Watched Day of the Doctor & An Adventure in Space and Time with my parents at their house. It really does feel like Christmas. Finally, the Five(ish) Doctors as a last hurrah. In a surprisingly (unsurprisingly?) emotional place.

So, I'm assuming that to buy tickets, I keep refreshing the Cinemark and Fandango pages until one of them works. OK then.

Odds of me actually being able to purchase tickets at 9am ET tomorrow, based on the website now: nil. http://www.doctorwho.tv/watch-the-day-of-the-doctor/

Important question: SF Bay Area cinemas showing the 50th in 3D? Any bets? I will pay good money to be there.

Excited that 3 full stories, + more episodes & clips, have been recovered. Infuriating that they were lost to begin with.
