Day of the Moon Showing at Grandview

Hey everyone! The lovely folks at the Grandview Theatre will be showing part two of the season premiere, 'Day of the Moon', Saturday night starting at 9pm.

In addition to part 2, they will also be showing the Sarah Jane memorial special.

Admission is free and open to the public. This is also a family-friendly event, so bring the kids! :)

Also, to help them with the costs of losing the ticket sales, we need to be kind and buy our food and drink from the concession stand. They have a full range of fountain drinks, popcorn, candy, and also a large selection of bottled beer and wine to choose from. They also offer pizza, subs, and salads. Check out their website menu for more info. http://www.grandviewtheatre.net

Hope to see you there!

My Sarah Jane...a Tribute to Elisabeth Sladen

If you haven't seen it yet, here is CBBC's special tribute to Elisabeth Sladen. Warning-keep tissues handy.



(special thanks to all the folks who made this viewable for fans outside the U.K.)

Doctor Who series 6 Premiere Party

Don't forget our Doctor Who Premiere party, tomorrow! The party starts at Andrew's, then will move to the Grandview Theatre for the premiere of series 6!

From Andrew:

"The Party at my house will begin at 4pm. We should have snacks and drinks available. We will be showing any relevant news and interviews I can come up with. At the moment that will include 2 or 3 of the Craig Ferguson episodes including tonight's with Karen Gillan. I know I've at least one request to show an introduction to Dr. Who. I have the Doctors/Enemies/Companion specials as well as the pre and post-Eccleston specials, More than 30 Years in the TARDIS and others to chose from. There will also be the Sarah Jane 15 minute special which will certainly be shown too.

For the theater:

Their current movie will be ending at 8:30pm or so, so unfortunately we can't watch all of the pre-episode special being shown on BBC America. However barring accidents we will show the Sarah Jane special before the airing of the episode at 9pm.
After the episode they are going to show a movie again, so if anyone is interested in return to my house for more fun, and viewings they are free to do so."

If you have any questions, contact Andrew (his info is in the DWC Yahoo list).

Hope to see you there!

RIP Elisabeth Sladen

I just heard the news a few hours ago-right now I am at a loss for words.

I will probably be writing up a tribute of my own sometime within the next few days. Andrew is creating a video tribute which he is planning to show during the "Look Behind You!" party on Saturday.

Farwell, Sarah Jane.

April Steering Meeting

Hello everyone!

First, I'd like to apologize for neglecting this blog last month-real life has a habit of becoming so busy, I never have time to post!

Next-our monthly steering meeting is tonight! 7-9pm at the Giant Eagle Market District at Kingsdale.

Marcon is just under two months away!! Although the time to sign up as a staff member has past, if you would still like to help out a Marcon, stop on by!! If you just want to hang out and talk Who that's fine too! That's why we're here! :)

Anyone travel to LA for Gallifrey One in February? Got a story or picture to share? Send me an email and I'll feature it on this blog!

The new season of Doctor Who is just over 2 weeks away! Are you as excited as I am? :)

Hope to see you tonight!!

February Steering Meeting

Hello folks! Weather permitting, we will be having our monthly steering meeting Thursday, February 3rd at the Giant Eagle Market District at Kingsdale, from 7-9 pm.

Marcon will be happening soon, and if you're interested in being part of the Convention, or of the Video Room, then come on by! (if you just want to hang out and talk Who that's fine too!)

Andrew already has most of the video list done, but he is open to suggestions. :)

Speaking of conventions, anyone heading out to Galley this year? The time is almost upon us for Gallifrey 22 in Los Angeles! If you are going and would like to write up something for the blog (before, after, or even during), just send me a note!

Hope to see you tomorrow!

First Steering Meeting of 2011

Happy New Year fellow Whovians!!! How did you like A Christmas Carol?

Just a quick reminder that our first steering meeting of the year will be tomorrow, January 6th from 7-9 pm at the Giant Eagle Market District at Kingsdale.


If you haven't done so already, be sure to check out the recently launched Classic Who YouTube Channel!

Also, it sounds like Craig Ferguson will be airing the special Doctor Who opening he couldn't air originally when Matt Smith was his guest a few weeks ago. Be sure to tune into Craig tomorrow night!

See you then!

Who on the Radio

Have a craving for some Classic Who? Radio 7 is airing a couple of programs this week that just might strike your fancy.

First, Barry Letts reads his autobiography, Who and Me. Doctor Who's TV producer from 1969-74, Barry Letts recounts his early career through to his working life with Jon Pertwee.

Next, Tom Baker reads the serialization of his first story, Robot, in Doctor Who and the Giant Robot.

Both programs are airing back to back, Monday through Friday. Although the first three episodes have already aired, they are available for one week in the Listen Again section. :)

Also, if you just love listening to Tom's voice, be sure to check out Little Britain and Lionel Nimrod's Inexplicable World, also on Radio 7!

Don't forget our December steering meeting is tomorrow night! :)

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!!
