General Info-DWC Activites

First I must apologize for not responding to the comment made in my last post until just now. Blogger used to notify me by email that I had comments on my blog post-and it failed to do so.  I just now noticed it as I was getting ready to write another post.

The commenter asked if they needed to be a part of the Yahoo Group to help with the Grandview cleaning.  Of course not!  We welcome all Doctor Who fans. Your comment came up as anonymous, so whoever you are, I hope you were able to come and help out!

This is a public blog-if events are posted here, any Doctor Who fan can participate-we encourage you to become a member of either the Yahoo Group or the Facebook group, but it is not a requirement. (it does make communication easier, though!) ;)

I hope this information was helpful!

One Day!

One day until Peter Capaldi's debut as Twelve!!  Are you as excited as I am? :-D

Just a few things:

Doctor Who was mentioned on NPR this morning: check it out!

BBC America's Doctor Who takeover continues with a Doctor Who marathon-they are currently into season 6.

At 9 pm tonight debuts a new special: Doctor Who: Earth Conquest  This special follows Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman on Doctor Who: World Tour, which sees them visiting seven cities across five continents in 12 days to publicize the upcoming season.  Woo!  Be sure to check it out-it *may* feature a project I have been a part of for a couple of years now, the Doctor Who Fan Orchestra. (no, I wasn't interviewed-but it's still exciting!) :-D

TOMORROW!  Are you ready?  Don't forget we will be meeting at the Grandview Theatre to help get ready for the premiere event tomorrow night, starting at 10 am. 

The show starts at 8, but be sure to get there early!  Costumes are encouraged! (Be sure to take pictures-I'd love to share some of them on this blog!)

Want to see Doctor Who on the big screen again?  Fathom Events will be showing Deep Breath in theaters around the country Monday, August 25th.  Click here  for details! :)

Doctor Who Cosplay at Bish Bash!

On August 9th, several of our members attended Bish Bash as Doctor Who Cosplayers-check out these photos from Stephen Blanzaco!

Ten, Nine, Romana, and Four hanging with a Jedi.

Twelve also made an appearance! :-D

Looks like good times were had by all!  Check out our Facebook page for more photos of the event!

Some series news:

Rumor has it that the new title credits have been inspired by a fan-made video!  Check out io9's:
This Fan-Made Opening is so Awesome Stephen Moffat Stole It

Is there any truth to this story?  I guess we will find out Saturday!

Curious about all the episode titles for the new series?  We've got them right here.

That's all for now, and remember-3 days to go!

Hello everyone!

Isa and Rick are looking for Doctor Who Cosplayers for BishBash this Saturday, August 9th, from 10:00 am - 3:00 pm at the Westerville Christian Church.  For those not in the know, BishBash is an annual pediatric cancer event in support of the Sam Bish Foundation. 

I hear the Star Wars folks are bringing 10 cosplayers.  Rick says they could an Eleventh Doctor, Rose, the Ponds, or really, anyone else from the show.  He also says he can provide transportation in his Tardis! ;) If you are interested, please contact Isa or Rick.  (Both are on Facebook and post to our Facebook page).
