Con Summary
I want to compile tidbits that I remember from each panel that I attended (I actually tried taking notes on my phone, but autocorrect kept trying to fix my shorthand, so now I have a list of notes that barely make any sense at all ^^;;)
Mostly, I just wanted to share this 1-hr audio recording of the J2 panel. The quality is pretty good (i.e. I was able to listen to it and catch a few comments that I couldn't make out during the actual panel), so, idk, download it if you want it for your own listening pleasure. ;)

eta: I've uploaded the videos that weren't terribly shaky and had funny content. Please note: 1) I took these videos from the second-to-last row and I had to resort to the optical zoom on my camera; 2) but I stayed super quiet so no screams or laughter was emitted directly into the microphone of the camera. ;)
+ Misha laughing about his character in The French Mistake and his manager's reaction to the character
+ Since Jared and Jensen made him laugh so much, Misha asked for two stand-ins
+ Clif making finger-puppets on the screen and Jensen running backstage and coming back with two long tubes
+ Jared and Jensen fooling around with the tubes
+ Jared hugging Jensen (I still can't remember what the original question was ;;;; Note that the hug takes place during the first 5 seconds of the video -- the rest of the video is super shaky, and I kept focusing my camera on Jensen because there was a head obstructing my view of Jared, idk why I kept filming ;;;;;)

This is a pretty comprehensive summary of the panels (again, I envy those who can tweet and listen at the same time!).
This is all I've got from my mish-mash of notes:
Amy's panel:
+ Jared and Jensen made her laugh before scenes with talk (or photos? can't remember!) of Jared's dog's anal glands (IDEK)
Corin's panel:
+ He was amused by Jared and Jensen riding the mini-bikes (with their knees tucked up to their shoulders) from the set to their trailers, which was all of 25 feet away.
+ He was challenged to wrestle by a 6' dude in full Klingon costume at a Trek convention. He ran away and came across a whole hot tub of Klingons speaking Klingon to each other and being serenaded by Flash Gordon.
Traci and Richard's panel:
+ Traci split the audience into three groups ("pudding", "assbutt", "pie") and led everyone in a chant while she played the drums.
+ Richard came in much later with a huge cup of coffee, probably nursing a hangover from the karaoke party from the night before. ;)
+ According to Traci, kissing Jensen was like sucking on a Jolly Rancher. At a con in Europe, her comment was translated into "kissing Jensen was like sucking on a jolly rancher", much to her chagrin. Richard said: "So, basically, kissing Jensen was like blowing a farmer."
Misha's panel:
+ He jokes that Castiel would come back as a piece of hair on Sam's face and as Sam goes to shave it, Dean will stop him. Misha goes on to explain that Dean will talk to the piece of facial hair that is Castiel, but Castiel would not be able to talk back.
+ Apparently, he fights like a wimp and had to get trained by martial arts instructors in LA.
+ He was severely sick (food poisoning) during the filming of 7x01 and parts of the Leviathan!Cas scenes were filmed with a stand-in (who apparently made some strange blocking choices).
+ Misha will not be back for at least ten episodes.
+ When asked if West would grow up to become an actor, Misha said that given the development of his personality, he was likely to grow up to be an eater of rock/moss/dried pieces of cat shit.
Clif's panel:
+ Clif was Tiny before he was J&J's bodyguard; he was hired on as a bodyguard after Season 3, during hiatus.
Jared and Jensen's panel:
+ Someone asked Jensen what Dean did with Castiel's trench coat. Jared immediately picks up his shirt (or his tuque? D: can't remember!) and starts rubbing it against his face and sniffing it exaggeratedly.
+ Clif did little hand gestures behind one of the large screens -- Jared and Jensen caught on after the audience started staring and laughing. Jensen went behind the stage and came back with two long tubes (poster tubes...?) and waved them around menacingly. He and Jared both popped their mikes into the tube and fooled around with them.
+ Jared gets up and hugs Jensen! (I think this was a response to the question about best moment or something...?)
Richard's panel:
+ Something about which TV show he would've liked to be on (something to do with Changing Channels); fan suggests Charlie's Angels. Richard suggests Chuck's Angels, featuring Michael, Castiel, and Gabriel.
+ A teeny little girl asks Richard what his favourite episode was; Richard turns the question on the little girl and she says, "Rabbit foot."Richard: "And what's that one about?" Little girl (with a high innocent voice): "If you have the rabbit foot, you're unlucky. And if you lose the rabbit foot, you die."
Julian's panel:
+ Julian was adorable, completely unsure of how the panel worked. He apologized for being a bad host.
+ He's working on the new Superman movie.
...and that's all I've got. My dark and blurry pictures probably aren't worth posting, but I'll go through my J2 and Misha panel videos to see if there's anything particularly awesome that I feel compelled to share. ;D
