Several Very Nice Things
I am filled with glee that such a thing as this exists. (take the virtual tour.) It looks like something out of Myst, but it is ACTUALLY REAL. Who wants to go to LA and pretend to be Hollywood muckety-mucks and go to this place?* Also, if I had stupid amounts of money, I'd want to convert some old building into a house that looks like that.
The Eleventh Doctor's costume. Not terribly exciting, but I think it looks very doctor-y, so I'm good with it. I was more anxious to find out what he'd be wearing than what his companion would be like!
Belatedly adding a photo to this post. This is one of my absolute favorite things about CONvergence - the silly caution sign on the chandelier in the coffee bar. For at least a few years now, the room has been organized in such a way that people waiting in line for coffee are in much less danger of hitting their heads on low-hanging lighting fixtures, but the sign remains, and I love it. I hope it never goes away.**
*I don't know if you have to be a muckety-muck (or any kind of muck) to get in, but I figure it might help.
**I just realized they didn't have the 3D balloon star map this year. I said I would cry if it was ever taken away, but I forgot to cry. They replaced it with a portable planetarium, though, so that helped.
