Asylum \o/

The cat is currently not talking to me, but I'm going to wear her down. No one can resist fish-dangles-from-a-stick.

So my first con is now done and dusted. Possibly my favourite non-panel moment of the whole weekend happened when ulysses3_de and I were in the queue for our Winchester "squeeze" pics. Some woman and her kid went to stand between the two boys and the little girl took one look at them and ran to hide behind the table that all the photo-printing equipment was on. Jensen was all "now you've frightened her" to Jared, who then proceeded to do that really big laugh where he rocks back in his chair and claps his hands a lot. Then Jared gets up to try and comfort the girl but she ducks under the table. So of course Jared then has to duck under the table and just as he goes down, the little girl pops up the other side. By this point Jensen is killing himself laughing and saying to the bit of Jared sticking out "now you made her cry". Jensen then decides to jump up to the camera and start taking pictures of Jared and the hapless photographer who is trying to untangle the kid from the wires. The girl finally decides to completely run out of the room and Jared sits back down and says to Jensen "she probably saw My Bloody Valentine". :DDD

Jared is waaay prettier in the flesh. And Jensen is still ridiculously gorgeous even with bright red lasik eye. And they were both still TALLER than me even though they were sitting! Jensen said it was because they had stools which I'm taking it as meaning he thinks I'm not short and therefore it must be so :)

Despite the fact that Rogue Events (boo) did their damndest to ruin the thing and should not be allowed to run anything ever, the panels that I manages to see were all incredibly good fun and, man, Misha really is just THAT awesome. I'm really looking forward to catching the vids of the bits I missed though.

The guests were all really cool and it was obvious they were really trying to make it as good for the attendees as possible. In the autograph panels I managed to speak to pretty much everyone, even if it was briefly. Jared said that he'd only had three hours sleep on Saturday night as well as jetlag but that he'd be alright because he'd try to sleep on the plane. Jensen said that his eye was feeling good and the surgery wasn't painful and Misha instructed me that I shouldn't be a rule breaker when I didn't put down my thing to be signed fast enough and the staff lady got snippy with me.

In general everyone in attendance that I spoke to there was seriously cool (queuing is like war in that it creates camaraderie) and I loved that in Jensen's panel, when he mentioned Danneel, the crowd actually cheered for her and he seemed really pleased about that and said "yeah, love her". That felt like a pretty classy moment. Obviously a couple of people asking questions during the weekend were DUMB, but I think they were in the minority.

I've got to say, that I felt really bad for Jensen at the end of the con when he apologised for not doing his end panel because he was making sure everyone had gotten an autograph and pic. NOT HIS JOB OR FAULT.

And to make it even better, I got to spend the weekend with siubhlach , ulysses3_de and yehwellwhatever who all ROCK <3

I am now going to have the worlds bubbliest bubble bath and copious amounts of sleep and I hope that no one will mind if I leave catching up with you 'till later...

I'm so glad you had a good time, despite the craziness, and came away with some wonderful stories! Thanks for the story of the little girl - hilarious and so sweet! I can definitely see the whole thing happening and love that Jared got under the table to seek out the girl even as Jensen poked fun at him.

Enjoy the bubbles and have good dreams!

Ohhh thats sounds so cool and awesome. You are one lucky lady. Thanks for sharing these moments. Lots of love.

[adam-brittboy.livejournal.com]

Aww, it all sounds so good. I've never been to a con. eVER!!!!

I never doubted Jared was pretty of course, but, EVENPRETTIER?! Argh - With that in mind and a copious amount of J2 BigBang coming up . . . Can't breathe. . .


I'm also seriously getting into my Castiel/Dean fics. But the slightly less angsty ones. You done any recs for this pairing yet? You know I count on you to rec everything!

Anyway, so glad you had a great time, got to speak to them all and got pictures! Yay!

[moorspede.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you had a lot of fun.

Fandom was extremely quiet while you all were away!

Jared finally found someone there his own age and he scared her away!

*nods* Misha = awesome

Did you see Gen and Daneel?

[speedcat93.livejournal.com]

Hi!
I'm glad you had a great time! The boys really seem to be great and easy going, I like that about them ;-)
Just one question, as I've been away too I'm completely out of the loop... where was the con?
Take care & relax ♥

p.s.: I had SUCH a great time in London... it's hard coming back to Paris and to work tomorrow *sighs*

Thank you for such a cool report

[arathisiewen.livejournal.com]

I love all these links for SuperWiki on Twitter - the fandom seems less wanky than others; about Daneel though, I don't care for her as a separate person from Jensen, but then TOGTHER? Awesome on a stick.

And Misha is all kinds of awesome!

[ilaria84.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you had a great con-experience. here's to many more!

Jared in person is like looking at the sun. You know it may blind you but you can't look away.

Thanks for the report and a story I hadn't heard before.

Asylum!

[avampyr.livejournal.com]

That's gotta be the best recap from one of the guests of that suaree (heee!) that I've yet read! -- That's great that it seemed so much fun for most of the people there - especially the smart ones- heh ;>) -- You please take care, and maybe I can run into you on one of these events someday!! :)

[dramaa-princess.livejournal.com]

thank you for the rep! i'm glad you had so much fun! XD

Aww bless. lol! I still can't believe the moment with Leah. I still have the image of my idol Jared chasing MY daughter under the table. It was the best and I will never forget it. Out of the 3 Asylum's I went to this was my all time fave and its put me on a high.

Thanks you.

Thanks for your report! How awesome are those guys? They never seize to amaze me!

[http://users.livejournal.com/wertica_/]

N'AWWWW :D that is the cutest thing. and i just totally snorted out loud after "she probably saw My Bloody Valentine".

[damerel.livejournal.com]

Heee! I love the story from the photo studio - thanks for sharing it!

And yes, I felt so bad for Jensen at the end; he worked overtime to make up for something not his fault, and then apologised for it. Poor guy. He looked absolutely shattered.

[deangirl1.livejournal.com]

Thanks so, so much for sharing -- hope you don't mind my leaving a comment -- I followed you here via Twitter...

[smidirini.livejournal.com]

It was a grreat weekend, even if it was hard work, huh? You could tell the guests were really trying their best to make it fun. I love your story about the little girl. That is too cute :)

[vancouver-vixen.livejournal.com]

Hey glad you enjoyed the con. I thought the boys were fab and in person so gorgeous and Misha was brilliant. Totally agree with you that Jensen didn't need to apologise, like you say not his fault. I wish there was some way to let them know we really appreciated that they were there and like you say the guests were determined that everyone enjoy themselves.

[vancouver-vixen.livejournal.com]

THanks yes enjoyed the con (okay organised chaos on occasions but the guys made it worthwhile and the friendly nature of the queues was fab.) Have already booked to go next year. Hope Misha is a guest and Jim Beaver has already signed!!! Hope the cat is talking to you ***sends hugs***

[la-sigh.livejournal.com]

Hey your recs are fantastic !! Thank you for all the work and sharing !!
Happy that Asylum was so cool for you, yep I'm jealous as can be.
