Hmm this sounds tempting and since I'm in England then... perhaps I should go to Birmingham on the Sunday...

Well Susieg & I are still unsure of whether we'll be there or not due to us both ending up in hospital recently - but it will be a great event anyway

Hope you are ok now! In the end, I didn't go either for various reasons. Did anyone go? Would love to read report and see pics! daxmaryrussel (back in the "delta quadrant" now after 10 days in London)

Went with the UKG, had a ball myself (well we had a charity Ball in the evening - geddit) but I know a lot of the guys who've been there lots of times before said it was very very quiet. Mem has had a change of management and from what I hear not everybody is happy with them. Apparently one of the stall holders who has been coming to Mem since it started and always gets a stall right near the enterance had been moved further into the hall and had a screaming match with the organisers, and vowed never to come again. Still looking forward to attending in Nov myself. Got a few pics. www.houndofculaine.f2s.com/MemAugust05.htm

Great! Thanks for that report and those super nice pics, hound! I particularly liked the light sabre fight pics, the "SG-1" pics - great outfits, the Stormtroopers queueing up for food ;D ;D and "my" fake Picard - that guy is everywhere, isn't he? (Does anyone know his name? Know him?). First saw him on my first ever convention in Blackpool 2001 "Voyager - The Return". This one is from the Creation Star Trek convention in London in 2004, I think daxmaryrussel -- "Reports of my assimilation are greatly exaggerated" Picard - First Contact

Yeah don't know his name yet, but he opened the doors for me when I walked out of our changing rooms as Vader. Weird really Darth Vader having the doors held open by Picard (he was in full costume too). He's just joined the 501st under our movies costume section, so we've now got a great Picard lookalike as well as Vince as our Ewan lookalike. You should see Vince and Lee in action, they've learnt the whole of the fight at the end of ROTS, even starts with the whole "You will try!" speaches, and boy are they fast. Really pulled a crowd each time they performed it. Yep from seeing the guys dressed in SG1 uniforms I'm now doing one myself. PS I'm the Vader in the top two Photo's (but not later on), I'm not short (6'2" in my socks) it's just I always get stood next to our 6'+ troopers

I only met him briefly, but he seemed like a really nice bloke.

He is. I met him a few years ago, but he was at the Memorablia before this one promoting Starhyke. We went for a meal after and he is a very interesting man.
Yours Anneli
