Shows/Conventions/Exhibitions

I live near the NEC so over the years been to a lot. The lighting doesn't agree with me, so sunglasses and a fair few drinks before I go to anything is usually the plan. I've got a lot of freebies over the years getting in, as everyone knows someone who works there in this part of the city. I used to work there in the 90's and part of the 2000's. A few of my friends work security now, and my dad's old work place used to supply a lot of food there. It was backhanders and freebies galore at one time.

I've been to The Good Food Show, Autosport, MCM Comic Con, Collectormania, The Town and Country show, and others. Autosport and Comic Con being favourites. No cosplay.

Lucky you living so close to the NEC and knowing people that worked there (although a shame about the lighting!) and how very cool getting lots of freebies  What freebies did you get? What was the best show/comic con/other that you’ve been to there? Did you go in costume?
