Flo Vs The Epic Queues Of Epicness Part 1

7am and my alarm is going off, for once it didn't matter though as I was so excited I had been awake since 6....for this was the day I had been waiting for since leaving London on Saturday July 6th 2013.

Today was *cue trumpets* LFCC 2014 day *faints*

  
 We arrived at Earls Court around 10.15am on the Saturday morning, joined our first epic queue of the day - for the standard prepaid entry, and despite all my worries about getting in on time (I had a photoshoot starting at 11.15 and it was the only one Mr Romero was doing on the Saturday) once they opened the doors at 11am we flowed nicely in at around 11.05am, with time to spare.

 First item on our hit list was to join our second epic queue at the sales desk to buy photo op tickets with Anthony Head. Due to my hot date with a certain Mr zombie director sir! I had to leave and head  straight to my shoot area. As I left I turned round to Sue and shouted "race you to the end of the queue..." Assuming she would be waiting for me outside my shoot....

The queue for Mr Romero was quite quick though. Around 20 minutes, a handshake and a hug later this happened:

Nicest guy. And Best. Glasses. EVAR!!

 Sadly Sue was still stood in her epic queue when I returned and this actually ended up being the slowest queue we were in the whole day (probably due to people paying by card and us not realising the queue next to us had been cash only DOH!), when we finally got to the front we were advised they had added an additional shoot as Mr Head was quite popular (we weren't surprised to be honest) but as we had ticket numbers below 400 we would be OK to go to either one. We decided to stick to the original plan of going to the 2.15 shoot (especially as the new shoot clashed with another shoot on our hit list).

ASH tickets in hand, off we skipped, free at last, and headed straight for a mooch around the stalls.

Hmmmm mooch we could not though, LFCC was so so busy this year (good to see though) that mooching was simply out of the question, Luckily *Waynes World style flashback to train journey* we all had made a "wishlist" of items we wanted to check out and stalls selling these were made our priority.
Sadly I know I missed out on being able to properly check out some replica props, jewellery and shoes (yes shoes :-( I has sad) as we were swept past by a river of people, but some items on my list were ticked off so Im not too disappointed but also not happy that I came home with money....WTAF?!?!

The search for Cas begins...

 At one point it just got too hot inside, you could feel the air con trying its best to cool everyone down but it was also feeling the strain so we decided to step out for some fresh air, cool down and grab something to eat.
Being outside was just as much fun as being inside we were surrounded by literally hundreds of Cos-players. We saw some amazing outfits, sadly we were so taken by some of them that we forgot to take any pictures....dammit!

Checking the time we realised that Sue and I had far more important things to be getting on with so we headed back inside. Filled with excitement we again skipped (as best we could amongst the crowds) across EC2 towards Anthony Heads photo shoot. Much to our dismay we arrived to find a huge crowd of very confused people and we were not sure if we could join the queue or not.
There were all sorts of whispers going around the crowd that the shoot had be halved to accommodate another guest, possibly only gold ticket holders were being seen and then someone mentioned that they heard only tickets 1-100 would be seen in this particular shoot. Suddenly panic struck us. We had tickets 374 and 375 and the newly announced shoot clashed with Sue's only other photo op with Jenna Coleman. What on earth were our heroes going to do?
Suddenly someone started shouting "Can I have your attention please, we are very limited to time on this shoot for Anthony Head, we are only able to see ticket holders 1-100 everybody else there will be another shoot at 5.25 we will see you then..."
