Last week, Jared cancelled his appearance at the SPN con in New Jersey this weekend, citing personal reasons. With his permission, Jensen shared what happened yesterday - he was a passenger in a

Glad he's okay but damn, this sounds terrifying. Definitely not what I expected when his appearance at the con was cancelled.

Creation being forced to switch up the panels and have one with Jensen and Misha was really nice (along with the former's solo panel) but they should do it more often when there's not a cancellation. We actually got some new, interesting info.

Damn, glad he’s okay! But seeing this makes me think, at what point do these cons stop? You have to think at least one of them is over it at this point.

[klutzy_girl]

There's cons scheduled through 2023 but hoping their contracts are up soon so they don't have to do this so many times a year now, especially since they're all getting other work.

And starting soon, they've teased that cast members from J2's other projects will start appearing at these cons too (like Keegan Allen, who's already been to one and just did photo ops).

This is going to sound like shade but it's not meant to be lol. A lot of the actors will milk this thing absolutely dry because they're jobbing actors who aren't getting this kind of pay check elsewhere. It'll stop when fan demand drifts off, which I would think will happen when J2 get tired of it - but even then, I would think they'll scale back rather than completely stop it because it's relatively easy money for them.

Totally agree. I also feel this about the Buffy cast still doing cons lol (And this is coming from a Buffy fan) And I noticed that Sarah is always missing from those, but she already has a steady income from the franchise lol.

But I do think that SPN has a lot of cons, almost as many as The Walking Dead.

Who was in the car? Jared and Jensen? Or Jensen just shared the info?

[klutzy_girl]

Only Jared was in the car, and Jensen shared the info.

i feel for him. as someone 3 weeks removed from a pretty bad wreck, airbags are an amazing invention but also are a biiiiitch. my chest is still super tender and sensitive. i just drove for the first time since the wreck this weekend and it made things hurt all over again lol.

most of all i miss my car. :(

Not airbags but I had a coworker in a car accident and later he showed us his seatbelt-shaped bruises. It's disturbing to see how hard you go against them in case of a crash that was a relatively safe one.

Airbags are fucking awful, I mean they’re GREAT and they’ll save your life which is the important thing but holy shit they’ll mess you up like nobody’s business.

Glad you’re mostly ok, what kind of car did you have?

Car crashes are no joke. I was rear ended in my lil baby civic years ago by a Tundra and the pain of the whiplash still makes me feel ill just by thinking of it. And my airbags didn’t even go off. Can’t imagine how rough you are feeling.

Car accidents are scary and sooo common, amazing how quickly your or another’s life can be in danger or end. Glad he’s recovering.

I always strive to be a safe and non distracted driver and I’ve had some really close calls from the increase in traffic in my city and how reckless others people can be. I’ve seen so many accidents lately and it was a good reminder to always try and be hyper aware of your traffic surroundings.
