With the one month countdown officially begun, here's an article about this London Con, autograph pricing, etc...

An intriguing tweet from Showmasters - the group that helps disseminate info re the Con.

#XFiles prop and costume display coming to this year's #LFCC
10:08am (eastern) - 9 Jun 12

Thanks for the heads up to http://andersondaily.tumblr.com/post/24 ... -2012-news

[LondonLady]

Oh, my gosh! Nicholas Lea and Gillian Anderson and Mitch Pileggi?? I wish that I could go. I haven't seen Nicholas Lea in real life since 2001. I'd also love to see the, "The X Files" props and costumes. I did see many "The X Files" props at the TV Museum in Hollywood, including Mulder's desk, but that was in 2004. *sigh*

BTW, who is Denise Crosby?

[Agent Skulder]

... who is Denise Crosby?

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Den ... n_2003.jpg

Crosby (a great character actor) was a guest star on the eighth season of The X-Files for two episodes, in which she plays a doctor who took examinations of Agent Scully's baby (Empedocles & Essence as Dr Mary Speake).

She's appeared in dozens of series, notably ST:TNG which is why she's in demand at many cons.

Gotta admit - I'd love to be there to see the props and other goodies they may announce during these final 4 weeks. Very exciting!

[Agent Skulder]

Meeting up at LFCC... A couple of the other more active XF boards and FB pages are doing this, so I thought I'd post the idea here.

If there are members interested in meeting other XFU members or fans from around the InterWebs at the London Con, post your screen names in this thread and you can all contact each other via PM...

If anyone's interested in finding a larger group of fans to meet in person, sites to join / view with many attendees include these. (Please add sites I missed to this thread and I'll compile one list):

[Falco]

Me and my brother are going, i'm down for meeting some like minded X-files fans. Count me in.

[GillyDreamer78]

I just received my tickets today.

And Adam Baldwin has been added to the guest list too.
http://www.londonfilmandcomiccon.com/index.php?option=com_flexicontent&view=category&cid=70&Itemid=23

[Agent Skulder]

Congrats!

And thanks for the heads up re Adam Baldwin. He's hitting nearly every major global Con this year...

It seems @Showmasters (via Twitter) & LFCC via FB (http://www.facebook.com/events/132885503473184/) is more current than the LFCC site guest list. For anyone tracking new guests, follow this info for immediate updates.

Current XF Alum attending now include:
Gillian Anderson - JULY 7 ONLY
Mitch Pileggi
Nicholas Lea
Denise Crosby (on FB, not on LFCC site)
Adam Baldwin

[LondonLady]

That's a really impressive list! I wonder whether David Duchovny might decide to attend as well. Has he finished filming the 6th series of, "Californication"?

[Agent Skulder]

Cali is still filming, so it's highly unlikely he'll attend...

Follow the Facebook page & this thread - the fact that they're going to feature PROPS seems to indicate further surprises may be forthcoming.

[LondonLady]

They might use the props to reenact an episode!

[Agent Skulder]

I think it's more likely they'll feature a couple of group XF cast shots with some props, autographed, for sale....

[LondonLady]

Yes, but reenacting an entire episode would be more fun! LOL

[Agent Skulder]

This falls under Confirmation of "non-news" ... but since it's been questioned around the InterWebs:

Frank Spotnitz is NOT planning on attending the Con, per his reply to a BigLight letter June 19, 2012: http://biglight.com/blog/maitreya-vs-scully/

Q: "P.S. On 7th July I’ll attend the London Film & Comic-Con with Gillian, Mitch Pileggi and Nick Lea. Is there a chance you’ll be there too?"

FS: As for London Comic Con, I have no plans to attend currently, but I’ll let you know if that changes.

[LondonLady]

Yes, I read FS's answer. However, it would be wonderful for attendees if he was able to attend after all. It would be a lovely surprise.
