A few random things we learned at Eyecon

[fangirl_says]

*Jared knows about RPGs. (O_O DO NOT WANT) Thankfully, he's fine with them.
*Jared is scared by 8-year-old girls.
*Jared says he calls Jensen "Ugly", since everyone else calls him pretty (and that Jensen calls him "Lord") Actually, he calls Jensen "Shmackles" or "Shmack", and Jensen calls him "Stretch".
*Jared quoted the Latin exorcism ritual from memory. It was more than a little hawt.
*He did the "I lost my shoe" face for us, but first he said he could only do it while acting, so he had people say "action", then "cut" after he made the face.
*A little kid asked him if he saw a demon IRL, what would he do. Jared said he'd run like crazy. Unless the demon was messin' with the kid, in which case he'd kick its ass. ♥
*I so need a new camera.
*Jim Beaver thinks we're all idjits!
*John/Bobby. (And I've seen people saying he must not've known what it meant. People. He knew. While I'm not wild about someone giving him the shirt, he knew.)
*Gabriel Tigerman has never been to a con before, but despite being a bit overwhelmed by the whole thing at first, he seemed to have a great time (and the man NEVER SLEPT.)
*Also, he said he realized the effect the role had when his college friend sent him Ash/Andy (Chad/Gabriel?) fanfiction.
*Chad Lindberg is a little weirded out (in a very amusing way) by the idea that there's Ash/Andy fic out there, and he plans to go check it out (again, DO NOT WANT). I think Gabriel might've been the one to tell him?
*Samantha Ferris is hotter than hell (wait; we already knew that one).
*Samantha Ferris is a bit annoyed that we didn't see Ellen any this season (though there's a very small chance she might be in one before the season's over). Also, she drunk-emailed Eric Kripke and some unnamed PTB to bitch them out for replacing Ellen with Ruby and Bela (she said it, not me!) and was horrified the next morning when she realized she had done so, then spent the next day trying to dig herself out of that particular hole. Also? She's a hilarious and awesome storyteller.
*Also, she said Jensen was really shaken by the fan who jumped on him in England.
*Alona Tal is very sweet, a good sport and doesn't seem to hold it against us that we lost her a job.
*Also, she's incredibly tiny and very pretty.
*Also, she said she was never told that Jo was supposed to be inexperienced, so she was still trying to play her pretty bad-ass. She wants to play more bad-asses.
*Sandy McCoy is precious. There is NO other way to accurately describe her. She's cute and genuine and self-effacing. And, dude -- she remembered my name the next day. She remembered where I live! She remembered what my friend does for a living! And she's completely, happily, off-her-ass in love with Jared Padalecki. Seriously, HE is the lucky one.
*Also, she said when Jared proposed, they were in their hotel room in Paris and he was telling her how he loved her and she thought he was just talking about their four-year anniversary, which was that day. And they were both crying and he stood her up and went down on one knee ("And he was still as tall as me!") to ask her.

More laterish; right now my bed's calling me.

Yay for cute! And heh, are people really saying Jim Beaver didn't know what John/Bobby meant? After he talked about reading fic? I don't think so.

I love that Sam Ferris drunk-emailed Kripke, and the story of Jared proposing to Sandy is ADORABLE, but I refuse to take credit for Jo being off the show! There was NO reason to write her out just because they couldn't make her a love interest... that is totally on Kripke's head, just like Ellen.

I heard some people at the con saying he didn't know what it meant; I haven't had much chance to read what other people have said about it yet.

I wasn't really in the fandom when the whole thing with Jo was going down, but I was surprised to hear him saying they got rid of Jo because of the fans. Alona did say (and Samantha and Chad agreed) that they'd never worked on a show where the fans were given so much say in what happens on the show. I guess maybe Kripke blamed us for it, anyway.

1. Jared reciting Latin from memory!!?!??! dslfjslafjdslj *faints* SO. RIDICULOUSLY. BEYOND. WORDS. HOT.

2. "action" and "cut" ROFLLLL!

3. This con has made me LOVE Sandy. I never, ever evvvvvvvvvver thought I'd say that REALLY. But I just keept hearing such cute things about her.

