(David Prowse, aka Darth signing our picture)

Yes it was a total nerd fest, but it wasn't half fun!

[albaqwerty]

Total nerd fests should be whole fun, not half :-)

Take it a good time was had by all?

James Earl Jones, Liam Niesson and Ewan McGregor were missing I suppose? (sob)

Excellent B00!!! how brilliant!! :o)

[B00]

Yeah Sadly, so was Harrison Ford, lol.

Though someone was there dressed up as Darth Maul, and I found him as strangely attractive as I did the real guy in the films, lol.

[excelsior-1]

i was unaware of this event, otherwise i'd have gone

i'm glad you had a good day .. the photos look great

[B00]

Hey wingy!!

Yeah it was brilliant, we did get a little star (wars) struck when we saw David Prowse and Kenny Baker- we're total muppets!

[B00]

Awww shame excelsior, I did post the other day that I was going to this, shame you didn't see it :-(

[albaqwerty]

oooh Darth Maul, now there's a baddie who could turn a girl's head. (I'm keeping up above the waistline here!!)

Told Mr Alba what you were doing today, having batted me eyelashes at him, he told me to cool my jets. Blooming spoilsport.

[tonyav]

Bloody hell Darth is knocking on a bit aint he, didn't think Jedi knights could ever age.

[B00]

I was lucky Alba in the fact that Mr Boo was 3 times more excited about going than I was!

[B00]

He was still a big bloke tonyav, can only imagine how imposing he was done up in the gear in his prime.

[Arksided]

Being a total SCI-FI geek (smeghead to some) I wish I'd known about it, thanks for sharing the photo's B00.

[tonyav]

Yep, remember him when he taught us all how to cross the road.

[B00]

you're very welcome Arksided. You're making me feel guilty now for not saying again that I was going and where it was. I think I made the original post about this event on Friday?

And we're total Red Dwarf nuts too :P

Apparently there's a SCI FI fest every year in Manchester, we're going to look into that- will let you know!

[Lore]

They're fab, Boo. Soooo jealous!! :)

[excelsior-1]

there is a two day sci-fi fest at the peterborough east of england showground next weekend (look for it on www) many huge sci-fi stars .. i cannot go as i'm away, boo-hoo, but i can at least let you know about it

[tonyav]

All these posts are making it look like an episode from the Big Bang Theory lol.

[B00]

Ta excelsior, but too far for us :-(

[Arksided]

B00 , no need to feel guilty, I simply should have been paying attention to whats going on ;-) ..and that would be great to be at the next one. "smoke me a kipper...."

[~Wingnut~]

I would have been there like a shot!! So lucky B00!! I hate crowds but would have sucked it in to have been there! :o)

[B00]

You'll be back for breakfast Arksided? ;-)

Yeah, the crowds do drive you nuts Wingy, especially hard to take photos, doesn't help being a short arse I guess. Mr Boo got far better pictures on his camera.
