And now the conclusion
(Re) Generation Who Revue Part 2
Next, I visited the Dealers Room which had some amazing items. In addition to the usual t-shirts and BBC licensed souvenirs were some wonderful art pieces as well. My favorite was definitely the Doctor Who Leather Journals crafted by Danielle Gunter at Red Falcon. I was also very impressed by the artist Kelsey Wailes who created the beautiful drawing of Tom Baker (which was for sale with his autograph), along with one of the Convention t-shirts.

(Re) Generation Who Revue Part 1
I was flattered to be asked to review the new Doctor Who Convention, (Re) Generation Who from March 27-29, 2015 in Hunt Valley, MD. I have been teased by friends that I am quite the “con-noisseur”, which deemed me to be perfect for this assignment. I have attended many Doctor Who Conventions over the years including all of the Chicago TARDIS conventions, most of the Gallifrey One Conventions, several Visions Conventions and even a Doctor Who convention in London and Massachusetts. (Amongst other non-Who related Cons as well). Therefore, I took my assignment very seriously.
