I only went to the last day of the event. So I only have pictures for the Sunday. Jensen, Jared, Jim and Richard.

First of all, I did a report/transcript of the con yesterday if anybody else was interested in reading that.

Secondly, I didn't have amazing seats. I was sitting in T42, BUT I have an amazing camera. So the pictures turned out better than you may think. There are a couple heads in the way every now and then. I'll post a few under the cut. THESE PICTURE HAVE BEEN RESIZED!! They are originally (3888x2592) and that's the size of all the pictures I have in the zip files.

And lastly, feel free to use these in any graphics you may wish to make. I don't need credit for that. But if you're gonna repost them, please credit to salsa_babe or Naficeh Hamidi Toosi. Or link back to this post if that's easier for you.

Just got back from the convention! Thought I'd get the report and the pictures up as quickly as possible.

Lets start with the report while the pictures upload...I might do the pictures in a different post if they take too long.

I'm just gonna skip ahead to the panels because, well, I didn't have a photo op so I couldn't let you what happened in them. Jensen came out to a every enthusiastic crowd to say the least. They had fallen over an hour behind doing photo ops..., but I'll get to that later.
Jensen started out by thanking everyone for coming and went on the apologize abut the lateness. He blamed Jared of course. Said something along the lines of, 'Anything being late is generally Jared's fault...and some people over here probably know about that...'. The crew of Supernatural was sitting to the left side of the stage (Jensen's left).
A lady in the crowd yelled 'JENSEN, YOU ROCK!' which Jensen hear as 'Take if off'. He said something about skipping all the foreplay.
Jensen talked a little about how the pilot was filmed in LA and the series was going to be filmed in LA, but how they lucked into an amazing crew in Vancouver.

This is when the questions started. I'm just gonna kind go point form with these. Transcribe it from what I remember. And yeah. I get really detailed so before you ask, me and a friend both put our head together for this. And I recorded small sections on my cell phone.

( Under the cut Q&A style. Some small spoilers. Long as hell. )

Ok so that was just Jensen and Jared and Jensen together. I'd also like to point out that we didn't get Jared alone. Damn Creation. And the panel was only an hour total as opposed to the hour and a half it should have been.

You want to click on this cut. You want it.
It's a map of the building they use at Riverview. The Crease Building is one of the abandoned buildings in the Riverview mental institute that Supernatural uses to film EVERYTHING. Hotel rooms, hospitals, offices..and in the case scenes from Yellow Fever!!

A friend of mine found it at Riverview and gave it to me. I seriously have the bestest friends ever.

An articles about Kim Manner from January 28th's Vancouver Province. Mentions of both Supernatural and of the X-Files. A quote from one of the guy in the grip department.

So as I promised in the picture post I made yesterday, here are the videos of Jared and Jensen at the RedBull Soapbox races.

There are two videos is one zip file. One that's about 5 minutes long (them sitting on the hay after their race) and another is only about 30 seconds long (Jensen outside of Hell's Kitchen restaurant). Both videos have a resolution of 720x480.

I haven't edited the videos so please ignore the talking in the background. (I also haven't watched them myself so if I say anything super embarrassing please ignore that too...)

Enjoy!


SO SORRY! FORGOT TO MENTION. If your computer can't read the file CHANGE THE FILE FORMAT TO .AVI AFTER UNZIPPING IT!

EDIT! - Here are the Youtube links. Here and Here.

I just got back from the RedBull Soapbox Race 2008 and I'm pretty sure I had the best day of my life.
I MET JENSEN ACKLES!
So here's what happened!  Along with a few pictures of me and my friend with Jensen, our signed shirts and the rest of the pictures in a zip file.


Jared won the race by a long shot and Jensen crashed into the hay after crossing the finish line. Good effort.
They were both wearing Vancouver Canucks jerseys (of the NHL) with Ackles and Padalecki on the backs. Jensen was #13 and Jared was #14.

They hung out for a bit by the media and waited for a cart to take them back up to the top of the hill. Jared seemed to be really hyper (probably because of all the free RedBull). He was jumping around a lot. While they were waiting, another race was going on. One of the cars in that race crashed (I think it lost a wheel) so Jared got really excited and got up for a better view. Jensen was just watching Jared and laughing. At one point, Jared was demonstrating how cramped he was in the tiny soapbox racer.

A cart came and took them to the top. By the time me and my friend made it up, they weren't there but we were lucky enough to run into them on the way back down.

They went into a restaurant called Hell's Kitchen where a private after party was going on. You had to have tags to get in. The restaurant had a patio so we waited outside for a little bit trying not to look super creepy. At one point Jared came out and it looked like he was looking for someone. I turns out he was waiting for Jensen.

Jensen went in but came back out into the patio where my friend and I went up to him and asked him to sign our shirts (the shirts have a picture of Sam and Dean on the front and they say 'Samwin Deanchester' on the back because we couldn't decide between them). We also got picture taken with him and he took one with my mom too after I mentioned that she's been a fan of his since Days of Our Lives.
I didn't really pay attention to who he was with (because when you're face to face with Jensen Ackles everything else just looses meaning) but for some reason they looked familiar and they all got a kick out of the shirts so I'm guessing they might have something to do with the show. Crew and such maybe?

And finally, we said bye and as we were turning to walk away he was like, "Awweesome."

I do have videos of them from basically the time they got out of the race cars to when they got on the cart to leave. I haven't watched it yet so I'm not sure if you can make out what they're saying but Jared was being pretty darn loud so you might. I have to get around to uploading those once I figure out how to resize them to fit onto youtube.
