This weekend in Rockville, the place to go you wanted to if you needed to get your sci-fi convention fix was a small, unique entertaining convention. This convention had it all: voice-over actors, a Constable from DS9, a director of a cult classic mid 90’s film, a 80’s music pioneer who is now a Professor at Johns Hopkins University & a companion who done her fair share of traveling in the TARDIS. This wonderful convention was Intervention7.
