Hey folks - I’m back from manother flat viewing (the apartment was quite okay) and ready to continue my report on the Jus in Bello Convention, so let’s get ready to rumble and head on to Saturday, April 3rd…

Saturday
I actually forgot something from my report of Friday, so I’ll just add it here:
When Misha was being asked to tell a funny story from the set of 24, he didn’t know how to pronounce the last name of the actor Dennis Haysbert (who plays President David Palmer on 24) and since I’m a big fan of 24 since season 1, I shouted “Haysbert” over to him.
Misha: Dennis… I actually don’t know how to pronounce his last name…
Me: Haysbert.
Misha: *looking at me (on the microphone)* Haysbert?
Me: Haysbert.
Misha: … okay, so with a German accent you pronounce it ‘Haysbert’.
Audience & Me: XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD~
Misha: Is that right?
Audience: YEAH!
Misha: And he came into the make up room at that morning […] and Denzel Washington had just won an Oscar and that was the first time a black person had won an Oscar. […] And he said: Isn’t it amusing that we minorities finally are getting recognized. And… in the states I don’t technically qualify as a minority… I’m a white male…
Audience: LOL
Misha: And […] apparantly he and the producers of the show and everyone else involved - thought that I was from Serbia!
Audience: XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD~
(you can watch that scene
here)
So, let’s continue with the actual report of Saturday:
After getting almost no sleep at all (Sleep? Can I eat that?) we got up at 6.30 am, put some makeup on and got down to have breakfast. Fortunately we got in the normal breakfast room with a buffet and everything. We learned that there was a separate room for the fans during the Convention and luckily I only had to eat there once (on Sunday)… but anyway...
After we finished our breakfast we headed to the main hall and while the most of us took their seats, I already stood in line for the Jared Photo Op, as he was only there at Saturday and I wanted to get my shoot with him asap. But after I had stood in line for a few minutes we were all told that we’d have to get in the main hall for the Opening Ceremony. So everyone moaned and moved to the main hall and took their seats. Gosh, thank God we did!! Because after a few words of Andrea he announced that ALL the guests will be coming to stage next!!! So of course we were screaming like hell, when Jensen, Jared, Misha, Jim, Traci, Richard, Steve and Jason came to stage!
Srsly? My first thought was: “Oh my effing God… Jensen looks even hotter than on TV!!” and I couldn’t stop drooling (forgive me, I’m a fangirl and I’m aware of it XD)… so after a never ending applause the guests greeted us and Andrea stepped ahead and announced, that they should break the easter egg now. Yeah well… they had a huge chocolate easter egg at the stage and so Jensen, Jared, Misha and all the others started smashing it with their microphones o_O
That… smile… *diez*
In the middle of the egg were maaaaaany small chocolate eggs and so the guests took a few hands full and started throwing them into the crowd XD Of course everyone was going crazy because - catching candy from one of the Js or Misha or the others?! YAY XD!! In the end I directly caught one from Jensen (Fangirl moment #20567) and Misha tried to throw them as far as he could but ended up hitting a spotlight, the candy bounced back and hit his own head XDDDDDDDD~ Aaaaaaaaaw, poor Misha :P
Video over here Wheeee~!! The guys obviously have fun <3
After that the guys left the stage and it was time for Richards panel. Of course Becky had another question up her sleeve and stood in line again. I don’t quite remember anything he said in particular but as always it’d been a very funny and entertaining panel. Richard, you managed to turn me into a fangirl this weekend, so: kudos XD
Before the panel ended I had to hurry outside because next up would be then Jared Photo Op… ah yeah… that’s another little insider of this weekend. The announcer had his problems with pronouncing the words correct. So he kept saying “Photo Choppe” all the time XD Of course we cracked up every single time… dammit XD
Yeah well… so I stood in line for my Jared photo and when I got in the conversation went on like this.
Me: *getting into the room with 5 other girls*
Security: Next.
