Florida Supercon is going to have a nice group of Doctor Who guests this year: Peter Capaldi, John Barrowman, and Karen Gillan. There'll be some good Star Trek guests, and other interesting guests, as well. I bought tickets ages ago, when I heard John Barrowman was going to be there. Peter Capaldi and Karen Gillan were announced much later (and she's been here multiple times in the past). It used to be at a convention center walking distance from my house, but they moved it to Fort Lauderdale this year, so I got a hotel room. floridasupercon.com/

Ask about Big Finish and the 12th Doctor. Over and over again. And maybe again.

Ask about Big Finish and the 12th Doctor. Over and over again. And maybe again. Too many people in the line for questions. They'll never get to my question. I'll try to ask when I have my photo op later today

I put in a plug, too, when I saw him for about two seconds for a photo op.

I put in a plug, too, when I saw him for about two seconds for a photo op. As much as I want 12th Doctor audios to happen (and I'm sure Capaldi appreciates how keen/supportive the fans are for these to happen) there's probably a small thespian part of him that's annoyed people are already talking about his return rather than being excited about his performance in the Xmas special

He didn't seem the least bit annoyed. I think he already finished filming.

My photo op with Peter Capaldi. I asked him if he wanted to do something with the scarf and he said, "No. Tom Baker doesn't like it." Never mind that I've done stuff with the scarf with other Doctor Who stars (note my current profile pic with Alex Kingston and my previous profile pic with Paul McGann). I'm the one in the scarf, obviously.

Photo op with John De Lancie (Q from Star Trek). He said, "Stand here", put his hands on my shoulders, and had the photo taken in that position. That seemed to be his standard pose for most of his photo ops. During his Q&A session, he dismissed the moderator who introduced him and took questions on his own. Interesting guy. I have several more photos with celebrities, but they are tableside selfies that I haven't uploaded yet. Stay tuned!

More photos from Supercon: Photo with Armin Shimerman (Quark from Star Trek). Photo with LeVar Burton, who was Geordi La Forge on Star Trek and is also known for the children's program A Reading Rainbow. Armin Shimerman, again, with my friend. He's an interesting guy to chat with. Adam Nimoy and me with a shirt that says "Dance Well and Prosper". I didn't get the hand sign quite right, but I promise I can do it.

I still love Roddenberry's concept for LaForge. A blind man piloting a spaceship through the stars.
