockwise, so easier to say is it was pretty long and we got there about 8:45, the doors didn't open till 10 so we had a long wait, and it makes me wonder what time the people at the front got there.

Anyway the line started moving just before 10, of course the second I started drawing, so we went in, and were given free xmen piece of cloth things, altho I would have rather gotten a Pirates of the Caribbean coin, cos it looks nicer, anyway, here's what myself and Charlotte were given.

Anywho, we then went to where we saw a bundle of people, being tickets for the talks, which we picked up first thing as we were planning on going to see the Alan Tudyk (also since on the saturday Nathan Fillion had a talk but Alan joined in). Then we found out where the virtual tickets were (so we could get people to sign stuff). We then picked them up for a whole host of people, for some we planned on seeing and some we didn't and some we were unsure of. Here's what we had left over between us.

After that we looked around a little and then found Andie Tong, Staz Johnson and Lee Townsend, although no John McCrea as he just didn't turn up on Sunday for some reason, maybe he didn't have many people ask him for sketches so he thought there was no point :(.

So first thing I did was start work on George's birthday present, hopefully she will love it, hopefully O_o, but after that was done (not saying what it is unless anyone asks) I got Andie to draw a picture of myself, which is rather cool

Andie drawing me which was fun ^_^ and then the finished image.

I was talking to him about how I didn't care about Eilijah Wood, so he incorporated that into the image :)
I also picked up all the following images cos they were cheap and the best of what he had ^_^.

And got him to sign all of them, and then I also picked up a sketch book as with the picture of me it was only a pound.

Which I got him to sign as well ^_^.

While I was getting that done Charlotte had Snake from Metal Gear Solid drawn by Staz

And here is the cool finished pic.

Charlotte then got Andie to draw Mal from Firefly, which she was going to get signed by Nathan later. Andie found it a kind of weird picture to do but he still did it anyway, and he was cool about it
And then she popped over to Lee and got him to draw a picture of Wash from Firefly, which she was going to get Alan to sign later.

Just before we left we made sure we had a picture with each of them and moo, Staz found it very weird tho ^_^

Then we walked around for a bit, looked at the stalls and got pictures of ourselves, or moo with the cosplay people.

We found Daredevil near John Barrowman's queue and just had to get a picture with him.

Found the Tusken guy near the start, some guy took the picture, so they didn't know if you move it would blur.

Saw this interesting guy and knew we had to get a picture, he was advertising for a props stall.

There were all the Star Wars people posing in battle stance, but Charlotte didn't take the picture to well.

Got a picture with these funny guys, shame I moved when the picture was being taken though.

Now this guy was really scary, nobody was sure if they were his actual teeth or false, either way he was a mix of the Phantom of the Opera and a few other things.

These guys were real cool, although there were three agents with her, but he was being moaned at as he was too close to somewhere else, the woman dressed as Trinity was very nice ^_^.

A picture with me and a load of Jedi's but I was kinda moving and the picture didn't take too well, the guy with his sabre on moo said he was gonna cut his head off O_o.

This is a member of the crew we were talking to when we were waiting for Alan and Nathan, she was really nice, and also a little weird ^_^ she told us all about her Lord of the Rings postered up bedroom and other things O_o. We creeped her out when we asked for a picture though.

We stumbled across this lady and asked for a picture and she was willing to, even though she was a bit shocked when we asked her

We saw Batman knocking on a Dr Who telephone box on a stall so we asked him for a picture, and him and the um Power Ranger nicely posed for us.

This was really cool at this point as they were all kinda marching round, so I had to get a picture. It's not a bad picture either.

Same with the Jedi's as they were behind the Imperial troops.

Then a bit later they had moved round and they were posing and apparently tons of people were rushing over to get pictures, so I got one.

Then we saw K9 and knew we had to get a picture, so we popped over to the guy that operated him and asked if he actually works and stuff, so he picked him off the table and made him move around. He attracted so many people at that point, before there was nobody around and then suddenly there were people taking photos. So I asked if I could put moo on him, but he warned me he may run away with him. So I put moo on him,

And he ran away ^_^, and of course loads of people were also taking pictures of moo on K9 which was cool, he then came back and I took moo back and we said thanks and stuff.

We then queued up for Alan and got him to sign the picture drawn by Lee

It's apparently one of the funniest bits in Firefly according to Charlotte, I haven't seen the episode so I don't know yet :P, but yeah Charlotte didn't ask him to write what he did, he came up with that.

