Chicago TARDIS... allons-y!

There's one last convention stop for "Indiana Geek" for 2013, and what a finale it is! This is a convention that I am personally excited to be attending, and one of the most anticipated events on my 2013 geek calendar (and I went to San Diego Comic-Con this year!).

I am talking about a mecca for Whovians- Chicago TARDIS (www.chicagotardis.com) held November 29 through December 1.

Hailing from Indiana, I'm fortunate there are plenty of Who social opportunities in the area. We have Who North America (www.whona.com) in Indianapolis, the largest online retailer of Doctor Who merchandise stateside. They also do monthly open house where you can visit their facility and they are very active in area conventions such as Gen-Con. Also, on the last Saturday of each month at Tilt Studios in Indy (tiltstudio.com/indianapolis-in/) they do screenings of classic Doctor Who episodes. Imagine that... being able to see classic Who on the big screen!

Chicago TARDIS is the cream of the crop for midwest-Whovians. It's a three day all-Doctor Who convention located just outside Chicago that is now in it's 13th year. It features a strong list of guests, but none perhaps as exciting as this year's, which will feature THREE former Doctors: Peter Davison (Five), Colin Baker (Six), and Paul McGann (Eight). If you are a fan of Doctor Who, you do NOT want to miss this convention. Coming off the rush of the 50th anniversary episode should make this convention even more fantastic and memorable.

I will be in attendance, and will be posting pictures and reviews. Join me in Chicago in November to celebrate Doctor Who!
