Jared Padalecki & Jensen Ackles Gold Panel Moments- Supernatural Chicago 2023

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…

SPNChi 2023: The Men of Walker!

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…

What is it Like To Go To a Supernatural Convention?

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.

The Heart and Soul of Supernatural ChiCon – Part 4

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…

Angels and Demons – Supernatural ChiCon Part 3

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…

Angels and Demons – Supernatural ChiCon Part 2

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…

The Heart and Soul of Supernatural ChiCon – Part 1

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.

Salute to Supernatural Chicago 2012: The Jared and Jensen Panel Report

(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…
