Hey you guys... sorry it took me so long (a whole fucking month) but I'm still suffering from a) post-convention-depression and b) THE FUCKING COLD MISHA PASSED ON TO ME!!!
My voice has been literally GONE and I've been either coughing like a smoker or swallowing pain pills because the coughing gives me BAMF headaches -_- So sorry, I wasn't as concentrated as I wished I was the last few days... also I kinda realized that it's fucking exhausting a) taking a shitload of notes during the panels and b) writing them down later... that's why I decided to still write reports in the future but don't write down EVERYTHING that's been asked in the panels. I hope you can accept that! So let's get going!!
Saturday started with a bit of a downer - the day before we had our breakfast in the normal lounge but on Saturday morning Ms I-forgot-MJs-tea aka BITCH told us to go to the other breakfast room and I was REALLY terrified. Last year the food there was just horrible, it was worse than dog food, and I'm not even kidding... fortunately they improved this year so the breakfast wasn't as bad as I feared it would be. Afterwards we went upstairs, got our stuff and then went to the main hall where the Opening Ceremony should start at 9.30 am.
Saturday
Opening Ceremony
So last year they had that huge easter egg, they broke it and threw candy in the audience - this year they had a basket and in there, all wrapped up and cozy, were several stuffed animals! So after Misha put the bow from the basket around his own neck, each of the guys got one stuffed animal and threw them in the audience - which was a lot better cause I think some ppl almost got hurt last year XD
I was a little disappointed, because I was already standing there in line, queuing for Misha's panel with MJ and some others and I only switched places with MJ, because she wanted to take photos of the ceremony - so of course she caught the stuffed animal Misha threw in our direction. Don't get me wrong, I'm not angry or pissed off because of some stuffed animal I was just a liiiiittle disappointed, you know? Okay, rant over XD
Misha Panel
So after everyone left the stage, they brought Misha back on and his first panel started. I had spoken to my friend Holly before, because she had gotten over to the other microphone and I wanted to ask my question first, so when Misha looked over to her, she told him about our deal and... well... here's how the conversation went:
Holly: I actually kind of promised she could ask her question first...
Misha: Did you make a deal?
Holly: Yeah, we made a deal.
Misha: How much did she pay you?
Holly: Well, she's a very, very good friend of mine, so we're gonna work it out later...
Misha: I see... woah... friends with benefits!? XD Yeah... nice! Score! Alright, well I don't wanna get in the way of that. I don't wanna cockblock you.
Well... what can I say... i was screaming at that moment XDDDD I needed a moment to pull myself together and then said that my first question was actually more of a challenge - I wanted him to answer every question in Castiel's voice... well... he said no (of course XD) and I called him a wuss!
But wait, you thought the embarassing first encounter was over? You thought wrong!
My second question was, if Supernatural was a Hollywood movie, which actors should play Dean, Sam and Castiel...
Misha: That implies that... Misha, Jared and Jensen are NOT Hollywood actors... as you well know we are Canadian actors! Not at all from Hollywood...
Me: I mean like... Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp or something...
Misha: Oh, you mean like GOOD actors, famous actors?!
So I noticed I was getting in way too deep with this I tried explaining what I meant - making everything worse XD
Me: I mean, if I tell somebody [at home] I'll see Misha Collins everybody's like „Who's Misha Collins“?
Misha: Okay, hold on... you know what? Don't feel like you have to flatter me, first thing - just ask the question straight out! So... *pointing at me* hold on for a second *pointing at holly* you go to the back of the line for letting her ask those questions!
Me: I didn't mean to insult you...
Misha: Yes you did.
In the end he released me by answering he would cast Renee Zellweger for Sam, Kate Moss for Castiel and Dakota Fanning for Dean.
Misha then talked about how hard it was for him and his wife to put their son West to bed, as normal lullabies just make them even more angry XD The only thing making him fall asleep was a singer called „Peaches“ (?!) who's lyrics are downright sexual and perverted XD Of course West likes this kind of music, he's Misha's weird son after all!
MJ asked him, if he could direct an episode of SPN what he would do and Misha said he would basically just put Dean and Sam in drag, even if it didn't make sense at all XD
Someone asked what he had in common with Castiel and he replied that they kind of have the same body (XD), also they're both a bit socially awkward - at that point he got off stage, invading the girls personal space XD
He then got asked about the kind of car Castiel would drive, if he could choose, and Misha said he would drive a Toyota Corolla Station Waggon and he would call it „Chariot“.
