Jus In Bello Report - Sunday
Okay, I don’t quite know how to do this but… I’m going to write my report about the last day of 2010’s Jus in Bello Convention now…
Thank you for all the support and the nice comments you sent me, I’m so happy I could make you at least feel good in a way.

Addition to Roman Holiday
Oh my… how could this’ve happened? I forgot another thing… a major thing actually… as I said: my brain’s kinda crammed since last weekend, so forgive me. There was one thing which happened during the Roman Holiday, which I totally forgot to tell you about.
I was standing a few steps behind Misha and his agent, Julie, and was talking to some other girls (can’t quite recall who it was exactly, so sorry)… suddenly we noticed, that Misha’s collar was a little messed up and we were standing there, deliberating if we should tell him or not. So because I still had the Gummybear bag in my hands and hadn’t dared to ask Misha yet, I stepped forward and offered him some. As you all know, he gladly took a pack and since I was still standing next to him, I figured it would be best, to just tell him at this moment.
Me: By the way - you might wanna fix your collar, it’s pretty messed up.
Misha: Oh yeah? *looks over his shoulder to check* You wanna fix that up for me?
Me: *dying again*
Yes, ladies and gentlemen - I fixed Misha Collins collar… and I forgot to tell you about it… I’m so deranged, there are a bazillion thoughts and memories in my head every single minute of the last few days and I can’t seem to get them in an order so… forgive me, please!
But since I received a lot more pictures from the Roman Holiday in the meantime, I guess it’s just fair, to share them with you, too!
Me talking to Richard about the prank, a pic of Alan and me and that wonderful shot of Misha... *sigh*
Hey, what is Misha doing there? We just wanted to make a pic of Julia and me... damn u, sneaky Misha :P
Me and Misha... and the gummybears :P

Sunday
So… this was going to be the last day of this awesome experience called ‘Jus in Bello Convention 2010’… of course me and my roommates had mixed feelings about this day. We were so happy and thankful for everything we experienced up til then but already so sad and anxious about the upcoming end of it. So we got dressed around 7 am and went downstairs to have breakfast.
This was the first day for me, when I was sent to the separate breakfast room for the fans. Gosh, I hated it… I was so pissed because it was no problem on Friday and Saturday and suddenly they said, that my room number was on another list… yeah… right… but some of my roommates were already sitting in the normal breakfast lounge… anyway, I headed to the other breakfast room and had one disgusting bread-thing with marmelade and continued being pissed.
After that unsatisfactory experience we went to the Opening ceremony in the main hall and right after that I hurried to get in line for my second Jensen Photo Op. It was again very quick and I got my first and only normal and ordinary Photo Op with Jensen. But I love it nevertheless... we would make a good couple, don't you think!? (just kidding XD)
Next thing was Traci’s panel and I can say without a doubt that I love her even more than before… she’s just so lovely, so spiritual but yet normal and warm and loving… I can’t describe it, she’s just a sweetheart. She even played her drum for us and made us sing with her.
Watch Traci playing the drum
Near the end of her panel, she addressed the audience, asking if there was anyone being too shy to come to the microphone and asking her a question. At that moment, Misha, who had sat in the back at one of the visitor’s chairs, stood up and got to the microphone. He made himself very small and pretended to be a shy girl. So Andrea went over and turned down the microphone stand.
Adorable Misha Vid this way
Misha: Uh…
Audience: lol
Misha: … uhm…
Audience: LOL
Misha: ………… I CAN’T!! *runs back to his chair*
Audience: XDDDDDDDDDDD
Traci: Aaaaw… precious <3
After that I hurried outside and stood in line for the autographs of Jim, Richard and Traci, which were still missing. I got my canvas signed from all of them and Traci even drew some little hearts on it. They all liked my painting very much *happy*
And there was another funny thing, which happened inside the autographs room. I accidentally had flushed my Angel Pass down the toilet… TWO times… gosh, it’s so embarrassing… I don’t wanna explain, just… believe me, I will NEVER EVER put something this important into the back of my pants… ever… again…
So, when we got inside the autographs room, we had to show our passes and they were taken out and marked on the back site. So when Julie came over and asked me to get the pass out, I said, that it’s not possible, because it got wet and would break if someone tried to get it out. So when she tried anyway, I told her, that it got flushed down the toilet and she looked at me, completely in shock, and asked:
“And you’re telling me this NOW?!”
