Of course, one must also take into consideration the Doctor's tendency to
complete forget what he was doing whenever he suddenly had a brainstorm
(especially the Fourth :-) ).  It probably would cause no end of frustration
for his partner if he suddenly exclaimed "of course!  The archon flux should
have been channeled through the molecular stabilizer!", got up and walked out
with a purposeful stride, mumbling to himself and completely ignoring the
world.

Maybe, like other aspects of his reputation, this habit has become known
galaxy-wide and now no one will have anything to do with him.

Naw, let's tell the World...

Okay, World, here's the scoop:

Visions '93 will again take place during Thanksgiving weekend.  Prices
for memeberships are currently $75 for a Three-day membership, $65 for
a Two-day membership and $55 for a One-day pass.  These prices are good
until April 1st, 1993, after which they go up to $85 for a Three-day
membership, $75 for a Two-day membership (your choice of days) and $65
for a One-day pass.  After November 1st and at the door, a Three-day
membership will cost $100, a Two-day membership will be $90 and a
One-day pass will be $80.  Buy yours early if you want to save!

Incidentally, Variety show tickets are $25.

Tentively confirmed thus far are Jon Pertwee (Third Doctor), Colin
Baker (Sixth Doctor), Sylvester McCoy (Seventh Doctor), John Levene
(Sgt. Benton), Elisabeth Sladen (Sarah Jane Smith), Sophie Aldred
(Ace), Jeremy Bentham (Who historian and author of DW: The Early Years
and DW: The 60s), John Peel (author of DW novelizations, new adventures
novels, etc!, etc!), Jean-Marc & Randi Lofficier (DW Terestrial Index)
and John Nathan-Turner (DW's longest Producer).

Cowboy Bob is also working on adding Tom Baker (Fourth Doctor) as well
as Peter Davison (Fifth Doctor) to the guest list -- as November 23,
1993 marks the 30th anniversary of Doctor Who, what better way to
celebrate than gathering all the surviving Doctors together?
Incidentally, according to Bob, Visions '93 will also take place at the
Ramada Hotel O'Hare, so make your reservations early!!!

Well, that covers the dates, prices, location and some of the etc.  Let
me know if you need anything else!

Don

>PS

>What happened to TMAW?

I don't know.  Of course, I haven't a clue as to what a TMAW is in the
first (and for that matter, second) place...

Perhaps you'd like to clue us in (or perhaps just me?)?

Subject: The Name "Castrovalva"
Date: 27 Dec 92 05:17:47 GMT
Organization: GE Corporate R&D Center
X-Newsreader: Tin 1.1 PL3

Some time ago there was a discussion of the origin of the name
"Castrovalva" (Peter Davison's first episode).  As was discussed at
the time, the name comes from a lithograph of M.C.Escher.  I just
received a book of M.C.Escher's work for Christmas and thought I would
post the information concerning "Castrovalva".

Escher's "Castrovalva" is listed in the section "Early Prints".  The
introduction to this section reads ...

   The seven prints in this group, selected from a large number which
   were made before 1937, display no unity as far as their subject matter
   is concerned. They are all representations of observed reality. Even
   no. 7 (Dream), although pure fantasy, consists of elements which,
   taken sparately, are realistically conceived.

The actual text about "Castrovalva" reads ...

   2. Castrovalva, lithograph, 1930, 53 x 42 cm.  A mountainous landscape
   in the Abruzzi.

The Abruzzi is apparently in central Italy.  The picture itself is of
a walled city (village?) atop a very high mountain.  The view is from
a narrow mountain trail just below the city.  In the valley below is
another village and another village is in the distance.  The scene is
very reminescent of the Castrovalva in the show.

The BBC "official answer" has always been "There's no hanky-panky in the
TARDIS".  Sorry to disappoint you.  Of course, the 1st Doctor travelled
with his granddaughter, Susan, which does imply that the Doc's not a
virgin......

........however, the New Adventures books imply that there are no
children born on Gallifrey...they're cloned or something like that (BTW,

You just criticized a man for not spelling a name properly.  He spelled
it Perri.  You corrected him, Perry.

The spelling is Peri.  Short for Perpugilliam (my, now THAT'S an
American name!) Brown.  You can find this in John Nathan-Turner's *The
Companions*, the episode guide, or Lofficier's *The Universal Databank*.
 Or, you can read the credits <g>.

FASA are still in perfect working order (they publish the very popular
Battletech series of games/books), but they lost the Dr Who licence a few
years ago (nobody ever revealed the reason). There's a new Dr Who RPG
called "Time Lord", published by Virgin in 1991 (ISBN 0-426-20362-3). It's
simpler than the FASA game (basically, it's aimed primarily at DW fans
rather than RPG fans), and I recommend it (I've got both games).

"I blame you for the moonlit sky and the dream that died with the Eagle's flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights when I wonder why are the seas still dry
Don't blame me, sleeping satellite"                              (Tasmin Archer)
