VEGAS CON - Sunday - another mind blowing day! Monday...oh dear.
Sunday was incredible. Again, we stumbled upon people out in public spaces: Tahmoh, this time. And were at the very head of the line for Mark Sheppard's photo op so saw Misha's antics up close as he finished up his session. Top of the list, though, was our photo op -- my first ever -- with J2. I was so nervous I had to kind of disassociate to get through it - weird as that sounds! Right after, I'm like: "Wait! Did he touch me? Did I touch him? I don't remember!" I had a strange 10 minutes of feeling dazed, then sat down and burst into tears. I guess that's understandable, right? I had just stood there, next to the worldly embodiment of Sam and Dean -- as close as we'll ever get to those characters in this realm. I felt totally overwhelmed, and elated, and griefstricken, and a bunch of mixed up stuff. So much you wish you could tell them that you'll never get to, you know? But also - just overjoyed. In the photo I look REALLY happy. (I was next to Jensen and my BFF was next to Jared.) I didn't even really LOOK at them - so overcome was I. Wow.
After that, we had the JDM panel - he was amazing, so blown away by the whole Con experience. Then Jared and Jensen put on a fantastic panel of their own. We ended our evening with Tahmoh (who my BFF and I have loved since Battlestar Galactica), and then a Jason Manns concert. Gods, he has a gorgeous voice. We had hoped Jensen might show up there, and it appeared he had meant to. But the concert got pushed back a bit, the boys had to get on their plane, and Jared was a little bit sick... so it didn't happen.
In any case, this Con was such a high point...! I am so grateful that somehow the fates aligned so that I could be here. I'm a bit fearful of the let-down that is inevitably coming as Real Life very quickly rears its demanding head. But for this morning... I'm just going to be grateful and bask in the afterglow.
