Marcon 49!

Hello everyone!

Marcon is only a day away!  I was glancing through the Pocket Program and thought I would mention all the Doctor Who-themed panels for the weekend.

Keep in mind, times and dates may change!  Because I'm not 100% sure of the availability of the net at the hotel, I'm not sure if I will get to update you through this blog of any last-minute changes.

Friday
7:00 pm - Morrow - Do You Doctor Who
A make and take panel of things related to Doctor Who and round-table discussion of what we like/don't like about Doctor Who.

8:30 pm - Knox - Doctor Whose Line Is It Anyway?
The Confused Greenies of Players' Patchwork Theatre Company return for more sci-fi themed improv games hosted by Dalek Skarino!  The points don't matter-but the losers might get exterminated!

10:00 pm - Madison - How I Met Your Doctor
How did you end up succumbing to the lure of Doctor Who?  Which Doctor was your gateway?

Saturday
10:00 am - Union B - Doctor Who for a New (Re)Generation
Doctor Who is fifty years old, but has an increasing number of young fans all over the world who show their love by doing everything from wearing bow ties and ticking of sightings of the Silence, to tattoos and custom painted Converse shoes.  What is it that's drawing interest of folks who hadn't even been born yet when the show went on hiatus in the late '80s: the stories, the stars,  cable availability of the show, the hint of romance> or something else entirely?

11:30 am - Marion - Dottore Who & the Convenient Plot Device
The foolish denizens of Planet R-L-Kwin have modeled their society after zany comedic theatre.  But when their convoluted storylines fail to resolve, it means the Convenient Plot Device has been stolen!  Luckily Dottore Who is about to crashland on R-L-Kwin... how convenient is that?

Sunday
1:00 pm - Union B - The Companions of Doctor Who
In fifty years of television, the Doctor has almost never traveled alone.  His companions have served as avatars for the viewers, allowing the Doctor to remain slightly inscrutable while maintaining a connection to us.  Which companions have best fulfilled this role?

I think that's it-if you know of anything that is missing, please feel free to contact me or leave a comment. 

Hope to see you at Marcon this weekend!
