So I'm sure you all know, now, that Jared did this interview with a girl whilst at the Sydney con. And it was an awesome interview. And you can watch it
here. So I went and ripped it and you can download them here:

Well! I got online this morning to a msg from my friend Brett (who was at the con) who gave me
this link to the Official Video for Jared's Q&A. lol Honestly? 45 mins? I haven't watched it. But I saved to my computer. lol Will watch it later. :D 100MB *giggles*
Watched the "Preair" episode of
Leverage that's floating around the internets. As a massive fan of
Chris Kane, it was a must watch, but I wasn't expecting much. But I LOVED it! The characters are all likeable with their terribly twisted psyches. Watch it people!!! I cannot wait for the series to show (so I can download it. *hehe*).
Anyway, Brett came around the other day. Tuesday. Fresh home from Sydney. Bah. He sent me a couple txts while up there. All, "Jared's pretty" and such. *glares* BAH! Got me and our friend Ness autographed pics though. So when he was getting them signed the conversation of being from out of town came up. Emphatically stated that Melbourne was better and he should come visit :D Jared seemed eager. And then when he got his photo taken with Jared (which I won't show you guys because... well, I'll explain later), Jared mentioned that Brett was TALL. And I was all, "Umm...?" And Brett pointed out he was actually 6'2. And I was all, "Really? That's an inch taller than Jensen!" So, yes. When Jared's used to standing next to fangirls, of course Brett was tall. *giggles*
He went told me a bit of what else he was getting up to. He went to the start of Jared's Q&A, but there were a tonne of people, as you all knew. And given the sheer numbers who were there simply for Jared, well, he went and took that opportunity to go meet other people who's lines were suddenly MUCH shorter! :D He was with a friend, so yeah... I don't know... They're both geeks, ok? lol. He went to meet
Jewel Staite for the third or forth time. Went to get a photo and finally is happy! Apparently the other three were crappy. Either him. Or her. Or both of them. He's happy now. And she recognised him. *rolls eyes* Apparently him and Ness were at a Melbourne con dressed up as Simon and Kayley. *hehe* (I did mention they were geeks, right? These are my Browncoat friends after all!)
So I mentioned the sheer number of people who were there for Jared, right? He was saying it was clear that there were a LOT of people there who had clearly never been to a con in their LIFE before. And Jared? After all the expenses and stuff brought in $20 000 profit! Needless to say, this was an eye-opener to those who were running the con and they'll be seeking out more big-name actors for future Supernovas. They'll definitely be attempting to get Jensen (along with Jared, if they can get him back) next year. Or, well, SOMEONE big name. Given the amount that they made from his presence.
And, yeah. The other 2/3 crowds of convention runners are after both boys still... It's been what? 3 years now? They've been trying to get them. So clearly November's out. But, hey, maybe they could get them for December! *wishes hard* Or... *sighs* next year. *pouts* But again, to get them to both Sydney and Melbourne would be pushing it... It's the whole week between that they have to keep them accommodated. But, hey! I dream that they'd want to do some sight-seeing together! *giggles* That'd be awesome.
Oh, Brett mentioned the VIP-Pass people kept getting cut in front of him in the lines? *glares* He got pretty pissy about that. Because the line of other people (which he was in) didn't budge and inch. Which was pretty sucky. How they did it. And the photo ops? They gave 10 seconds per person. *shakes head* Yeah. I think the VIP-Pass people again scored with that. *hand waves* Also, Brett mentioned that Jared actually spent VERY little time with the fans, doing autographs, etc. Other people (ie. Jewel Staite) were signing/doing photographs all day both Saturday and Sunday. So our boy? He got off easy. Anyway...
Well, ok, the photo! *giggles* So Brett's 6'2. Slouches. Next to Jared... Imagine it. (because I've kinda not promised, but said I won't share it... cos of what I'm about to say...) Imagine a J2 AU. Fanboy!Jensen coming to see Jared. Getting his photo taken!!! **was talking about putting Jensen's photo in said picture which completely freaked Brett out** And then it was pointed out that there is already
fanboy!Jared. *giggles* But, yeah... I was looking at the photo of Brett and Jared and thinking that there is a slightly strange expression on Jared's face. And I was imagining that Jared was thinking of and missing Jensen. Woe :( And generally having various terrible fantasy-type thoughts of Jared missing Jensen... *giggles*
You know what? I'm happy to say I'm not regretting missing the con. I had a great weekend actually. And had Francis to take care of.
