Gallifrey One 2014

http://www.gallifreyone.com

Registration went on sale today for Gallifrey One, the annual pilgrimage to Los Angeles for Doctor Who fans.  After attending the past two years, for a few seconds I actually considered not going.  It had nothing to do with the convention or the incredible friends I've met.  I actually thought for a very brief second that perhaps there was something else I would want to do next year in mid-February.  As the minutes grew closer to when the tickets went on sale, I grew more and more sure that the only place I wanted to be in February 2014 was at LobbyCon with my people.  It's all about Doctor Who and also has absolutely nothing to do with the show.  Not sure if that makes any sense to anyone else, but it was perfectly clear that I was going to get that registration today

Gallifrey One 2013

So, just wanted to say that if ever you have the opportunity or desire to attend GallifreyOne in Los Angeles, do it. I am fortunate that this was my second year in a row going, and I am already excited about 2014. I say this not to boast or gloat, but to encourage any fans of Doctor Who to go.

It is such a great feeling being surrounded by so many creative and passionate people who are not only welcoming, but also share your love for the show. If your fandom takes you into cosplay, costuming, fan fiction, podcasting, collecting merchandise, comics, legos or WHATEVER (Barbie Doctor Who fans, who knew?), it’s there.

Most important, I’ve met some incredible people that I truly consider friends. Now that I've had time to recover from it all, I just wanted to say thank you and I hope to see you next year if not sooner.

Gallifrey One's Network 23 Postcard

Look what arrived in the mail!  Gallifrey One's Network 23 postcard.

Gallifrey One

Just got my GallifreyOne postcard in. Love the tardis blue!

I’m actually going to do it.   I missed out on 2011 due to crazy neurotic circumstances which in hindsight, were completely silly.   But for 2012, I’m going.   It will be my first Doctor Who convention since I was a teenage, and I am so looking forward it.   I have the postcard on my desk at work, which is the only thing helping me make it through stressful days.
