Why Does My Only Ruby Icon Look So Angry?
Jun. 1st, 2009 02:35 pmI have returned from the 'Asylum' Supernatural convention!
Firstly: I was terribly nervous beforehand, and it was very expensive, and the organisation was dreadful, and we lived off crisps and Subway sandwiches for three days, and I've never queued so much in my life, but it was such a good experience and I'm so glad I went. I was sharing a room with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wanttobeatree and theoret, who are amazing, and all of the actors were some combination of friendly, hilarious, adorable and insane.
(From what I've heard, however, Jensen Ackles may have had a less good experience, which makes me quite sad. THINGS FOR FUTURE CONVENTION ORGANISERS TO BEAR IN MIND: you cannot force a man to sign a million autographs in two afternoons, because his hand will fall off.)
Friday was a rather frustrating day of travelling on trains and failing to travel in queues, of which the highlight was playing 'Truth or Unicorn' in the photo queue witha_starfish. Basically, the players sit in a circle and spin a toy unicorn, and then the person to whom the horn is pointing has to either act like a unicorn or tell the truth... about unicorns.
We are easily amused. Also,wanttobeatree is an excellent galloper.
By the time we filed into the panel room on Saturday, we had spent countless hours in queues and on trains, and we were tired, and the start was delayed, and I was wondering whether I had made a horrible mistake by coming, and then a fanvid to 'The Boys are Back' from High School Musical 3 started up and I knew it was going to be a good weekend.
Here is the story of my favourite part.
( That Time Riona Got Autographs From Genevieve Cortese And Also Some Dude Called Jared Padasomething. )
Speaking of High School Musical (well, I was before the cut): an audience member suggested that Zac Efron play Sam in ten or twenty years' time. THAT'S RIGHT: ZAC EFRON IS FIFTY-YEAR-OLD SAM WINCHESTER.
At some point in the future, I shall probably make a rambling and disjointed entry about the actors who were, you know, actually there to talk and things, all of whom were amazing. For now, however, all you get is this little tale of my being smitten and ridiculous. Also, I'll tell you that at one point Jensen Ackles, rather oddly, said, 'If I were a dude, I would be here.'
It doesn't make any more sense in context.
