We walked away disheartened and a little apprehensive not sure what was going to happen, would we make the ASH photo shoot in time? Of course you might be thinking at this point "Grow a pair Flo, go to ASH on your own!" but NO!!! We were in this together, it was all or nothing.....we had made a pinkie promise!
We dropped Sue off at her Jenna shoot and crossed all our fingers and toes that she would make it out in good time.
Off I went to hunt down a cold beverage, get some fresh air and wait for what felt like an eternity for Sue to call....

| Apparently Jenna wasn't well so kudos to her for still going ahead with the shoot!! |
Finally Dans phone rang "Which photo area is ASH in?" Sue asked as the phone was passed to me.
"Are you free?" I squeed down the line. "Are you out of your epic queue?"
"I might be....Now come meet me...!"
I threw the phone at Dan (sorry) and legged it (not skipped but ran) across Earls Court to where Sue was waiting for me looking slightly disappointed....
"Its not ASH...." she said...Someone else was using OUR shoot area for their session, ASH had been moved but where...oh my goodness today was really beginning to end on a dramatic note, off we went to investigate, luckily we found him hiding in another photo shoot area, we joined our final epic queue of the day and suddenly without warning became huge "woo girls"....
Mr Head looked absolutely gorgeous, dressed in a suit with his top button undone *swoon* I had some serious butterflies in my tummy about meeting him.
We both had swoon moments with him. Sue with the hug that just went on and on and me being called "my darling" after thanking him (and possibly curtseying in front of him yes I am embarrassing).

| The endless hug |

| *SWOON* |
Some other highlights of the day:
- Our batman and superman skirts, so floaty and lots of fun!!
- Singing "You give love a bad name" to Jon Snow
- Girl wearing a dress with the Game of Thrones map design on it and Sue saying "check out her Wisterarse...."
- Seeing Optimus Prime and Bumblebee
- Meeting my gaming buddy, John, for reals and his lovely fiancee Maxine
- Spending the day with my three best friends (as we say the original and the best!) Thanks for another awesome year guys.
- Enjoying an awesome burger with a cold beer (or three)
FOOOOOD TIIIIIIIME!!!
We left London that evening feeling absolutely shattered but most definitely satisfied with the days events, yes it was hot, yes it was over crowded but this was Comic-Con and we wouldn't change it for the world!!
On behalf of me and my friends I would like to send a HUGE hug and thank you to Showmasters for putting on such an amazing day out.
ROLL ON NEXT YEAR!!!!!!
