All Hell Breaks Loose Convention Update
Well first day of con is over, I'm back at the hostel and exhausted.
This will just be a quick one because of timed internet, updating in full will come later. Long story short, boys are fab, Danneel is all kinds of nice, I may or may not have been talking to her for about 2 mins before I even realised who she was... lol. I love Misha a hundred times more than I did, not that I didn't like him, just I was a bit blase Awesome atmosphere everyone was super nice and friendly.
If I had to criticise one thing from the organisers it would be the question taking. The staff were running all over the auditorium to hand over the mic, would have had time for many more questions if people just lined up like they do at other cons. From the fan side of things... why, why, why, do people continue to ask obvious slash questions!! I get that a lot of people like to allude, but one girl today at Misha's panel, for the second question of the day started talking about a fanfic where Castiel's vessels was still in love with Dean, and did Misha think that would be true. Thankfully it was just kind of brushed over but I was still pulling my collar from the awkward. (PS Really really sorry if this was you! I'm not trying to point fingers or be mean! Its just that I am comfortable in our little fandom shell and I get anxiety issues when people blatantly bring it up to the boys, even if the scriptwriters throw it right back at us!)
I spent so much money that I almost feel bad... but really that was nothing, the organisers auctioned t-shits that the boys drew on on stage, Jared's went for $1200, Jensen's $4000. It was insane for both auctions there were two people battling it out and the bids just kept climbing! But good on them both!
My photos are not going to be great because I was up in the nosebleeds of the auditorium and my camera doesn't have great zoom. But got lots of sneaky illegal footage and purchased the official video of the weekend, all of which I will post when I get back to Brisvegas.
Well that's it for me for now, looking forward to tomorrow and the J2 panel (there wasn't a combined one today) I'll try to get on again before I leave for home but if not looking forward to updating then!
Also can't wait to see everyone else's posts about the con! Yay!!
