Catching up with SPN  
I've been mainlining Supernatural of late to catch up. I've enjoyed the prettiness that is Jensen Ackles since Dark Angel so I was surprised to find that my fave is not His Hotness but rather Misha Collins's Castiel. This show has some serious gender issues, true. They're bad enough that I wouldn't watch even though I like the whole Armageddon storyline.

But I can't look away when Castiel is onscreen.

I think other people had him doing the Cas voice at the con, so he was sick of doing it. Cas' voice does sound painful when he does that deep throaty thing.

Yep, it was Creation. Ass shots are a must for all the lovely actors we like! Wonder if anyone ever hangs those banners in their houses?
Mish: Misha -- Makes Internets Implode[identity profile] hsapiens.livejournal.com on April 17th, 2010 05:44 am (UTC)
I'm getting to use some of the eleventy billion icons of Castiel & Misha that I snagged from the internets last night! \o/ \o/ \o/

Ah, then if he'd done it once that's more than enough.

I think that Carol hangs hers -- or at least some of them. I have this vague memory that [livejournal.com profile] selmak asked her about it and she has one of those houses with rooms that are two stories high. But that could have been a bad dream following a soul-scarring Secaucus food experience. I can see wanting one when you're caught up in the swing of the con but they always seemed horribly impractical to me. Just the sort of thing to get folded up and stowed in the attic.

I much prefer my ass shots. ;-)

I really like your icon. ;-P

Oh, Secaucus. LOL! I'm so glad they moved the cons from there!

Ass shots! \o/

Here are the links to my 2009 SPN con reports and pictures, if you're interested.

Mish: D/C -- Nekkid Misha? I'll Be in My Bunk[identity profile] hsapiens.livejournal.com on April 17th, 2010 06:22 am (UTC)
Thank you. I spent many hours dedicated to the vry srs bsns of finding Castiel and Misha icons. It was tough work, I assure you.

Thank you for the links! I can't believe Creation allowed the guests to personalize the autographs (it's because I wasn't there, right?) -- and I love Misha's personalization. I'm so totally not jealous.

So they changed hotels from the cess pool for the SG-1 con, eh? I never actually met that hotel as I had to cancel on that con but I'd read enough reviews and then heard [livejournal.com profile] selmak's experience confirming its horribleness and was not sorry to have avoided it.

I can't believe I'm missing Creation cons. I'm obviously not getting enough sleep.

You're welcome! You've been busy! LOL!

No problem. I love when they personalize autographs. Creation should realize that if the guests personalize the stuff, people can't resell them. You remember they are all about the money. ;-P

Yeah, that hotel was disgusting. It was nice to be able to stay with my brother-in-law and sister-in-law for the '09 SPN con. Saved a lot of money too!

I haven't done Gold in awhile now. I hate giving that money to Cretin. Jared canceled at our '09 SPN con. People were so upset who bought Gold. That is a risk you have to take though. Any guest can cancel at any time. We did the cheap weekend package and sat in the very back. :-) You can get into more trouble in the back! }:-P

I like the way Shore Leave runs things. The guests seem so much more laidback than at the Creation cons where they set so many time limits and shit on things.
Mish: Misha -- Kneel for Overlord[identity profile] hsapiens.livejournal.com on April 19th, 2010 02:02 am (UTC)
I'd like to try something like Shoreleave. I've only experienced the two ends of the con spectrum: Anal Retentive Creation and "hey, who's up for a nine hour wait for something less than we promised you?" Gatecon. I hate how regimented everything seems at Creation but I do appreciate knowing I'm going to get the photo I purchased and that I won't get a lesser photo than the first 150 people due to lousy planning by the organizers. I liked Gatecon better because it was entirely fan-run but there was a lot of waiting around in halls and frustration.

I can understand being upset over Jared canceling; those Gold Passes are expensive. Of course, I'd have been going for Misha so I would have been perfectly happy. ;) It is, alas, the danger in booking a con. I've had Amanda and Michael cancel -- but one of my favorite cons was the SG-1 one where all the mains canceled. Dan Payne & Alex Zahara were fabulous and there was a lot less craziness.

I've heard the horror stories about Gatecon. Never experienced one though.

We did have a fabulous time even though Jared canceled. We were excited that Misha was there. The other actor guests were fun too. :-)
Mish: Castiel -- White Wings[identity profile] hsapiens.livejournal.com on April 20th, 2010 11:23 am (UTC)
I had the misfortune of hitting it the year they did the absolute worst at organizing/delivering on promises but I find it hard to forgive as it was...memorable.

Misha would be worth the price of a gold ticket, I do believe. But I find it happier to spend time with guests who aren't mobbed by deranged fans because they can sit and talk and generally hang out without fear of molestation. Those tend to be the non-leads and they tend to be a lot of fun. :)
