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.

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

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.

Those conventions are lots of fun. Went to a Trek one years ago.

Not Dr Who, but I got the reference.

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! :D

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!
