AA 2008 Even More Guests!

[Deleted]

We're just FOUR days away from Auto Assembly 2008 and as we promised, we've got yet another couple of last minute announcements to make...

* TWO MORE GUESTS CONFIRMED! *

We have now confirmed two more guests for Auto Assembly 2008 bringing the total to THIRTEEN! We are now being joined by John McCrea and Lee Bradley. John and Lee have both been working on Titan's Transformers comic for some time and John is going to be working on Titan's upcoming Transformers: Animated title. They have both also been working extensively in the comic industry and will be making their Auto Assembly debut.

* PRE-BOOKING DEADLINE IS TONIGHT! *

Don't forget, pre-bookings close TONIGHT so if you haven't already registered, you've got to get your bookings in by 9:00 pm GMT so we can process them and get your booking confirmations out in the post to you tomorrow to ensure that they reach you before the convention.

* NEW EUROPEAN RECORD IMMINENT... *

Bookings have been flying in and we have almost hit the total figure that we had in 2006 and that means just a few more and we have set a NEW European record and we will do this easily from on the door bookings!

* BBC AT AUTO ASSEMBLY 2008 *

It is looking very likely that not only will Auto Assembly 2008 be filmed to be included as a bonus featurette on a DVD, but it now looks as if the BBC will be sending a camera crew to the convention for their Midlands Today programme so expect to see a couple of camera crews around during the day!




Well, we're almost there but who knows what else might happen in the next 48 hours... See you all on Saturday!

Why, monsieur, with Graham's Ferrero Rocher, you're really spoiling us.

Well, you guys deserve it! Just wait until you see what we want to do for AA2009 if we do a weekend long convention...!

[Andy Turnbull]

Definitely shaping up to be an action packed day.

We'll be on Midlands Today? I might get my father to watch that so he can see for himself that it isn't a kiddie convention.

I'll be interested to see how the feature is cut together. Hopefully they won't be too unforgiving.

Looks like this year's going to be one to remember, Simon! Congrats to all the organisers!

Even more great news! Yay!

[The Doctor]

Hopefully the Beeb don't ask if we wear costumes or I may revert to Scottish stereotype!

I feel I must man the TMUk table with a drink in one hand almost all the time to keep the scottish stereotype alive.

[The Doctor]

I will join you in this mighty crusade.

That's all we need(!)

No heckling of the guests either. Oh, wait, that was Marc!!

If I'm thinking of the right Hitman/Preacher/Punisher artist in John McCrea that's really cool to get him.

[Deleted]

Yup, that's the same guy!

Still waiting for the BBC to confirm what they're actually doing although even if the TV people DON'T bother (as they were only provisionally looking at it) there ARE definitely going to be three people there from the Beeb including the guy who did the feature for the Beeb website so expect to get photographed and caught! lol

If they do bring along the TV camera's and I'm caught on film it'll be the first time I've been on TV since I was 8.
