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!!!!!!

Ah-Ha! Convention Newbie! Your profile says you are from Chicago. Will you be staying at the hotel or driving out during the day?

Yes, meeting up would be cool. I'm not sure what my schedule will be, for various reasons - 1) The convention doesn't put their schedule up until just before the con - 2) I may be meeting up with some friends from Chicago, if I can arrange it - and 3) The Food Drive is sorely under-staffed, so I volunteered to help them a little bit on Friday and a little bit on Saturday.

Mostly, I just wish the convention would put their schedule up sooner, so I could get all of these things sorted out.

Well, I'm easy to spot. I'm five foot tall, blonde and either will be using a walker or a wheelchair, and will have a teenage girl with me (<--The Cousin, it's her first convention ever too!)

Are you going with anyone?

Looking forward to meeting you there. I'll keep an eye out. I plan to drive back and forth. I'll be on my own -- boo hoo -- since I don't know any other non-cyber Supernatural fans. I tried to get my husband, brother, and some friends interested and have had no luck.

Hey! We should try to meet up outside the first Q&A (I think it's Matt Cohen.) I'm going PM you about this now.
