Hiya folks!
Don't forget this Thursday, May 1st is our monthly steering meeting. We will be at Tommy's on Lane from 7:00-10:00pm.
We will be working on final plans for Marcon, including Video Room schedules and final stuff for the Jeopardy game. We will also be working on advertisments, publicity, flyer drops, and planning our calendar for the upcoming months.
As always, everyone who is interested in contributing to the group is invited to attend.
Hope to see you there!!!

calling all reviewers!
Okay, now that Doctor Who is in full swing here in the States, I was wondering if anyone in DWC would be interesting in writing up short reviews for the episodes for the blog. I am planning on posting my own reviews here, but I'm sure people will get tired of just reading about my own opinions. LOL. ;)
Just a few rules-please, keep them clean! Also-please give spoiler warnings-some folks just don't have a chance to watch the episode right away. I've found myself in that situation many times! ;)
Since the U.S. is only 3 weeks behind the U.K., I will be posting reviews for the episodes after they air on SciFi. If you're interested, send me an email(my email can be found in the DWC Yahoo list-I'll be posting about this there as well) or leave me a note in the comments.
Thanks!

Marathon alert!!! SciFi is having a Doctor Who marathon tomorrow (or rather today? What time is it anyway? ;) ) starting at 8:00am with New Earth and ending at 3pm with the Impossible Planet. Kind of convenient that this particular daily rotation should fall on the same day as the premiere of SJA, huh? ;)
Commentaries!!!
Commentaries for the series 4 Doctor Who episodes are Sundays on BBC 7. However, if you happen to miss one, they are also featured on the Doctor Who site-just check each episode page-you can subscribe to the podcast, or do a one-time download for each epiosde.
Also, by now I'm sure most of you have heard that the commentary track for the last episode of series 3 is different on the Region 1 dvds. Our set has commentary by the producers, whereas the UK set has the original commentary by David Tennant, Freema Agyeman, and John Barrowman. Currently, BBC America is making the original commentary available for download:
http://www.bbcamerica.com/content/123/commentary.jsp It's about a 47MB download. (Thanks Mreen, for the link!!!)
TAFN, happy Who watching!
