This past weekend found the family at two conventions and the local model UN or rather it found Peter at GalaxyCon Louisville (We highly recommend all the GalaxyCons to fans and professionals. They know what they are doing and have lines down to a fine art. They take care of their guests), Caroline at Model UN, and me at L.I. Who: An Unearthly Convention.
For those of you who have been reading along know that I have gotten a number of puppets to various people involved in one of my favorite TV shows Doctor Who.
This past weekend two more puppets made it to their new owners and it was the ten year anniversary of one actor getting his puppet.
Ten years ago I met Paul McGann at I-Con and gave him his 8th Doctor puppet.
This past weekend my friend Eric H. helped me out to get this photo which was 10 years to the day of when I first met Mr. McGann.
So silly fun and some nice conversation afterwards.
One of my top Doctor Who companions of all times is Leela played masterfully by Louise Jameson. She was at LI Who this weekend and I got her a Leela puppet.

She loved it and told others that she loved it. I got to tell her how much that character meant to me when I was a teenager. She was great with all the fans.
And there is a rare picture of me giving her the puppet.

Speaking of giving puppets, Peter delivered my 9th Doctor puppet to Christopher Eccleston. This honestly was a puppet I never thought I would get to the actor but he recently started doing conventions and Peter happened to be at one where he was at.

He adored it and told Peter that his kids were going to love it a lot. He immediately put it on and started playing with it.

The only reason I have these photos is my friend Jamie just happened to be in the area when this all went down.
So that was this past weekend with puppets.
I have two pieces I want to get done in the next two weeks. One is going to take longer as I need to work out some of the how on it but it will give me some new direction to go.
I am grateful to everyone who helped me this weekend.
