Well, after about 2 hours of absolute CHAOS this morning, rogue events managed to get slightly more organised so that we all knew a little bit more about what was going on.

The goss is, yes, some fangirl threw herself at Jensen! See, as he goes between event things (like, from photo shoot to autographs to panels) he has to walk very rapidly through the masses, with two beefy bodyguards behind him (in black suits! with earpieces!), followed by a wave of hushed shrieking. Anyway, the talk of the con is that as he was coming out of a photo shoot, a fangirl leapt upon him, keen for a kiss. She was dragged off by the bodyguards, but then attempted to leap into the lift with Jensen, upon which they dragged her out again, and declared her Booted From The Convention. Upon which she (allegedly) put her cigarette out on the neck of one of the guards!

It's all drama and action, here.

Anyway, this morning got autographs from Nicki Aycox, Brooke Nevin and Alona Tal. Alona especially was absolutely adorable and sweet, and Nicki and Brooke were lovely too. They're all so wee and blonde and cute! Their panel this afternoon (had one with the three of them) was pretty good too, and we had really good seats.

At about lunch time, despite the fact that NO ONE was in costume (seriously, what? a convention without people COSPLAYING? what??), Derry and I decided to get into gear. I was reluctant, being in such a bad mood about it all this morning and there being NO ONE ELSE in costume, but geared up anyway. It was amusing, but slightly disconcerting. So many people appeared to have NO IDEA. I mean, what??? Seriously! if you're at all involved in Supernatural, how can you NOT recognise a dowdy white, charred, bloodied nightie??? A bunch of people did, and complemented, and a bunch of people didn't. And then still didn't. And then said things to me like "well the blood COULD be a pattern on your dress, and someone put a cigarette out on your sleeve. you can't TELL it's a costume." (...)

But anyway, our timing was such that we went to get autographs from Jensen in costume. Which was quite amusing, and lead to a conversation with him about fake blood (and how he had to have corn syrup poured down his throat). But he was quite appreciative of the costuming, at any rate. And he signed my comic what LOOKS like "All my butt", but is actually probably "all my best".

Which reminds me, speaking of butt. During Jensen's panel, he told this apparently infamous story about the 100s of bees they used when they were shooting "Bugs". The climax of the story is Jensen talking about how the only stinging incident was when one of the bees, and I quote, "flew up under my jacket, then down into my shorts, then stung me in the ass!"

He then went on to explain about how when bees sting you, their stingers remain in the skin, pumping out poison. I quote again, "So I could feel this stinger, pumping, and pumping, and pumping..."

Which, heh. heheheheheh. On conversation with other fangirls after this particular quote... yeah. We are quite amused.

Anyway, I just had dinner with eloise_bright, wenchpixie and eldritch, after a whole crowd of LJ peeps met for the asylum_spnfics exchange. Hee! Apparently, this evening Jason Man (does that have two Ns?) is performing, and then there's a 'disco'. Which is, apparently, fancy dress, but that's only been hearsay.

I love staying in the same hotel as the con :D I think I'll go down and check it out and stuff and if I feel like it, come back up and get into the Mary gear again. We'll see.

I would share photos but I left my special camera cord at Derry's, so it'll have to wait until tomorrow night. Not that they're incredibly exciting or anything!

Anyway, hope everyone else is having a good weekend too.
