May 3rd, 2012.
As filming for New DW continues:
1 day before The US Debut of THE AVENGERS;
2 days before FREE COMIC BOOK DAY;
And a slow-but-steady catch up...
From January 2012:
To celebrate the 2011 DW Xmas Special,
Christopher Leavy recorded our "Cracking Good Time" ;-)
[5/3] - GOG and Friends will be all over the varied Shops celebrating FREE COMIC BOOK DAY! Look for great deals on Comics, Trades, Collectibles, etc. Not to mention Many a Costumed Citizen and at least one Madman with a Box (that'll be Lewis Bailey and his pride and joy at Longwood's ACME COMICS)! The GOG FACEBOOK page is the place to go for much of the details now and to come!...
[3/29] - Julia's new game, DOCTOR WHO DOMINOES, has made the big time!! Click HERE to read DIARY OF THE DOCTOR WHO ROLE-PLAYING GAMES: ISSUE 16: A most entertaining and thorough e-magazine that features DWD on Page 9!...
[3/26] - Our March Mttg (3/18/2012) had us revisit THE GUNFIGHTERS (Okay, so the volume was down and the English Subtitles were up, lest 'The Ballad of the Last Chance Saloon' set Margo off...), followed by The Davison classic THE AWAKENING, A DVD special feature on the 4th Doctor story CREATURE FROM THE PIT about behind the scenes with Erato (everyone's favorite giant-jello-with-a-rude-looking-psuedopod), and more madness from RADIO DEAD AIR critic Nash, this time dissecting K9 AND COMPANY & ROBOT. And thanks to guests Tim, Hanna and Hunter for stopping by! See us at Julia's for April!