… she already had it in her hands… I hastily told her, that I desinfected it already and that there’s nothing to worry about but when I told her, that it happened to me twice, she just couldn’t stop laughing… and so did the security guys… well… dammit XD I’m such a fool!!!
After that little… ordeal, I went back to the line for the Jensen & Misha Photo Op. I didn’t even know what to do in it, until I got into the room in the end. So I just stepped forward and asked them, if we could do a little fight scene. Sadly, they didn’t stand up for it but still I really like this picture <3
While standing in the line, I asked the girl who ‘guarded’ the entrance to the room, if I could wait somewhere because I got another Photo Op with Misha, which would be up next. So she said, she would remember my face and I could come straight to her and wouldn’t have to stand in line again. That was so great! Thanks again for that <3
So when it was around 12 and Misha’s last Photo session started, I got another pack of Gummybears (thanks again for that, wingfrog) and got in, right after the Prophet Pass owners (yay me XD)!!
Me: Hey, Misha!
Misha: Hey, Greenice!
Me: -_- …
Misha: :D
Me: So… you wanna do that little stealing scene from Friday morning?
Misha: Huh?
Me: *waving with the pack of gummybears*
Misha: Aaaah… sure!
So first he just gripped one edge of the pack and pulled but since the photographer wasn’t ready to take the picture yet, he seemed to change his mind and… yeah well… did THIS!!
I had such a hard time not to have a laughing fit at this moment XDDDD
Afterwards he wiped his saliva off it (duh… dammit, maybe I could’ve cloned him somehow XD) and grinned at me. But when I wanted to get back the gummybears, he just pulled them out of my hands and hid them inside his jacket. I was like:
Me: Uh… so… you wanna keep them?
Misha: Yeah.
Me: ………. But they’re from a friend of mine….
Misha: Don’t care. Mine.
Me: XDDDD … okay…
Gosh, did I mention how much I LOVE this man??? *diez again*
Well… after the second gummybear-thief-incident I went back to the main hall to see Jensen’s second panel (for which I too have no transcript or anything, I’m sorry ;_; )
Later we got over to the autograph room, because it was the last chance to get an autograph of Jensen and Misha. Once again I had to tell the Angel Pass - toilet story (duh) and once again the boys liked my canvas *happy²*
When we got over to Misha’s table, I pulled out the only remaining mini-pack of gummybears.
typo: I want my gummybears back!
Misha: *looking up from signing something* … no.
Me: But they belong to her.
Misha: So?
Me: … okay, you know what? We trade! You get these *shows him the small pack* and give her back the other ones…
Misha: Nope.
And then he grabbed the small pack with an inhuman speed and threw it behind his table.
We were just standing there, our mouths wide open in shock… THAT MAN IS FASTER THAN HIS OWN SHADOW XDDD~
I just grinned then and said:
"Well, it’s a good trade for you, at least."
And he just smiled back and said something like:
"You can say that again!"
When we were finished, we actually didn’t really know what to do next. There was the second auction with Jensen and Jason, but it was over an hour until then… so we headed back to the main hall and saw that Jake’s panel was on. So we sat down and listened to the questions he was asked.
At some point, Andrea interrupted Jake and told the audience, that this would be the last chance to get an autograph from Jensen. And that was the moment I kinda began to like Jake Abel. He immediately jumped off his chair and ran to the exit, shouting “Oh my god, I need my Jensen autograph!”
LOOOOL XDDD~ And just when he had sat down again, Andrea said, that it’d be also the last chance for getting a Misha autograph - and Jake jumped up again and ran to the exit, shouting: “Oh my god, Mishaaaaa~!!”
