Comic-Con 2015: Doctor Who Stars Party at the Doctor Who Fan Meetup
By Barry Rice
The Doctor Who madness at San Diego Comic-Con 2015 knows no end! Saturday afternoon was home to an epic Doctor Who party at the House of Blues, hosted by BBC America.
The Doctor Who Fan Meetup featured music by DJ Eclectic Method, a Weeping Angel photo booth, Doctor Who temporary tattoos, and even a live game show. These awesome sunglasses were given away as admission tickets:

Of course, the highlight of the evening was when the Doctor Who stars themselves showed up to party. First Michelle Gomez and Jenna Coleman appeared on stage:
