The unrivaled chaos of a supernatural convention / music festival.
Yes that's Gil McKinney bullying me from the stage, yes my friend in the last pic made a Hawaiian shirt with my face on it.
I'm not talking about the guest making out with a picture of Rob Benedict.

Denver comic con anon. I’m finally eating 😅
The concert with Rob’s band (Louden Swain) was absolutely magical. Kim Rhodes, Briana Buckmaster, and Gil McKinney all sang and had amazing voices. Of course, Rob was excellent. It was really cute because Rob would sing these beautifully emotional pieces and then go: “✨Thank you! 😊” after each song.
I actually made friends. I’m super tired.
Alex and Misha have a panel tomorrow that I’m planning on seeing and can leave updates if you want. I don’t want to be a bother.
And thanks for listening to my random thoughts on this con! You’re making my experience so amazing. :)
(I also had Misha sign a picture I bought at the con.)

Gosh, that makes me so so happy to hear that the concert with Rob’s band was such a magical experience! Omg Kim and Briana are absolute goddesses, and getting to see them and Gil sing sounds like Heaven! Omg wait stopppp Rob is literally so precious, thanking the audience after each emotional song I swear that is the cutest thing ever! He literally has a heart of gold 💛

For those who are wondering about reactions to funkos...
I had Chris Gauthier sign a limited edition retail Smee and he loved it.
Gil McKinney also loved the Prince Eric (which was a kind of quick and dirty custom i made just for him to sign).
I gave Raphael Sbarge one of his own and he of course thanked me because Raphael Sbarge is a zen meditation CD in human form and is incapable of not being genuine, warm, and thankful. By the time I got him to sign one for me he was amazed I’d been able to make more than one. I don’t know if at that point he’d seen the third that I’d made for @ussjellyfish
Neither Jen nor Colin said anything about the funkos I put in front of them to sign but both were signing quite quickly.
Karen David was very effusive in her thanks for the one I gave her and said she was going to put it on her husband’s night stand to watch over him while she was gone. She also loves the Nerdy Jasmine retail funkos with glasses. I believer @coaldustcanary said that she’d commit a felony for Karen David and I think I’d have to agree.
I also gave Beverley Elliott her own Granny and she gave me a hug and said she’d finally arrived because she had her own funko. She also took a picture of mine in a box before she signed it.
Lana was effusive and took a look at each one she signed (I gave her three to sign and a friend right in front of me had another one I’d made). She particularly loved the Roni and said “I want one.”
Bex was also super complimentary and said they looked more like her than the retail one. She also screamed “I want one” (Lana just said it but Bex does everything at the level of a fangirl scream).

My Weekend at Once Con (Part 2)
Hello again and welcome back to my recap of my weekend at the Once Upon a Time Convention in Whippany, New Jersey from October 20-22, 2017!
Not caught up but want to be on my adventure so far? Click right here!
()()()()()()()()()()()()() Saturday
()()()()()()()()()()()()() I woke up at seven once again, and once again, I was out the door relatively early, but this time, I took my time preparing for the day. That's because today was my Duo Photo Opp with Jen and Colin, and I wasn't about to do this without looking my absolute best! I dressed in a Once Upon a Time tank top, my Once-themed cardigan, a pair of black slacks, and sneakers. For me, at least, that's pretty good as far as outfits go.
I arrived at the hotel about an hour before registration opened. Dani was there too, waiting to register, so we waited together, chatting it up with a family who was also just attending for the day as we did. I feel bad. Dani, who had been waiting patiently on a sofa right next to the line, got caught back, and then went back even further once the Gold passes started being registered. At some point, I lost her in the crowd. That said, I knew she'd be fine. She's a strong and independent woman, and with a certain Meet and Greet soon to be happening, I knew she had far more important things to think about. As for me, I started to head towards the theatre.
Today, after all, was also the Colin/Jen Gold Package Exclusive Panel, and I wasn't about to miss that for the world.
I went in there with a plan, one I somewhat regret in hindsight. Given how Colin's photo opp was the first thing to sell out, I figured I would ask my Colin question now because he was more likely to fill up in the Q&A line, and then ask Jen's at her individual panel. If I had another go at it, I probably would've asked something that they could both answer, but hey, I still got a question with Colin (And later a second one at his individual panel, but I'll tackle that later!) So, here went my question: "One of my all time favorite dynamics on the show is the rivalry between Killian and Rumple. The chemistry between you and Robert Carlyle is fantastic! How do you two work together to create such a stunning on-screen feud? Do you work on your scenes together or do you both plan independently before just going at each other on camera?"