Someone asked him if he prefered Jensen or Jared which he didn't really answer, he just said he can't stand either of them XD In the end he wanted to give her some sort of prize for asking a question he couldn't answer and gave her a plastic cup (he told the organizers to put it on his tab, as it's very valuable XD)
The next girl had a shirt on saying „Misha Collins schools Chuck Norris how to be a badass“ and she asked how exactly he would do that. Misha said, he would start by treating him like a child, not allowing many bathroom breaks and teaching him American history and algebra. Also he noted that Chuck Norris was badass in the eighties, so saying that Misha was cooler than him would be like saying „Misha Collins is tougher than an elf“ XD
As it was very hot on stage, Misha took off his overshirt next and of course the audience started cheering, so he was like „Oh yeah, now I'm only wearing TWO shirts!“ to which someone replied with „Keep going“ and Misha laughed and said „Who do you think I am? Sebastian??“ XDDDD
A girl wanted him to say „Hello govenor, do you fancy a cup of tea?“ in a British accent, which he didn't really understand. She told him, that some people have a fetish for the British accent and he looked around in the audience and asked, who else had that fetish so of course I put up my hand. And as I was sitting in 3rd row or so, he spotted me and shouted „Ooooh, I know YOU'RE a pervert!!“ XDDDDDD
Later there was a girl on the microphone who was from Manchester and Misha asked her to say „Hello govenor, do you fancy a cup of tea?“ in her best Manchester accent, which she did and he sunk back on his chair and started moaning XDDD
That girl asked him, if he ever spent a night in a prison cell and Misha told us, that he once thought it would be a good idea to climb on the roof of a bank and read a book there, but said bank got robbed at the same time and he got arrested XD Also his mom got pulled over for speeding and she had weed with her, so she put it in the pants of Misha's younger brother and poor Sascha couldn't go to the toilet all the time they spent waiting in the prison cell - in the end he wet his pants but they didn't get caught and left with all the - very wet - weed XD Misha's family is so messed up!!
Also he once smoked an opium pipe at a friends place and wound up on top of a Billboard above Sunset Boulevard, throwing down water balloons at the cars XDD
Oh, and every time he took a sip out of his cup during the panel, he made weird faces and posed for those of us taking pictures XD
As Jared's photo op was happening at the same time, people went out and came back in the hall all the time and at one point Misha greeted them and told them that they missed some interesting, lifechanging stuff! „We laughed, we cried, it was very emotional!“ XDDD
Someone asked if he always dreamt of being on Supernatural and he joked, saying that yeah, even in his childhood, where SPN didn't even exist, he wanted to be part of it some day XDDD
He also told us that a Misha Collins cocktail would mainly contain tiger blood!!
At one point close to the end of the panel, Jensen showed up behind Misha and of course we wanted to cheer but he just put his finger to his lips and we actually kept silent and he went on stage, without Misha noticing XDDD Eventually Misha turned around and spotted Jen and we all cheered for them XD So Misha was like „How did you get them to be so silent?“ and Jensen showed him, which impressed Misha „God, they're obedient!“
Jensen Panel
Once Misha had left the stage Jensen welcomed us again and then said something like „He's so cute“ about Misha. Few seconds later Misha showed up again behind Jensen and tried to sneak up on him as well, but Jensen noticed. So at some point Misha was standing behind him and Jensen was like „I feel fine now because it's like an Angel is watching over me“ XD
He got asked whether he did any April Fools pranks and he said he forgot. But he once called his mom and told her, he got fired XDDD He promised that next year he's „gonna make sombody cry“...
He said that he doesn't like the emotional scenes on Supernatural, they're always hard to shoot. The producers obviously didn't tell him about all the crying that was going to happen later on the show („I didn't sign up for that!“) XD
He also revealed that episode 21 was very hard to shoot (I guess by now we all know why T_____T)
By then Jensen noticed the screen behind him and that it was a bit delayed so he started messing with it, like forming a dog-like figure with his hand and making barking sounds when HE was moving his hand, when the first screen showed it and then when the second showed it and so on and so on XD It was HILARIOUS!!!
Then some guy asked him to say „Son of a bitch“ in Dean's voice... it's so easy to please us fans, it's ridiculous XD
He was being asked how he manages to cry so beautifully all the time and he was like „I stab myself with a pen“ XDDD He also told us that on set the single tear he sheds almost every time is called OPT (One Perfect Tear) XD But he really prefers goofy episodes.
Someone asked if he would like to have a classic car like the Impala and he said no, because he already got one and all that ever happened was that the car stood in the garage and he never drove it XD
His heaven would be a never ending reliving of his favourite memories (like right now *awwww~*)
Then Jared entered the stage and brought a stuffed Zebra and giraffe with him. They were supposed to give them to fans whose questions they liked best later. They did a short ventriloquist session (Jensen interviewing the Mexican/Italian/French Zebra, which he named Bartholomew aka Bart) and Jared doing its voice. The giraffe was being named Francesco <3
Jared Panel
If they could go on a road trip Jensen would go with his dad and Jared would go with his mum, and he would love to go to England (London).
