There's a certain irony that I paid the extra fee for a very nice assigned seat, which I have sat in exactly once this con. What panels I made yesterday, I was slumping in the back row for a quick escape.
Bits I should have put in earlier editions:
India Fisher was wearing an op-art 60s-style dress for opening ceremonies; K, a regular congoer, asked her if Colin Baker had given it to her. She claimed to be furious... but repeated the joke several times.
In the first Big Finish panel, Nick Briggs was talking about his gut reaction to spiders - "it's them or me" and how he wants to write a monster that kills humans not out of evil, but a simple gut disgust of them the way he reacts to spiders.
The only panel I was on on Saturday was ( Women of the RTD era. )
I slept through the Paul McGann movie panel, but hear from several sources that he barely remembers it and thus kept his answers to "yes," "no," and "maybe."
Naoko Mori also answered in mostly standard cliches - the actors were a family, John "is a very naughty boy," it was confusing to shoot two episodes at once. Eventually she told some new stories - that she was so ignorant of Doctor Who that she'd tried to look up the word TARDIS in the dictionary and then called her agent, who laughed so hard at her he put the phone down and she had to call back. "I will never work with John Barrowman again because I always end up dying in his arms." (Her other Barrowman quote was "Caring, fun, lovely and always takes his clothes off. It's amazing what you get used to.")
I didn't have the strength to stay through Chicks Dig Time Lords, but I did get to see that there was someone in the audience wearing the costume from the cover.
jigglykat nearly died of delight.
I missed much of the second Big Finish panel because I'd been sleeping, ( but I did make it there. )
I wanted to get a McGann autograph, but when I got there, I didn't even have the strength to stand in line. I'll try again today.
The halftime of the Masquerade, while the judges are judging, is ( a Match Game )
And now, under the cut, 9 pictures from the halls and the masquerade. I didn't get shots of the Labcoat!Martha, Astrid, or the 10th Doctor faceoff (2 Doctors, one with Rose behind him, the other with Orangecoat!Martha and Donna). I do have shots of 10 and Martha; Donna, Jack, and the TARDIS; Reinette; Lady Steampunk (a random hall costume); and UNIT. I also got one shot of the several crowd-pleasing Rose and Martha catfights.
Masquerade awards went to Ten and Orangecoat!Martha, Dalek Woman, the female Five and Two from yesterday's photos and more. (I was, uh, unavailable during much of the awards.)
