Supernatural's Vancouver con: in which we learn that Misha is a whore (among other things)

[cosmicviolet]

So I went to the Vancouver Con and I've had a week or so to gather my notes and put this report together. I didn't do it before now because I had no internet during the con and, uh, I procrastinate a lot. :P Please note that this is very long (brevity is not my strong point) and mostly from memory, so I may have left things out or reported them

I'd probably be spending a lot of time in H&M if there was one in my town. I guess I need to make it over to Vancouver more often. :)

Yeah, I took notes, and I watched a few vids from other people to refresh my memory for stuff I wasn't sure about. When you're in the moment, sometimes you miss things and people were laughing so loud that it could be hard to hear.

I love how protective they are with each other. Jensen was immediately like, "Next question!" but Jared said, "No, I'd like to answer that." And then after, Jensen said, "Good answer, Jared." :)

Lots of good info, especially about Jim Beaver's panel.
Thanks! Yeah, I'm surprised there isn't more info out there about Jim's panel. Plenty of stuff about Jared and Jensen, but very little about Jim. The poor guy was doing photo-ops and signings until well past midnight, and his panel ended at 6:30, so he was definitely generous with his time.

And Jensen has a lame excuse for not driving a sportscar, especially if Jared has a Corvette.
Ha, well, there's a little more to the story. Jensen borrowed Jared's Corvette for the weekend once to drive up to Whistler, and he said that a car like that is built to go go fast (it's a race car, after all), so it was really hard to resist speeding the whole way. Plus he probably didn't want all the tickets if he were to do that. So to resist the temptation, he drives a truck that isn't capable of the same speed. I think that says something about Jensen, though, that he drives that. It shows that he's down to earth and practical and not flashy. And Jared is, well, the opposite. :P Which seems to fit with what we know about their personalities.

I think one of things I don't like about cons (having thought about it) is that I have a sort of embarrassment squick. It looks bad when people ask odd questions, or act weird, because then the cast is likely to think we're all like that, and I feel bad that they have to see that. Plus, there have been so many cons within a short amount of time that the same questions tend to be repeated over and over and the guys have probably run out of interesting stories to tell. But, I'd love to meet you at a con! If you come to Vancouver next year, that might convince me to go... ;)

Ok, ok, I have to admit, Jensen is right about the sports cars. Now that I drive a sedan, I drive about 20 miles slower than I did when I drove a coupe ;) I know, the streets are a more grateful place.

I'd love to go to the Vancouver con, but the gold passes are already sold out :( Still, I'll keep working at it and I hope to meet you one day too :)

Well, if it helps, I don't think there's a huge difference between the gold and silver/preferred tickets, at least in terms of where you're sitting. The room isn't that big. And there were a few empty seats in preferred, so I was able to sneak up closer for some panels. Or you could get a general admission ticket and purchase the photo ops and autographs separately, but depending on how many you want, that'll probably be expensive. I think that's what I would do though.
