hurrah technology! i can't be at the gallifrey one con this weekend but elyssadc can! so were just talking on the phone as she wandered about and so i got vicarious run-ins with: taraljc, frazer hines, and colin baker, hurrah! the latter was apparently lifting boxes in a manly fashion. why they're having one of their top-billed guests lift boxes of merchandise i don't know.

technology is also good for getting texts during torchwood panels: "This is nothing but porn porn porn". i am assuming TW fans were probably having seizues of glee when the panel with gareth david-lloyd and kai owen was suddenly interruted by the unexpected appearance of naoko mori.

pia guerra is a guest too! i would like to meet her and inspect her artistically gifted hands.

Chicago TARDIS 2008
The Field Report!

GOD DAMN THAT WAS AN AWESOME CON. so many thanks to the organisers (like the wonderful renn) for making chicago TARDIS one of the best cons around. SO AWESOME GUYS, YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

i don't know if i can pick out any one bit as being the most awesome, but probably my greatest acheivement was on friday night. nick had just got in for opening ceremonies and told everyone to excuse his appearance because he had a bruise on his head from running into a door in the dark (bless). i saw nick in the lobby, he said "hi!" (because he must have remembered me making inappropriate interjections into his panels last year), and i said, "hi!" and then we hugged and as we were hugging i said, "oh hey, nick, i'm sorry about your FACE."

WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN THAT, EH?

anyway, chronological tiem!

Chicago TARDIS 2007
The Field Report!

this weekend was another reminder of why i really need to get a digital camera, if only so i could have taken a picture of nicholas briggs playing with a remote control dalek in the dealer's room. it was a beautiful sight, truly. especially when it wasn't working correctly and he tried shaking the control about with some amount of violence. but in the absence of .imgs i can impart .infos.

sos i shall!

actually, while nick briggs was playing (or attempting to play) with the dalek and getting it to shout EXTERMINATE! (it was rather noisy in the dealer's room) i asked him if he was playing with a toy of his own voice and he said,"No, these are from the movies. These are the daleks that I try to be as good as." one more reason that i need to see those, apart from peter cushing's moustache.

SO:
