Gallifrey anticipation: Wholock edition

Gallifrey One is coming up this weekend!  I am bursting with excitement at getting to spend all weekend with fantastic Whovians.  One of the fun traditions at the con is giving or trading ribbons with slogans that people hang from their con badges (frequently in long trains).  This year I've ordered a stack of my own for a bit of fandom collision.



I'm very pleased with my shock blanket orange "I believe in Sherlock Holmes" ribbons.  The samples are posed with Jack Harkness, my copy of the canon Holmes stories (plus Chicks Dig Timelords and other contents of my bookshelf), and the sonic screwdriver.  Because if I'm going to do something quite as ridiculous as taking a photo of the ribbons I'm taking to a con, I'm going to go all the way with geekiness in the photo.

And that's the proper way to go! I was just about to comment on the awesomeness of all the geekiness of the pic before I read the comment bellow. So, yay for geekiness!

And the shade of orange is just perfect!

Also, The Time Traveler's Wife! Love that one! I haven't read Chicks Dig Time Lords. Is it good?

Have fun this weekend! And please do report about it once you're back :)

I'm glad you approve of the mega-geeky photo. :)

Chicks Dig Time Lords is great! It's a collection of essays about the experience of being a female Doctor Who fan. As in any essay collection, some pieces are better than others, and some of the "how I found Doctor Who" stories are a bit repetitive. However, they're all fun and a few essays are outstanding. There's even a comic by the creators of Torchwood Babiez.

Don't worry, I'll report back.