We then sat down for a bit as it was lunch time and Nathan had gone to lunch so we sat around a bit, and then decided to cue up, even though he was supposed to be back at 1:00 he didn't get there till almost 2:00 so by the time he was back there was a massive queue behind us so we were pretty lucky to of got there earlier. Also while we were waiting for Nathan, Alan was a bit bored so he drew on Nathan's picture, as you can see from below. He was drawing a beard on the picture if you can't see.

Lots of people were taking pictures at this point. Anywho then Nathan came out and we were waiting a little while till we were at the front. And a crew member was nicely offering to take pictures so we gave him our camera.

But before we even got to show him what we had to sign he asked if we were twins, he then told Alan who replied back saying he knew, and then he asked to take a picture of us, which was um different ^_^ so we agreed and he took out a camera taking a picture. After that he whispered to Alan that we were clones, then he had a look at what he was signing. Firstly it was Jade Empire, as he did the voice for Gao the Lesser in it.

He wrote on it that Video games save lives ^_^ which is different, and this is mainly because Charlotte didn't have a clue of what she wanted written on it. At this point the crew member told us to pose and he took a picture, but is was really blurry, so we got him to do one with the flash, which is as follows

Charlotte then gave him the picture that Andie had drawn, and he looked at it for a second then realised it was him and was amazed by it. He then remembered the line from the film and was asking everyone how to spell Buddha as he didn't want to spell it wrong.

We then asked if he minded having a photo taken with moo and he said only if one of us was in it, and he said about how it doesn't really matter which since we were the same :P

Nathan was just a really nice guy, I'm glad Charlotte wanted him to sign stuff ^_^

Then we popped back to Alan as we never got a picture before, and he was fine about it, which was cool, Nathan then whispered how we were clones again, and then posed with Moo, which is the best shot of the day.

We then got a picture of ourselves with Alan, but it was a bit blurry :(

By the time this had all finished we realised we should queue up for the Firefly talk, and to tell the truth I didn't think it would be so long, I've drawn a picture of how long it was, and the place was very big, so my picture isn't a good example

But Charlotte asked a crew member and they told her that everyone who has a ticket will get a seat, and that people without tickets line up, we were also telling the people behind us this as they were worrying too. They were also talking about Carrie Fisher and how their number on their VT wasn't small enough, so I gave them mine as I had 86 and wasn't gonna use it ^_^. Then we talked to them about our journey and stuff.

Also a guy came up to Charlotte and asked about her shirt and where she got it (STARS logo on the side) so we told him about how we bought a shirt and stiched the patches on, and he told us how it was so cool.

Then the line started moving and we got in, the seats we got weren't too bad and not right at the back. We could hear them so it was ok. I now have various pictures of the talk, which was very funny, and they were just great.

The talk lasted about 45 minutes and I tried to get a question asked by Charlotte but alas my hand was up for about 10 minutes and never got answered.

After that we got cleared out of there and wandered around not sure of what to do next so I decided to go back to Andie Tong, and get him to draw another picture as I'm so demanding, but I'm thinking over if I should post it up ^_^.

I also then got Staz to draw me a picture of Harley Quinn, which was cool as Harley Quinn just has some coolness about her, probably as she's not all there like the Joker. Anywho here's the picture.

We then didn't know what to do so we popped back to the people doing signatures and took a picture of Carrie Fisher an Moo.

If you look closely there's a red circle, there's Carrie Fisher, there was no chance in hell that we'd get a picture with her without getting an autograph.

We also felt it appropriate to get a picture of the Dr Who people and their crowds of people.

We would have got pictures with them, but we didn't have a clue to who they were really.
Got a picture of Charlotte and Moo standing outside as well as we never had a chance before hand since everyone was rushing and stuff.

Then we decided it was time to head back home, so we took a tube, this time round knowing how to get back, then after a long tube ride we walked from Monument to Bank which was overly fun, so of course it was picture time.

Then we finally made it back to Liverpool street and got a train home, and luckily got it when it came in so we could get seats on the lovely air conditioned train. Here is me on the ride home "sleeping".

And that's it, well there was also an NCSoft stall there where we got free stuff.

Nicely sat on the front garden, I went to bed pretty early last night, as I had a pretty long day, But I'm happy we went and it was nice to finally go to a convention.
