I went all the way to Manchester to see the knights and then I didn't get to meet and talk to them because they'd signed the amount of pictures that was in their contract. Not blaming them at all, only a little bit the woman from the Comic Con staff I was talking to. She said that they were done signing and that they would be leaving in a few minutes and I asked her if there was any way, any way at all, that I could get to see and talk to Eoin because I'd come all the way from Denmark solely to see him (that's why I bought the ticket, Tom and Rupert got added later) and she said 'well a lot of people come from far away', like oh really? A lot of people travel from abroad and spend approximately 250 pounds to go to a small comic con rather than the big one in London? I didn't meet anyone who wasn't from England and everyone I talked to was surprised that I bothered going because it wasn't the main comic con. And the fact that she let a little girl and another girl through instead just made me want to sit down and cry.
I sucked it up and asked her if she would at least give Eoin the chocolate I'd brought from Denmark. She did (I wasn't even allowed to walk the five meters over to him myself, nope) and he gave me a big smile, a thumbs up and another smile a minute later. After they left, I tweeted him saying 'hope you like the chocolate; brought it all the way from Denmark. Shame I didn't get to speak to you, tho ' and then he replied 'oh :-( thanks for the chocolate though ;-)' which made my day a little better.

The panel was nice, they got some good questions, like 'if you were in Hunger Games, who would win' to which Eoin answered that he would because Tom would run out of food and starve and Rupert would be too nice, would offer that they could all just be friends and then get killed. They also got asked about which super power they would have and Eoin answered 'world peace', I just?? Also Eoin and Tom tried to break a chair. They were being very bromancey. It was a good panel but so short, I need more than 30 minutes okay.

Edit: They also got asked what their characters' job would be in a modern world and I think it was Tom who said a fitness instructor. Can't remember what Eoin and Rupert said but someone in the audience yelled 'strippers!' which, you know, /yes/. Also got asked about who they'd date, Gwen or Morgana and all came to the conclusion that Morgana was dead and that would be necrophilia. Actual thing that happened. Thinking about the panel gets me all happy, aw. Tom was amazing, Eoin was amazing, they were great, Rupert was a bit quiet but great. He did also very nicely point out to us that the show is over, which, thanks Rupe, I had no idea.
This was an MCM con, wasn't it? This sounds exactly like the problems they had at Birmingham with Eoin/Rupert/Alex. It grates on me that they continue to do this! I'm sorry they treated you like that

The panels sound fun, those guys always seem to bounce off each other perfectly

Yeah, it was an MCM con. It all seemed incredibly unorganized to me - there was an area for the different stands and then an area for sitting. And they put the guests / signing sessions in the middle of the stand-area which was already crowded enough without the long, unorganized queues. Idk, the con in itself was good, as in the people were nice, the stands were good and the guests were great, but the organization was super poor, especially considering how many people actually go.

You went to the London one, right? I feel like it might be better organized because it's bigger? Anyway, that's at least what the people I met yesterday seemed to think, that the London one was the main and biggest one. I'm not all too familiar with it, though

This sounds exactly like Birmingham to me. My friend and I had such problems at that con, quite a few people did - especially with people being told they weren't allowed near the Merlin guys and such. They kicked people out left, right and center (myself included) it was insane. They have a good set up, they just can't organise it, they definitely can't crowd control

Rella, I'm pretty sure at this point your smooth ride is because it was London, the side cons they just don't seem to care about, they're so chaotic.

I'm so tired too, not to mention exhausted. Just spent three days in Copenhagen trying to meet Olly Murs. Succeeded, too, got a picture and everything.
