The welcome panel, Good Morning Gallifrey One, started off with a slide show of pictures from past years of Gallifrey One. Good Morning Gallifrey One – Program A, 10:00am It probably wasn’t until about 5 minutes to 10am before they let us in. Soon the line behind us got really long and they kept telling us to squish together because there wasn’t really anywhere for the line to go. Then we went outside and waited in the Program A line until it was time to go in. Then I picked up the T-shirts I had pre-ordered for Josh and myself. We walked into the lobby, where there was no line for registration, and we were promptly given our badges.

We thought it might be the registration line, but then we saw that everyone in line already had badges, and we soon learned that the line was for the Program A room, where the welcome panel would take place. We saw that there was already a line outside. We pulled right into the Marriott parking lot and paid $13 to park in the parking garage. I was amazed at how good traffic was! Parking was no problem. The line to get into Program A for Good Morning Gallifrey One!Well, we got going a few minutes late, and even stopped off at a drive-thru to grab some breakfast, and we arrived around 9:15am. So I figured we should leave around 8am to make sure we got there on time. However, this was weekday rush hour traffic, and I’m sure you’re all aware of how notoriously horrible LA traffic can be. We were driving in from Fullerton, which is probably about a 45 minute drive without traffic. The welcome panel was scheduled to start at 10am, and being a first-timer, I wanted to make sure I was there for that. Our friends Davey and Tamara had also managed to snag tickets to the coveted event, and both had the day off from work, so I carpooled with them. But he was able to trade shifts so that he could work the earlier shift and get to the convention as soon as possible. However, I took the day off of work on Friday so that I could attend the entire day. This was our first year attending Gallifrey One! Although I knew about Lobb圜on, which takes place on the Thursday night before Gallifrey One begins, where early arriving attendees congregate in the lobby, we were unable to attend.
