I had a really great time at the Burbank Con. I've been too lazy to post about it until now.
On Thursday, March 1st, I left on a little plane and flew to the Bob Hope Airport. That has to be the smallest airport that I've ever been to. The Marriott hotel was only a couple blocks away from the terminals. I probably could have walked to the hotel. I caught the free shuttle instead. I checked into my room and I had a nice big king size bed all to myself. There were a bunch of food places across the street and I went to Denny's about five times to eat during my stay.
The hotel was really strange, but I was located in a great room. I was right in the middle of the hotel. It didn't take long to walk over to the Convention center. I didn't even know where it was at first, but I found it and registered for the Con.
The Con started on March 2nd and went to the 4th. I'm not going to post about everything. Just the highlights. I met a lot of interesting people from all over the country and the world. I'm surprised that I actually talked to how many of them, but I did and I enjoyed it. There was one person there that I called Goofy. I won't say who she was, but she drove me crazy. I loved listening to all the panels and I took a ton of pictures. I don't know why I took so many of Sebastian and Mark though. I looked through my pics and I've got over a hundred of just those two.
I really enjoyed the Karaoke party this year. It was so fun, but my feet killed me after from standing for over two hours. I loved listening to Louden Swain first and I bought one of their CD's. They actually sound better in concert and Rob Benedict is awesome.
Before the Con, I bought photo ops of Jared & Jensen together and Jared alone. I bought three more at the Con. I got one with Rob Benedict, Richard Speight and Matt Cohen and Misha Collins. I got a total of five photo ops and I'm glad that I did.
I heard a lot of sniveling at the Con about the autographs and that they weren't being personalized. Who cares? I'm actually glad they weren't because they went faster.
The Cocktail Party was interesting. I was too lazy to look around at all the other centerpieces. I did get up to take pictures and that was about it. A lady came to my table and set up her centerpiece. It was a protection spell. I loved it, but it didn't protect me from Goofy. I loved Misha commenting on all the centerpieces. That was the best part of the whole night. It was after 1 when Jim Beaver finally came to the table and after he left I left.
The breakfast was nice with Jared and Jensen. I didn't eat a lot and I heard how many people sniveling about it, especially Goofy afterward. I'm just glad she wasn't at my table for the whole thing. I probably would have hit her in the head or something. I talked to a nice girl at my table until Jared and Jensen showed up. I probably bored her, but she didn't let on about it. I didn't take a lot of pictures at the breakfast because my seat was farther away than during the panel and the pics didn't look very good.
All in all it was a really fun Convention and I'm glad I got to go to it. It was my first time ever going somewhere all alone on vacation and I really enjoyed myself. I didn't think I could go alone and have fun, but I did. I actually didn't want my vacation to end and I wished I could have stayed in California for longer.
I can't wait for the next new episode of Supernatural. I don't care whether Sam ever gets a storyline or any focus anymore. I do wish that some of my favorite characters could come back again on the show. There have been so many of them. I just hope there is no more sniveling and whining and poor me, Dean. That's probably the one thing I would change, if I could change something on Supernatural. Dean would go back to being a kick ass and bad ass hunter again instead of a drunken sniveling weakling who is always whining poor me about everything. While I was at the Con, I also heard a lot of fans sniveling about Bobby and the car. Who cares if they're gone right now? I certainly don't. I do miss the car though, but the car was hardly in season 4 and no one missed it. Castiel was zapping mainly Dean all over and Ruby was driving Sam in her car, so who needed it. I guess I just don't care anymore what happens on the show. As long as I laugh and I get entertained, then that's all that matters to me. I just hope there are no more episodes like Let It Bleed and Heaven And Hell. There are a few more other episodes that I hardly ever watch, but I mainly watch all the others over and over. I just hope some really great episodes are coming up with great stories and characters.
