Timegate dealers

for those of you who are thinking of going to timegate and are trying to budget for it, I thought I would send this along. Acording to the con website Alien Entertainment is going to be there as a vender. Alien entertainment runs "the Doctor who store" and as such will have a lot of merchendise such as the Big Finish Audios. So if yopu are trying to budget take a look at their website and look at some of the things they may have with them. http://www.alienentertainment.com/

Take a look that way you can plan :)

Timegate Comming up, and Connoga thoughts

For those of you interested in TimeGate I thought I would put out a reminder that today April 30 is the last day to get your tickets at 30$ for the weekend. They will go up to $40 at the door(which is still not a bad price!) I'm looking forward to this con and hope some of you can make it. I will be involved with a few panels including topics of "Unmade stories" I will be focusing on the unmade stories from the time of the TV movie, but the panel will focus on many unmade stories through out the life of the classic show and even some stories that were not made in the current show.


Also, for those of you interested, begin to think of topics for connooga panels next year. I would like to have our group RUN the doctor who portion of the con perhaps even having a fan table. So if you are planning on attending begin thinking of things we can do for that con to represent Doctor Who!

Joining us in person

For any of those who would like to join us in our viewing & discussion of episodes send me a personal message & I will give directions to the location, which is in Cleveland. Our group is still in it's early stages & we're still trying to think up a cool(ish) name. We are growing & I am sure that some things may change along the way. For now we are meeting every third Sunday of the month starting at around 4pm. As well as watching episodes we have a few books, magazines, & comics that will also be passed around for any discussion. We are open to any materials pertaining to Doctor Who or even spin offs so if you have something that you want to share with the class, it is most welcome.

Easter Special

Well the Easter special has came and went and I thought I would remind every one that this sunday we will be screening the Easter special. We will also look at another episode, probably the latest Christmas special.

I have already cheated and watched the special but alas I will not ruin it for you all. Looking forward to seeing you all on Sunday.
