Being a Time Lord gets you chicks!
Aside from the obvious reason of seeing Wendy, I wish I could go to
Boston this weekend to attend the Time Traveler Convention at MIT
taking place at 8:00 p.m. this Saturday.
Although the convention site makes a reference to a clever line by “Cat” from the webcomic Cat and Girl…
“Technically, you would need only one time traveller convention.” Click the picture to see the whole comic.
…there has already been one. Back in the late eighties, Spy
magazine put out an open invitation to time travellers to meet at their
offices for cocktails. Presumably, no chronal cruisers showed up.
Although I can’t attend — and neither can anyone who hasn’t RSVP’d
yet; the event is booked solid by people from the present — I’d like
to contribute by offering these two time-travel themed MP3s. Enjoy!
- Doctorin’ the Tardis by The Timelords (who were really The KLF under another name). A proto-mash-up of the Doctor Who theme with Gary Glitter’s Rock and Roll, Part 2. [7.2 MB MP3]
- Dr. Qui by musical comedian/comedic musician Bill Bailey. In this track Bill performs the Doctor Who
theme as Serge Gainsbourg would’ve done it. It helps if you know a
little French and are a little familiar with Serge’s work. [6.6 MB MP3]

It’s really quite simple: You just go back in time to before the session was sold out and book your seat! Might as well take in the Spy Mag thing since you’re out time cruisin anyway.
And if you can’t do either, then why would you be wanting to attend a time traveller convention? To gawk? Really!
Mind you, the more I think about it, the more I think my idea may not work: If you’ve seen The Curse of Fatal Death (w/Rowan Atkins as the Dr), you’ll realize the ticket pre-grabbing and organizer-bribing escapades will quickly escalate into an absurd gate-crashing.
I’d never heard the Dr. Qui before. Wonderful! Thanks for sharing.
