agt_spookyHi all!
For those who didn't get to make it out to the Fangoria con this weekend in Chicago, thought I'd just say that we missed you! Those of us who were there all gathered at Maxie's inside the hotel today, where we proceeded to take over the upper part of the bar. :-)
Like the subject heading said, we may not have been able to see Jared, but we did get to meet each other and have a blast. At one point there must've been at least 30 of us in the bar - it was great! Folks brought in food (cupcakes, cookies and peanut M&M's) and there were nametags there that we filled out and wore, which was really nice, as we recognized names from here on LJ and we all made new friends.
The scrapbook for Jared turned out AWESOME. Many thanks to Marissa for taking over and taking charge of it. People said the funniest and nicest things to Jared - how much we missed him this weekend. I think he's really gonna love it. Marissa also brought a poloroid camera and snapped pics of all of us to include on our pages of the scrapbook, so Jared could see all the fans that were there for him. Great idea, Marissa!
And surprise, surprise, the autographed photos of Jared did arrive at the con for us and we nearly stampeded people to get in line to get ours. :-) Kudos to Jared for taking the time to do that for us. Love you, Jared!
We ended up being filmed by a guy from Fangoria as we were all gathered in the bar, and we all yelled and cheered for Jared. There's a good possibility that the video of that may become available to us, so keep your fingers crossed.
The bar had a jukebox that we basically took over as well, and proceeded to play as many songs that we could find on there that had been played on Supernatural - many times over. The most hysterical part was when REO Speedwagon came on and suddenly all 30 of us broke out into song - loudly. Everyone else in the bar was staring at us, but we didn't care as we belted out the lyrics and then clapped and yelled and laughed when the song was over. :-)
One of the funniest things that happened was the bartender agreeing to make us all Purple Nurples - and then delcaring it the drink special of the weekend! You should've heard the fangirl SQUEE. LOL! A bit later and we were all armed with our drinks (full size, not shots) and gave a big toast to season 3 of Supernatural, cause we know it's gonna happen! Down below is the group of us with our drinks. I'm the blonde in the front row with the maroon t-shirt on.
I couldn't stay as long as I would've liked, since a snow/ice storm was rolling into town and I had to drive home, but for the 4 hours I was there I had a really great time. We really did make the best of a bad situation and I'm glad I went.
I hope all of the rest of you that were there at our own little WinCon speak up and tell a story or two as well!
Here's a link to see the autographed photo I received

Date: 2007-02-26 02:26 pm (UTC)Yeah, I am, too. Had to show Creation that they couldn't completely ruin this for us.
Purple Nurples - YUM! I love coconut! *LOL* I must have one soon
Dude, you could've had mine! Yuck! LOL!
Jared's autograph is pretty scrawl-y
You should've seen some of the other pics. His signature was so big and scrawl-y it took up half the photo! But yeah, it's because he had to do like, a hundred of them ASAP to get them down here in time for the con.
I wasn't expecting the pic to have Jensen in it, either! Bonus! And oh yeah, we'll be taking it to Vancouver if we go!

I hope more people scan their's then!
I'd love to see a full pic scrawl! *LOL*

Date: 2007-02-27 02:38 am (UTC)LOL! It was total luck, I swear! When the announcement was made that the pics had arrived, we nearly stampeded down the hallway. I was probably 15 or so people back, and that was the photo that was given out. We had no idea until later, when the rest of the gals had gone through the line, that the photos changed the further down the pile they got. One was just Jared himself, but the other two variations also had Jensen. But they weren't as pretty as the one I got. :-)
