...
w.t.f.

did that all srsly just happen?
i mean...i didn't dream it, right? the past three days DID happen, right?

...
now that it's sunday night, and i finally have the chance to sit down and breatheat and process everything that i was lucky enough to do this weekend...i don't think i can wrap my head around it.

whatever i did to deserve the last few days, i am so incredibly grateful <3
so.friggen.tired.


-I spent most of the weekend with the actors/guests. both in the long bus rides between london and england, and at the con itself.
-got some wonderful pictures. am gonna make a scrapbook.
-My hotel room was a closet XD srsly. wall, tiny bed, tiny bathroom, wall.
-Fangirls are INSANE. those poor actors.
-I never got a badge. I just introduced myself to the staff one at a time, got the ok from the head guy, and was allowed to go anywhere i wanted. i was polite, well-behaved and willing to help, so no one minded.
-Met so many people from so many different countries. it was amazing
-Didn't talk with as much of an accent as i thought i would. go figure. or maybe i'm just not hearing it.
-I FINALLY got to meet the delightful [livejournal.com profile] strangeandcharm, despite how surprisingly busy i was. will get to spend more time with her tomorrow on my last day in london.
-If i had not ridden the bus with the actors, i would probably be in the hospital instead (or at least banged up all to hell), since my original ride was in a car accident on the way there. um...yikes.
-Misha is pretty when he sleeps <3 (whut?). and very quiet when not in front of a crowd. his wife is beautiful.
-I worked as much as I could at the convention, even though i wasn't staff. i don't think anyone minded. :3
-was asked quite often to help clear hallways, move people along and grab attention for announcements because i was the *quote* 'Loud Yank' *endquote* hahahaha
-The printer fucked up my pictures. so no one got to see/own them, but i'm told they will be getting them in the mail. bollocks. i was, however, given one of the few proofs, and the cast was more than happy to sign it for me <3 (and they loved them, omg, they srsly made me cry. all of the actors wanted one, and my face was so bloody red. it was overwhelming)
-Jensen signed the 'BigPic' for me. final sig GOT. \o/
-I did more running this weekend than I have in a year (yes. running. like, literally. i could make it from one end of the convention to the other in a minute flat) the air here is fantastic, no asthma attacks.
-Misha and Jared nearly clocked me at least three times with sharpies. i DID get hit with an unchewed piece of gum twice tho, damn them.
-Jared is an easily distracted twelve year old boy in a really pretty manbod.
-Jensen deals VERY well with all of the crap that fans do to him. I was impressed by his maturity with it all.
-Fred gives the best hugs evar. I loved getting to see he and Ginger again. (he even remembered me <3 *sniffs*) I tried so hard to stay low profile because I wasn't as important as the actors, but Fred wouldn't let me. He reminded me so much of my father that it literally hurt to say goodbye to him. i hope our paths cross again.
-All of Jensen's big, burly bodyguards were hilarious, and not so intimidating once i got to know them, despite the fact that one of them could have crushed my head with his fingers.
-Malik made fun of me all weekend. ALL WEEKEND. he very nearly put me in a headlock too, but i'm quicker than he is. lucky for him he's good looking :F
-As soon as they found out that I was nervous to speak to Misha, Jared and Jensen...gawd...Matt snatched the pic I had for Misha and showed it to him right in front of me, Malik introduced then shoved me into Jared (literally, but the dude is a rock) and Amy, Gabe, Richard and Fred manhandled me over to Jensen. I didn't stand a chance x___x
-Malik loved that I drew him as the only angry black man XD Jensen said he couldn't figure out which one Malik was *snort*
-Coke tastes better in the UK.
-I have barely eaten this entire weekend; kept forgetting.
-missed most of the Q&A's, but i was backstage for some of them.
-Amy Gumenick is adorable, i <3 her to bitty pieces and am damn well going to write to her. her boyfriend was just as awesome.
-Matt Cohen and Mandy Musgrave absolutely made my weekend. I cannot think of two more beautiful and friendly people. (and wow, she wasn't kidding, they really are all over youtube. huh.)
-The Staff at the con were very under-appreciated and over-stressed for all the work they did. i was more than happy to help whenever i could.
-ALL CON DRAMA IS THE SAME.
-i totally missed out on the crazy bedlam in the main hall. dashitall. i wanted to see some hair pullin fangirls.
-i had to run for every single one of my pics.(no, really. run.) the only one of them i really liked tho, the group shot, Matt accidentally left on the bus. !@#$%^&* gonna have to see if i can get another copy. (although i was not impressed with the photographer. lots of off center, badly lit pics. lame)
-Samantha was incredibly hot, holy cow, and very sweet/motherly.
-I got to talk to Richard almost the entire way back to london about his role in 'Band of Brothers' and all of the WW2 vets he got to speak to. He requested fanart of the Trickster X3
-Sam, Richard's accompanying friend, was a graphic designer and had a webcomic. i -loved- chatting with him XD he told me i should draw for tokyopop, bless'm
-Misha told me how to work twitter. i still don't think i'll use it, lol. everyone on the bus groaned when he told us about his last tweet (or twit, as he kept calling it) about the queen.
-Gabriel Tigerman is also an artist. Totally didn't know it, so i picked his brain. never have i met someone so full of joy. both he and his wife were amazing. (just married!)
-my feet have blisters.
-my body aches.
-i got very little sleep.
-I will miss them all very, very much.