It was really funny and I kinda like the guy now… still don’t like his character though… :P
Afterwards it was time for Jim’s second panel and of course we participated, too. So, when he was finished, typo and I got outside to stand in line for our spontaneously bought Richard Photo Ops. And once again I didn’t know, what to do… so when it was my turn, I just decided to leave it up to him.
Me: Hey, Richard!
Richard: Heeeey, how are you doing?
Me: Fine, thanks!
Richard: So… what do you wanna do?
Me: Mhh… dunno… something crazy maybe?
And then he looked at me for a split second and held his arms right before his body… I didn’t even have the chance to say or do something - the next thing I know is that I’m on his arms, grinning like a maniac into the camera.
When I got outside I was like… floating around… so incredibly happy but somehow felt guilty, because he had Becky on his arms before and I somehow felt bad about doing the same… but hey, it was Richard’s idea, not mine ;)
After that typo and me went back to the main hall, where Jensen and Jason were on stage. It was planned to be an auction for the second signed painting but it ended up being another Q/A panel with Jensen XD So when we got in, typo suggested, I could ask Jensen the same question I asked Jim on Saturday. Why there was no reference about Sam getting out of the panic room between 5x14 and 5x16.
So she headed to her seat, while I stood in the very short line in front of the microphone (the line on the other side was too friggin long but the at one at the entrance were only 2 people in front of me XD)… so after a few minutes it was my turn and I asked him the question - and he too didn’t know the answer to it. He really tried to but he just couldn’t XD In the end he looked at me, looking seriously dazed, saying:
“Okay, I’m confused now…”
LOL XD Sorry, soooo sorry, Jensen! I didn’t wanna confuse you… just go and ask Kripke, pretty please! He should know…
But now I can say: "I confused Jensen Ackles!" - YAY ME!!
After that I didn’t want to go to my place, because it was too crowded and I met Lena at the side of the room, so we stayed there, watching the panel from there. At some point Andrea said, that the next question was going to be the last… and that’s when it happened…
This one girl, which everyone now loves, stepped forward and asked:
“Since you and Jason are on stage together… could you sing something for us?”
Well… here’s the video showing his reaction… his answer…
Jensen and Jason singing "The Weight" from The Band
I still can’t really… put this experience into words… every expression just can’t seem to cover the full emotional range I was feeling… I think the most suitable word describing it would be… magical.
Lena and me held hands, hugged, kept muttering: “That’s impossible” during the whole thing… tears were running down my cheeks and I clung on to Lena. I’m so grateful that I wasn’t alone at that moment because if I were, I would’ve most probably fainted and turned this into a drama instead of a celebration. When Jensen sang the last words of the final verse and held the guitar over his head triumphantly, we knew that this was special. We knew, that this was his way of showing his gratitude, his love towards the fans.
The people who know Supernatural and its actors for a longer while, understand what I’m talking about... Jensen doesn’t sing... ever! He showed up at one of Jason’s concerts few years back and sang the second voice but you couldn’t really hear his voice because he was so far away from the microphone. Other than that he only did the second voices on the recordings of some songs of Jason Manns, Steve Carlson and some other musician buddies of his.
So... Jensen doesn’t sing... but on April 4th he took Jason’s guitar and he played “The Weight” for us and he sang. The first voice.
It was Jason who did the background singing this time and it was Jensen’s big show.
The applause didn’t seem to end and the whole audience jumped off their seats, giving them standing ovations. Every face you looked at was wet with tears and so deeply moved, that it was scary and pitiful at the same time…
It took a long time until we could manage to get a grip of ourselves and follow the crowd outside the main hall. We still held hands and were shaking our heads in disbelief. Typo and Becky came out after us and once again we hugged and shared our amazement…
I don’t care what others think about that… I can’t describe how Jensen made all of us feel at that moment and I can’t put into words how grateful I am for being part of this amazing event… once again:
I’m positive, that this was Jensen’s way of telling us ‘thank you’ and ‘I love you’ and for that I will always be thankful.
