Welcome to Part 4 of my first Supernatural convention story! If you missed the earlier parts of my saga, you’ll probably want to start at the beginning with Part 1 (Preparations). It will lead you to the Friday, Saturday and Part 5 reports!
Welcome to Part 3 of my tale of attending my very first Supernatural convention! You’ll want to go back to read Part 1 (preparations) and Part 2 (Friday at VanCon) if you missed them or head forward to Sunday and Part 5!
Welcome to part 2 of my tale of attending my first Supernatural convention! If you missed Part 1, it described the year of excitement, set backs, planning and preparation then the travel and anticipation that led me to the day I had waited for for so long – my very first day at a con!…
Introduction Boy, this will be a long one! That is probably the sentence I will hear after this story, but it has been a great effort to get to this point so it is all worth it. When I finally got to watch and totally was drawn into Supernatural’s world and I heard…
This was my first year covering San Diego Comic-Con solo. It was only the second time I had ever been to #SDCC (a hashtag my hands have become accustomed to typing just as much as they type #Supernatural). Alice had a schedule conflict this year so I was left to navigate tickets and passes, emails…

Its unedited moments tell the story of what really happens on set. This abbreviated reality show is quite different from the perfected version of the episode an audience sees after multiple takes,…
Supernatural conventions are emotional, exuberant experiences. Every fan who attends leaves with their own unique memories. Each impression of the convention is a combination of factors, such as whether the attendee is a rookie or veteran, is meeting friends or attending solo (Farawayeyes discussed this aspect of conventions in her recent MinnCon reflection), and on…
The question “How many of you are at your first con” is regularly asked by much of the cast. Sometimes many hands shoot up—but at others not many. The question then becomes—largely unspoken—why do you keep going to these Supernatural conventions? Once you’ve gotten your autographs and photo ops and seen the panels, why do…
This April, Minnesota and the world suffered a dark day with the loss of Prince Rogers Nelson. His death rippled across the Land of 10,000 Lakes and the world rapidly, hitting us with a massive shock. The news from Chanhassen, Minnesota and Paisley Park struck like a sucker punch to the mouth. I found out…
Comic Con has come and gone. We have Alice’s great write-ups of her interviews with the cast and writers of Supernatural. Here are other sources.

Everyday we send out tweets and deliver messages about some sort of charitable cause that’s happening in our fandom. With all the noise I admit to…
Saturday is always a bizarre day at a Supernatural con, but Pittsburgh made it even more so. We ended up staying a few miles out of town because there was no affordable downtown hotel availability. After all, I usually don’t decide to attend a con until a month or two before. Judging by how many…
