I am considering attending Tardis 22 in Chicago. Being relatively new to the Dr. Who scene, I would like to find out more about what is happening which days, and what to expect. Does anyone have a schedule of special happenings/events that will be occuring at Tardis 22 ? Kirk Smith Purdue

Sorry, no actual information here. That probably won't be
available until the convention opens. However, the things
that were available last year include :
Continuous videos: several episodes of each of the
doctors. This year I expect some Blakes-7
episodes as well.
Nightly cabaret's featuring most of the guests
performing. Seats are limited, and likely
sold out by now.
"Lunch with the stars: - daily, limited to about
100 seats.
Several simultaneous "tracked" panels. Each panel
will have 5 to 7 guests fielding questions
from the audience. "Tracked" means the panel
is run several times, and you are given a
color-code indicating which time you are
allowed in.
Vendors area. A large room with dozens of booths
selling Dr Who merchandise. Everything from
books to T-shirts to buttons to mini-Daleks.
Costume contest. I don't know what prizes are awarded,
but I believe there are several categories to
compete in. E.G. best doctor, best companion.
There's probably more, but I've forgotten from last year.
