BritTrack Events
Want to party with your fellow anglophiles and get awesome media coverage at the same time? BritTrack has three events you might want to check out.
On Thursday, to start the Con of strong, there’s the 8th Annual BritTrack Dinner at Haveli’s. RSVP on Facebook if that sounds appealing!
The next day, the BritTrack is hosting a Vogon Poetry Slam. Bust out your worst poems (to human ears) and see if you can impress a Vogon. The planet’s survival might depend on it. No pressure. Submit your poems here if you want to compete or just stop by.
Last, but certainly not least, is the annual Doctor Who Ball. No requirements for the ball, but wearing themed attire is certainly advised. Pull out that TARDIS dress or keep it simple with a bow tie because bow ties are cool.
