3 Weeks to Chicago Con!!!! Whoot!!!!

[dodger_sister]

I have very little to say on the matter, except...omgomgomgomg!

No, really, I have all of this to say - OMG, what should I do with my hair? What should I wear? Which photo ops should I get? Should I even get any other photo ops? (I've already got a Jared/Misha, do I need anything else really?)

I've been to SPN Conventions before, but this time I'm taking The Cousin. She's 15 and has been watching SPN for about a year. She's never done anything like this, ever. She is both extremely nervous and extremely excited.

So, she's pretty much right where I'm at on the whole thing too.

On the up, today her dad (my first cousin) said she's good to miss a day of school, which means we'll be leaving on Thursday night and heading to Chicago. My sister and The BFF will be driving with us to visit our friend hiyacynth, while The Cousin and I are at CHICAGO CON!!! <--that felt like it needed to be in capital letters, with some exclamation points.

Anyway - um, anybody else going? I think we're bringing SPN Life the board game. It's fun. We could probably arrange some game time in our room on Saturday evening.

Lastly, if you are going, see that Creation Entertainment is helping some wonderful fangirls do some good. Food Drive for a Chicago Shelter, here are the links I have on that -

What I got through Matt Cohen's Twitter (that I swear I am not reading, I swear, I don't even have Twitter!) - here

What I got through following some chatter on a fandom friend's LJ - here

That is all.

3 WEEKS!!!!!!

I'm really hoping they'll let me near the front of the line. I admit I was hesitant to even go to the con because usually I'm lucky if I can do even 2 hours on my feet. BUT I'm also one of those people who if I end up in pain I'll just sit where I fall lmao. Usually someone is kind enough to help me up.

I'm arriving Thursday too, but earlier in the day. I've been invited to share a room with 3 other girls I met online so that's nice because otherwise I'm not sure where I'd be staying lol

It's very frustrating people who don't understand how donation drives work keep asking me 'when will we be sitting the table' and as of now I have no clue.... at all LOL

We're extremely short-staffed. Would you be able to do an hour on Friday and an hour on Saturday? I will try and work around anything you really want to do (I'm getting a photo op with Richard and am GEEKING out about it lol)

If you could private message me your name, email, and if you have a phone with txt your # I think that will be the easiest ways to contact people. Especially since as of now I have no idea how many days in advance Creation will post the schedule

Hey - so, let me try to get in touch with The Cousin (she's been away visiting her sister at college this weekend, so she doesn't even know about Jensen coming yet!) and see if there is anything she especially wants to do, like the costume contest or something, so I can let you know about that type of thing too, and then I'll PM you when I've heard from her. :)
