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 (6
th Doctor) & Sylvester McCoy (7
th 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.
