What we’re about
We're a group of Doctor Who fans who get together in person and virtually to socialize, watch episodes, or listen to audio dramas. Although we're based in Chicago, we welcome anyone interested in Doctor Who.
(Note to medical professionals - we're not about medical doctors. Yes, we've had people show up asking if they can network with other doctors. We're still waiting to our first Time Lord because that would be awesome.)
We welcome anyone interested in Doctor Who. Whether you started with PBS "back in the day" or just learned about the show, you're welcome to join us. We meet both virtually and in person in the Chicago area.
If you want to know our monthly plans, please subscribe to our monthly email newsletter. (Don't worry - we won't sell your data). You can also find us on Facebook and Bluesky, and we encourage members to become sponsors on Patreon to keep our meets free (and low-cost), accessible, and inclusive.

IN-PERSON South Side Coffee Social - Jackalope Coffee and Tea House/Tangible Boo
Jackalope Coffee, 755 w 32nd Street (Bridgeport), Chicago, IL, USYou’ve probably seen that photo of the side door of a particular Chicago bookstore. You know, the one painted like a TARDIS?
That’s for a science fiction bookstore in Bridgeport, and we thought we would end our in-person events with an excursion to the south side.
It’s special - after all, it’s where our lead organizer grew up.
So join us at a Jackalope Coffee for great food and good talk, and then we’ll head out at 1:30 to check out Tangible Books near 33rd and Halsted.
Luckily, both sites are off the Halsted bus line, and it’s a great opportunity to get together before the holidays.
Hope to see you there!

Join us for a screening of DAY OF THE DOCTOR, where we will show
- Night of the Doctor (featuring Paul McGann)
- The original pre-theatrical introduction, and
- THE DAY OF THE DOCTOR
Because Doctor Who day *is* that important, and we want to help you get in the Whovian mood.
Hope you’ll join us!