there's so much that i will never be able to tell *laughs* i owe them all that much.
my life is so strange. XD

::EDIT::
LOL, i found this crazy blurry picture through [livejournal.com profile] tracy_loo_who's con post. that blotch of maroon back behind the left side of Matt? (if the pic was vertical) yeah, that's me X)
ignore that caption tho, the dude on the right is Josh, Amy's bf X) Matt was there with his fiance, not his brother. this sneaky photographer thinks they captured something great, but really, at that moment we were all comparing our freaky and gross double jointed talents. hollywood is all glamour, i tell you.

LOL. I can just imagine everyone treating Misha as the crazy one.

i assume [livejournal.com profile] strangeandcharm has been talking about me? XD

and honestly? Matt was a lot crazier than Misha *laughs* Misha was very quiet unless provoked.

there's so much more, omg. this weekend was mind blowing x__X luck doesn't even begin to cover it.

^^; i have a friend who would die, hearing all this. She was at the con, actually, though she didn't have so great a time, probably caught in all this organizational fucktardery drama that I keep hearing around but never hearing about. That isn't a plea to tell me, I really don't care, I'm just happy you had an unbelievably fucking amazing time, as it sounds like ;D

unfortunately, the lines very all very long. that's what happens when you have a large convention and -everyone- wants something out of it.
i did see a lot of complaining and bitching about it, but to be perfectly honest, it was either that, or only a few select people would have gotten autographs/pictures. its either one way or the other, you can't really have both. we who go to anime conventions know all about that. X) these fans just aren't used to cons this size and whats involved in organizing them. it could have been SO much worse.

*snugs* miss you <3 and thanks! i have no idea how i got so damn lucky either XD

i did artwork for the convention. as payment, the con heads flew me from the US to the UK, got me a hotel and let me into the con. as a sort of awesome side effect, the best way for them to get me from london to birmingham was to just stick me on the bus with everyone else.
it was seriously just ironic dumb luck. :3

That was a really good con report. I love hearing about what goes on BTS of these cons.

Just a question: who went on the Bus and were 'all' (Jensen and Jared) staying at the same hotel.

And its been a little disappointing that we havn't seen much of the other panelists. I was really looking forward to hearing from Matt actually, and Sam and the girls that played younger Mary. Patience!!

From: [identity profile] oatmeal-queen.livejournal.com
thanks :3 not much of a report, haha, i didn't think anyone but my f-list would read it, lol.

pretty much everyone of the guest was on the bust except for Jensen, Jared, Jason Manns and their respective others. the only actors that came by themselves were Samantha and Malik, everyone else either had a friend or their significant other.
yes, they did all stay at the same hotel, but i can't say which one ;)

Matt was an absolute stitch, and a sweetheart too. He loves his fans a great deal and was overwhelmed by how welcomed he was. The dude seriously would have given the shirt off his back, i'm not even exaggerating. and Amy, lol, she was absolutely adorable. what you saw of the two of them on stage was really how they are. very friendly, joking and open people.
they were all really, really nice <3 and i'm not just saying that.

everyone wants their five minutes.
understandably so, as each person that comes to these conventions to see the boys want to speak with them and see them for as long as they can.

but this was a big con. and when those fans were being jolted out of their five minutes so that everyone could at least get a picture or an autograph, the bitching started.
then the weird questions and the random and completely unnecessary stalking started. Jensen couldn't walk through the hotel on his own, let alone with his bodyguards, he had to be smuggled around the sides and through the back hallways.

hell, the guy couldn't even go to the bathroom without a guarded escort, there were literally fans trying to sneak in. it was just rude and unnecessary especially when they started openly complaining in front of him.

he is a very smart and understanding guy tho, so its not like he gets angry or dramatic about it, but i'm sure it wears on him.

