Happy 50th Birthday, Doctor Who! I attended the Anniversary Celebration in London yesterday and it was so much fun! I’ve got a lot of videos to put together, including the panel chat with Matt Smith! I’ll be posting those as soon as I get home, right now I only have terrible hotel WiFi. So for now, here are a few of my favorite pictures from that day.
Front row seats for the panels!
So what were your thoughts on the special?
Well, I did it and I lived to tell the tale. Bucketlist Item #10. Check! I can tell you there is no feeling quite like the rush of stepping out of a plane 11,000 feet in the air… on purpose.
We found a Groupon, so the jump cost was only $115. I say “only $115” because without the Groupon, it would have been much closer to $200. The weather was pretty terrible for our appointment time of 2:30, so we ended up jumping closer to 6 or 7. We occupied our time with some soccer…
And mobile “Family Fued…”
And in no time, we were off…
Other than the initial terror due to stepping out of the plane, it actual wasn’t too frightening. Because of the delay, we ended up jumping right at sunset, which made it worth the wait. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone to try at least once. If you decide to purchase the video, be prepared to see some very bizarre facial expressions. Not from fear, but from the air pressure. I had giant cheekbones at one point, flapping lips at another and the side of my face moved in ways that ones face never should.
