AECon2 - My Thoughts and Experiences with few Photos - Part 4
Again I won’t talk about what was said at the panels. It’s just about my thoughts and experiences.

Mark & Richard
They are sooo entertaining when they are on stage together. Real profis but also fan themselves!
They are not safe for us fans. Be aware! Ask good questions! If not, well you could risk ending on the “Hot Seat”!
Even Doug is not safe!
But they are two sweet cuties. And at the end, we still love them.
Thought: Could it be that all SPN-Actors are big huggers?!
At their autographs, nothing special happened. Like with Jensen, it was kind of rushed, polite (well, with Mark no smile or eye contacts, which was a big disappointment for me since I like him so much) and impersonalized autographs.
At this point I really missed the flair of AECon1. I'm sorry to say it: the Js make a Con somehow less enjoyable for me. Is it me or could it also be that the AECon rules are much more stringent?
Brock
If I’m not wrong Brock attend to 4 Cons before this one. He is still so uncomfortable on stage. And when he was walking in the hallway, it was like he was trying to hide. He is sweet and shy. I’m sure, like Jensen did over the years he will learn to be more self-confident with us. And we have to admit, we were a little bit hard on him. But he was good sport and he sang! He for sure won our SPN-Family heart doing it. It was painful as he said but I’m sure after this, he’ll manage his panel better.

His autograph was a nice moment. He is really soft spoken. I gave him the picture with Colin Ford from the companion Book Season 4. He smiled genuinely at it. He looked up and smiled at me; he signed it and gave me the book back.
Then he asked me if I had a Twitter. I said yes and he wanted to give me one of his small pink post-it with his twitter address on it (which he gave everyone)! I said I didn’t need it. News spread fast within SPN-Family and I got it already during A6.
Brock: “Oh, ok!”
Me: “Well, now you have to twit!”
Brock: *Nicked his head slightly on the left side and smirked*
Me: “Bye” and I left.
Fred
I wasn’t long at his panel with Brock and during the second I was queuing for Jason, Mark and Richard autograph.
He hung out a lot in the hotel and had occasionally a smoke at the front of the hotel as well as the fans. He seems to be really friendly and nice to each person who came up to him.
I really like how he incarnated YED and I think he’s a fair actor. But I feel uncomfortable while seeing him in RL. I can’t describe it. I have also this feeling with Mark Pelligrino last year, but in a more *OMG, this guy is terrifying*
After Brock, I wanted to get Fred’s autograph before Jensen’s (the cherry on the pie at the end!), but as it was my turn, he took a break. So, I went for Jensen’s (see Post #3). As I went back to Fred’s line there he was, queuing in front of me. At first I didn’t notice. Then he said something (Something like: “What your guys are you waiting for?”) and I recognizing his voice I look up. He joked around a little and then went back to his seat. The personal encounter was uneventful.
Gen
Like I said, Jared told me she would be there for autographs on Sunday afternoon (Post #2).
Sometime, late in the afternoon, I heard she’ll do it and we could line up and pay when getting in. I think it is a great thing she did it. There are SPN-Fans who likes her and Ruby 2.0. For those who don’t, well they can just skip it. The line was fairly long, which I suppose Rogue didn’t really expect. So, we were queuing as at some point groups of Rogue staff and the bodyguard(s?) surrounding Jared and Gen walk from the green room to the room where the CL took place. It’s a short way and with the line it was quite confine. But as always, the fans were great. Gen was on Jared’s left side. Jared as always was gorgeous, smiling and waving us and clearly happy to see all of us. Gen was all smiles and waved at us and said some shy “Hi”. She is for sure not a classical “Hollywood” beauty but she is really pretty. Even if she is thin and small, she irradiates strength. It surprised me since many reports I read describe her as “fragile”. I didn’t have vibe at all. Many SPN-Fans will disagree with me. That’s ok, that’s just my opinion.
Jared and Gen were together in the room. Many of the fans had the opportunity to talk with them. It was going well. Sincw they took time to chat with each one, it was running late! Jared had to be on time for the J2 panel. Just before me +/- 5 fans. A woman from the staff talk to us: No chatting. No personalization! Damn! At this point Jared went out and went back to the green room where, I suppose, Jensen was staying/waiting. He waved again at us and said we should be nice to her and we should let her come whole back to him! Jared, please don’t say this never again. We won’t eat her alive. If we are standing here, it is not to steel/bash her! Some will make some bad comments about what I’m saying. I’ll say, I understand. Everyone has the right of his/her opinion.
Did I said, he looked gorgeous!? He is really beautiful and I LOVE how he moves. He has an amazing way to walk like a panther and, if truth be told he is not like the sun, he is the sun *Jared!Girl shameless exaggerating*. The hallway went still but hot as hell as he walked by! Or it is just me?! I don’t care. It is what I felt. *Me, ice cube melting under the sun* I’m sad he left before I went in. I would have loved to see him again.
I came in and it was all “Please, hurry”. J2 panel was 15 minutes later and they wanted to get it wrap up.. Gen was so sweet. I came to her with my former signed Sam/Jared picture from my Companion Book Season 4. She saw it and smiled. I said: “It’s so great to have you here!”. She answered “Thanks for having me here”. I said of course, you’re part of Supernatural. I wished her all the best and further a great time in Europe. She answered she will and loved Europe. She is really a nice woman. That’s my assessment: she was nice and as it seems to me enjoying being there and I was please to see so many of us queuing for her. One remark: I do not get her shoe-taste. Actually I don’t get the shoe taste of most of the actresses and some American girls! I saw some of them walking up to “le Sacré Coeur” in Paris with high heels almost breaking their legs! It seems, it HAVE to be high heels! I don’t get it! But it’s OT!
Okay, I think this all I’ve got for today. I will certainly write down some AECon2-“left-over”. I’m surprised I still can remember so much after one month! Maybe I’ll find the time to write down my memories of AECon1.
You made it to the end of this post! Thanks + Bonus:
Even the shadow of Jared is making my Jared!Girl heart beat faster! *facepalm*