Hey. :) I got linked to your asylum report, and I wanted to say thanks for sharing. It sounds like you had a total blast. I love the story about everyone pretty much bulldozing you into Jared, Jensen and Misha once they knew you were shy about talking to them. How very considerate, and not at all embarrassing. :p Lol, hope you're resting up a bit, and I definitely hope you get to see a little bit of London before you leave, it's a great city. Have fun!

lol, i'm linked from somewhere? this wasn't even an official con report XD

hahaha, yeah, i so loved being shoved around in front of people i'm shy about meeting *snort*
on the other hand, they helped me a great deal, cause otherwise i would have been too much of a chicken. Fred and Malik in particular wouldn't let me by self conscious about it all and i was very touched at their consideration.

i am totally going out to see london today XD wish me luck!

Aww. I'm glad to hear some people had a great time, and that everyone is generally awesome (damnit, now I need to attend a con). I dunno why, but attending non-anime cons scares me.

Also, where exactly can I go to purchase your art? Because it's beautiful and makes me giggle.

lol, now i'm on superwiki? :laughs: wasn't even a full con report or anything X)

to be honest, most of the time all i do is anime cons, since my studio and i do artist alleys up and down the east coast. this is the second supernatural con i've done, making it also the second non-anime con i've done, haha. they are waaaaay different tho, i can tell you that. people at these cons keep bitching about the lines and i'm like 'pffffft, you ain't seen nuthin.'

awww, thankyou for the kind words! i'm so glad you like my scribbles <3 what kind of purchase are you looking for? prints? and of which pictures? :3

I totally agree with the last poster -- best con report I've read!

And I did stalk you here... through a link... but had to say thank you for your candor and support of the wonderful actors we all get so much enjoyment out of. I also appreciate your being protective of their privacy (such as it is)...

Sounds like it was more your talent and "self" that landed you in a lucky spot -- I doubt that Fred, Malik and company would have taken you under their wings so thoroughly if you didn't fit right in with the crowd! I'm off to look for your artwork! Is there somewhere in particular that I can go via the web?

Very awesome that you helped out when you weren't even staff. I saw a few people doing that and thought they were utter stars.

I agree that the staff were under appreciated, it's just such a shame that the flow of communication appeared not to work.

Sounds like you had a fabulous time and thank you for sharing :)

From: [identity profile] oatmeal-queen.livejournal.com
it was pick and choose really. i've been to some cons that were absolutely spot on with their staff communication but the cons themselves were boring as hell. it wasn't so much that there was a lack of communication/organization in this one so much as being shorthanded.

anime cons are easy to find help for. gophers are plentiful and you don't need to be particularly sane to work them.
these kinds of cons, however, not just anyone can be staff. they have to trust that it's people that won't take advantage of their position and abuse the guests (which unfortunately, happens)
i do love the actors like any fan, but i wasn't out to molest or really bother anyone, lol. i just loved being a part of it and helping out ^^;

Came over from SuperWiki.

Thank you for your con report. And I totally understand your desire to respect the guests by giving us a discreet and yet, squeeful report. I, too, had found myself working one or two cons by accident.

But, I'm wondering if you might have any info on the while fan feeling Misha's hair. For some reason, THAT is completely occupying my thoughts!

Glad you had a wonderful time at the con as well as in London.

Peace Love and Cheese

lol, if there was anything that Misha thought about the whole hair touching thing, he didn't really voice it. everyone was just so tired after the whole thing that we talked about non-convention stuff for pretty much the entire trip back. *shrugs* he seemed fine to me, and doesn't seem like the type to get bothered by that kind of thing. but i dare not assume. :3

thanks for reading!

