Well I'm home from the Con. I got home Monday night, but I've been too tired and lazy to post about it until now. This Con was very fun and I had a great time. I wouldn't say that it was my favorite because I've loved every Con I've attended. My two addictions collided and I'm afraid my gambling addiction pretty much won out over the two. I spent more money gambling than I did at the Con. I did manage to buy myself two new shirts and some new pics.
To start off with, my hotel room was huge. I can't believe how big that room was. It was one of the nicest I've ever stayed in. The Rio is pretty big and I walked back and forth to the Convention how many times. I sure got my exercise in while I was there. The Convention areas were huge and everything was great.
I'm so happy that I made my pic of little Sammy and Dean to have signed. Rob and Matt said that it was cute and they liked it. I think Rob Benedict was the highlight of the Con for me. He was so nice and sweet. I loved that he actually even looked at the centerpiece I brought to the Cocktail Party. It was a kleenex box holder my sister made out of plastic canvas. It had pictures of Sam, Dean, Castiel and Bobby on two sides and then my sister put mirrors and crosses on the other sides. My sister loves mirrors and crosses. I told her it needed a pentagram and other crap like that, but she did it how she wanted to. I never even got my box made for the Con. Anyway, Rob was probably the nicest one at the Cocktail Party. He talked to everyone at the table and not just to a few people. There were how many people who came to sit at my table and there was an empty chair on my side. I thought it was great because maybe one of the them would have sat next to me. No, some guy who had been sitting next to his woman or whatever she was, purposely came and sat next to me when the stars started coming around so that they'd have to sit next to his woman or whatever. Rick Worthy came by and he wasn't even one of the scheduled guests. That was a nice surprise. My opinion of Richard Speight lowered after the Cocktail Party and I just don't want to say why, but it had to do with my centerpiece.
I loved all the panels and my favorite was Sebastian Roche. He was up there dancing, singing and totally entertaining us. I laughed so hard at some of the stuff he did. Jared and Jensen were awesome as usual and I loved their panel as well. I can't believe some fans don't even go to the panels. They are my favorite part.
I only got three photo ops this Con and I'm happy about all three. I think they all turned out great. I can't believe I was brave enough to ask Jared for the pose I asked, but he was great and the pic turned out better than I thought it would.
My most favorite part of the Con was Rob Benedict and Louden Swain. I loved them when they were The Elastic Waste Band as well. I loved the band starting out the Con every day and I really loved the concert on Sunday. I love listening to Louden Swain at work because I always smile and the day goes by so much faster. You just feel good when you hear the songs and the music is playing. Rob was awesome and sweet and I appreciate him so much right now.
The Karaoke Party was really fun and it was about three hours long. I stood for most of the time and sang and danced. I didn't take as many pics, but I got a few good ones. Matt came and stood next to me and then stood on the chair by me and danced when Love Shack was on. That was great. As I was coming out the door after I saw Ty Oleson talking to people in the hall. He came too late. He missed a great time.
I loved going with my oldest sister, but I really don't think she enjoyed herself too much. I told her the Con would be all day and into the night and I wouldn't be able to go anywhere else all the three days. We got into a few fights and stuff, but then on Sunday night after the concert we went out to the strip. We gambled at The Paris and Planet Hollywood. We didn't get back to The Rio until almost 4 in the morning. I swear I only got about 4 or 5 hours asleep a night the whole trip. No wonder I'm still dead tired.
Well another Con is over and who knows if I'll get to another one. With the current crap happening, who knows if I'll have the money to get to another one.