Now, keep in mind that the wording was a little different than that, but not by much. Perhaps my words didn't come across in the way that I intended, but Colin didn't really answer my question, focusing more on their current dynamic rather than the one from Season 2-6. Thankfully, he did talk about working with Robert Carlyle in general, so it was far from a waste of a question.
Jen and Colin have a fantastic rapport, and it was so nice to see it once again and live. Their dynamic is very casual, and speaks to their great friendship. As expected, the two were swarmed with baby questions, questions about their happy ending, and basically every adorable Captain Swan question, both on and off camera, under the sun. And man, was it fun! Basically all of their responses were met with boisterous cheers and applause (I did quite a fair amount of whooping, myself).
After the Jen/Colin Panel was a quick break, followed by the "Wild Crew" panel. This was a Q&A with Lee Arenberg, Chris Gauthier, Gil McKinney, and Michael Coleman. These guys work well off each other and you can feel the time they've spent together in every word exchanged between them. I did get to ask a question, and this time I decided to kill two birds with one stone and ask a question directed towards the entire panel. My question was simple: "How do you define True Love?" Do you feel those butterflies in your stomach? Yeah, that's what everyone else was feeling too. It made me so happy to hear the "Awww's" that fluttered around the room, both after the question was asked and as each of the men answered. Chris' response, regarding how he and his wife fell in love and are now more in love than they were before was probably my favorite of the four, though every story was heartwarming as hell.
After the Wild Crew had howled away, we got Karen David. I was a big Galavant fan, so I was looking forward to this! My question was pretty simple: "What is the difference in preparing for a comedic role like Galavant as opposed to a dramatic one like Once?" Karen's response was nuanced, detailing the funny moments involved in Once and the more dramatic parts of Galavant as well as touching upon the more regularly picked up parts of the genre.
There was one other question that I wanted to highlight. It was given by a young woman who was actually lucky and skilled enough to both win one of the trivia segments and ask questions at every single panel, all the while wearing a stunning pride flag on her back. She asked Karen about her experiences as the first Indian woman to be featured on Once Upon a Time. Karen's answer was once again just fantastic! She went into the importance of diversity in the media, and her excitement in bringing this role to life. This fandom has a of problems, but when questions are asked about representation in the show, I find that we can be more insightful than we first appear to be. I hope in the future, we ask ourselves continuously if we are doing enough to present a more accurate and beautifully colorful picture of the equally colorful world we live in.
So, there was now a break in the schedule for the cosplay contest. I sadly didn't end up going to because I wanted to talk to Dani about her Meet and Greet with Jen. That said, I wasn't completely oblivious of the cosplays, so I'd like to take a brief moment to highlight some of the coolest cosplays there. First, one person who I had met on the Facebook group that I mentioned in Part 1, Kelly, was dressed as a different version of Regina everyday, and ever single one of them was more phenomenal than the last. ABC, hire this woman! Second, there was this amazing Swan Costume with a crown on it, very clearly going for a literal interpretation of Swan Queen (Lana even called her as much when she asked a question at her panel on Sunday), and that was so freakin' cool! I heard she won a prize in the contest, and that makes me pretty happy! I talked to her later on in the weekend and she said she worked for months on the costume! Third, there was one woman who wore a Belle cosplay on Saturday and an Evil Queen costume on Sunday, and damn, they were both so pretty! Fourth, there were not one, but two exceptional Captain Swan couple's costumes. Like, wow! Finally, there's Opal, who went everyday as Maleficent. Her cosplays were just wonderful! Honestly, her whole crew was en pointe! One of them had up until the night before the debut been working on a rider Regina outfit, and it came out so well and the other was wearing a totally awesome Maleficent costume as well!
I can go on with this list, stating every Elsa, Zelena, Emma, etc. that I saw that weekend, but for brevity and faulty memory, I'll leave it there. Just know...there's a lot of them, and they're all fabulous!
Later, there was an auction. Auction...how that word would come to haunt me.
But that will have to wait for now.
