I'm back!

[ratherastory]

VanCon was amazing.

I have to figure out a way to compile all my tweets from the Con so I can have them in one easy-to-find place. missyjack suggested Storify, but I'm finding it not great for the bulk work I'm trying to do right now. Anyone have suggestions?

Okay. What did I miss? Is everyone okay after/during Irene? Sound off, please, if you get the chance!

I feel like I was living under a Supernatural-shaped rock this weekend. The entire world disappeared and there was nothing but awesome for three whole days. I got more photo ops than usual, since this is the last time in a very long time that I'll be going to a con. Jared looks like he's wincing in the one I had with him, alas, but I think it's because the photographer clicked before he had time to actually smile. Oops.

Also, Jared kept doing double-takes at me every time we crossed paths (which wasn't that often, maybe three or four times). It was really disconcerting and made me wonder if I had something on my face, or what I could possibly have said to make him do that, or maybe if I just resemble someone he knows. Anyway, awkward.

Highlight of the weekend was watching Jensen murder a giant inflatable duck with his pocket knife, à la Dean. To quote Jared (who was just as shocked as we were, I think): "Dean versus duck. Dean wins."

I spent most of the week with elsewhere_kels, and I already miss her like crazy! I also got to meet SO MANY fangirls this time! 4422shini, cordelia_gray, hells_half_acre, borgmama1of5, sandymg, metallideangirl, tahirire, bree_black, annundriel, disneymagics, and so many others I am sure I am forgetting because my brain is now mush.

Corin Nemec is adorable and side-splittingly funny, and I'm quite sure Sebastian Roché was high as well as drunk for the whole weekend. The man is a charming train wreck, really.

*waves to everyone*

It was SO AWESOME to meet you all! I am really happy, if exhausted. :)

I'm glad you had fun!

I heard about Jensen v. the duck! I suppose I may actually have to seek out video of this. And Jared was probably continuously blown away by your beauty. *nods firmly*

Welcome back!

Welcome back, and next time, if there is a next time...tuck me in your pocket? Pleeeeease? I'll pretend to be a smart phone. I'll even tweet.

I'm glad you had such an awesome time!

Did you have a nametag with your LJ/Twitter name on it? Could be that your reputation has already spread, m'dear.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Heh, no, I had taken off the "ratherastory" nametag every time I saw him. Besides, I am quite sure Jared doesn't pay attention to my corner of fandom. At least, I hope so. I think if he knew he would have done more than a double-take, to be honest. In fact, I'm pretty sure he'd have had Cliff toss me right out of the Con for being way too fond of hurting Sam. ;)

[yasminke.livejournal.com]

Nah, I was thinking the TwitterStorm with Jim.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Oh! Maybe, but I felt that that ended pretty amicably, all told. I don't see how or why Jim would have told him about it. Either way, I wasn't wearing my nametag. Must've been something else. :)

[yasminke.livejournal.com]

The cat fur on your clothes? ;)

Nah, must've been your exuberant smile.

[ayane42.livejournal.com]

Yay!! I'm glad you went and had fun!!!! I live vicariously through you!!

Irene caused me to anger some pigeons but was otherwise uneventful.

Your time under a rock sounds lovely.

[erickajane.livejournal.com]

I'm so happy you had fun :) From what I'm gathering from everyone, it sounds like it was an amazing con.

[peepingdru.livejournal.com]

JUST WANNA SAY A HUGE THANK U....REALLY!!!!!!!:D

[primrose-1.livejournal.com]

Hee Hee! I'm so glad you had a good time! I had ghost tour meetings and a storytelling performance this weekend. Much tiredness here too.

[katsheswims.livejournal.com]

I'm okay. Lots of flooding in town's river. But worst here was having to throw out freezer/fridge stuff as it went bad-about 27 hrs without power (or hot water). I just barely got the internet back.

[tahirire.livejournal.com]

Great to finally meet you, too! Glad you made it home okay. I DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE HERE EVER EVER. *clings to Vancouver's pants leg*

[borgmama1of5.livejournal.com]

I love having a face to put to the name now! Meeting my LJ friends was certainly a big part of why the weekend was magnificent!

[4422shini.livejournal.com]

Delightful!!!

[asilia.livejournal.com]

Thanks again for all the awesome tweets - it was great to be able to follow the con in one place instead of having to sort through a million tweets!

So glad you had such a great time :)

[sinka.livejournal.com]

Welcome back! and thank you for the awesome tweets! I can't believe you managed to send so many but you covered it all by yourself! I'm glad you had a good time and I hope coming back to real life isn't too difficult!

[sw0rdy.livejournal.com]

I am so envious right now. What are the odds of persuading them to stop off in the UK sometime soon? ;)

Glad you had such a fabulous time!

[sandymg.livejournal.com]

I'm waving back belatedly! I think I'm still recovering :) The Jensen Effect and all that. I agree. The Duck Murder was the best thing ever. Frankly seeing Dean like that, live on stage. Holy cow that was sweet.