Me: *stepping forward* Hi, Jared.
Jared: *smiles* Hi, how are you doing?
Me: Fine, thanks. *walks over to where jared sits* Can I hug you?
Jared: *smiles* Yeah, sure!
Me: *hugs him*
Photographer: Next.
Jared: Bye!
Me: Bye *waves* :)
Okay, I was really nervous before I got in but when I was taking the picture I was kind of calm and relaxed… of course after I got out I was freaking out XD He was wearing that low-necked black shirt and you could see soooo much of his chest… anyone would be freaking out after almost touching it XD
Most of the others just laid one arm on his shoulder… but I want him ALL!!
Well, after that little experience I went to the main hall and Jensen’s panel started.
Seriously… I don’t remember a damn thing… he was just too beautiful and funny and amazing and… HE WAS JENSEN, FOR CHRIST’S SAKE!! - Anyways… there are tweet compilations stating the questions and answers from the panels so I’ll stick to my personal experiences, okay? ^^
So, a few minutes before Jensen’s panel ended, I jumped up and hurried to get to the toilet, becauuuuuuse - I needed to change clothes! I had bought 2 Photo Ops with him and I wanted one of them to be special. So, once again, I put on my Impala Cosplay and headed to the line in front of the Photo Op room. I pretty much forgot everything that happened inside but I guess it went on kinda like this:
Me: Hi, Jensen!
Jensen: Hey there, how’re you doing? *looking at my cosplay* Wow, cool dress!
Me: Thank you!
Jensen: So, what do you wanna do?
Me: Hm, something special, maybe? Since I’m cosplaying the Impala… like… could you stand up?
Jensen: Sorry, I can’t *smiles apologetically*
Me: *trying hard to be spontaneous* Hm… maybe we could do some rock? *does the rocker hand sign*
Jensen: Sure *does the same*
It went on very fast and I didn’t even see that he did the same sign until I got my photo… and then, of course, I died… AGAIN!! Because he just looks so fucking adorable in this picture and I love, love, LOVE it to death!!
ROCK ON!!! Dean and his girl… *sighs*…
Right after my hundredth heart attack so far I went to stand in line for Jared’s autograph. I handed him my canvas and he smiled at me and said: “Hey, that’s cool! Did you paint that?” and I smiled back at him and affirmed.
Just thought I could post a pic from the finished thing… with the signatures of Jensen, Jared, Misha, Jim, Richard, Traci and Jason on it ^^
We then finally had some time for ourselves and I got back to our room and changed clothes (or did I do that before? I kinda forgot…)
Anyway - after finally getting something to drink and resting for about half an hour we went back downstairs for our Road House group shoot with Jensen and Jared - and we were the very first in the row!! Daniela let us in even before the Prophet Pass Owners!! Wow, I’m still so grateful for that!! So, the nine girls of our group got inside the Photo Op Room and said “Hi” to the Js.
But then it happened. I went around Jensen and stood at his left, typo positioned herself right from Jared - when
loveinadoorway stumbled over the poorly draped background scenery and fell into the curtains. Gosh, we were in mortal fear for her because we thought she had seriously hurt herself. Jared ran over and offered her help and Jensen came over too. I dunno, somehow we managed to get her back on her feet and the Js were constantly asking her, if she’s okay. Gladly she wasn’t injured but only very ashamed :(
After that they needed some time to fix the background again and so we had the chance to watch those incredibly beautiful boys a little longer - thanks for that, Nurple |D
We then took our previous positions but the photographer said, that it’s too many people and after thinking for an instant he said, that two of the girls had to get in the front… like… kneeling… in front of the boys… like… in the middle of their legs… typo and I didn’t even look at each other, we kinda jumped in the front and the photo was being shot. Sadly I was so friggin happy and nervous at the same time, that my mouth kept twitching… so I look kinda retard at the picture… but it’s just a wonderful memory for all of us and I’m glad we did this!!