D'aaw..sounds like an awesome weekend. I'm glad that someone as nice and normal like you got the chance to meet them like this.

-Jensen deals VERY well with all of the crap that fans do to him. I was impressed by his maturity with it all.

I honestly pitty the guys for those fans. I know i'm considered a fan too, but their behaviour? thats just... I can't understand how some of the fans forget manners and common sense (if the ever had it) the second they meet them.

it really truly was an awesome weekend *laughs* and i really am nothing special. just a normal, everyday artist that got lucky ;)
and all the nice in the world on my part wouldn't have meant much if they weren't all such lovely people. truly, and i can't stress this more sincerely, they really are a wonderfully kind group of human beings. <3

and yeah, the whole improper behavior thing happens at any con, regardless of the fandom, unfortunately :( it seems a bit worse in some than others, but i was hoping that the fact that these were slightly older fans than i'm used to might make the difference.
yeah, guess not.

Ha ha, that was awesome. Did even Jared and Jensen ride in that bus? Did you get to hang out with them a lot?

Neither Jared nor Jensen were on the bus X) they rode in a separate vehicle with Jason Manns and each of their significant others.
I got to speak to Jared just a bit at the hotel the guests were staying, then I helped the both of them when they were doing their autographs. so no, i didn't hang out with them at all, lol X) they were very busy and i dared not distract them. for one thing, a distracted jared meant i got hit with sharpies -.-

Thank you for that report, it was awesome!
I was at the con and had a ball, but I have since seen various reports and stuff about fans beig rude to the boys, particularly Jared and saying some really rude stuff to him about his appearance and such.
Could you please tell me if he was ok?
Was he happy with the con and lord I hope he knows he is as loved and admired as everyone else on the show.

i wouldn't worry about it honestly. Jared seemed just fine to me, and he doesn't seem like the type to let stuff like that bug him *shrugs* i swear he was like a golden retriever. if anything even possibly bothered him it was probably solved very quickly by some kind of distraction, which more than likely led to him getting into mischief.

he really is just a chill guy. :3 so no worries.

Wow, you were there and talked and interact with the boys!!!! Can i hate you?? LOL

But seriously, this was a great report from an insider. Cuz sometimes it's hard to remember that these are real actual people who have their own lives and probably don't want us crazy fans around them all the time. :)

Nice to read a good report from Asylum once in a while. Haha

Hello. Instead of stalking you, I decided to say hi. So... "Hai..." :D I was reading 525,600 Minutes - I really really really like that story, btw - and found myself curious about the author so I decided to jump into your lj here and found your con report. I have to say I admire your restraint in not spilling all the details. Some people are like, "OMG! I know this, this, and this!"

Gosh! Not being able to let your inner fangirl loose... sounds like the time Dwayne Johnson came through my attraction at Walt Disney World. Had to just smile and put them on with out turning into mush. Not easy so I applaud you.

Your weekend sounds fabulous and, honestly, I'm jealous. I don't have the money to go to cons like that anymore. Although the running around you did sounds so familiar to me because I did a lot of that during the Star Trek cons I went to in my youth. The Star Trek fanclub I was a member of ran the hospitality suite and I was the lunch/drink/aspirin/whatever-you-need go-to girl. Awesome that you jumped in to help! I'm sure everyone appreciated it more than you know.

It sounds interesting that you got to do art for the con. How did you come by that? I must admit I'm thinking "I would if I could" so I just wanna know how one gets that. But all in all your time there sounds fantastic!

I read the bigger report too. Loved the pics and I have to say Malik is evil! Pushing you into Jared like that! ;) And Misha sleeping on your suitcase sounds adorable. Also the Twitter bit... I can SO picture a bus full of people groaning when he brought it up. He's an avid twitterer at times and funny as hell! I'd recommend signing up for Twitter if for no other reason than to read his "twits".

I shall bring my rant to a close. Hope I haven't creeped you too much. ;) I just really did enjoy reading all of that because it reminded me of "The Good Ol' Days" but with a fandom I'm actually quite new to. I imagine the fans for SPN are considerably more... um... avid than Star Trek fans. They sound scary.

You also keep telling everyone that you're not that interesting normally but I beg to differ. The way you use words and tell a story is entertaining and, in a way, tells me that you're more interesting than you think.

Also, your artwork is so made of win!

And I friended you. :D
