Baltimore
Heading to Baltimore the end of March. Dr Who convention. Clovispup and I went last year and had a great time. All of the guests were classic series actors/actresses. It was great having a chance to see and meet some of the people we felt like we had come to know. Some, like Frazer Hines (Jamie), were a hoot.
Highlights this year are Sylvester McCoy (7th Doctor), Katy Manning (Jo Grant), and Karen Gillian (Amy Pond). We're hoping they add a few more classic folks.

Re: Baltimore
That sounds like a fun event. I wouldn't mind attending a Trek convention. I hope you enjoy it as much as last year.

Re: Baltimore
It can be a little geeky, but we are really big fans of Dr Who, so it was lots of fun.
After the con was over, I went down to the lobby for something. I saw one of the actresses from the second Doctor (aired late 60s). She was obviously waiting for transportation. I went over to quickly thank her for the great time we all had. She spent about 5 to 10 minutes talking to me. Very nice, classy lady. Ironically, she said that the American audiences were more polite than British. I would have thought it was the opposite.

Re: Baltimore
I've never actually "got" Dr Who, but I have seen a few clips of the conventions, and they look really brilliant. I hope you have a great day out!

Re: Baltimore
I had seen a little of the classic Dr Who episodes back in the day. I wasn't impressed. My daughter got hooked on the newer episodes that started in 2005. I started watching them with her. The format and production values were completely different. I got hooked, and then we became interested in the classic episodes. We actually prefer many of the older shows, cheesy special effects and all.

Re: Baltimore
Baltimore is getting big into these kinds of events.
A couple of years ago they started hosting the "Bronies". Grown men into "My little pony"!? Now that one I don't get!!!!!!!!!!!
