Hello Con Maniacs,

    I am happy to announce the addition of Colin Baker, the 6th Doctor as a guest at Look Whos Talking by www.firstcontactconventions.com

    Colin Baker was a very colorful change after the somewhat more reserved Peter Davison. Not too mention the very colorful coat Colin wore as the Doctor. It was like Joseph and his Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

    I am sure by now you are all well aware of my love for Doctor Who. I can basically gage my childhood by which Doctor was around at the time. Me and my friends used to play Dr. Who. Of course everyone wanted to be the Doctor. Although it was always fun to be the Master…This is the Master I loved!

    I would love to hear what you think of Dr. Who, you can reach me at Magid@raybin.com and remember if you would like a specific event featured in detail here please contact the show promoters and let them know.

    Time to go watch all the Dr. Who episode I tivod over the New Year…Maybe play with my Tardis too :-)

Hello Con Maniacs,

    I hope your countdown to Christmas is going well. Continuing my coverage of Australian conventions. Upcoming in Melbourne at the Rydges Melbourne, 186 Exhibition Street, Melbourne, VIC on January 30, 2011 is Oz Trek 4.

   Headlining this event is Brent Spiner who portrayed the Android Data in Star Trek: Next Generation.

    Next up from one of my favorite Treks is Ethan Phillips who portrayed Neelix in Star Trek: Voyager.

    Also appearing is Hallie Todd who was Data’s short lived daughter Lal. Kind of a sad character.

    I love Brent, not only is he a wonderful actor but he has a singular wit that is pleasure to see. Ethan is hilarious. I have seen the skit he and Robert Picardo do and they are fantastic. Neelix was one of my favorite character on Voyager. Watching him slowly make Tuvok a bit more human until he finally “danced” for Neelix on his farewell episode brought tears to my eyes. Hallie Todd gave a very touching performance on Next Generation. It was very touching.

    Personally I love Melbourne. The trams are reminiscent of San Francisco. I used to have a very dear friend who lived there. If your attending this event please let me know at Magid@raybin.com

    Well folks, 10 days and counting until Santa Claus squeezes himself down your chimney, or surfs up to your house(depending on what part of the world your in) try to enjoy and take a deep breath and enjoy this time of year. To those of you who are maybe alone or having a tough time please know that you can always chat to me. Here is my Facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/MagidHarbison

    Keep your shields up and phasers on stun…
