WINCON OMG
Oct. 14th, 2007 07:09 pmOk, so you may have noticed that I had intended to do a post every day telling you all the shenanigans that had occurred in the last 24 hours. Hence the "Part 0.1" (the day before the con actually started) and "Part 1" (Friday). That obviously didn't work out so well, so instead, I give you:
Thursday
I woke up, I finished packing, I went to Santa Fe Depot, and met up with
loveisimmortal, with whom I was to room for the rest of the weekend.

This is Santa Fe Station. I love that building, it's wide open and there are pigeons wandering around inside. No musak, no screens blasting advertising.

The inside of the train.

In case you're wondering why I love to take the train to LA, it's because that's what I'm looking at for a good portion of the trip. So blissfully relaxing.
Anyways, we arrived, we got settled, we ate, we watched Supernatural, we spazzed out,
loveisimmortal saw Mike Rowe, we went to bed.
Friday

Delicious room service! And fairly reasonably priced!

This is our room, btw. After we had ravaged it a bit.
Then we stood in line for registration. Official con time, omgyey!! ^-^

Oooooo! Aaaaaaaah! Mystical! Starring
loveisimmortal as Vannah White!
Anyways, first order of business was going through the marvelous swag we got.

This was our lovely tote...
And these are the flashlight and pen that came in the lovely tote. (Mind you, these pictures were taken at my house after the fact.) We also got a folder with a schedule and our tickets and some word searches and a crossword.

Obviously, I haven't found every last word on the list for this one yet, but I highlighted some words that did not appear on the list, but that I feel are Very Important Words indeed. XD
After that there was a 3x01 and 3x02 viewing.
black_regalia was sitting right behind me, drawing chibi!John.

It was a wonderful experience. (See the Quotes From Wincon list.)
Then... *drumroll* Panels! I went to all three panels that first day. Contents were as follows:
Minor Characters
-Ellen: "I'm surrounded by crazy, vengeance-driven people. I know! I'll serve them drinks!"
-Ava: "Btw, you're a psychic freak. And now these really hot guys are going to tell you all about it."
-Hendrickson: Mirror of Dean (if Dean grew up normal)
Writing Erotica
-First of all, minotaur was there. I squeed. XD
-We made a hanky code which will be posted somewhere, so I'm not going to type it up. Also: "You know, men in leather in the 70's. Dean's favorite thing."
-There were website and porn production companies recommended.
-There were visual demonstrations. Sage advice was also given: draw stick figure diagrams before trying to write adventurous positions.
-I seriously have like 4 pages of notes from this panel. It was so awesome. ^-^
-And here is a blurry picture.

Mythology
-there was discussion about Loki and social norms being fucked over. I'll be honest, I was still riding high from the previous panel.
Then I ran off to bartend @ the Wincon Roadhouse with
miriad (p.s. Why don't I have pictures of her? I think they are on
loveisimmortal's camera or something.), which I did in my very appropriate beer wench outfit.

I took tips in my cleavage and invented a drink using pink wine. It was a happy time.
Later that night there was karaoke and the vid show. Ya'll already know how that affected me, so just have a few blurry pictures:

That's
cathybites tearing my heart out with her beautiful redition of I'd Do Anything For Love.

And this is... pretty much half the con attendees.
Then to bed!!
Saturday
Breakfast with fangirls! Eggs, potatoes, French toast! I made a new friend in
elrina753! We bonded over Sigur Ros, it was magical. Then there were three panels that I did not go to. One because it was on het, gen, and Sues (I'm shallowly just here for the buttsex), one (on Winchesters and ethics) because I busy volunteering @ the registration table with
deanbear25
(I also met
winterlive there, but it was ok because her sunglasses were covering her nametag, so I didn't know who she was until I had already made a few moments of relatively normal human conversation), and one (fic American idol) because I was a tired old lady and decided I needed a nap instead.
Then we went to
deanbear25's room and had a snack and talked about porn.
Then it was dinner time! We had a delicious meal in the dining room. I sat at a table with this one chick, she was ok company I guess.

