 | BASSENCO's Next Big Adventure
A new Doctor Who convention has been announced: United Fan Con East. Strictly speaking it's not a Doctor Who convention as it has several guests from different SF series, but Liz Sladen (who played Sarah Jane Smith) is supposed to be there. As I am under doctor's orders to relax and unwind more, I have decided that surely I need to go to this convention. I am not a big city person, and I'm terrified of trying to figure my way through Boston. So I suggested to Kevin Parker, former lead man for the Elisabeth Sladen Information Network, that he travel with me on the train. Kevin is planning to attend as well, and he has arranged to have a dealer table. I agreed to help him run it, and he accepted his role as my traveling companion. |
| Kevin has a magnificent evil beard, and everybody knows not to mess with guys who have such good beards. (Think Roger Delgado/The Master, all you WHO fans). Kevin agreed to catch the train just outside of DC and ride up with me. As for the beard, he writes, "Regarding being a bodyguard: when I first grew the beard, one of my coworkers told me that if he worked for airport security and I walked up, he'd just shoot me." Well, luckily for us, Kevin, we're going by train, and Amtrak has almost no security guards. There now, don't you feel better? Kevin has some fanzines and newsletters to sell from the Elisabeth Sladen Information Network, and I will be helping him. |  |
