*Happy sigh* What a great write up, thanks so much! I love reading people's con stories, and now I'm even more excited about my upcoming cons! Not long now...
Birmingham for three days (with 2 days of J2), then home for a day before flying to Rome for a week - JIBLand 3 days and JIB9 for three days plus our Monday night concert. Then I'm home for a couple of days before going back to Birmingham for the new Starfury SPN con! No J2 at the Starfury one though, so it'll be much lower key.
Wow, theses reports were so detailed!!! Thank you so much for sharing all this and your pics with us.
I'm going to Birmingham in the UK May which will be my first con - did you take notes for these reports? I might like to do something similar if I can (although I doubt they'd be as detailed as these!)
When a panel ends, if there is time before the next one, I jot down the things that made the biggest impression on me. Otherwise I do it at the first chance I get. Where I usually have a problem is putting things in the right order, so I always add a disclaimer that it's from memory and I don't guarantee everything is exact. Sometimes before I actually type things up I check the con twitter feed and find the panel summaries to make sure I didn't miss something special.
For these J2 panels I actually watched the videos because I wanted to re-live the fun anyway, and I could put the questions in the right order.
One of my other LJ friends is going to Birmingham from Romania for her first con--maybe you can say hi to her, she is in seat T47 and her name is Ana!
Thank you so much for these tips. I think taking notes and then backing that up with vids and tweets etc is a great idea. It's definitely something I'd like to do.
Yes, I touched based with Ana, so hopefully I'll be able to meet up with her (I need to make a list of seat numbers) It's all very exciting and nerve-wracking. I can't believe that it's this close already!!!

The JIB cons always seem to give us a different side of the boys--I love seeing the vids from them!

And it so much fun to be able to share my love of SPN with my daughter, who just came into the madness a couple years ago. :)

I love Ruth. She is so cute and funny. I'm not a fan of Rowena, but I do adore Ruth.
