Oh, What a Weekend!

I'm positively beaming after this weekend.  I mean, I thought it would be a blast, but I can't even begin to say just how much of a blast!  Everyone was super nice and super creative and just unbelievably awesome!  All of the actors and the band have families and jobs, yet they absolutely look happy to be there, answering questions and interacting with the fans.  Not one of them seemed grumpy or even a bit touchy.  They joked and laughed and were a joy to watch.

I wasn't brave enough (or rich enough) to do any photo ops or autograph sessions, so I was resigned to watch them from my seat towards the back.  But I have to admit it was fun to hear everyone fangirling over their own photo op moments.  Apparently, the consensus is, they're just a dreamy (probably dreamier) in person.  And honestly they were pretty darn dreamy from afar!

Thanks to a seriously awesome lens, and some beginner knowledge of ISO on Manual setting, I actually got some decent shots between the heads of all the people in front of me. And one fan-darn-tastic shot of Jensen jumping that I will never be able to duplicate for as long as I live. 

I'll probably have loads more to share at a later time, after I've processed it, but for now here are a few shots to share.

 Rob Benedict!!  He wasn't there on Friday but was a welcome site on Saturday.  He's secretly my favorite!
 Master of Ceremonies: Richard Speight Jr. 
 Adorably charming Tahmoh Penikett
 Travis Aaron Wade: For someone who's been in so few episodes, he gets fandom.  And he's an all around genuine and hilarious dude!
 Osric Chau cosplaying something - not really my thing. 
 Mark Sheppard!!!  At one point he was about 4 feet from me.  Snarky and just as awesome as you'd assume he'd be.
 R2M: Richard Speight, Rob Benedict, and Matt Cohen - My stomach hurt from laughing so hard!  This picture pretty sums up their panel - 3 dudes telling ridiculous stories.
 Misha!!!  This is his "oh crap, there are kids in the audience maybe I shouldn't have said that face."  After that, it just got progressively more off color and very, very funny.
 Louden Swain Saturday Night Special Concert - They're just so good!
 Seven Bridges Road in 5 part harmony - unfortunately not including Jensen...
 Now, if I were a good photographer, Rob's head would be in focus.  However, it's still pretty cute.
 All the guys wore the Always Keep Fighting shirts today.  How sweet is that?!
 Alaina Huffman - Abaddon - She's awesome and and can kick some serious butt!
 Alaina Huffman being panel bombed by Jensen - Lucky Girl!
 I will never be able to recreate the luck of this photo for as long as I live...
 The Boys are here!! (Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki)
 Jensen and Rob: Aww!

If only for a few seconds, we finally got to hear Jensen sing the usual song "Your Love!"