I’m still shaking and kinda breathless, even thinking about this moment and I don’t think this will stop anytime soon… and I hope it won’t…
Well… how do I continue with my report after telling you about this? But I will try…
So we tried to catch our breath again and returned to the main hall, because the hardest part was going to come… the Closing Ceremony of the Convention. When everyone was on their seats, Andrea came on stage and said, that all the guest would come on stage to say their goodbyes. Well, except for Jared, that is… so Jensen, Misha, Jim, Richard, Traci, Jake and Jason came to stage.
Andrea then told Misha, that he would have to auction the second painting to the audience and I guess the starting bid about 2000 € was a joke… but Misha obviously took it seriously and started shouting: “2000 €, 2000 €” like a maniac. In the end, Stephanie bought the painting for 2100 € (!!!) and Andrea told the organizers to come to stage. So Daniela, Chiara and Franscesca came up and were given a heartfelt standing ovation. They also got some beautiful canvas paintings of themselves, which even made them cry tears of joy.
After that, everyone of the guests could say a few words to the audience. Of course the funniest was Misha!
Rattatatatataaaa mille grazieeeee
He just blabbered random stuff which sounded italian but really wasn’t XD
You can’t see it in this video but Jensen totally cracked up while Misha was talking XDDDD~ Here are the things, the other guests said:
Jake: Grazie, even if you left my panel to go get an autograph of him *pointing to jensen*
Audience: loool
Jensen: XDDDD - Thank you for leaving his panel to go get an autograph from me *pointing to jake*
Audience: LOOOL
Jensen: Thank you for being… one of the best crowds we could ever ask for […] it was so wonderful and… I can’t wait to come back!
Audience: *freaking out*
Jim: I can only agree with what Jensen says. You guys have been the most amazing crowd, the most amazing loving fans and… Vielen Dank, Spasiba, Merci beaucoup - MILLE GRAZIE!!
Audience: *freking out once again*
Traci: Thank you for NOT leaving my panel!
Jensen: LOL XD
Traci: We’ll be back! Keep watching Supernatural, we LOVE you!! We love you!!
After that the guests left the stage and no one really could move… we were almost like frozen to the spot… but typo and me had bought another additional Photo Op, this time with Traci, so we had to hurry to get in line. And once again I still didn’t know what to do in my Op (you might’ve noticed that I don’t like boring, simple smile pictures ^^) but once I got into the room, I just had this idea and Traci luckily understood what I wanted to do and… yeah… so this picture was being taken <3
We hang out a little longer downstairs, waiting for our photos to be ready, talking to others, still floating around due to Jensen’s singing… some girl had filmed it and we were sitting in the merchandise room, watching the vid over and over. Finally we pulled ourselves together and headed upstairs to - once again - change clothes and get ready for the last item on our agenda: the concert of Steve Carlson. Typo and I went to the Airport to finally having some dinner (after 3 days without food, a bunch of McDonald fries seemed like the best thing ever XD)
So this time we went downstairs a little earlier and came in time for the concert. Unfortunately the seats were a little different than the last two days but we managed, that me, typo, Becky, MA and Krista could sit next to each other in one row.
I really liked the concert and Steve’s music and most of all - Darren Sher, the keyboarder just ROCKED THE STAGE!! As Becky said: what this man does to the keyboard should be illegal in some states!! But I have to say, the speakers were a little too loud in my opinion so it wasn’t as good as it could’ve been… but anyway… afterwards we went outside and took a picture with Andrea
and with Darren
and after that we went to the Hotel bar and partied all night (since we had no other appointments at the next day)…
And yeah... I guess, this is it, guys… this is the final report… at least concerning the con itself… I will post an Epilogue kinda thing tomorrow… about Monday, because we stayed until Tuesday afternoon and there was still some epic shit going on (at least on Monday) - so stay tuned for another report in the next few days ^^
All the best
Thank you for all the support and the nice comments you sent me, I’m so happy I could make you at least feel good in a way.

