I've been telling myself forever, if there's another con in Dallas, I'm definitely going. Unfortunately, it looks like my definition of 'definitely' might be more something along the lines of 'when hell freezes over'. Cause, man, I really can't afford 3 cons in one year. And I'm not ready to give up JIB just yet. (BTW, why the hell are plane tickets to Dallas, in Sept, so expensive???)
If I really wanted to go, I'd have to forgo buying photo ops. And let's face it, photo ops are the reason I'm going. Well, that and fugly airplane food.
I'm probably kidding. :p
And I couldn't get any Meet&Greet tickets nor JIB's Dolce vita with Jared if they manage to get him again in 2012.
And I'm moving next year, so I'd have to live in a cold, dark apartment (but with wi-fi, I have my priorities) so I wouldn't spend huge amounts of money on utilities.
There's no way I can afford it.
BTW, y'all know I'm going, right? *sigh*
I'm just gonna go out and say it. Only regulars at Supernatural conventions should be Jensen and Jared. And possibly Misha (cause minions are scary). But as far as everybody else is concerned, I don't need to see them. Every. Single. Time.
I mean, I like Richard and Matt as much as the next fan, but do they really have to be at every con just because Creation decided to turn karaoke to The Dick & Matt Karaoke Experience? BTW, I liked karaoke just fine even when it was just plain ol' karaoke and not "The Experience".
We only get 10 guests/con and if 5 are there by default, that only leaves 5 empty slots. And I'd rather have 7 so there's more chance of seeing somebody new every time. It's not like there's a shortage of potential guests. I'm still waiting for Creation to invite Katie Cassidy, Lauren Cohan, Nicki Aycox, JDM and, yes, Genevieve P.
And what's up with BBB being at every convention? What, was it cheaper by the dozen? (Pun intended.) Creation books them for 12 cons and they get a discount? Variety is not a four-letter word. Granted, I'm not the biggest fan of Steve Carlson and Jason Manns (although I actually like Manns' songs), but that doesn't mean I want the same concert over and over again. If Creation is out of ideas, they could always tell Jensen to introduce Chris Kane to us (just like Jared introduced BBB). And Jensen doesn't even have to be at the concert. Chris being there is more than enough.
