Rome, take 2 (Jus in Bello)

[ratherastory]

Thanks to the BRILLIANT and GENEROUS and AWESOME animotus, I am heading to Rome next April for the "Jus in Bello 2" con next April.

Since I'd rather not have to sell a kidney in order to go, and the plane ticket is already practically kidney-worthy (I don't really need my spleen, do I?) is there anyone there who would be willing to share a room with me?

*bounces*

I haven't been to Rome in 14 years! I am very excited. I'm definitely going to try to get some extra days in town to visit the city again. :)



...


And yes, now that you ask, apparently I'm trying to squish all my convention-going into one year. Making up for lost time, it seems.

*tries and fails not to seethe with jealous* Next year is the year I really want to go, and I know I won't be able to. *sniffles*

I hope you have an awesome time!!!! (Like it would be possible not to! ;) )

That's awesome. We sooo have to meet there.
I will probably be in Rome from Thursday to Wednesday,
so that I can get a few days of sigtseeing in.

What passnumber do you have?
And who of the guys are you looking forward to the most to see?

Already have a roommate for the days, I'm afraid.

ETA: And squeezing it all in at once I sooo get.
I mean, I heard of Asylum Europe and thought, okay, I go there, it's in Germany after all. Next I heard of Rome, and Jared and Jensen being there, so I went there first. And after JIB and AE I decided last minute to head to Barcelona as well, cause it was the last chance for this year to see J2. And waiting on my plane to get there, I booked a ticket for A5 at the end of October. So yeah, 4 conventions this year, and I already booked JIB2 and A7 for next year.
This stuff is addictive as hell.

I'm still waiting on my pass number. :)

I don't know who I'm most looking forward to! I am excited about it ALL! *dances*

*dances with you*
So you just booked?
I thought first you might have snagged that offered AP, but saw that someone else must have been faster. Too bad, but still, you will have a great time, no matter where you are sitting.
And I know from this year, that some idiots only show up for the big names, so for some of the panels you might also be able to get closer as with your normal pass, because other seats might be empty.

I am and always was a Jared/Sam-girl, so you know where my focus will be, but I also love the other guys. I mean, last time Jensen was actually singing for us (still in disbelief that it really happened) and Misha was his usual funny self - and hey, on Sunday he was wearing underpants that I bought for him *smirk* and Richard was so awesome. He makes Misha look boring with his jokes, because he is sooo funny. The two together - ROFL all around.
And Jim is so sweet, also taking time to hang out with fans.
And and and....yes, I'm getting really excited already again.

It will be great to have you there as well.

Yeah, I have a "Demon Pass," so I won't be right in front, but I don't care. I'm just thrilled that I'm going at all.

We'll definitely have to take some time out to meet up. :)

[katwoman76.livejournal.com]

I'm just thrilled that I'm going at all.
As you should be. It will be so much fun.
And I just realized, that for you - going to Rome is actually pretty much the same way as going to the LA-Con. Just once you fly across the ocean and once across your own continent. ;)

We'll definitely have to take some time out to meet up.
We totally have to do that.
Not like with my friend "Kyva" who I tried to meet in Rome this year and we always ended up missing eachother. In the end, we finally managed to meet in Barcelona.
Probably ran past eachother in Rome as well without knowing it, cause we didn't know at the time what the other looked like.
Well, THAT problem can be avoided. You have access to my posts here from previous conventions which include pictures, and so you would know if you ran past me in Rome. ;)

Cool!

Uh...

I'm sure there are photos of me somewhere... hang on. Oh, here's one of me with Neil Gaiman: http://pics.livejournal.com/mousme/pic/000f77kz

It's from last year, but I haven't changed all that much.

[katwoman76.livejournal.com]

You look really happy sitting next to him :)

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

I really, REALLY was. Neil Gaiman is an idol of mine. :)

Congrats! You will have so much fun!

*goes to corner to quietly seethe in jealousy. Someday I will make it to Europe, someday*

I'd love to go! Not sure I could, though, the week before I'm actually going to a convention for work down in Florida!

Come to ComicCon NJ in July. Would have gone this year, if anyone had freaking told me about it.

[roque-clasique.livejournal.com]

WOWOWOWOW THAT IS SO EXCITING OMG

[animotus.livejournal.com]

You're going to have so much fun!!!
And you're so going to faint in front of Jensen!*grins*

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Will not!

I will have plenty of time to get the squee and flailing out of my system before then, so I should be able to remain coherent. Possibly. :D

[animotus.livejournal.com]

I forgot you're going to L.A. too!:D

[katwoman76.livejournal.com]

Aren't you glad now, that you decided to come to Rome of all places for a convention?
Jared,Misha,Jason,Jensen,Richard,Mark S. and now Eric Kripke
This con will be so awesome. Is it April yet?
