So we went on the road trip. I was not allowed to drive because I cannot see above the steering wheel and press the gas pedal. Also I have been accused of aggressive driving. We arrived in Chicago just afternoon on Friday I hovered  down and got my badge suddenly I was surrounded by the local talent all taking photos and wanting to be around me.

I got a quite a fan girl gathering, the girl Daleks started fighting each other for my affection. To be honest it was hard to shake these youngsters off but they made me pose for this photo.

"Oh, Mini-Me, you're so dreamy"

 

I went in search of some more macho Daleks to hang out with and I found my cousin from the other side of the family (the side we don’t talk about much). He wanted to take me out for a night out on the town.

Getting advice from big brother

One day when your as big as me your base will glow blue too

Dalek stopped by time lord

You shall not pass

But we bumped into this Time Lord that would not let us pass.

I left Sec and went off on my own.

 

Are you my master

We just got back from a road trip to Chicago.
The trip  felt short, but really geeky, because we were driving to a science fiction convention listing to podcasts about Linux! (Linux Outlaws – the donation will be in the mail soon.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

We went to the Chicago Tardis convention. One of the big guests of honor was Paul McGann aka the 8th Doctor. He seemed very laid back and thoughtful.

As always, there were long queues for photographs with props people had built.

In the main room there was a TARDIS on display and someone’s Dalek. The Dalek was kitted up with practically everything. It actually opened at the front and the shoulders spun 360 degrees. The chap who built it gave a short talk about it in one of the panels (which was so popular that there were people waiting in the room even before the start of the panel). He had fitted the eye stalk with a camera so it was easier to navigate around. Used in-line skate wheels and the shoulders looked to move quite smoothly. The whole thing was maneuverable by a wheel chair cart. He did a great job.
