Albuquerque Whovians

This group started as the Albuquerque area Dr. Who meetup. We are no longer affiliated with meetup.com.

We are moving most activity from the old wiki, http://boim.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dr._Who%2C_ABQ to this forum.

BookDelver maintains some other good Dr. Who related sites:

We now have a mailing list! Go to http://boim.com/mailman/listinfo/drwho to join!

Old-School Dr. Who Meetup

A new Albuquerque area Dr. Who meetup has been created.
They meet, primarily, to view older Dr. Who material.
Doctors 1-8.

See http://drwho.meetup.com/127/ for details.

New Season

will start on September 7, 2008. The new volume will be entitled Villains and will cover 24 episodes, unlike the interrupted season 2. Hopefully, with more time to deal with story arcs, etc. the writers will be able to deliver a more coherent set of stories than this last season.

Invasion of the Bane

SJA: Invasion of the Bane will air on Friday, April 11 in its time slot at 7 PM. The next episode, on April 18, will be the first part of Revenge of the Slitheen to be followed by our favorite Time Lord in his fourth series of the current set.

Ian Chesterton's Robe

I was watching the old episodes with the Doctor, Barbra, Ian and Susan. The episode was "The Keys of Marinus." I was trying to figure out the symbol on the back of Ian's robe. Knowing that he knows pressure points from the Aztec episode I theorized it has to do with the martial art that he knows. I asked a friend what martial arts use pressure points and he tells me aikido I seem to recall Ian mentioning this in another episode. We looked up aikido symbols and I think we have a match with the symbols on the back of his robe. I think its a picture of a phoenix on the back.

Dr. Who RPG

There is a new Dr. Who RPG due to come out in 2008:

They are taking applications for playtesters.
If I can find 2-4 more interested people, I'd like to try.

Any takers?

Contact me if you might be interested.

mailing lists

there appear to be modules for drupal to integrate
with mailman mailing lists.
I may try that if people want.

I'm also looking to see if there is a way for members
to send an e-mail to ALL members, so we wouldn't really
need a separate list.

There are also modules where you can mail to drupal
to make posts.

I'm also looking to see if users can get e-mails
whenever somebody posts to a forum.
That would work for mailing lists too...
if everybody asks for mail updates to meetings and viewings forums.
