Matt Smith in New Orleans

I'm confused. This is a Comics convention, but Dr Who is a TV show. Did someone put out a comic book version too?

I'd like to meet, Matt. Not sure if we'll get within shouting distance. Who am I kidding? We can shout quite well. 
Paul, there are graphic novels. http://www.amazon.com/Doctor-Who-Chains-Olympus-GN/dp/1846535581/ref=sr_1_34?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1390329316&sr=1-34&keywords=doctor+who
Truth is, if it were called 'Sci Fi Geek Fest', we'd still go, but convention sounds more dignified.

My sister and her sons like to go to sci-fi conventions. [My sister is a writer whose work is often in that genre, though she has also done historical fiction]]

I have a friend who games. She attends at least one of Comic Cons a year and has worked them as well. This is my first.
It is in New Orleans during Mardi Gras season. It could be difficult guessing why people are in costume.

Yes,it certainly could!
Is Mardi Gras almost upon us? I never could figure out the church calendar.

It's quite late this year - the beginning of March.
Big in Germany. A517655
As to how it's figured out - how much time have you got?

The day after Christmas, stores replace the red and green decorations with purple green and gold. Officially Mardi Gras season starts January 6 through Shrove Tuesday. King Cakes hit the store shelves January 6th. Haven't had one yet this year.

I believe Matt Smith is entertaining in Boston now.

Looks like he's whistle-stopping Boston-New Orleans. The dates for Boston are also 7-8 Feb.

He is scheduled for an appearance the day we are attending. My friend is putting together a costume from Firefly. Any costume suggestions for me?

I'm on a library computer right now. My home computer died, and I have a new one, but the Internet connection has not been made yet.

Purchased my ticket this morning. Meeting friends early in the morning. The live updates of today's events looked promising.

The Comic Con was a lot of fun. Lots of people wore costumes. K-9 rolled past us on his way to the costume contest. The cos play actor dressed as Thor was very nice. Bought a few souvenirs including a TARDIS necklace.
Matt Smith's Audience interview was great. He even did the 'drunken giraffe dance' as requested by a member of the audience. After Matt said he had tried Gumbo and crawfish someone suggested alligator. To which the reply was 'Wow! You really eat alligator here? You are a bunch of Mavericks!'.
I managed to record most of that interview as a video on my phone.

Maybe they don't eat alligator there. Maybe it's a all a croc.
