Don't do it! Going alone will make you look like a loser!

jesus christ dude.. go there! meeting celebrities isn't as nerve wrecking as it feels before you actually meet them. and unless you're going to try and hook up, so you can get some nice piece of her ass, I can't see any problem with going here at all, even if you're going alone.
to quote a famous shoe brand: JUST DO IT!

Well, folks...sorry to say this, but it didn't happen. Partially because I didn't get down there in time to get a ticket to the actual autograph session and also because my brother was late getting there (drafted in last second so that I wasn't on my own) so I didn't want to leave him. That probably wasn't the wisest discussion ever but I'm a good brother so.....yeah, doesn't save me does it? But the good news is, I did see her. Not long enough to take a photo, again, I'm sorry, but the glance I got was great. This might seem cliche, but she does look alot better in real life. Wearing a great looking red dress helped too. But I can't help but feel I let you guys down, you know. I was looking forward to telling you guys all about it, how nice she was, how great she looked close up etc, but it didn't happen. The thing is, you guys have been so good to me since I joined, I wanted to do something to show my thanks and it didn't happen. Again, I'm sorry it didn't happen, but thanks for supporting me. Without you guys, I probably wouldn't have gone anyway. ;D

Don't sweat it, pal...
Actually meeting celebrities isn't half as great as you'd wish it is. At least for me it works that way.
Unless you have the chance of chatting with a V.I.P. for, like, ten minutes, it's only all about the usual: shake hand, say the usual and trite compliment, take a picture (if possible) and go away. So the moment itself is kind of a letdown...
BUt hey, I'm not a celebrity-obsessed guy, so with the exception of a couple of people, I'd not go out of my way to see/meet an actor/singer/TV show star.

I wasn't prepared to either, but it was more to do with the system.
Basically, on the day, you went up to the front counter and got a sort of fast track ticket to the autograph queue. Then they'd write the numbers on the laminated boards for people to know who was going up next. This was how it was like in theory.
Problem was...well, it was more like the queue ended up being 1-340 anyway. And also, you needed to get up really early just to go and get to the main queue to pay THEN get the ticket. Now, coming from up in Surrey and getting to London...that would have been quite tricky...also considering alot of lines were closed yesterday.
Basically, it turned into a clustersmurf. Now, what I would have done is sold 50 tickets every hour. That way, they didn't need to have big long queues all the time, the guests can have more of a break and other people can get an oppertunity and not just the guys with loads of money. (Seriously, the amount of people who basically got tickets just to meet different guys, especially the Heroes guys...was just damn crazy)
