The 50th Celebration Continues!

Boy, Saturday sure was exciting, wasn't it?! I'm still grinning like a kid.  I'm going to wait on writing a review for a few of days, to give folks who might have missed The Day of the Doctor a chance to watch it before I post any potential spoilers.

Speaking of folks who haven't seen it yet, or those who want to see it again-join us tonight at AMC Lennox at 7:30 pm or 10 pm for the 3-D showing of The Day of the Doctor!  If you're not in the area,  check for listings here!

If you're a fan of GetGlue, you probably noticed that the site seemed to crash at different points during the weekend.  Apparently Whovians overloaded their servers! ;) There were quite a lot of stickers to be had. I myself managed to collect 32 over the last week (20 over the weekend alone)-and I know I missed quite a few!

Speaking of GetGlue-check out this gem that was found:
Day of the Doctor Sets World Record

Steven Moffat was presented with the Guinness World Record for the largest ever simulcast of a TV drama!  The Day of the Doctor was broadcast in 94 countries across the world.  Holy cow!!!  Way to go, Moffat!! (Special thanks to AT&T for sponsoring the episode on BBC America during the first showing-which allowed it to be broadcast commercial free!)

Our "little" shin-dig made the Columbus Dispatch!
'Dr. Who' fans Celebrate Sci-Fi Show's 50th Birthday
Fans say 'Doctor Who' Still a Trip at 50!
(thank you, Mark Williams, for the coverage!)

Set aside 30 minutes to watch The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot, a short written by Peter Davison featuring himself, Colin Baker, and Sylvester McCoy in their own hilarious tribute to the 50th Anniversary special.  OMG! :-D
