Is that the one at Earl's Court. I wanted to go but sadly will be away.

I'm sure someone on here will be going.

Hey Jimmy yeah Ill be going on the saturday mate! I think Stu (Burnsy) was on about going too!

Shame you cant make it Pete.

Anyone else going??? Up for a beer? :|

 

[jimmymindtricks]

cool , iam thinking hothtony aswell

and iam sure about stu and tigerham

did you see that david prows was anouced aswell as miketyson

only thing i fear is that dart hader wont be signing as his name is not in that list with the prices

all prices sound great , 10/15 pounds , except for mike tyson who got to many blows to the head and is charging 75 pounds for a pic and 100 pound for an item sig;

i booked my train and hotel today , expencive but totaly worth it i bet

 

[PGowdy]

Let me know if you need to know a good pub or restaurant in the area. It's one of my many haunts.

Got a wedding to go to on the saturday, so if my head ain't hurting too much, then Sunday looks good, be great to meet up.

 

[jayjedi]

I am there on Sunday, meeting Tyson ( its only £50 for photo shoot) Just meeting him and maybe William Shatner plus there for the auction. It was great last year, i picked up a Piece of the mothership from ID4 for £30 last year so hoping for something like that again .

 

[ODB]

I'll probably go along. Hopefully there will be some interesting stuff there, even if its just loads of loose vintage to rummage through.

 

[jimmymindtricks]

great this is going to be awsome iam probebly going two days

i always find something the second day that i missed the first

 

[burnsy]

I always take the kids to these and this will be my first without.

Gonna be strange, but much, much more relaxed. Looking forward to seeing some of the illustrators
and listening to some of the talks. They haven't been announced yet so they might be wank.
But as it's an ESB special, I'm hoping to catch a SW related one.

Also looking forward to not driving, not spending £10 on parking and being able to enjoy a few beers.

 

[jimmymindtricks]

There's a simple fry-up place called Benjy's just Opposite the main exit of Earl's Court station. http://www.allinlondon.co.uk/directory/1150/23667.php
Very cheap and nice enough grub.
Up on the corner of the Old Bromton Rd is a nice place called Balans. It's a little more posh and expensive but the service is amazing and the food is great.

Best pubs to meet in are O'neil's on the corner of the Old Bromton Rd or the Prince of Wales which is opposite West Bromton Station (and right Next to the back exit of Earl's Court) not an amazing pub but convenient.

My favourite pub is the Atlas which is a small pub down the Rd from the Prince of Wales.

My first time, didnt realize there would be loose stuff to rummage through, gutted I cant go on Saturday before all the good stuff gets taken, oh well !!
Meeting up sounds good.
I have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever of any strip-clubs near there......




.....apart from Club Richmond on Earls Ct Rd :wink:

 

[PGowdy]

:lol: "Strip clubs" ... there was me thinking you were after a nice pub or restaurant...

 

[Dub]

I will be happy with star wars and a decent pint ..... or two. I would say I'm getting too old for all that strip club malarky, but lets be honest, I'm going to a convention full of comics and toys :?