Anyway, there may have been a break in the panels, but it was anything but for me. My photo opp was coming, and it was coming fast. I asked everyone about if they think I looked good. Dani had coached me through the procedure, and I anxiously waited for my number to be called. After some time, it was, and I got into line, trying to figure out how I'd make a single flash of an instant perfect. It was anxiety-inducing waiting on that line, but the photo happened, and it happened fast. Colin said something to me, and readers, I'm so sorry, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was. I remember my foot brushing against his leg, smiling, and then...it was done. Now all I could do was wait for the photo to come out. Fears and doubts settled into the recesses of my mind as I proceeded on with the day.
But enough about that! I know what you're here for! You want to hear about the panels, and now it's time for the one, the only, Colin O' Donoghue!
As I said before, I got another chance to ask Colin a question. This time, I went with something a bit more comedic in nature. "What kind of pet would Hook want? Would he prefer a scurvy dog or would his pet respond more to 'Polly want a cracker?'" His response? His dog Buckley, of course! I couldn't help but go "D'aww" at that answer and neither could the rest of the audience for that matter.
I have two more highlights to point out, and forgive the bias, but both of them come from friends. The first was Dani's. She asked Colin if a scene from Season 3, Dark Hollow was intentional. In the scene, Emma takes a sword out with Hook walking behind her as they walk, and almost strikes Hook in the face without realizing it. Colin said that it was unintentional, which really makes that scene funny to watch in hindsight. The second question came from my carpool buddy, Cassie. It was about the experiences he went through and things he learned while filming The Rite. Colin discussed how he studied exorcisms and even saw some being performed. I'm pretty sure Colin exorcises the fans' souls every time he smoulders! XD
The rest of Colin's panel proceeded as one would expect. Colin is a unique mix of shy and hysterical. He is both approachable and snarky, and at the same time rambling and apologetic. He's down-to-earth and confident, and you never know just which side of him you're going to see next. You can tell how excited he is about the new season, and especially now that we have some of the new season's episodes to go off of, it's pretty easy to get wrapped up in that excitement with him.
Who wants to hear about Jen? I do!!!! Today we got redhead Jen, fresh out of a film festival! And damn, does she rock the new look! So, this panel I got completely locked out of as far as asking questions goes. It was definitely saddening, though I really did love each and every question asked during it. I think I was sadder for Dani. She hadn't had the chance to ask a question to Jen during her Meet and Greet and now, that our fellow con goers had grown wise to the strategy of lining up early, her question line became flooded. It was an impossible block and about halfway though, we both realized we weren't going to get anywhere with it. Dani sat down and while I held out a little longer, I eventually decided to do the same. Rightly so. One thing I really tried to do during this con was not to view it through a screen. My recordings are jagged and audibly terrible, but seeing everyone live, and not just through the camera of my iPhone was well worth it.
Jen's genuineness (Or should I say, JEN-uineness!) shines in everything she says. She answers professionally, but will be vulnerable when she either doesn't know how to answer or the question deems showing that side of herself. She discussed everything from Emma's character and growth over the course of the seasons to her new directing projects to insight into the world of media! One thing I found especially funny and has been highlighted in photo and gifsets a hundred and one times by now was when Jen commented on a question Colin answered during his panel about who would be the fun parent and who would be the strict parent between Hook and Emma. Colin was very much on the side of Emma being the stricter parent, but Jen seems to believe that Hook would change his tune pretty quickly if they were to have a daughter. Personally, I think Hook would be more easygoing either way! XD My favorite question from the set was one about Jen's thoughts on how Swan Queen had brought all of these different relationships together, inspired creative works, inspired coming outs, and even inspired proposals. For one, the question was immaculately worded. It was polite, but so strong in its conviction. It prioritized comfort for all involved but was undeniably something that both everyone could enjoy and at the same time was something special to the Swan Queen and LGBTQ+ communities. I had the pleasure of speaking with the young woman who asked the question Sunday evening, and if you are somehow reading this, you are fantastic and I'd love to follow you or PM you on Tumblr sometime! Also, it seems like Jen is going to be releasing a project having something to do with the LGBTQ+ community in the near future! I can't wait to see it and I don't think I'm alone!
This was the last panel of the day. Afterwards were autographs, which again, I'm going to save my thoughts on for the ending of this overview. That said, I'll hint that halfway through this autograph session, I began a bit of a tradition that would carry through until the end of the weekend.
Now, I've got one last event to comment on, and that's the Once Upon a Concert!
