I’m celebrating the 50th Anniversary in Glendale with friends for my own geeky team of fanboys and fangirls.  Meet me in Glendale for a night of fun …

It’s funny but I grew up watching Doctor Who in Davenport, IA and was lucky enough to get the the PBS channel out of Chicago that showed ALL the British Geek series from start to finish.  If you’ve never seen the original doctors you’re missing out on a darker series that was quite scary (well it scared me as a child) and not the lighter direction that the reboot took.  I love ALL the doctors but in different ways since the characters were so different.  Don’t get me started on the companions that some I loved and some .. well I didn’t love (Rose is my least favorite of ALL of them) as much.  My favorite new Doctor is David Tennant and my favorite old doctor is Tom Baker.   Tom was always amusing but had a hard ‘take no crap’ attitude that always saved the worlds.

The fun times keep rolling for “Doctor Who” fans, eager to celebrate the show’s 50th anniversary. Geeks Who Drink is holding a nationwide pub trivia contest, taking place in 20 cities around the U.S.
“Don’t Blink: A Doctor Who Quiz” will test Whovians’ knowledge of their favorite show, with a heavy focus on the last three Doctors (Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant and Matt Smith). That doesn’t mean there won’t be goodies for fans of the old show, though. “We expect a majority of the attendees might only be familiar with the last three Doctors,” editor Christopher Short says. “But we want to make sure fans of the old series have some Easter Egg moments.”
The trivia contest will be held Saturday, November 16. Teams are limited to six players at most, with a $5 entry fee each. The winning team will get a cash prize. So strap on your fez and get ready to let your “Who” flag fly. Of course, as this is happening at bars, you have to by of legal drinking age to participate.
