Well, another Gallifrey convention has come and gone. For me, it was one of the very best. I got to spend a lot of time working, chatting with new people, conducting interviews, and doing panels. I also got to shill for Big Finish some more (always a fun activity), and ate way too much food. As usual, I also took some photos! So here we go!
First off, these are some pics of the General Patton Museum. No word on the location of the Specific Patton Museum.
So there’s that. Then the convention itself! First off, envy my view from the hotel room.
We had the usual cast of daleks this year.
This included at least one civil-minded dalek, selling Girl Scout cookies.
Of course, there were also costumes galore. I only got pics of a couple, but they are neat!
Wait, wait. A male Captain Jack? The hell?
Naturally, I spent too much money on things, including this dandy set.
And what is a convention these days without the TARDIS motorcycle?
I also had more pics of various celebrities, but I’m saving those for when I transcribe my interviews for WhatCulture. In the meantime, enjoy what I have here, and I can’t wait until next year when Colin Baker will be back in town! And I leave you with this:

Love it! Thanks for the photos! if only all Daleks sold girl scout cookies, I’d be a happy Whovian indeed. Did you see any cool Tardis dresses?
perfect timing as well, I started a Who marathon this morning, starting w/9th Doctor.

I did, actually! There were quite a few, and you can see some of them on this post on Toplessrobot.com: http://www.toplessrobot.com/2013/02/top_10_gallifrey_one_daleks_sylvester_mccoy_freema.php

thanks for the link, I’m e-mailing it to a friend of mine who recently discovered Doctor Who and is looking for inspiration for a Tardis dress. Freema Agyeman is just amazing, I adore her (although episode wise, Donna is my favorite companion!) 3000 people? that’s a ton! i’m used to the smaller cons, like 700 or less.

The Dalek was selling superior Girl Scout cookies containing only fresh girl scouts: not canned, frozen or dried. Fresh as the day they were exterminated.