Dammit… I dunno… I don’t hate my expression, I just think I look kinda dumb on this pic… well… anyway… could’ve been worse ^^
After the group shot, some of us stayed in there, because we got single Ops with the boys as well. So I got out the sunglasses I bought for them and waited for my turn. When I stepped forward and handed the glasses to the guys, they were grinning like little boys. We did the shot and afterwards Jensen turned around, the glasses still on his nose.
Jensen: Can I keep them?
Jared: YEAH!
Me: … sure o_O
Js: :D
XDDDDDDD Gosh, so adorable!!
Oh my, we’re SO cool… aren’t we?!
I went out and freaked out… again… afterwards I returned to the main hall, where Misha’s second panel would take place soon. Since I was too late to stand up and heading for the microphone on Friday, I decided to stand in line earlier this time and after a few minutes it was my turn. But then Pada came to me and asked, if she could get in front of me, because she wanted to do the prank, Richard had asked us to do on Misha. So Pada went to the microphone and the conversation goes like this:
Pada: This time it was all Richard’s idea. I want you *looks at the audience* to take out the little presents we brought Misha…
Audience: *is taking out the most ugliest briefs they could find and is waving with them*
Misha: *cracks up*
After that, a girl from the staff collected the briefs and brought them to Misha, who immediately started sorting them out XD He was like:
Misha: *looking at a pair of really ugly boxers* … definitely a keeper!!
As he continued sorting them out, he found one very ugly, red pair with yellow tigers on it (pretty much Ed Hardy style, if you ask me), which was from a brand called “Greenice”… he made a disgusted face and mumbled:
Uuuuugh… well… yeah XD
Misha: “Greenice… sounds like an infected penis…”
Audience: *cracks up* XDDDDDDDDDDD~
Right after that, it was my turn and I stepped forward.
Me: Hi, my name’s Ines, I’m from Germany -
Misha: Your name is ‘Ines’? *heads back to the pile of underwear* *finds the ugly red shorts* You should have those! *walks over and hands me the greenice shorts*
Me: o____O *ugh*
Audience: XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD~
Well… yeah… as you can see at my expression… I’m so delighted… but Misha gave me something he touched… *flails*
After everyone calmed down, I finally got to ask my very, very serious (NOT) question…
Me: So… we saw Kevin Sorbo earlier today and were wondering… what is he doing at a Supernatural Convention? So… my question is: Is Kevon Sorbo God?
Misha: ……….
Audience: XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD~
Misha: ………. You know, I was wondering about that, too… when I first saw him I was like: Who’s that? Has he been on some show?
Audience: Hercules!
Misha: ………. ah… whatever… was it any good?
Audience: Nooooooyeeeeeeseeeeeeh (kinda indecisive)
Misha: ………. oh... right.. I get it :D
His face!! Oh my… I love him so much!! That sneakiness… (I wrote Ines again… a sign?! A conspiracy? XD)
(took most of the lines from janie-tangerines report
here)
STRIKE!! (Becky's expression is hilarious!!)
After that the panel went on for quite some time and Misha left the stage. Few minutes later it was time for the J² panel. Suddenly there were lines for the microphone up until the back of the main hall XD Awesome!!
At some point of the panel (in the middle of an answer actually) suddenly there was a voice - MISHA!! And he wasn’t even in the main hall! So Jared looked up somehow confused and asked:
“God?”
Of course everyone cracked up at that and a little conversation began. Then Jared stood up and went to the screen behind them, which was showing a fanmade picture of Bobby, Dean, Sam and Cas at the moment and started hitting the picture of Castiel XDDDDDD~
Jared: SHUT UP!!! *hits the picture* I’m hitting your picture right now!
