I've actually no idea why Ben was laughing - I did get a few seconds more than most with him because I had to get him to do another photo before mine holding a birthday greeting for a friend who couldn't be there, so maybe that loosened him up a bit!

It was nothing like an SPN con - it was more focussed on the treadmill of photos and autos and we must have spent at least 80% of the time queuing for one or the other. I only saw 2 stage talks on the first day and 3 and a half on the second day. The fans though - pretty much the same kind of people as SPN fans! All very friendly and chatty in the queues, happy to be there dressing up and geeking out.
