VanCon
It has come to my attention that there is a con in Vancouver in August.
Now, I live close to Vancouver. I could go.
This is a new thought to me. I'm new to the SPN fandom so I haven't really followed what's happened at other cons, and I definitely am not one of those who wathces endless youtube videos of their fav celebs, hunts down photos, or generally knows much about them. Not that I judge those who do - we all have different interests. I've just always been more comfortable with keeping a good distance between fantasy and reality. I sometimes find it somehow trivialises the power of art for me to see too much about how it's made, and what's behind it. It can be the opposite, too - I've seen "the making of" of things that I really enjoyed.
The photo ops and the autograph sessions are sold out, but I could buy a ticket for any of the days, either unreserved or reserved seat. But - for what? To be able to say that I've been in the same room as these famous celebrities? The thought makes me feel like a teenage fangirl. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I just have a hard time reconciling that with the me I have in mind.
Especially if I want to read and write J2 now that the two Js are married. And not to each other. It just feels - wrong.
I need to think about this some more. Anyone going to VanCon???