I’m still shaking and kinda breathless, even thinking about this moment and I don’t think this will stop anytime soon… and I hope it won’t…
Well… how do I continue with my report after telling you about this? But I will try…
So we tried to catch our breath again and returned to the main hall, because the hardest part was going to come… the Closing Ceremony of the Convention. When everyone was on their seats, Andrea came on stage and said, that all the guest would come on stage to say their goodbyes. Well, except for Jared, that is… so Jensen, Misha, Jim, Richard, Traci, Jake and Jason came to stage.
Andrea then told Misha, that he would have to auction the second painting to the audience and I guess the starting bid about 2000 € was a joke… but Misha obviously took it seriously and started shouting: “2000 €, 2000 €” like a maniac. In the end, Stephanie bought the painting for 2100 € (!!!) and Andrea told the organizers to come to stage. So Daniela, Chiara and Franscesca came up and were given a heartfelt standing ovation. They also got some beautiful canvas paintings of themselves, which even made them cry tears of joy.
After that, everyone of the guests could say a few words to the audience. Of course the funniest was Misha!
Rattatatatataaaa mille grazieeeee
He just blabbered random stuff which sounded italian but really wasn’t XD
You can’t see it in this video but Jensen totally cracked up while Misha was talking XDDDD~ Here are the things, the other guests said:
Jake: Grazie, even if you left my panel to go get an autograph of him *pointing to jensen*
Audience: loool
Jensen: XDDDD - Thank you for leaving his panel to go get an autograph from me *pointing to jake*
Audience: LOOOL
Jensen: Thank you for being… one of the best crowds we could ever ask for […] it was so wonderful and… I can’t wait to come back!
Audience: *freaking out*
Jim: I can only agree with what Jensen says. You guys have been the most amazing crowd, the most amazing loving fans and… Vielen Dank, Spasiba, Merci beaucoup - MILLE GRAZIE!!
Audience: *freking out once again*
Traci: Thank you for NOT leaving my panel!
Jensen: LOL XD
Traci: We’ll be back! Keep watching Supernatural, we LOVE you!! We love you!!
After that the guests left the stage and no one really could move… we were almost like frozen to the spot… but typo and me had bought another additional Photo Op, this time with Traci, so we had to hurry to get in line. And once again I still didn’t know what to do in my Op (you might’ve noticed that I don’t like boring, simple smile pictures ^^) but once I got into the room, I just had this idea and Traci luckily understood what I wanted to do and… yeah… so this picture was being taken <3
We hang out a little longer downstairs, waiting for our photos to be ready, talking to others, still floating around due to Jensen’s singing… some girl had filmed it and we were sitting in the merchandise room, watching the vid over and over. Finally we pulled ourselves together and headed upstairs to - once again - change clothes and get ready for the last item on our agenda: the concert of Steve Carlson. Typo and I went to the Airport to finally having some dinner (after 3 days without food, a bunch of McDonald fries seemed like the best thing ever XD)
So this time we went downstairs a little earlier and came in time for the concert. Unfortunately the seats were a little different than the last two days but we managed, that me, typo, Becky, MA and Krista could sit next to each other in one row.
I really liked the concert and Steve’s music and most of all - Darren Sher, the keyboarder just ROCKED THE STAGE!! As Becky said: what this man does to the keyboard should be illegal in some states!! But I have to say, the speakers were a little too loud in my opinion so it wasn’t as good as it could’ve been… but anyway… afterwards we went outside and took a picture with Andrea
and with Darren
and after that we went to the Hotel bar and partied all night (since we had no other appointments at the next day)…
And yeah... I guess, this is it, guys… this is the final report… at least concerning the con itself… I will post an Epilogue kinda thing tomorrow… about Monday, because we stayed until Tuesday afternoon and there was still some epic shit going on (at least on Monday) - so stay tuned for another report in the next few days ^^
All the best
