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.

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.