[fangirlsays.livejournal.com]

1. Oh, man, I could not believe it when he just started rattling it off, right there in front of me. It was a Moment. :)

3. I liked Sandy well enough before, but this con really made me a fan. She's awesome. :D

[fangirlsays.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm afraid I've forgotten a lot of stuff, too. Hopefully, it'll all trickle back in. :)

Awesome, awesome, awesome!

Question for you. I've seen some videos, and I can't make it out exactly, but it looks like Jared was wearing an Impala hat. Was it actually an Impala hat? Because between that and that black shirt...whew!

[fangirlsays.livejournal.com]

I don't know! By the time I got close to him, he had taken it off. I heard that one of the fans at the breakfast gave it to him, though, so it's definitely possible.

[shadow-of-doubt.livejournal.com]

Yep, it was an Impala hat. The other lady who won the auction with me for breakfast with him gave it to him at breakfast.

[zanne68.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the confirmation. It looks like a very cool hat, and he wore it well.

Breakfast with Jared...sounds like a great way to start the morning! Although I'm such a non-morning person, I probably would have just yawned at him constantly.

[shadow-of-doubt.livejournal.com]

Breakfast with Jared was a dream come true. He is such a sweetheart!

[rivers-bend.livejournal.com]

this whole thing of stars knowing about slash is something I would like to keep far from my brain. Why do people want to talk to them about it????

Jared is SO DAMN lucky. I missed her panel in LA, and only got to see her while she washed her hands next to me in the toilets, but all the things I've read/seen make me sure he's lucky as hell. (plus, Jensen is his BEST FRIEND! how awesome is that?)

Kripke said that they offered Sam a role in the finale 'for their usual deal' and she turned them down flat. Did she say anything about that? He sounded really pretty hurt. I know I've seen she's keen to come back, so I wondered if her agent was the one making (or not) the deals, or else 'the usual deal' was like extras pay or something.

[fangirlsays.livejournal.com]

Heh...it was kinda amusing that when the girl asked him about it, about 3/4 of the crowd were cringing and grumbling and going 'oh, come on!' I dunno why people don't get that the celebrities are not going to tell them what they want to hear about fanfic. *still headdesking*

Interesting about Kripke. When Samantha was talking about it, it was at the cocktail party, which was really loud, and I'd gotten elbowed out of the way by a few more...*ahem*...assertive fans, so I didn't hear everything. I think she was saying that the fact that they waited so long to tell her they wanted her was inappropriate and basically insulting on a professional level, as was that they were only offering her one episode but expecting her to clear her schedule for them. And since the writers' strike pushed back pilot season, she said it would be professional suicide to keep her schedule clear for one episode.

RPGs? I don't even know about RPGs! What on earth was he/the question-asker talking about? D:

[fangirlsays.livejournal.com]

Role-playing games. *g* The most disconcerting thing was that the fan who asked the question only asked about fanfic and Wincest -- he brought up RPGs. O_O

[balefully.livejournal.com]

Haha, no, I know what an RPG is, I just meant...like. I don't understand how that relates! Like, does he mean crazy LJ-based RPGs where people write/act like they're Jared and Jensen or Sam and Dean, or did he mean the OFFICIAL RPG that's coming out soon, like D&D but SPN-based? I'm desperately hoping the latter.

[fangirlsays.livejournal.com]

Heh, oh, gotcha. *facepalms* And I dunno; he was talking about them in the context of fanfic and Wincest, so...erk.

[nyoka.livejournal.com]

Wow, thanks for sharing. Sounds awesome.

Oh, Samantha Ferris have my babies!

[fangirlsays.livejournal.com]

I am /so/ with you. I mean, Sandy and Alona are beautiful, but there's something about Samantha that completely does me in.

[mrstinkles.livejournal.com]

What a great summary. :) Thanks!

Shmackles??? I feel an icon coming on... *L*

Aww, I teared up too when I read about the proposal. I love these two kids.

From Samantha Ferris' fingers to Kripke's ears! But, alas, I'm sure it's not to be. *sigh*

[randombastary.livejournal.com]

1. Jared: Way hotter than I realized.

2. Bobby, Andy, Ellen & Ash: Just as awesome as I thought they were.

[the0neru.livejournal.com]

just so you know, i *totally* blame you for being dragged kicking and screaming into this fandom. (not going anywhere NOW, mind you. :P)

'stretch' ahahaha. perfect.

SO glad you got to go and that you had such a great time.