As usual it was very hot in the spotlights and the fans were like „strip“ so Jared replied „I could lose my shoe“ and of course the fans were bursting in laughter and Jared too got the reference („I lost my shoe“ XD)
Swap Meat was usually intended to be a Dean/Sam bodyswap episode and in an earlier script Sam (or the kid who possessed Sam's body) would've had to be on a dance floor, Saturday Night Fever style XDDD
Jared got a fan from somebody from the audience and he started fanning himself like a Spanish lady. An at some point he mistook the microphone for his fan XD
He was being asked about the coin bet he and Misha had and he told us that Misha couldn't believe that he „lost to a guy who didn't even go to college! He's tall and dumb and bumps into things!“ XDDDD In the end he told us that he put about 85,000 coins in his trailer, which is about 1oo kg of coins XD And Jared's dog Sadie was even afraid of entering his trailer, cause she kept sliding on the coins XD Also Misha had to go to at least 4 different banks to get this amount of small coins XDDDDDDD HE'S SO FUCKING NUTS!!!
---
At this point I left the room to get my Misha autograph. He signed my phone (and drew a beautiful flower on the back (beware of the irony XD)) and I apologized for the Hollywood question (and bribed him with gummybears) but he said it's okay, he was just messing with me (as usual) XD
So yeah, thank you e0wyn for taking notes while I was away <3
---
He said he loves playing dark characters (Lucifer, Meg...) even if he's a goofy guy.
He was being asked about pranks on set and he told us about the one time Misha had tried to move his car from the parking lot, the time they hid his keys and how Jensen and Jared sometimes just walk away when Misha's supposed to shoot a serious scene or just do funny faces or kick his ass or something.
When he was being asked if it's been hard to play soulless Sam he replied „molto difficile“ and also said the hardest part was not treating Jensen like a brother anymore (awwwwwwwwwww T_T)
Rob & Chad Panel
Rob said they sound like a comedy duo „Rob & Chad“ XD
If they could visit anyone else's heaven, Chad would visit Michael Jackson and Rob would visit James Dean.
Rob said that it's hard for him trying to live up to people thinking he's God, so he was like „I'm just a guy *sniff* ;_; “
He also didn't realize he was supposed to be god until some guys on set greeted him like „So, you're god, huh?“ and he was like „O_O uhm... uh... YEAH!! SURE!!“ XDDD
I asked him if he could be God for a day, what would he do. He remembered me from the RH (*squeee~*) and then said he would like to fly, not high, just levitate a few meters above the ground, so he would be like „Hey guys... what's up? I'm god... just... flying around!“ XDDDDD
They were being asked if they would like to do a spin-off and they said they would love to call it the „Chuck & Ash Show“ and they would drive around the country on a motor cylce (and Chuck would be in the sidecar XDDD)
I asked if they ever got presents they really liked or really had a use for and Chad told us about the sign he got from my friend Chris at last year's AE convention. He even hung it on his door at home <3 Rob liked drawings and also kept some bracelets he wears now and then.
Sebastian Panel
He greeted everyone in the audience in as many different languages he could pull off (Italian, French, German, Polish...).
He told us that as a child he and his parents sailed around on the Mediterranean sea for like 6 years and that this really made him the man he is today.
There were many questions about rock climbing, which is one of his hobbies, where he likes to go etc.
He told us about the time he spent working with Kiefer Sutherland on 24 (hell, I didn't even remember him on that show... also: did everybody of SPN work at 24 before?! XD) and he said that he's very demanding, yet very nice!
He too was being asked about pranks on the set and he said that Jared sneaked up behind Jensen and put his hand on his leg so that Sebastion, who saw it, burst into laughter. Also Seb once dropped his pants but Jensen kept a straight face XDDDD
Seb kept impersonating other characters/people, like Jared and then Crowley and the Trickster, also said „Son of a bitch“ very often XD
He then confessed that he found the Js very pretty and literally said „If I was gay, I'd fuck 'em!“ XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Yeah right, Seb... IF you WERE gay... *cough* kissing Misha *cough* hugging Jensen *cough* ...
He would like to see an episode with Dean and Sam and Cas as women (he suggested „Mishette“ as Castiel's girl name XD)!
He also said that he loves all women, they're like a rainbow... which sounded a little bit gay XD He then said that he's totally for gay rights!!
Charity Auction
There was a short charity auction and they sold cups the Js and Misha drank out for a total of € 515.
Jared & Jensen Panel
Fans could donate small coins all weekend long but on Saturday in the J² panel the staff gave the bowl to them and told them to count them for them (which they refused to do XD)
Jared later kept wiping off the sweat with the giraffe, Francesco and then kissed it and suddenly was like „aah, it's FrancescAAA, Francesca :D“
The line „Fight the fairies“ was actually not in the episode, Jensen made that up!
