Doctor Who Day
Last weekend I went to the "Doctor who day" in Barcelona. Three months ago, I made a post about the TV show "Doctor who" And I said that I'm a huge fan. I also commented that the show is divided in two parts: from 1963 to 1989 and from 2005 to the present day, so this year is the tenth annyversary of the new series. In Spain, the "Club Català de ciència Ficció Fantasia i Fàndom" organized a thematic weekend with activities related to the British show, and I obviouly went to it.
There were some conferences, Q&A, contests, photo shoots, signings, concerts... And much more!
My favourite conferences were the one about the regenerations of the Doctor and the one about the books of the show in Spanish.
There were some special guests too, like Peter Roy ( An actor who appeared in Doctor Who, Star Wars, James Bond, Harry Potter, Superman, Indiana Jones...) and Andrew Cartmel (A novelist, screenwriter and writer of comics) and others, but my favourite is Sergi Páez. He is the creative director at Vision Factory Entertainment Studios, fan of Doctor who and the science-fiction, writer and director of the first Spanish Fanfict series about the Doctor, "The No-Nose Dog Project". When I heard that he was coming I was excited, so I took one of his books and he signed it to me.
But that wasn't the best: Sunday afternoon was the theater contest, and I was not enrolled because I was not interested on it. I met two girs and we became friends, and we were going to the room where the contest was conducted, but we arrived almost one hour late so we just could see the two last participants (The contest was played by pairs) And then, the presenter said: "Ok, so since we have Sergi Páez here, and he is a famous screenwriter, he must improvise some screenplay and we could take volunteers to represent it" And I raised my hand. But nobody else raised his hand. So the presenter said "As it seems like no one wants, Sergi will do it and I'll invent the screenplay" When we finished, I was so embarrassed, but that was over, or that was what I thought... We won! I couldn't believe it! I wasn't even enrolled on it!
Anyway, there were two awards, one for each of us, but we had to decide who was taking which. And how to decide? Doing another performances duel. Guess what? I won again! That was amazing!
