#SPNFamily is so much more than a hashtag!!!! It's very real and so very amazing!!!

On Sat April 2nd I will be having dinner at Perth OzComicCon with about a dozen awesome ladies from the local SPNFamily FB group I run. Joining us will be Jim Beaver and Rachel Miner.

Yes!!!!!!!!! I am having dinner with Bobby and Meg 2.0!!!!!






My wish has come true :-) Rachel was announced today and extra dinner tickets were also released. Alas for me, I don't get paid until tomorrow and currently have less than $30 in my account and knew that there would be almost no chance of tickets still being available in 24 hours. Was chatting about Rachel's announcement on the FB group when one of the gals (K) messages me privately and offers to buy me a ticket today and I can pay her back once I get paid.

It was an amazing and so generous offer that I was in shock for a few seconds before quickly replying and thanking her from the bottom of my heart. Now these tickets aren't cheap. With the usual fees and booking charges, the cost is about $220, so it's not exactly small change K was offering to spend at very short notice.

I can't wait to meet up with her at OzCC next month and give her the most squishiest hug possible.

That's awesome! Fans are the best. I hope you have a fantastic time.

Thanks!!! And yes they are. :-)

It's going to be the best time!!! I've met Jim before at a con but not Rachel.

That's so lovely! I love to hear all these positive stories about fandom. I'm looking forward to hearing all about it :)

[vyperdd.livejournal.com]

Yes!!! With so much wank and division, it's wonderful that there are still fans who are just so generous and thoughtful.

I'll definitely do a little write up after the con as there will also be panels, photos and autos with them too.

That's fantastic - & just what fandom is about!
I hope you have a fabulous time! \o/

[vyperdd.livejournal.com]

It certainly is and I hope to be able to 'pay-it-forward' whenever I can and help another fan's wish come true.

WELLDONE BB!!! What a wonderful thing to do!

[vyperdd.livejournal.com]

I know, right!!!

I didn't even hesitate to accept her offer. :-)

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

I would've snapped her hand off, lol!

[vyperdd.livejournal.com]

Had I been in the same room, I would have!!!

I was at work when she messaged me, didn't see til about an hour later and was so worried that she was going to say, Sorry but all the tickets were sold out. I was very anxious waiting for her reply. She actually stopped on the side of the road on her way home from work to buy the ticket as she was also worried they would sell out and didn't want to disappoint me.

Oh BLESS HER!! That's so lovely! Seriously :D

[supernutjapan.livejournal.com]

How awesome is that?! Have a ton of fun!!<3

[vyperdd.livejournal.com]

Oh we will. :-) The group of gals I'm going with are all wonderful ladies, so I'm sure there'll be plenty of great conversations and chatting going on.

Poor Jim, he's certainly going to be outnumbered, I think with possibly 20 women and him!!

Flipping out with excitement for you here! Have a wonderful, wonderful time! :)

[vyperdd.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'm pretty excited myself. Had almost given up hope of getting a ticket so the surprise offer was extra special.

[casey28.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's exciting! I'm so happy for you! :D

[vyperdd.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :-)

I've had the biggest grin on my face for the last 24 hours.

[manic-padagirl.livejournal.com]
