Memorabilia

This event was held in Birmingham UK on the 29th and 30th of November 2003

I was very lucky to be there I met an few LOTR actors I

Had a great time got up at 7.15 after staying online till about 1am typical me. Jane came and picked me up at 8 and off to Claire's to pick her up after picking her up we got half way down the road before realised we had left the pressie's for the guests behind and we had to go back. We thought we would get to birmingham in about 1 and half hours or 2 we didn't get to the hall till about 10.45 15 mins before the doors opened.
Sara had been there since 9.30 we had planned to met her at 10. We had already bought tickets to get in at 11 but she had to wait to buy her's there. Being me I decided to get my ring waith costume on while stood in the queue I was half ready when the queue started to move. We went in hoping to not have to wait for Craig Parker for long. We went past the collectors and mobles stall where they gave us a bag with an maginzine in it. The bag became really useful later.
So then we go over and look at Craig for a while before Claire decided she wanted to see Amber Burton (Tara from Buffy) but she went on a break. So went to see Craig he looked damn fine like normal and he remembed Claire we had bought a bunch of roses to give out to the guests I had written a small card for the Craig one as we were giving him to one for his birthday and one for christmas.
He really liked it and Claire gave it to him and pointed me out as the one that had written the card he smiled up at me. I got my picture of me and Craig at the london expo dinner signed. I'll scan it in when I have time or rather when I can be assed to fixed my scanner.
We had pictures taken with him and I hung round to see if I could get a ass shot. I think we said hi to Jorn after that or as I call him random elf guy. Then we had to go back to Amber to give her her's.
Then we went to see Danny John Jules and Craig Charles.They both seemed a little drunk and they put weird accents on we gave them a rose each. I think we went for lunch then and then looked round a bit before going to see Mark who was very nice and had a funny t-shirt on that said boss elf. We then went back to see Jorn and we looked at the Roses and counted them and decided to give him one as well he looked a little surprised and we had a few group pics with him. I took more pics of craig and we drooled more. We looked round more then back to see Mark he smiled at us and we gave him a Rose he was like I saw everyone else getting one and he seemed really happy then. A few friends of ours came over and we chatted about things and met some more people and chatted with them about things. Then got really tired and hot so went had something to drink and got changed. We looking at stuff then we noticed Craig was going so we went over and we all got hugs even Jane and she's not a huge LOTR fan and she didn't ask for one. I also got a kiss from Craig and I kind of kissed him on the cheek. Claire also got a half naked picture signed by Craigfor Marie it was so funny. Mark was trying to see it and Craig was like I was a lot younger I needed the money. They were both laughing and Craig kind of drew on it. They waved goodbye to us and then we went shopping more before going home.
