First is big news for the Five and Dime Fangirls – we are going to be showing our first Who Crack Video Track at the Time Meddlers meeting at the LASFS this coming Sunday, June 17. It will show in the afternoon, sometime after 12:00 noon and is the perfect 1-hour of Doctor Who music videos, archaic Dalek t.v. commercials and hilarious interview goodness for the newbie to the genre and the old hand who loves classic episodes. If you’re local, DON’T MISS IT!

Goodnight Pond

We’ve caught wind that there is going to be a release of a sweet, new bedtime story book called, Goodnight Pond. Due out later this month, if it lives up to its cover and the theme of the story that inspired it, it will be an adorable book for WhoFans of any and all ages. Sign up on their mailing list here.

Hanging on for the next Gally

We on Twitter’s #gally hashtag always talk about how great this year’s Gally was and count the days to the next one. It’s hard to keep things alive between Gallys, especially when we have months until the next episode. Things that help are reviews of the last Gallifrey, even better when they include pics AND pics we didn’t catch in other reviews. This breakdown of praedestinatio’s LiveJournal’s Gally days experience helps keep the Gally withdrawl blues away. Thank you, praedestinatio!

That’s it for now. Check back next Tuesday for more Who news to keep us all alive until the new series premieres!

Who Crack Video Track 2.0

It’s DONE! Our second annual Who Crack Video Track of Doctor Who music videos, fanvids and general YouTube nonsense is ready for tomorrow’s world premiere at Gallifrey One! We will be in the Scottsdale Room at 12:30 p.m….and…

I am actually seriously thinking that since we will be the first panel in there, we will be getting there as early as we can and POSSIBLY airing something special before the panel starts.

Last year’s video track?

Videos that didn’t make it in but are still kick-ass?

Maybe. You’ll have to come and see. We will let you know what’s happening via Twitter, so stick close to your feed.

Gallifrey in 4 days! Five and Dime doesn't forget Torchwood

Posted on by Posted in Doctor Who, Doctor Who Videos, Five and Dime Fangirls

Torchwood would like to remind you that the Five & Dime Fangirls have not forgotten to pay tribute to their legacy and contribute to the Doctor Who universe. It took a lot of looking to find something PG rated amongst the offerings on YouTube, but we think we have something you can at least take your teenagers to see…unless you are squeamish about Jack getting a bullet to the head, him and Ianto kissing or aliens being disintegrated. If you are, you probably aren’t a Torchwood fan in the first place.

Gallifrey in 5 days! Five and Dime insanity update

Posted on by Posted in Doctor Who, Five and Dime Fangirls, Gallifrey One

So “Dime” is over last night. (Dime is my Tennant-fan partner in this video project). She reminds me I need to Tweet these bloody updates. Crap. Completely forgot about Twitter and that’s where all the chatter about Gallifrey is right now. DUH! So this morning, even before I shower, I jump into photoshop and crank out some kick-ass background wallpaper to slap up. Everything matches now…I’m seeing our “boys” on my desktop and on practically every site I own – which is never a bad thing.

Now it’s down to the little things…fighting to stay healthy right up to and through the convention. Pinning my hopes on probiotics and Thieves Oil and so far, so good.  Costumes…costumes? If I am working in the green room around people I respect and admire, do I want to risk looking like a geek? Depends on the costume, of course. Something slightly lower key…nicely done, not too scary. Oh man, do I even have time for this??? Probably not, but then who does when you work full-time? I’ll draw from a quote from the Big Finish CD “The Eternal Summer” and remember, “you gotta make an effort, don’t you?”.

Gallifrey – 8 days and counting – Five & Dime updates

Posted on by Posted in Creative Madness, Doctor Who, Five and Dime Fangirls, Gallifrey One

Ribbons have been ordered and there is a possibility the video will have an encore showing in the main ballroom sometime later in the weekend after our Friday morning premiere. This is in addition to the showing in Erin’s room.

Gallifrey – 9 days and counting – 5 & Dime update!

Posted on by Posted in Creative Madness, Doctor Who, Doctor Who Wallpapers and Icons, Five and Dime Fangirls

Updates are going to come thick and fast now for our premiere video. I am toying with the idea of a phone app and desktop wallpaper and icons. I go with my strengths and the ‘paper and icons, once difficult to do, are now fun side-projects.

Promotion has launched full scale for The Five and Dime fangirls…I’ve shown a teaser to my coworkers and they’re not even going to the convention! Shows you how devoted (or insane) to the cause I am. I hovered over Dennis last night while he tackled Facebook for the first time in a year and a half, showing him how to “like” our posts, then I went in search of new venues to blitz. Gallifrey Base forums, here I come.

Oh, and I have orderded a little goodie for people that show up to our panel at Gallifrey. Keeping my fingers crossed that it’ll show up in time for the convention.