Their favourite parts of Changing Channels was the CSI part. Jensen said he'd also like to get David Caruso's paycheck, because you didn't have to know how to act for that role XD Jared then did an impersonation of David Caruso's character, pulling off stupid one-liners XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Jensen: David Caruso can't act.
Jared: Yes, I can *putting on sunglasses*
Jensen: You have to say the line and then leave...
Jared: Don't tell me what to do *putting on sunglasses and leaving*
At some point Misha and Rob sneaked up to the sides and Misha hid and asked them what working with Misha Collins inspire them and how it made them hate themselves more XDDD He also had a weird accent because he was from „India-Russia“ which made Jensen burst into laughter XD
Jensen then said that he heard people from over there were not very attractive XD When they wanted to get him on stage, he just ran off and Jensen laughed „He's like 'goodbye :D'“
Later Jared as well noticed the delay on the screen and they kept goofing with it again (see the video below) and Jared was like „IT'S SUPERNATURAL!!!“
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlFaAfnWnPg (starts at about 2:22 min)
In the end Jensen was like: „This is what we like to refer to as shenanigans! Write that down.“
Jared's favourite season is season 4 (because Gen was in it, obviously <3), Jensen's is the very first season.
If they could give their characters some advice, Jensen would tell Sam to stay in the hotel room or go on a vacation to Maui or Barbados.
In „The French Mistake“ they had to act very badly and they said they asked themselves „How would Misha do it?“ XDDD
If they could choose another project for each other Jensen would do a new Twilight and Jared would do a Justin Bieber biography XDDD
Somebody asked where Castiel's handprint went and Jensen said that he believes, when Cas healed him the last time, he simply healed all the scars as well. But he doesn't know for sure. „Or my favourite: the writers just forgot!“ XDDD
Richard & Mark Panel
They were being asked about their first day on set and Mark told us that everyone on set uses words like supernaturalize and he didn't understand a word XD He also said that on his first day on set he kissed a guy... XD
Richard talked about the Cocktail Party and that people in Rome basically kissed him on the cheeks on the time. He was like „some people didn't go to the sexual harrassment seminar!“
If they had to make a short introductory clip for a dating website, what would they say? Richard said he would be like „Please, god, don't mention this to my wife!!“ XDDDD
At some point Richard started walking throught he aisle, handing out candy from the large bowl that stood on stage.
Richard got asked to say something with a British accent (he said „Bullocks“ and „They ate my tailor!“)
He also imitated Sebastian later on by simply opening his shirt XDDD
The first time they met each other on set, Richard wore his Casa Erotica mustache XD
Then Misha crashed their panel and asked them who's tongue was softer (Jim Beaver's or the one of the fat man) XD
Misha Photo Op
After the panel I got in the queue for Misha's photo op and for the first time I didn't really have a plan... so I got in and told him that this might be the last time we see each other and he was like "what? nah, don't believe you!" and I asked for something special (as always)... well... this is what I got...
I'm still not sure what he wanted me to do, maybe hug him from behind or hop on his shoulders? He didn't say anything... I'm kinda angry at myself, I could've done more but well... this is what I got... it's not my favourite photo op but it's still a picture of me and Misha ^-^ He stood up again and looked at me, again with this "you're kidding me, right?" expression and then hugged me T_____T *sobs* it was such a weird moment... when I walked out he shouted "I don't believe you, I'll be seeing you soon!!" *sobs harder*
Jason Concert
After the panel finished I got my Jensen autograph and then MJ and I went upstairs to change clothes and get ready for the Jason Manns concert. Jason played pretty much the same songs as always but it still had that cozy, wonderful family-like atmosphere and we all enjoyed it very much!
After the concert we stayed in the main hall a little longer, cause the staff had organized a Karaoke machine and Holly practically pulled/pushed me on stage and we sang „I would walk 500 miles“ together (you may know the song from „How I Met Your Mother“) … it was a wheeeee bit embarrassing, cause Jason was still sitting there on a table, selling and signing CDs but obviously Holly didn't care and so I had no choice XD We stayed a while and then went to the bar for a bit, before MJ and I went upstairs again. Dammit, we were so fucking tired all the time, it was embarrassing T_T I regret going upstairs so early all the time cause I'm sure we missed so much fun!!
MJ, here's a plan for Asylum 7 - we're staying up as long as everybody else!! Or at least as long as we possibly can, okay??? *hugs*
Well, I guess, that's a wrap! Saturday is done, „only“ Sunday to go (about 20 more pages full of notes... *sobs*) See you in a bit!!
