Blood will Flow

If any of you haven't been to a convention and were hesitating about going because you aren't convinced they are worth it - here's a great vid to show you why they are so good.( Read more... )

Public wifi is flaky so we are just getting on it every now and then to update things - I'm loading all my pics (good and not so good) onto Flickr so if anyone wants to have a shufty you can find them here. I'll try and put some up Monday or when we have a bigger gap in the schedule that isn't being filled by trying to find some food or sleeping!
Richard arrived late yesterday but still popped into the cocktail party to get a load of hugs from the cast and say hello to us fans. What a gentleman!

At first sight this might seem like an odd choice, I mean, scary, eh? And apologies for traumatising those of you with delicate stomachs.
But I had this idea about maybe doing something with this mask at JIB or Asylum 12, which if I pluck up the courage for it, might be quite funny, and that thought makes me smile. 

I hate tumblr - I get lost there for hours but then again, I find things like this...which is just fabulous.
Here's the link to anobviousaside's tumblr but make sure you view it full size (right clicking and view image did it for me) because it is beautiful and you need to see the detail.


And speaking of beautiful - here's one of my JIB 4 photo ops with me photoshopped out of it. It's not the greatest photoshopping effort but the best I could manage. Ok I know, I've effectively turned it into a Destiel/Cockles picture but I couldn't resist.

I should probably have kept some proper notes and tried to post at the time but...too late now.

So JIB IV, Roma the eternal city and my fave place.
As everyone now knows, Jared didn't show, or rather had to rush home - and unbelievably there were so called fans we overheard complaining about that fact.  What they actually said was "oh I don't see why Jared had to go, it was only someone in Gen's family."  Sometimes, fandom, you are a bunch of total insensitive, entitled, immature wankers.  Way to start this on a low note.  But hey, it got better.  And better.
(Unlike the quality of my photos - I was only 3 rows back but they are pretty poor)
First little adorable Rob sang( Image intensity below the cut )

This may look as though we had longer with Jared than we did with Jensen but it was just that Mr P talks a mile a minute!!  So my friend Ana has done a fine job typing this lot up, I can tell you.  Kudos to her!

I confess - it was me who said that stuff about Sera, and me who complained that we only got an arm in that shower scene....

Jared's Meet & Greet

( Read and enjoy...! )

These are not that good as the lighting was terrible on the Saturday, added to which I was being a good girl then and sat in my proper seat, which was on the end of the row, and also refrained from using my flash. 

So - largely grainy, and kind of red-hued pics, apart from one or two where I was lucky and caught other people's flashes, and a few of Misha when he came to the mike stand right next to me.  At which time I probably blinded him, ha ha ha!

You can see the full set here on Flickr but I failed utterly in getting the larger/high res versions uploaded there - and I am getting a headache trying to sort them all out, so 1074x768 is the best I can offer, sorry!  (Update - for some reason a handful do have high res available now, don't know why).
Anyhow, here are some of the better ones.

( See the photos! )

If anyone is going to Asylum 8 (or JIB III) you might be interested in two new designs on Redbubble (all proceeds to International Red Cross)
The first is a kind of Ocean's 11 poster idea, the second is for Bobby Fans.
Click on the pics to link to Redbubble.

NB Redbubble's girly t shirts are quite small so unless you like really tight fitted ones, you might want to order a size up from your usual.

Ok, I had such fun most of the time it is hard to pick out the best bits, but here's a few of my fave photos and moments..


Jared and Genevieve crash the Angels' cocktail party - that was a nice surprise.  They then persuaded Gen to sign autographs the next day so I kind of chatted to her (there was no queue!) and told her she should come in her own right as Ruby.  Maybe she will start appearing at Cons in the future after everyone was so supportive of her being there...

So Gen signed my Jared photo op - in case you can't see, it says Genevieve Padalecki "I like!" with smiley face and arrow pointing at Jared - so sweet!  Obviously, playing Dean in this game of rock paper scissors, I lost because we were not in an alternate time line.  Though Jared does look more like he's going to punch me - check out that forearm!!!

Richard did his usual jumping off the stage and roaming everywhere, and took almost as many photos himself as fans took of him!  He is so warm and cuddly.  I was sitting with Ann from Wales who actually worked on Richard when she was a physiotherapist on Band of Brothers.  He was impressed she might remember his legs so intimately...


Jensen was in an excellent relaxed mood all weekend - wonder if it was helped by having Danneel with him?  So anyway, he kept mucking about.  A lot.
He gatecrashed Misha and Seb's panel with a truly awful Russian accent....


He played with the time-delayed big screen, he made shadow puppets on Misha and stalked Misha on stage.... And Misha in return stalked Jensen (and for a moment I thought Misha would kiss him!!!)


Jared was looking extra hot (as well as sweaty hot but he was in good company - it was boiling in that hall on the first day in particular), but Jared being Jared, he ended up with a fan, a towel and an ice pack!


Chad and Rob made a great pairing - they finished their 2nd panel with Chuck and Ash falling from Heaven, on a road trip across America in a motorbike and sidecar, Chuck in the side car with helmet and goggles looking terrified, Ash (no helmet), mullett blowing in the wind.  Apparently they get naked a lot, and fight.

I feel someone should definitely write this fanfic.....

I will do another post later with some Seb, Chad, Rob etc pics and a link to Flickr for the hundreds of other photos if anyone is interested.

If anyone is interested, or knows anyone who might be interested - I have a Demon Pass for sale for Jus in Bello (details of the con).
J2 will be there, along with Misha, Mark Sheppard and Richard, and Steve Carlson and Jason Manns are also there (Jason's concert is included in the Demon pass).  It will be awesome!

PM me or reply here....
