Hi, my name is Eliann /ELLIE-ahn/ (not really, no). And I'm a conoholic (of the perpetually broke variety). But enough about me.
Let's talk about the important things in life. My blog stats. Because I just don't get it. If somebody comes here looking for... idk, whatever, or pretty pictures of Jensen, or whatever, (BTW, pictures of Clif, ppl?! Really?!), then why... WHAHAHAY!!! (sure, that's a word) don't they actually try to find what they were looking for??! There's more to this blog then just the first page. o.0 Shocking, I know.
Now, since I am such a giving person and am constantly doing my best to help my fellow man (shuddup everyone who knows me), I decided to make this as easy as possible.
So, for those who are too lazy ;p to browse through Blog Archive...

What to wear, where to stay, how to survive Jensen's killer smile when unleashed on you... and other unhelpful advice

And now, I would like to take a moment to pimp the rest of my brilliant posts, which are plentiful even though I say so myself. My blog is a true, albeit somewhat exaggerated, story of one woman's struggle to find a part-time job that would help her feed her addiction. It's ever so fascinating.
No, really, Blog Archive. Go. Now.
Comments are, well, mostly nonexistent, but also appreciated.
So.
I remembered I have a blog.
Then I came here and found a really old post that I never published. So I published it. It was written in the heat of the moment, but everything I said still stands, so I figured, I might as well.
I also read some of my old posts and found two typos. And I can't believe nobody told me! WTH, guys? I mean, I know lurking is a way of life, but for God's sake, necst time I write x instead of cs, feel free to tell me that. K?

Hope y'all have a happy and healthy New Year and lots of love and joy in your life. And enough money to attend at least one SPN con. You know I gotta say that. ;) Have fun and make the next 365 days count. (Yes, I checked, 2014 is not a leap year.)
This probably won't stick though. :(
I have two JIBs under my belt and I still don't understand why some ppl practically have an orgasm at the mere mention of Jus in bello.
I mean, I get it why the guests love it. They are being pampered by the staff and paid to have a vacation in Rome and see some of their friends. If I was them, I would probably love it too.
But I am not a paid guest. I am a paying attendee. And that, my dear lurkers, is a whole 'nother ballgame.
Let's talk about their organizing abilities. Oh, they do cram everything so, so nicely into those three days. But then the cattle has everything at the same time. Panels, photo ops, autographs and meet&greets. I am still just one person and can't be in four places at the same time. I did try, but alas.
Jared had to leave. I found out about that when I saw a woman crossing out his name on that schedule for photo ops. Why? Cause I wasn't in the theater when they announced it. Why? Cause I was standing in line to get my photo op done as soon as possible so I wouldn't miss the first panel. Ah, the joys of JIB. BTW, nobody bothered to change the schedule in front of the theater. They just had to cross his name out and add Ty to one panel. Nobody did that. So for the rest of the day it was like, Oh, I wonder what's next.
Then out of the blue, they announced Jensen & Misha photo op on Saturday. I admit it, I panicked. That photo op was supposed to be on Sunday and I was completely makeupless and in all the wrong clothes. I hurried to the reception desk to find out if they'd still have J&M photo op on Sunday. The woman there didn't really know anything about it. But in the end it turned out it was the ex-trio photo op and not J&M photo op. But I missed like 10 minutes of the panel, so all was good. Since, I assume, that IS their main goal. To make us miss the panels.
And now let's talk about refunds. According to their website: "we will contact by email in the next few weeks those of you who've brought their photo op/extra autograph/meet&greet postcards back at the reception desk during JIBCON 4 asking for refund."
So, we were supposed to bring those postcards to reception desk during JIB if we wanted refund? That's good to know. Would've probably helped more if I had known about it during JIB, but WTH, right? Let's just complicate things.
To be fair, they did say that they would deal with refunds after the con, but then they plastered the whole area with announcements saying that they will take care of refunds a few weeks after the con and that there will be more info about it on their website. Nobody ever mentioned that we had to return the postcards. But I'm sure it's all my fault. Should've read their minds.
Now, in the interest of fairness, I should mention all the good things about JIB too. Y'know, give credit where credit is due. So, here goes. Photo ops weren't green and blurry this year.
Photos I took during her Q&A at VegasCon 2013.
If you want to repost any of the photos, you can. But PLEASE CREDIT ME. And I'd really appreciate it if you would let me know where you reposted them. I like to know where my photos end up. :)

Photos I took during karaoke at VegasCon 2013.
If you want to repost any of the photos, you can. But PLEASE CREDIT ME. And I'd really appreciate it if you would let me know where you reposted them. I like to know where my photos end up. :)
I actually uploaded 278 photos. Then I deleted 46 photos. And then 17 more. 215 photos managed to survive. But the way I'm going, I might delete more. :p
I did leave quite a few photos that are very similar. I did that on purpose. If you go quickly from one photo to another, it looks like the people are moving. So, not really a video, but the next best thing. lol
Who was there?
Richard Speight Jr. (and his chest hair)
Matt Cohen (and Mandy Musgrave)
Rob Benedict and the rest of Louden Swain Elastic Waste Band
James Patrick Stuart (that's just one guy)
Gabriel Tigerman (+ glasses)