This was fantastic! Picture this: Gil, Lee, Chris, Karen, Michael, and Beverly putting on a concert with every genre under the sun! Here are some fast highlights:
1. Happy hitting on Granny through a musical number, sung entirely in character (I dub the ship Hanny)
2. Karen trying to sing "Love is Strange," but continuously forgetting the lyrics! At one point, a fan brought over her phone so she could look at the lyrics
3. Michael riffing on the show and fandom while singing a song
4. Gil and Karen fumbling their way through "A Whole New World" and laughing the entire time
5. Karen singing Katy Peri's "Roar," going into the audience, and actually giving the mic to Dani and myself at one point so we could sing along
6. Beverly and Karen wearing fabulously sparkly dresses and singing "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"
There were loads of songs and fun performances all around, but I'm going to end off here. The concert went on until about 11:30, and following its conclusion, I shared a goodbye with Dani and went back to the hotel where I went directly to sleep.
Tomorrow, after all, was going to the final and most thrilling part of the adventure yet!

My MinnCon 2017
I cannot even begin to express the amazing weekend I had you guys. From the minute we arrived Thursday night for registration to the minute we bid adieu to @iwantthedean and @apurdyfulmind on Sunday evening after autographs, it was just the best weekend ever!
I met so many amazing people! Let me start with my girl @just-a-touch-of-sass-and-fandoms. We have been totally in sync all weekend and I could not have asked for a better weekend companion, well except if @paintrider13-blog had been able to make the trip. I met up with some real life friends, @spntrista, @bmcnally85 @zeppo-in-a-trenchcoat and a few others.
I made new friends like @apurdyfulmind. We met @averonicap and @abbessolute (IDKW it won’t let me tag you!). I finally got to meet @spectaculacular-sammy and @sis-tafics. I missed @justanothersaltandburn and @helvonasche and probably a ton others!
One of the highlights of my weekend (besides all the amazing pics below) was FINALLY meeting this lady in person! I remember being at MinnCon last year and wanting to meet her so badly. I have been in love with her writing since the first moment I found her but I was too intimidated to do it. Although I talk to Nicole on a fairly regular basis, I started mentally kicking myself Saturday night after dinner for wasting the last year. Now I have her in my life and it is truly an honor to call her my friend. #Nicelina - I ship it!
The other personal highlight of my weekend was spending ALL of it with my little. @just-a-touch-of-sass-and-fandoms is more than my soul sister; more than my long lost twin; more than a friend. She truly is my other half. The half I really didn’t even know I needed until this weekend. I have so many things I want to say, but words can’t do justice to what I am feeling.
We also commemorated this epic weekend with new, matching tattoos. We had a different one planned, but that will have to wait until @paintrider13-blog can join us.
I spent a ton of time in line for photo ops this weekend and realized that my Rob crisis is SOOOOOO MUCH BIGGER than I thought it was. HOLY SHIT! Here are my ops and their stories:
My solo Rob was an amazing experience. He went in for a hug and I asked if we could do a forehead hug and he graciously agreed. I totally forgot to breathe!
@just-a-touch-of-sass-and-fandoms and I agreed after Gil McKinney’s panel we needed an op with him too. During his panel, he walked up and down the aisles, and FUCK does he smell amazing!
On Saturday I had my R2M. I asked for a Rob hug with Rich and Matt as bookends. Seriously folks, @mattcohen4notreal is insanely hot. This looks a little odd since Rob and Rich were wearing the same color shirt, but don’t let it fool you, Rob’s arms are wrapped tightly around me and I have not idea what Rich is doing or why Matt is thinking so hard!
I shared another Rob op with one of my girls @zeppo-in-a-trenchcoat and it also was amazing. Rob gives the best hugs and his stomach is nice and firm!
On Saturday I took a selfie with Gil McKinney and although not as adorable as @iwantthedean‘s, it is still great. I also told him he smelled as good as he did the day before!
Sunday is the day everyone looks forward to, as it is Jared and Jensen day! My first op of the day was with Jensen. I had something else planned for this but had changed my mind, but it was still as good as I hoped it would be!
The next op on my plate for the day was my J2. These two men are the absolute best. Now, as many of you know, I am a die hard Dean and Jensen girl. So when it is my turn, I walk up to Jensen (he was first) and said “I just want a classic hug from you guys,” and he kind of just shrugs and says “Yeah.” Then he puts his arm behind me and ushers me towards Jared, so now I am facing Jared and Jensen is behind me. I wasn’t even sure how that happened. I remember placing my hand on Jared’s bicep and thinking “Man, is that firm!” I didn’t even know what happened. I just remember telling my girls that I did it wrong and it was all Jensen’s fault. I didn’t even know until I got the pic back what Jensen was doing, but I do see myself leaning back into him just a bit.
