Just found a whole bunch of Jared's solo panels and some J2 from various cons that I'd never seen before. Am going to be downloading non-stop for at least 24 hours I think and filling in a lot of gaps in my J2 panel collection. And then watching (I like to view them on my big screen tv rather than the laptop) and drooling and getting ever more excited for AHBL8 in May!!
AHBL6 Sydney sing-along video
May. 26th, 2015 02:52 pmJust uploaded this on Facebook. The quality is so much better than I thought it would be from my phone, and though it is shaky, blurry and dark (pitch black in places due to the very low light levels) you can still see the guys on stage most of the time and hear everything. It's just over 8 minutes long of fans and cast singing Eye Of The Tiger and then Carry On.
Words can't really describe what it was like to be in that room (unless you've been to an SPN karaoke, of course) but I hope this gives an idea of the amazing atmosphere and love that was there.

This is the true spirit and emotion and amazingness of an Supernatural covention. Cast, fans and classic rock. All 1 one...

AHBL6 quickie post
May. 26th, 2015 01:44 pmAm home after the most amazing weekend of my entire life. Still on a massive high and can't quite believe everything really happened except it did!!!!! And I have the pics to prove it.
I'll be posting all my photo ops and some panel pics over the next few days but just wanted to mention my highlights:
Meeting Jensen in RL for the first time is something that I will never forget and will treasure forever. He was so open and warm and gorgeous and gracious and a little bit humbled I think to the reaction he got from the Aussies. He spoke so much and so lovingly about Jared and why he didn't attend and says both of them want to come back next year. If that happens nothing will stop me from being there.
2 Jensen photo ops and fantastic squishy Jensen hugs in each of them.
Managed to say a few words to Jensen each time he was signing my pics. Asked him if he had fully recovered from Tough Mudder yet and he said he think's so. Said the guys want to do it again next year but in a different city.
Asked him a question in the Sydney VIP panel he shared with Mark Sheppard about Tough Mudder. He said it was his idea as a good bonding exercise for all the guys prior to them doing these past 3 cons. Then realised how tough a course it was and they needed to train for it. Which j2 teased in one if their vids.
Was Richard who did the shirts and put their names on the back which made it easy for fellow racers to recognize them and chase them, resulting in the boys doing more running than just for the course. And why the heck did Richard use white shirts.
Near the end were electrical wires. Most were dead but a few had 10,000 volts running through them and even 30,000 which zapped Osric and he went down. Jensen was next to him, turned around to help and touched a 10,000v wire.
And acting all this out as he was telling us complete with awesome sound effects.
I really, really hope the 2 VIP panels are on the dvd's which will be released in mid-June as they were so fantastic, esp to see Jensen trying Vegemite chocolate for the 1st time. For the UK people think Marmite, for others it's a black, very salty yeast extract that you spread VERY THINLY on toast or bread. Most Aussie kids grow up on the stuff but for others (like Jensen) it's a very weird food that is absolutely disgusting.
Jensen getting standing ovations at the end of his panels and filming the Sydney one. In Melbourne, everyone stood up together. In Sydney it was a slightly slower response but still amazing.
I can actually see myself in the vid, waving my hands and screaming and looking like a bloody idiot but fuck it was amazing and Jensen was filming it to show Jared so totally worth it.
I got told to "Oh, shut up!!" by Mark in his Sydney panel. It was near the beginning and he asked who had been to Melbourne the day before. A few people raised their hands as did I. However, I was the only one who screamed out "whoooo Hoooo!!!" so of course Mark heard and noticed me. So happy to have been spoken to and told off by the King of Hell.
Osric doing a backflip in Melbourne
Osric laying on Tim's lap as Tim sang a lullaby from Galavant. That was a fantastic panel match up. They were just so sweet and awesome together.
Richard and Matt's panels were brilliant. Richard told a long story about a certain "Pared Jadalecki" being able to change all the settings on your phone despite only having it for a few seconds and of sending a text to Richard's wife that made it look like Richard was texting another woman.
Sydney being the only SPN con to have the sing-along (karaoke) shut down early because we were making too much noise which was entirely Matt Cohen's fault as he kept demanding that we weren't screaming loud enough.
Being in a room full of SPNfamily with Matt, Richard, Tim and Osric singing Eye Of The Tiger and Carry On, Wayward Son. Wrapping my arm around Kim, my wonderful friend I spent Sunday with, as we swayed to the chorus. We hadn't seen each other in 5 years and don't know when we'll see each other again (living on opposite sides of such a massive country sucks!!) so wanted to make every second worth it. Have got vid. Will post it once I can retrieve it from my phone.
Getting to meet up with my Aussie LJ buddies,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
reggie11, kazluvsbooks, ash48, kasman, little_creek96 & missyjack aka Superwiki They were just as wonderful and friendly and amazing as I'd thought they'd be. Only regret is that we didn't spend nearly enough time together so am hoping we can all catch up again next year.
Seeing a fellow SPN fan at Sydney airport on Monday night and sharing photo ops and reliving the memories and magic of the weekend as we waited for our flights and finding out that not only do we both live in Perth but are only 1 suburb apart. Was great to meet you, Kate. Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Hopefully just after the dvd's are released next month.
Seeing so many of Jared's Always Keep Fighting shirts in both Melbourne and Sydney. Very touching and inspiring and making it seem like Jared was there with us in spirit at least.
There's probably so much more that I just can't recall right now, so I'll leave this as is.

