X-Men Tweet-along

xmen_ver1We will be holding an impromptu Tweet-along, tonight (Wednesday, April 16) of the first X-Men film in preparation for next month’s release of X-Men: Days of Future Past. Please be sure to join us on Twitter and have your movie cued up and ready at 11:15 PM CDT. Anyone is welcome, and I believe we will be using the hastags #XMen and #FlicksWithFriends.

Friday Night Who 6/7/13

JUL101945Tonight for Friday Night Who we visit the fifth Doctor and Turlough, say goodbye to Kameeilion, and introducing Peri as the Doctor… er, sorry, still have “The Name Of The Doctor” on the brain.

I mean we introduce Peri to team Tardis.

And what an introduction it is.  Tame by today’s standards, but Nicola Bryant sure set the hearts of the fan boys racing at the time.  Don’t know what we’re talking about?  Then be sure to join us on twitter for the conversation, follow @travelvortex, @VortexKeith, @vortexshaun and @vortexglenn and look for the #FridayNightWho and #PlanetOfFire hashtags.  Maybe if we ask nice enough, @PeterDavison5 or @thenicolabryant will join us?

Doctor Who Photo Challenge Winds Down

We’ve reached the end (well, tomorrow) and once again wanted to thank everyone who participated and we hope you had fun with this. We liked it enough to do it again soon, (perhaps not over the busy holiday season). Again, only the pics posted to Instagram can been seen above, but we’ve seen them on Facebook and Twitter as well. And if you still want to play? Why not do it again in December?  We’re pretty lax on the rules, if you have missed out and want to join, by all means jump in now, or start at the beginning and post a bunch of photos to get caught up!

The rules are simple: Starting NOV 1st, and running for 30 days, we’ll have a new topic each day.  You’ll take a picture that best represents that topic for you (be creative!) and post it (we’ll be using Instagram–yes, even the neanderthal–but feel free to use Twitter or Facebook, really any social media site). Be sure to use the tag #DoctorWhoPhotoChallenge,  that way everyone can follow your photos.  You are allowed to take pictures of pictures (dvd and cd covers and what not) but please, take the picture yourself (even if it’s a picture of a screen).

The idea is to post a new photo everyday, but obviously, life gets in the way of fun sometimes, so if you get behind, just take two or three photos and post them for the days you missed.  The categories are posted here: but we’ll also send out daily reminders so you can keep up.  Be creative, have fun, and let’s see your pictures!
