Well, this is it, I’m signing off until Saturday, making the long pilgrimage from central Ohio, driving through a huge freaking chunk of Indiana and then fighting the Chicagoland traffic up to the Wyndham O’Hare. This is my second visit to the Chicago con. Last year was a ground shaking event to say the least. I’m…
Today I’m kicking off what I’m calling “Con week,” as in Fan Convention, not ex. As many of you know, I’m getting ready to attend this weekend’s “Salute To Supernatural” convention in Chicago (at least Saturday and Sunday). Considering this week’s episode is a weird story that takes place at a Supernatural convention, I’m going to ride…
Tigershire has started posting her recaps of her experiences at the Salute to Supernatural Convention this past weekend. Day one is up! Check it out, it comes with cool pictures and everything. http://tigershire.blogspot.com/2009/09/salute-to-supernatural-vancouver-2009.html
(This is a spoiler free essay about my experiences covering Supernatural at Comic Con. Spoilerphobes need not worry, no season five giveaways here.) Sunday morning as I waited outside press room 1B at the Comic Con, sitting still was a little tough. Sure, blaming the extra large (sorry, Venti!) Starbucks could have worked, if I had…
I’d be remiss if I didn’t share two great fan stories before going on about how wonderful our day three with Todd Stashwick, Charles Malik Whitfield, Jim Beaver, and Misha Collins was. I missed a big highlight from day two, and for that I’m sorry. One of the Creation diversions was the costume contest. There were…
This has been what I call “bizarro con.” That’s not a bad thing. All throughout, I couldn’t avoid comparing this con to the Chicago one from last November. The differences between the two are night and day. Turns out Chicago is the night, and Cherry Hill is the day. I’m so incredibly behind on reports and panel recaps because I…
Day One This is normally the part where your crack on the job blogger gets to spill all the wonderful details about day one at “Salute To Supernatural” in Cherry Hill, NJ and it’s amazing events. Except I wasn’t here for most of it. I was on the PA turnpike instead. I had resolved to take my…
(Credit to wolfpup2000) I didn’t get it…at first. I’ve never been what you call a “fan girl” in the true sense. I’ve never gotten excited over the whole celebrity thing. The way I see it, they’re normal people doing jobs like you or me. I haven’t met a lot of celebrities in my lifetime but when I have,…
Day two got right back down to business. Of course that was after a small amount of excitement at the hotel involving slow service in the restaurant and a broken elevator. It’s amazing how two minor little things can just throw off a morning for people, but it did, big time. I’ll have to admit, the staff here…
Here is the much anticipated day one report from the “Salute to Supernatural” convention in Chicago. I must say, so far it’s been quite an event and it’s only getting started. First Day This was a surreal experience from the word go. The day started by me getting up at 4:30 am. Considering I’m a night owl who…
