The BurCon Experience - Day 5 (Sunday)

You know what they say. Pics or it didn't happen. See? Pics. So it did happen. *nods*

(BurCon was months ago which means that I probably forgot 80% of what happened. Let's see how much I remember.)

First thing today was breakfast. Started at 7:45 am. Yes, let's pretend ppl can eat so early in the morning. Anyways, I think Jared was late? So Jensen had to brave the stage alone. That was followed by Jensen, Jared and Jensen & Jared photo ops. And yes, a hug from behind is a much better photo op pose for me than a real hug. :(

 

 

Next thing on the schedule: panel with Jim Beaver and Richard Speight Jr. This photo of Richard is definitely one of my better ones. lmao

 

 

At 1 pm it was time for the best panel of the day. :D Somebody obviously knows Js very well so they got their own special chairs. Awwww. lol

 

There are some things no one should have to see. So, you're welcome.

I have absolutely no idea what he was doing. lol

 

At the end of the panel we had that announcement about the donation for St. Jude's. (Which Jared and Gen matched. :))

Sunday was March 4, which means that it was 3 days after Jensen's b-day. So, of course, he got a b-day cake and a very beautiful rendition of ♫ Happy birthday to you ♫. :D (You can see and hear everything in my video on YouTube. I didn't sing. You're welcome.)

After all that, we got their autographs and at 4 pm it was time for Madison McLaughlin's panel. Last panel of the day and of the con. Somewhere between 5:15 pm and 6 pm I bought my ticket for next year (for Vegas) and that was it. End of the con. Time for my post-con blues to kick in. :(

 

Funny thing (as in not funny at all), I was going back to my room and just as I reached the elevators my eyes started tearing up (I have absolutely no idea why). Apparently my tears were really salty that day and my eyes started burning and it hurt like hell. TG there was no one in the elevator and in the hallway. I mean, you all know what happens to makeup when you start crying. It was NOT a pretty sight. And when I finally got to my room I couldn't even wash my eyes. I had to remove the makeup first. Pure torture.

lol I looked like this:

 

 

On the bright side, we didn't have to wait in line two hours to get our JPEGs. That's cause we didn't get them at all. Chris decided to send JPEGs few days after the con. :(

 

 

 

Perfectly logical

Creation moved LAcon to Burbank and then BurCon to Vegas. And now they added a new con in, wait for it, Burbank! Then why the hell did they move BurCon to Vegas in the first place if they are now going back to Burbank again? Where's the logic in that?

Pearls of wisdom XII

GOLD, SILVER, PREFERRED, GENERAL?


It really depends on your priorities. (And probably your budget, though that never managed to stop me from going Gold.) What is most important to you? Are you gonna be happy if you need binoculars to see the stage? Are autographs important to you? Cause it might be cheaper if they are included in the ticket. Do you really need to see Jensen and Jared at Sunday breakfast? (The answer is yes, BTW. It's always yes. lol)  


Personally, I would only ever go Gold.

Why?

Attending a con is not an everyday thing. I go to one or two a year and I want it to be special. The best it can be. If I go to the other side of the world for a con and travel 23 hrs to get there, I want it ALL. Or as close to all as I can afford. (Which really isn't all at all, but whatever. *is sad*)

If you go Gold, you'll be sitting somewhere in the first 10ish rows. And the closer you sit, the... well, closer you are. I love taking photos and the less heads there are in front of me, the better. Photos are really important to me, so sitting somewhere in row Z just wouldn't work for me.

Also, Gold comes with perks: Sunday breakfast, cocktail party, getting your autograph in under 5 hrs. lol

It's expensive as hell, but honestly, if I couldn't go Gold, I wouldn't go at all. But like I said, it all comes down to your priorities and what works for you.   

Sorry, don't speak Ebglish. Would English do?

OK, I'm back to perusing job ads. (Can't believe I used that word. :/)

There's this ad. They're looking for Internet organizers. Whatever that is. They need people who speak Ebglish (their word, not mine) and know something about... eBay, I guess. It's a part-time, work from home job with flexible hours. I'm just not really sure what the job is all about.

How the hell am I supposed to bullshit my way through the cover letter if I don't know what skills they are looking for???

They look photoshopped, you say?

My photo ops. PLEASE DO NOT REPOST. Actually, if possible, do not download at all. Thank you. :)



First of all, I swear to Castiel, even though some of these photo ops look like somebody took two people from two completely different photos and photoshopped them together (badly, might I add), they are, in fact, NOT photoshopped. Also, Jared and Misha are really not that green in RL.

Oh and, I hate that bloody chair.


--> Jensen

Color me disappointed. And possibly slightly ticked off. Why did I even bother with the whole outfit when you can't see the pants? They were quite possibly the most important part of the whole outfit!!! Next time I'll go to the photo op room wearing a nice top, pajama pants and fluffy slippers. Why the hell not?! It's not like anybody will see that.



--> Jensen

When it comes to my POs that look like two ppl were photoshopped together, this one's the worst. Jensen's more or less sharp and I'm all blurry and out of focus. Which does wonders for my wrinkles, but still.



--> Jared

This was a good one. :D Too bad you can only see half of it. Anyways, I got there and Jared said: Sitrstand? And I was like: What? Oh! Yeah, it doesn't matter. So he remained seated, turned towards me and hugged the hell out of me. :D I'm pretty sure it took us a few seconds to figure out how to rearrange the legs and I think in the end it worked out quite well, but it's not like I'll ever be able to see that. *shout-out to the photographer*

Was it something I said? (Yes, it was.) lol

Some say less is more. Like hell it is!

If you need to know more about these photo ops, I think I wrote about some of them in my con reports.


Only 7 POs this time. :(
