And I am back home now and thinking about saving up for the next one! There really wasn't enough time to do everything I wanted to do, and some events overlapped so I missed them. I hadn't set out with the intention of getting any autographs, but after listening to Daavid Graham I simply had to have his..and he signed my sketch of Parker! Even made a very nice comment about the picture! Shane Rimmer signed a sketch of Scott Tracy and Stephen Baxter , the Sci-fi writer signed Symphony angel! So I am now an autograph collecter!
Gerry Anderson looked....... frail. and sounded, well, frankly , bitter about his experiences, which was a shame. The highlight for me was Alan Shubrooks talk on UFO special Effects.. Simply incredible. I now know hoiw they launched Sky 1, how they made the underwater scenes, how they got a UFO to spin, and how big Moonbase was! Fantastic talk, incredibly well illustrated and informative as well as being entertaining.
Seeing Identified in HD on a HUGE screen was super!
It was a fabulous weekend, very very busy, very informative and something I wish I had done years ago!
