A quick word!

Hi all,

Just a quick note from your friendly editor. :) I will be on vacation starting tomorrow, so there might not be another update until after Christmas. I'm hoping I'll have the chance to update the blog during that time, but when you're staying at a house with 4 kids and 3 dogs, things can get a little crazy (especially with Christmas only being a week away...)

Don't forget!! Voyage of the Damned airs Christmas Day!
Don't let crazy Doctor Who rumors get the better of you! ;)
Watch out for Cyberman, Daleks, etc...
Oh, and for Pete's sake, don't let another ship crash into your TARDIS!! LOL. :-D

Happy Holidays, everyone!!!

DWC December Meeting

Hey All! This Saturday, December 15th, is our monthly meeting with Andrew as our host from 6:30-10:30pm. (Directions to Andrew's can be found in the DWC files section).

Join us for fun and new adventures with Sarah Jane. With just a week to go before the next Doctor Who episode Sarah Jane will still be undercover searching for answers. We will also be showing some teasers for the Christmas Doctor Who, and new season of Torchwood. We also may celebrate the season with the original Sarah Adventure: K-9 and Company. Bring your thinking caps because we will also spend some time looking for questions for Doctor Who Jeopardy.

Don't forget to go vote in the latest poll to let Andrew know you are coming!!! Thanks!!!

Hope to see you Saturday!
