Shows/Conventions/Exhibitions

To show how nerdy I am, I'm going to a Star Trek convention next Saturday and I'm really looking forward to it! :D 

I also regularly attend Comic Con a couple of times a year and have recently been going to a gaming festival. I also did a small horror convention too. So yeah, I do all the nerdy ones. ^^

That sounds fun! You’ll have to let us know how it goes   

What Comic Cons do you usually go to? I’ve been to one Comic Con before, several years ago when my eldest daughter was ‘really’ into twilight! I remember Keeley Hawes was there too, I really rate her as an actress.

Thanks! I will do! ^^

I usually go to MCM Comic Con in Birmingham, been to Manchester a couple of times too. They're always something to look forward to each year. :) 

Yeah if you’re going to London soon then it might be worth trying to fit in Camden Market, as I said before, I really think that you’d like it. There’s lots of good pubs and other places to eat there too so it could be a good place to refuel after the Pokemon shop.

Affleck's palace in Manchester sounds good, if I’m ever in Manchester then I’ll have to investigate it. 

Playing comic con bingo is a really good idea, especially if you have any time where you have to sit down to recharge for a bit, you can check what characters you have seen so far. Yeah there will definitely be lots of jokers this year!

I don't think I've ever been. I am going to London soon so if I get the chance I could go? We're only going so we can go to the Pokemon shop. 

I love alternative markets. I went to an indoor one in Manchester, Affleck's Palace I think it was called. They had all sorts of weird stuff. Things I remember vividly are the picture of Danny DeVito as Yoda and a bong that looked like a willy. 

Sometimes me and my sister play Comic Con bingo when we go. Put down cosplays we think we're gonna see and play bingo. It's pretty fun. Maybe we should do it again and put Joker in every box! 

Thank you! I still have it upstairs in my jewellery box, I kept all of my jewellery. I still have a thumb armour ring that I used to wear too. Have you ever been to Camden market in London? I think that you'd really like it there, they have loads of shops and stalls selling quirky jewellery and quirky everything really! I used to go there loads, I haven't been down there for a few years though, maybe overdue a visit! 

The old train station setting of the Manchester convention seems really cool. I like novel settings like that. I remember back in the early 90's visiting Leeds and they had an alternative market underneath the railway arches. It was the first time that I'd ever been to such a market and I was totally entranced! It was the first time that I ever smelled cinnamon scented josticks, I've loved the smell of cinnamon ever since. 

We'll have to swap notes on how many jokers we see at halloween and at your convention. :-) Teamwork makes the dream work as they say.

That spider ring sounds pretty cool! I have lots of animal rings too. They sell a variety of jewellery. Does depend on the individual vendors of course. So you never know what you'll find! ^^

Manchester feels more lowkey. It's crowded as it's a smaller venue, but I like the atmosphere. It's usually in an old train station too which is cool! I think it's only once a year, usually in July. 

We used to do a game of count the Doctor Whos. Think we should do it with the Jokers! Maybe with our combined forces we could make something!
