First of all, welcome Bill, our newest memember from Norton!!! We hope you like it here. :)
Ok, I know I said I'd try to get my pictures posted by the end of the week...but it just didn't happen. New goal: next week! ;)
However, thanks to Carrie and Lee, we have a couple more links of our favorite Weeping Angel!!
And this has got to be one of the best pictures, ever: Angel and baby
It's been quite a busy week for Doctor Who and both of it's spinoffs! Here are a few more news bits:

Marcon, welcome, and some show news
First of all, I'd like to welcome Cindy from Springfield! Welcome, Cindy!!
Next, it was great seeing all of you at Marcon!! Our video room was a success again this year! Special thanks to Andrew, for creating the playlist, Jarrod, for working out the schedule, and to ALL of our volunteers!!! Without you, we couldn't have done it!
Congrats to Betty, for winning the Hall Costume prize-her costume was fantastic! She made a very convincing Angel from Blink-it was fun to listen to the con-goers try to figure out if she was real or not. ;) She was mentioned in this blog, and can be seen in this photo set posted by members of the USS Maximillian.
I'm currently fighting a cold I seem to have picked up, but I hope to post some of my pictures to my flickr account by the end of the week.
(Thanks to Maureen, Andrew, and Lee for the news/links!)
So! If you had been hearing certain rumors regarding our favorite show and it's spinoffs around the con, some of them have been confirmed by being officially announced!
Spoiler phobes, beware the following links:
(btw, they all say pretty much the same thing-just an official announcement, and some fan blog takes)

Spoiler link 2
Spoiler link 3
Spoiler link 4 -with a couple of more links in the post!
TAFN!

Marcon 44!!
Hey everyone! Hope to see you at Marcon tomorrow!!! I'll be around-in the video room, attending panels. Be sure to check out the parody 'Doctorre Who' with the Confused Greenies Saturday evening!! :)
I never did get around to making my Sarah Jane costume from the Hand of Fear, but I did manage to scrape together 2 costumes from the Sarah Jane Adventures-they aren't perfect, but as with all my costumes, I start of basic, and then improve as the cons go by. I may also be totting around my "K-9" (my childhood stuffed dog dressed as K-9) ;)
Look for me! My badge will have 'Romanadvoratrelundar' on it. (I don't remember if I also included 'DWC') I may edit the badge to also say 'Romana1 on Sarah-Jane.tv', (like I should have done at the beginning of Chicago Tardis! )
Before I go, a little bit of random news-the Doctor Who graphic novel, Forgotten ranked within the top 300 graphic novel sales in April! It ranked no. 77! Woo! Click here for full article.
See you at Marcon!!!