I then had my Jared op and boy, he does not disappoint! His back was hurting and he went in for a hug, kind of crouched down (I am only 5′1″!) and so I said “Can I get a hug from behind? Would that be okay? How is your back?” all in rapid succession. He replied “Absolutely!” and “It hurts.” Jared Padalecki is probably one of the most gracious, kindest, gentlest human beings I have ever had the pleasure to come across. And he gives fantastic hugs! He is also quite warm!
While I was in endless lines for Jared and Jensen, @just-a-touch-of-sass-and-fandoms surprised me with a @loudenswain op. This was one more opportunity (and the last) for me to hug Rob and I may have been going through Rob withdrawals, just a bit. So we get in the room and are maybe fifth in line. The band comes in and we watch the others, then it is our turn. I look at Rob and say, “So, you and me, and we are just going to the let them fight over her,” pointing at Ana. He says “Okay,” and pulls me into him. Just as Chris Schmelke is about to snap the picture, Mike Borja walks in front of Rob and me and says “Where am I supposed to be?” I let go of Rob (with only one hand) and point “Over there.” The best thing about that exchange was that Rob NEVER LET GO OF ME!! Oh, and I got to hug him for like an extra five seconds!
Everyone always asks and YES they all smell amazing! It must be something in the water up in Vancouver!
I ended my day by getting Jensen’s autograph on a piece of original art that my friend drew for the LoveForLevi campaign. I stepped up to the line, handed the poster the first handler and she slides it over to Jensen. I stuttered a little (how can you not?!) and said “my friend drew this for the campaign and I would like to get it signed for him.” Jensen looks up at me (I think I held my breath) and says “I love this. It is so cool.” He signed it and I thanked him and left the room.
I went back to tell Ana I was done and as we were walking out, we saw Clif. Ana asks him for a picture and he agrees. He is a super nice guy and looks incredible!
So this is my MinnCon 2017 story. I couldn’t fit it all in one post if I knew what to say! There are too many words and not enough to describe how incredible it was.
I have so much to catch up on and maybe a few Rob fics to write in the near future so look for some new content soon! I am currently only 60 followers away from 2K and hope to be there by September 8! Thank you for tuning in and reading my stuff and more importantly, sticking with me!

SPN PittCon day 3- I'M HOME
Oh my goodness.
Midnight and I'm finally home.
Saturday Night Special concert....Rob mentioned what I told him about my son before he sang Eskimo and I was stunned. Then Gil McKinney had to go and sing How Was To Know which makes me think of my gram and made me cry.....it was a roller coaster of a concert lol. I was more depressed than I probably have a right to be when we didn't get Mark Sheppard as guest drummer this year.
Everyone who performed was amazing. The talent this cast has constantly amazes me.
Sunday-
Jim Beaver is positively delightful. He was so full of energy and genuinely happy and I couldn't look or speak to him without smiling like an idiot. SO very easy to chat with in autographs too.
His photo op was the only one I purchased. When we heard he was going to be there I couldn't resist. I don't regret it at all. My sister and I gave him a squishy hug and...hes taller than i thought but I'm only 5 ft nuthin'
Yeah....J2 were amazing as usual but the highlight of MY Sunday was Jim Beaver.
J2 actually took a minute or two in autographs to talk to each person which I did not expect to happen. I thought we would be shoved through like cattle. So that was a pleasant surprise.
Samantha Smith was so cute. Her panel gave a lot of insight into Mary's mind and it was a different panel to end the day on.
I look forward to this weekend every year. It my "not mom, not wife, no house work, school work NOTHING" for 3 days. My sister and I go & be us and chill and it doesn't disappoint.
Now I'm home....tackled by my dog and kids and my cats hate me for abandoning them for 3 days....im exhausted and passing out :)
My photos really do suck. We were only 5 rows from the stage but it look so far away in the photos. When I zoomed in they got grainy. Meh. I'm no photographer. There were people with actual cameras, not phones, taking nice pictures that I'm sure have already surfaced on Twitter and Tumblr and everywhere.