It's official!!!!!!!!!!!
May. 13th, 2013 10:07 amIf I didn't know for sure that I was already a die-hard, obsessed, addicted, hopelessly-head-over-heals-in-love Jaredgirl, then I do now.
The Jus in Bello con was on in Rome this weekend and heaps of the SPN cast were in attendance, including Jared and Jensen. However, Jared had to leave sometime between Fri night and Sat morning due to a family emergency and flew back to the States with Gen and Thomas. Word going around twitter was that someone in Gen's family had been in a car accident, but this hasn't been officially confirmed. Jared did tweet last night that it was 'a serious event', so details don't really matter.
Anyways, wake up this morning and my flist is full of vids from the con and tweet summaries and pics of all the shenannigans that go on at JIB. And I have almost zero interest in watching or reading or looking at any of them. I normally devour every scrap of con-stuff I can find as soon as I can find it. But that's not happening this time. and it's for 1 reason. Jared isn't there.
I've only watched 3 clips so far and all 3 are explicitly about or mention the fact that JARED IS NOT THERE:
1/ Jensen records a message for Jared:
2/ Jensen at JIB opening:
3/ Jensen talking about what he does on his summer break and how much JIB means to both him and Jared:
Now I love Jensen heaps and I really like the rest of the cast, but it just doesn't feel the same seeing Jensen on stage with someone who is not Jared. Maybe 1 day in the future I'll feel like watching some of these vids but I fear that isn't going to happen anytime soon.

AHBL 3 Con update
Apr. 18th, 2012 10:47 am3rd and final flight (Sydney to Melbourne) booked and paid for. Melbourne hotel for 3 nights booked and paid for. Now I can concentrate on putting away spending money for the trip.
Things I still have to budget for include photos and autos and some merchandise, a couple of tours in both cities. Not planning too much in advance. Just gonna see what the weather is like (hoping for fine and sunny but preparing for rain and storms) and what I feel like doing when I get there.
Only 6 weeks to go and I'm get more and more excited. Not just for the chance to meet the actors from the show and hang out with fellow fans, but to get a break from work which is really getting me down at the moment. I still enjoy my job, most days, but it's been getting a bit boring lately as in I'm doing the same thing everyday. I'm actually starting to hope that something breaks down or needs attention, just for something different to do.

All Hell Breaks Loose 3 con
Mar. 7th, 2012 10:35 amHave just booked my tickets for the AHBL con to be held in Sydney and Melbourne in late May. Next up is airline tix (they have to wait for next pay in a fortnight). Then there's hotels to book and spending money to save up. Still have to budget for photos and autos and other goodies.
Have decided I'm taking a week off work and turning the weekend into a 6 day trip to the east coast. Have been at the servo for almost 3 years and this is the first decent holdiay I've taken. Being casual I don't get paid holidays, so usally don't take off more than a day or two. But I really need a break and the east coast is about as far as I can afford to go. Have been invited to a wedding in the US in June, but there's no way I can afford to go that far or take enough time off work (ie at least 2 or 3 weeks to make it worthwile) so it's the 2 day/2 city con instead.
Thurs 24th May, Friday , Saturday in Sydney fly down to Melbourne Sat night, then spend Sunday, Monday & Tuesday there before flying home either Tues night or Wednesday morning. It's gonna be full-on but I desperately need a break from work.
Have a couple of touristy things to do-- Harbour Bridge climb in Sydney (Have been to Sydney heaps in last 10 years but have never been able to fit in a bridge climb) and The MCG tour in Melbourne. Have been a big AFL footy and cricket fan since I was little so am looking forward to this tour. Apart from that I'll probably just see what's on offer when I get to both cities. Was hoping to catch a game of footy while in Melbourne but they conflict with the con, so maybe next time.

I'm going to Hell!!!!!
Feb. 16th, 2012 09:47 amAfter thinking about it for months, made up my mind this morning that I am going to the 'All Hell Breaks Loose' SPN con being held in Sydney and Melbourne at the end of May.
Confirmed guests so far are Richard, Misha, Tracey and Jim. Interestingly there are still 2 guests TBA boxes on the sight. Am no way getting my hopes that one or both of them might be filled by SPN actors whose first name starts with "J" From everything I've heard around the 'net, there is very little in hell of either Jared or Jensen making another trip downunder.
Am still kicking myself for not getting into the show a couple of months earlier-- I started watching in June or July 09, even though I was aware of it for a long time beforehand. I even remember seeing the end of one ep, can't recall which one, but think it was season 1, saw JP and JA and foolishly thought "Oh, they're just pretty boy teen actors, not my type at all" Little did I know that they would quickly grow into amazingly gorgeous men-- definitely my type. :-)
AHBL 1 which both Jared and Jensen attended was held a few months before that. I have the con on DVD and have watched it heaps, but having gone to lot of Farscape and Stargate cons, there is nothing like actually being there in person, meeting the actors, getting photos and autos and perhaps even best of all, hanging out with fellow fans who not only share my obession but understand it as well. Love the fact that you can be in a queue waiting for autos or photo-ops, turn around to the person behind you, a complete stranger, and immediately start a conversation without having to explain anything and without being considered weird for being obsessed by a tv show.
Will only have to miss 1 shift at work (Saturday) and swap Monday morning for the arvo shift. Fly to Sydney on the red-eye after work Friday night, onto Melbourne Sat night before flying home Sunday night or Monday morning.
Have pretty much accepted that I'd have to travel to the US to meet both J's, which I really, really want to do. One thing in my favour is that it's looking really good for a season 8 which hopefully means more cons later this year and into 2013. I need a big lead-in time as flights to US from Oz are expensive, then there's accomodation and the con tix and all the goodies like photos and autos.
