After 10 years of attending Supernatural conventions in Chicago, the excitement on Sunday morning for “J2 Day” hasn’t waned in the slightest. The early wake-up call for Jared and Jensen’s gold ticket holders’ private panel is a tough reminder of those extra years that have passed since my initiation to this exclusive event, but no…
From June 1-4, 2023, I spent 3.5 wonderful days with my SPNFamily at the Chicago Supernatural convention. The convention is now officially called “The Road So Far…The Road Ahead” because, in addition to the usual immersion into all things Supernatural, panels have branched out to include cast members of Jared and Jensen’s post-Supernatural shows, Walker and The…
So, I came up with this so called “great idea” and approached Nightsky right away. Let’s have each writer pick one of their “greatest hits” to share during the holidays. You know, a gift to those that have long forgot the articles gone by. Yeah, great idea, until I had to come up with my…
Pictures! Moments in time captured to forever help us remember and relive the dream world of Chicago’s Supernatural 2015 Convention. My memories of that wonderful weekend are narrated in the story Destination: Brigadoon, but every travelogue must be accompanied by a slideshow. Here are my favorite images of ChiCon15! Nightsky I’m the Co-Editor-in-Chief, Social Media…

Going to a Supernatural convention is a privilege and a joy beyond measure. It is, however, a treat that many fans know they will never be able to enjoy. Thousands of people attend conventions, but that is a relatively small number compared to the millions of people in the Supernatural worldwide fandom. Conventions are an…
In Part 1 of my Supernatural convention reports, I described why I thought Osric Chau was the heart of this year’s Chicago convention (Richard declared that Osric was the convention’s “#1 Fan”). (Osric’s jacket during his panel. I didn’t have a copy of this picture at the time I wrote Osric’s story, but Alesia…
Part 1 of my report on Chicago’s Supernatural convention described the overall energy and dynamics of those fabulous three days that fans spent together with their favorite TV personalities. While it is true that each convention is unique, they are all a place where fans feel free to express themselves unabashedly through music (Karaoke!) and…
I almost skipped Richard Speight Jr’s and Matt Cohen’s panel that opened the Supernatural Chicago convention (ChiCon) Saturday morning. I had nothing against them personally but the Friday night Karaoke left me a bit blurry eyed and more than a little sluggish. Nightsky I’m the Co-Editor-in-Chief, Social Media Manager (Twitter, Facebook and Instagram), Live Tweet…
Veteran convention goers say that each convention has its own personality. The convention is affected by the location, venue, stars appearing that year, the mood of the actors and the fans, the season that is airing on TV and a number of other, probably unidentifiable factors. As I think about this year’s Supernatural Chicago Convention…
(Photo courtesy of Blisfulievil) I was lucky enough to win a ticket to the Jared Padalecki Private Q&A for Chicago Con 2012. I had done one in New Jersey 2011, so I wanted to do so again. Jared arrived in great spirits, greeting us with a warm “Hi, y’all” and a smile. He proceeded to…
(All pictures from Alice Jester – The Winchester Family Business) Sunday for me was the day that wasn’t supposed to happen. I went to Chicago con by car (a six hour drive) knowing I had to work on Monday, and all the Sunday tickets were sold out anyway. I bought a Saturday ticket from a…