Misha (outside the main hall): I know, I can see that…
Few minutes later Misha came in the main hall and on the stage. He hugged Jared and went over to Jensen, invading his personal space XDDDD Oh my, my poor Dean x Cas fangirl heart… you can probably tell, that I - once again - died XD
Video can be found here (the photo on the right was made by nicolemissing, the others are - as most of them - from
loveinadoorway,
kreespa and
wingfrog)
After the J² panel we had about half an hour until the first Photo Choppe (XD) with Misha. So typo and me got outside and stood in line. While waiting we were wondering about what to do in the shot, because we wanted to do a partner-op and we wanted to do something special. 5 minutes before we got in, we decided to draw an “OFEN” sign... you don’t know what an Ofen is? Well... let me explain...
In Germany the 3rd season has just started to air on free TV. So in our German Forum, Misha’s character is yet still a spoiler. So that one day, I wrote the name “Cas” in one of our threads and a friend reminded me, that the name itself is a spoiler. So I made the crappy excuse, saying:
“Actually... I did mean my GAS... oven...”
Yeah well... since then, Misha and Castiel are known as the Ofen at our forum... so that’s why we made that sign pretty hastily. When we got in, Misha of course asked what this was about and we kinda explained it in short:
Me: In Germany you are a spoiler and that’s our code name for you!
Misha: ………. you Germans are crazy...
His expression kinda says: “I don’t have a friggin clue what they’re talking about… whatever…”
So typo and me took the picture and got outside and died... once again (is anyone getting tired of us dying over and over?).
We then met up with Becky again and she was literally ten feet off the ground... she just had had her three (!) Photo Ops with Richard and when she asked him to do something special, he took her on his arms!!! So amazing!!
HIS FACE!!! *LOL*
She said goodbye again, because in 10 minutes her Meet & Greet with Richard would take place and typo and I were then wondering what to do next and discovered, that Jim’s panel was next. So we went to the main hall and took our seats. Jim came on stage wearing a thick leather jacket, so when he realized, that it’s way too hot for that, he took it off and I shouted:
Me: “You can leave your hat on!!”
Audience: LOL
After thinking for some time for a good question, I got up and headed to the microphone. I asked Jim, why there was no reference at all to Sam being locked into the panic room between episodes 14, 15 and 16. Episode 14 ended with Dean and Bobby locking Sam into the panic room, in 15 he was out suddenly (I know, that they swapped those two episodes due to Valentine’s Day) and in 16 the boys were lying in hotel beds. No reference... at all... like, is he clean now? How much time passed? Anything?
Unfortunately Jim said that he honestly didn’t know and couldn't answer that.
So after Jim’s panel we left the conference area and went upstairs to our rooms. Becky came too and we asked her, how her Meet & Greet had been but she was very depressed - Richard didn’t show up and the staff told her, that he’d been too tired. So the M&G was moved to Sunday but no one gave her an exact time... but they said that she was up to now the only one who showed up for Richard’s M&G so maybe she would be alone with him (FANGIRL DEATH part #4739259).
I then took a shower and changed clothes (I’m such a girl, I know ^^)... last item on our lists for Saturday was the concert of Jason Manns. Since all the other panels and stuff had been late for at least 5 minutes at that day, we went downstairs at 8.50 pm - the concert should start at 9.00 pm - but when we got to the ground floor, we could already hear music. So we started running and indeed - Jason already started his concert o_O
So we got in, took our places as quiet as possible and listened to his amazin voice and guitar skills.
Honestly - I didn’t even know any other songs from him beside “Crazy Love” (in which Jensen has a singing part *cough*) - but I fell in love with his music right away!
Becky and me | Mijung, Lena and me
So after the concert we went to the bar again and had drinks and talked and laughed and danced and drank. It was so nice, talking about the day and everything we experienced. We stayed up pretty long and even Jason and Steve came over later and we talked a little, before we went to bed.
*sighs* ... okay, that’s Saturday... I hope I didn’t forgert anything... my brain’s like soup at the moment... hopefully I’ll manage to write the report for Sunday tomorrow... let’s cross our fingers ;)
Stay tuned
