regenerationwho.com/Heard good things about this one from the attendees at Li Who. Unfortunately looks like the Tea with the Doctors & Companions level is already sold out. But they have a lot of good guests scheduled. Most likely won't be going this coming year but I may consider for 2017.

Wow, sounds like a great con. They have some terrific guests. I'm also not going to get there this year, but I will keep it in mind.

Next month! I'm looking forward to it. Anyone here going?
Big Finish guests:
Big Finish Managing Director: Jason Haigh-Ellery
Big Finish Producer/Voice of Daleks, Cybermen, and More: Nick Briggs
Story Writer: Robert Shearman
Story Writer: Nev Fountain
Plus lots of actors ....
I'm hoping to get some signatures from Robert Shearman and Nev Fountain of their Big Finish items. Unfortunately, Nick Briggs is amongst the charge for autographs group so I'll probably have to pass on him.

And talk this place up if you can! |

I wrote to the Big Finish enquiries asking "Is it still only going to be Jason and Nick and no one else from the production team? Is there going to be a table or booth where we can meet them? Are Nev Fountain and Robert Shearman going to be sharing space with them or will they be elsewhere?"
I received the following response: "Thanks for getting in contact. Jason and Nick will indeed be the only members of the production team in attendance at the convention, but they will be available to sing throughout the weekend - I'm afraid I'm not sure of the layout, but I imagine that Robert and Nev will be fairly close to them." He also pointed me to the convention question page for any other questions about such details.
Now, what should I ask Jason and Nick to sing?

Now, what should I ask Jason and Nick to sing? If you're not careful Nick will break into a rendition of The Prisoner . Cheers Tony |

Do you have Light at the End I think that would be pretty nice to get signed. I actually regret not getting it signed by Jason when I met him in 2014. |

Wow look at this adorable shirt for the con. That t-shirt is available at the $60 VIP level add-on. VIP Level 1 ($30) has Special badge, early access to dealer room, special limited edition artwork [the print seen in the twitter post], Invite to a special "Regenerators" party. VIP Level 2 ($60) has all of that plus the limited t-shirt. While it is really tempting, I'm tentatively passing on those. I think folk have until March 4 to register at the VIP levels so they can order the items. |

I knew this would happen. The closer it gets, the more I wish that I was going. But with a Bar Mitzvah to plan for this year, I just can't do it.

Maybe next year but cons do add up. I also get tempted by Chicago Tardis & Gallifrey (well if you can even get tickets to the latter) |

I recently took a look at the yearly credit card statement that has all the purchases summarized. I am tempted to print off the page with Big Finish on it and show that to Jason and Nick. Maybe Nick would give me a free signature on that |

There is too much going on at the same time that I will want to go to. Decisions must be made.
Saturday night the Davros Variety Show is on at the same time as Big Finish: Looking Back at 15 Years. Then on Sunday Big Finish: New Who is up against Sophie Aldred and Nicola Bryant. It looks like it should be a fun weekend.

I had a great time at the convention and I will be posting loads of photos on FB from it. I'll include a link here when they are ready. I went to most of the Big Finish panels and it was great meeting both Nick Briggs and Jason Haigh-Ellery. Roebrt Shearman was amazing at the convention and now that he has finished writing a really long novel he will probably be writing again for Big Finish.