JK, IT WAS THE MOST AWESOME DINNER CONVERSATION I EVER EXPERIENCED.
notthequiettype IS SO TERRIBLY, RIDICULOUSLY, DELIGHTFULLY AWESOME, YA'LL. (Again, see Quotes From Wincon list.) She invited us up to her room after dinner for some carousing. And carouse we did.
katjad,
nasus221,
wendy,
miss_begonia, and
phaballa were all involved. There was a dramatic reading of their fic idol submission. I hope to god they post it because it was so amazing I cried. I cried tears of liquid crack. (ETA: EET EEZ POSTED!! Make sure you read the pairings before you get going. ;P)Then there was what I consider to be my crowning achievement for the weekend.
Just for reference, the blue dragon is named Jared, and the red dragon is named Jensen. (This picture is courtesy of
loveisimmortal, btw.) They are the product of "like 18 hours of skee ball." Anyways, they let us film them having hot dragon sex:
I directed (by shouting things like "NOW DOGGY STYLE!"), and
katjad choreographed. (The rimming happened because of her excellent prompting during the improvisational bits.) You're probably laughing, but it was stupidly adorable how well those two dragons fit together in various positions. They were so fucking cute. I look at them and I get all happy and wistful.
Anyway, yeah, partied with some amazing people. Revealed what a deeply disturbed weirdo I am. Didn't stop laughing for the entire three hours spent in that room. My face still hurts. Also I have weird bruises that I don't remember obtaining. Stumbled to room, fell over ded.
Sunday
Breakfast again!

caithream looked so very lovely in that color and she had the most wonderful side dish, I think.

This is
stephanometra, who I met at breakfast and fell in love with on sight. I really can't imagine why, can you?
Then it was off to the clothing swap:

And the yarn swap:

I now have A new jacket, two new shirts, and a denim skirt. And tons more yarn.
It was wonderful and also awful because several extremely awesome people were lounging about knitting, but I had finished the only knitting I brought on the train on the way up there! But I restrained my urge to pout, and instead sat and chatted with everyone until it came time to leave, at which point I had to restrain my urge to cry. I'm very sad to be back in real life right now. For real, I mean. I want to go back and talk some more about Sam/Dean's Jared/Jensen's totally epic, unending love. In loud voices. While laughing hysterically. Also, there was an aloe vera-producing ass. Nothing in RL can top that. I'm going to be completely useless at work and school for the next few days.
VERY PROFOUND QUOTES FROM WINCON
(Occasionally with context, but without proper crediting because what happens @ wincon stays @ wincon. Also, some of this was overheard, probably incorrectly.)
"Look, it's a man."
"Get the net."
"No, we paid for it! Maybe it will get better!"
"Easy now, breathe."
"Oh, I'm breathing. A lot."
"You kids and your estrogen."
"These are my angry! Dimples!"
"But I also speak the language of the Normals. I'm very worldly."
Captioning 3x01:

"That's how he is my head: this walking combination romantic comedy/cat macro."
"Kevin Smith teaches p.e. 'Run around in circles or something. Say "fuck" a lot.'"
"There are these fics and they're like 'Jared wears dresses and fuzzy rabbit ears!' and I'm like 'this is gonna be hysterical!' and then I read it and I'm sobbing like 'OMG THEIR LOVE IS SO TRUE!! I'LL NEVER HAVE SOMEONE TO LOVE ME LIKE THAT!!'"
"Pg, PG!! I just wanna cuddle! PGEEEE!!"
THE END. I'M SO VERY SAD NOW. T_T

In conclusion: you are awesome, and OMG, I'm never going to forget that you did bondage roleplay with your McDonald's toys. That's the best thing EVER EVER EVER.

Date: 2007-10-17 05:39 pm (UTC)I know, I so wish it had sound! I think that next time I see Ash (I am so going to see her before next con) we will have to record a sound track of moaning and giggling and edit it into the vid. And we will have to make a sequel. Possibly involving little knitted costumes for dragon!Jensen and dragon!Jared to wear.
LOL I made myself memorable with that. It will be my legacy. ^-^
