Denise Nickerson, Lisa Richards, Terry Crawford, Diana Millay (although the latter would not be likely due to poor health).

Yes, all the DS folks are so personable. I never got to meet Diana, as I did not start attending Fests until around 2007 I think. I wish I could meet some of the Big Finish DS folks--Stephanie Ellyne, Jonathon Marx, Alec Newman, Matthew Waterhouse, Ryan Wichert, Alexandra Donnachie, Wally Hamonde, Scott Haran, Colin Baker, Arthur Darvill, Lizzie Hopley, Ursula Burton, Jamison Selby, Lachele Carl, Michael Shon, Daniel Collard, James Unsworth, Cody Schell, Rob Morris, Aaron Lamont, Will Howells, Mark Passmore, Nev Fountain, Scott Handcock, Sean McGhee, Robert Dick, Penelope Faith, Roy Gill, Alan Flanagan, James Goss, Joe Lidster, David Darlington....that would be wonderful, even to have two or three of the above.
I don't want too much, do I? I also know I've forgotten many....my apologies. I do love you all!
Well, I HAVE met Stuart Manning, and from the forum fan side, Joe Hart....and they are both lovely gentlemen. It's the one aspect of the Fests that is really missing, because I'm SUCH a fan of BF. I wish there was more of a focus on these--the BEST of DS from the PRESENT! So, instead, I strike up long, detailed, sometimes passionate discussions with fellow DS fans about the audios! Some of those conversations have lasted hours, and they have been the best times. I spoke with a new friend at Collinwood in October at length...we found a quiet nook, the music room, near the fireplace and some lovely sofas and she told me which audios she's heard and I told her which ones she MUST get. I like to think I'm on the "volunteer U.S. promotions team" because I know my love for the range has brought new listeners. It's a labour of love.(spelled with the British spelling intentionally!)

Right - you charter a plane, Tracy, and I'll get everyone on it. (Though I think I've been elevated above my status being included in that list.) One of those you list is New York-based in the first place, though... And a couple of the others America-based at least. Does Jamison Selby not normally do these events then?

I've never seen Jamison at one. If he did come (I assume he was there for "Return to Collinwood"), then it had to be before my time.

I think our best bet for Big Finish writers/staff is to go to a Big Finish convention. I definitely would like to go to one in the UK one of these days. I have been lucky enough to meet Nev Fountain though who came to the Doctor Who convention I go to in Long Island. I keep asking for more Big Finish guests. Nick Briggs is coming this year so that is start but I am greedy and want more. We actually have a lot of Big Finish focused panels.

Hmmm... not being affiliated with BF (other than being one of their most ardent fans with EVERY DS audio to date...and BF classics, and Dorian Gray, and Survivors, and Drama Showcase....) do you think they would WANT me? If Robert attends, he seems like the most likely candidate to moderate.

At the moment, I'm doing everything I can to be there.
(At the event, I mean, not on stage.)

Evan though I won't be there, I live fairly close. I would love to meet up with you forum folk for a meal or something that weekend. Anyone interested?

I wouldn't be able to meet up for dinner Thursday. I work until 7. But any other evening would work for me. If it doesn't work out, than I hope you all have a great time. To be honest, I wish I could pay a couple of bucks just to get in for the BF panel.

I think tickets are pretty much sold out. Don't quote me.
From a schedule perspective sunday evening could work, as i think things run late on the saturday

Wish I was going to meet some of the lovely people on here but I am going to one too many upcoming cons this year. If I could have registered Online I may have been more tempted.
