(Re)Generation Who 2015 Review

This past weekend I was able to attend the first ever (Re)Generation Who Convention just outside Baltimore, Maryland at the Hunt Valley Inn.  This 3 day Dr Who Con, featured a wide range of guests, performers, vendors and programming. Now realize that when I review a Con, I can only judge it from my perspective and everyone’s perspective is different at a show.  I like to give my fans a little taste of what I witnessed and experience at the Con. I like to break my review down into Guests, Performers, Programing, Vendors and overall feel. One should remember that this was a first year Con and I will take that in consideration for my overall grade.


Guests:

(Re)Generation Who had  a strong and diverse guest list for their first year. Colin Baker (6th Doctor) & Sylvester McCoy  (7th Doctor) were joined by their companions, Nicola Bryant (Peri Brown) and Sophie Aldred (Ace).  It’s a luxury for a first year Con to have not 1 but 2 Doctors roaming the halls. I was even lucky enough to have my hotel room right beside Colin Baker’s suite. Hopefully I did not keep him up with my snoring. These 4 actors are regulars on the Dr Who Convention circuit. One of the reasons that they are regulars is because that they are very energetic and very entertaining.  Their appeared to be ample time to get an autograph and picture of your favorite guest. My only recommendation is that it would be nice if the times the guests were signing were posted. They would make announcements after panels in the main hall, but if you weren’t in those panels, then it was a crap shoot to figure out when your favorite actor would be signing autographs.
