Every year in Los Angeles, there is a Doctor Who convention called Gallifrey One and we decided last summer to go (actually it was April or May). The convention has a bunch of cast members (from classic and new Who) who sit on panels, get interviewed, and even attend receptions where you get to meet them in a smaller setting.
About 3700 people attend (apparently this is a small number compared to other SciFi type conventions). They come from all over the US and Canada. They dress in regular clothes and in costume. Here are a few of the costumes. For those of you who know Doctor Who I'm sure the costumes are familiar and need no captions. For those of you who don't know, I don't imagine you care, but I'm putting the captions anyway.
Queen Elizabeth I (using her ipad)
Clara in the TARDIS
Amy and her centurion..
U.N.I.T.
A Dalek.
Madame de Pompadour
The back of the T.A.R.D.I.S.
Me and Nevada in the TARDIS.
The crack in the wall
K-9 (or a couple of K-9s)
Anyway, it was a good time and I am already thinking ahead for next year's costumes ...

Fun what's your costume?
I didn't know what Tardis was until another blogger friend told me last year. I still haven't watched a single episode of Dr. Who. Maybe this summer...
Looks like lots of fun. I've not watched Dr. Who since college I think. I just haven't been able to find time to get hooked again.
Someday I need to see this show. From what I've heard this is right up my line of interest.
