Conventions, Improv, and Awards

I realize not everyone is a member of the group on Facebook, but I thought I might share a few items of interest.

Chicago Tardis is next month!!  Steve Pompa is wondering if anyone is interested in carpooling. :)  Check out Chicago Tardis for more information about the convention (and check out the guest list!).  If you are interested in carpooling, check out Steve's thread on the Facebook page.

The Wayward Saints recently performed "Companion Search" at the Grandview Theatre before Doctor Who.  Did you enjoy their performance?  If you did and thought to yourself, 'that might be fun', you're in luck! The Wayward Saints are always looking for new recruits. If you, or someone you know-would like to join them, please send an email to DefensorDecimae[at]gmail[dot]com. :-)

In Who news- An Adventure in Time and Space has been nominated for the International Emmy for a TV movie/mini series!  Fantastic! :-D

December Steering Meeting!

Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a great weekend! Don't forget our December steering meeting will be this Thursday, December 2nd from 7-9pm. It looks like we'll be back at the Giant Eagle Market District at Kingsdale in Upper Arlington. (for directions and contact info, be sure to check the DWC Yahoo list)

Well, last week was Doctor Who's 47th anniversary. Already there are ramblings about how to celebrate the Golden anniversary. BBC News just published an article this morning-apparently Sylvester McCoy would be very interested in returning for a multi-doctor episode for the big 5-0. Why not? They did one for the 10th and 25th anniversaries. Personally, I would love to see Paul McGann as well. :) What are your thoughts?

Hope to see you on Thursday!

Oh! Just a reminder-for anyone who went to Chicago Tardis this past weekend-if you took any pictures that you would like to share on this blog, please contact me! Thanks!!

Chicago Tardis 2010

Howdy, folks! Just want to say Happy (slightly belated) Birthday, Doctor Who! ;) Wow, 47 years-the big Five-O is just around the corner!

Anyone heading to Chicago Tardis this year? If you are, and you take some pictures that you wouldn’t mind sharing on this blog, please feel free to send me a few. (send them to romana1[at]gmail[dot]com-or, if you’ve posted them somewhere, and don’t mind me borrowing a couple, send me the link to the album) Thanks!

Whether you’re traveling to Chicago for the convention, or traveling elsewhere to visit family and friends, have a safe and fun trip!!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Chicago Tardis, 2008

Happy Thanksgiving!

Just a quick post-I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving! Be sure to enjoy lots of Doctor Who! (and a happy belated 46th birthday to our favorite show!!!)

For your enjoyment: BabelColour's 45 year tribute!


To those travel over the mountains and through the woods this weekend-safe travels!!!
If your heading to Chicago Tardis-have a great time!!!

Sunday Gathering Update

Hey Folks! We are gathering at Lee's this weekend to watch the latest episode of our favorite show!

The fun starts at 3:00pm, with the main event starting around 6. We will be watching episodes of Doctor Who, Sarah Jane, and possibly the premiere episode of the new K-9 series.

Bring a dish to share, and we hope to see you there! :) (directions can be found in the files section of the DWC Yahoo list)

------------
Don't forget-this Thursday and Friday, the Gift airs on BBC One-the last story for series 3 of the Sarah Jane Adventures!

Chicago Tardis is next weekend!! Sadly, I will not be able to attend this year. :( If you are going, be sure to take lots of pictures to share! :)

December Steering Meeting, plus a couple of notes

Hey everyone!
Don't forget-our monthly steering meeting is tonight! 7-9pm at Tommy's on Lane Avenue.

If you like listening to Doctor Who on the radio, BBC Radio 7 is replaying some of Paul McGann's earlier shows with India Fisher as his companion Charley. (Thanks, Mreen, for the link!) I'm not sure why the site lists Sylvester McCoy and Bonnie Langford as actors, but I think that is in error.

I made it back from Chicago Tardis! I had an awesome time! I've got pictures-hopefully I'll have them posted here before I head up to MN in a couple of weeks. I will post some here, and more in my flickr account (I'll post the link when I've uploaded them.)

Upcoming TV and radio broadcasts

Hey everyone!

First of all, don't forget-tomorrow is the last day you can purchase memberships for Chicago TARDIS at a discount! After the 15th, prices will go up to the 'at-the-door' level. You can purchase memberships online.

The Children in Need special aired today in the U.K.-with a Doctor Who bit! :)

Sunday, the next episode in the Paul McGann radio series airs on Radio 7:
Grand Theft Cosmos
(Special thanks to Mreen for keeping us updated with the radio broadcasts, and reminding us about the Children in Need special!!)

Monday, the next episode of the Sarah Jane Adventures airs in the U.K. on BBC One!
Mark of the Berserker, part 2

Speaking of SJA, Sarah-Jane.tv has an article about the next issue of DWM, #402-featuring Nicholas Courtney and Elisabeth Sladen on the cover. (aww, don't they look cute?) ;)

Speaking of spinoffs-if you were wondering what ever happened to the K-9 spinoff, Sarah-Jane.tv has a brief update about that too.

TAFN

club updates! television! radio!

Well, I must have been half aleep when I wrote my last post (which is odd, because it was during my lunch break, and I didn't receive any snoring complaints from my cowokers... ;) ). I mentioned that the All Saints Day Halloween party was this Saturday, when in fact, it is not. The party is next Saturday, November 1st. Sorry about that!

I knew I forgot something in my last post-if you haven't had a chance to check out the Yahoo list lately, John posted a new poll for those planning on going to Chicago Tardis next month. Need someone to share a room with? Check out the poll!
