Next weeks event?

[jam21x]

Sorry if this in the wrong place, but whats the name of the event in London we are going to next week

[Zero328]

think this would go in the events board. basically on the 25th and 26th, there its the Manga Comic and Multimedia (?) or MCM (for short) expo in london EXCEL centre. people cosplay and look around in a place where stuff is, plainly put, overpriced but probably hard to find in everyday life of england

[jam21x]

Ah, sorry, could some one move this to the events thread

What sort of cosplay is allowed ie does it have to be anime or can it be somthing else eg star wars?

Where are we all gonna meet on the 25th and how early?

There is only one with such power... and with great power comes great responsibility...
...and kirsty has it... ¬¬"
Hehe, just kiddin kii ^^

As for cosplay, i think its pretty open. Correct me if im wrong, but i think MCM means movies, comics and manga... i think thats what it is..., so theres no real limit to the possibilities.

And as far as meeting up goes... im there on friday from about 9am onwards. i was planning on heading to camden for shiny things... but can be persuaded to meet peeps?

Thanks, sorry if im asking retarded questions but its the first expo ive decided to go too so im a little worried about what I need to do.

Expo isn't a society event as it's far too short notice to organise everyone but I'm happy to help with stuffs. It's at the Excel centre in London, I'll be in London from 10.30 with Andy and we'll be heading to hotel and then Expo.

You can go for the weekend or just for the day, any cosplay is allowed. For the one in May I'm doing Nightcrawler from X men and there always Star Wars and other such peoples.

If you want to go I'd suggest megabus for travel as it's a it cheaper. Hotel-wise, if you want to go for the weekend, I'd have to grab off Shini as she booked it for Me, her and Andy. Etap is a popular one... just not the one in Barking! (we walked FOREVER)

I'm breaking in my colour contacts for my expo cosplay ARGH irritation!!!!!

Andy mentioned it last night and said any one could go, but it seems like it might be a bit late notice.

[Reno]

Its not that late... i mean you have 8 days... and yea megabus is really cheap... but the cheapest prices are either really early or really late in the day, so you've gotta plan it carefully.
I'll be in london for just after 9 if anyone wants to find me...... not that i'll be much use if you do, but i'll certainly feel popular X3
Oh and if jack or liz read this... i can has monies at soc on weds? much love peeps ^^

Hey ^^ Andy is right, there's no age limit to who can go, but as Kii said; it's not a soc event this is just something a group of us have planned to go to but you're more than welcome to come with us if you're going too.
Obviously you'll need to make your own arrangements for travel, tickets, hotel etc asap as there's just a week to go now. I'll be heading up with my boyfriend and his brother on Friday morning as we've got tickets for Video Games Live which is on in the evening. We're getting the National Express up and staying in the Etap with everyone else.
For expo, they'll be selling tickets on the day though there may be a day or so left to still buy tickets online. I'm guessing there's no more fast track tickets left so it'll be normal entry tickets which you'll need to get for both days. I highly suggest bringing your own food with you or heading to a supermarket when you get there as prices in Excel are mind boggling!
