Me, the biggest skeptic of all, fell for the fan girl experience.
I didn’t get it… at first.…

Wow, so many people to reply to! I had no idea that my little brush with greatness would get so much attention. I know, did I learn nothing from this weekend? Thanks everyone for your great comments of support. I'm glad I had the opportunity to share the experience.
For the record, I slapped my forehead when I was done with the Sera Gamble question. I was in too much of a daze to remember to tell Jared I gave Sera crap for the mellon baller in the eye socket thing. I'm sure he would have appreciated that.
Also for the record, the review for "I Know What You Did Last Summer" is coming VERY soon. It's almost done. I left for the con, hoping to buy it on iTunes so I could give it the proper repeat viewings needed for a decent review, and it wasn't available until Sunday. By that time, the bandwidth at the hotel was down to a crawl and it was J2 day, so downloading an episode wasn't happening.
Carrie - The volunteers were just wonderful. Thanks for letting me know you're one of them! I don't know about LA. That's not easy driving distance from Ohio. I'd love to go though.
Cyndyls - I'll mention the People's Choice nomination on my preview article on Wednesday. I have three excellent clips for Thursday's episode to share.
Mary - I shared my story with a few Blogcritics bloggers and several told me the same thing, if you put something out there, you never know who's going to read it. Don't sell your stuff short. I have a hunch they know about you too.
Robin - I remember you! We were in the Q&A line together a few times this weekend. I was only a few people behind you in the Jared line. Great to put a face with the name.
As for others that were there, I'm sure I met you in a line somewhere! I feel like I met practically everyone. Next time we'll have to wear shirts with our real names then online names.
If anyone Internationally has a chance to fly to a con, I recommend doing it once. One of the people in the group I had dinner with came from Switzerland. She was the one that asked Jensen the words question ("Pig in a Poke"). There were many people from foreign countries there, and it added to the experience.

I've beena Trekkie and SciFi fan for decades. NEVER before have I been so obsessed with a TV show like I am with Supernatural!!! The stories, the scares, the laughs, and 2 truly sweet down-to-earth Texans have caught me.....hook, line and sinker. I went to the first SN chicago con last year, by myself. Had such a great time, I went back for more this year and I already have my seats picked out for next year. I am so glad that YOU GET IT!! You understand why some mother of two would pack up and go to a convention all by herself.......because I know when I get there....I will be with hundreds of kindred spirit who share the same passion for a gem of a show. Thanks for sharing your take on the convention. I look forward to more.

I'm glad that they recognized your article. I was hoping that they would read it when I found that article online. So that was really amazing.
I'm glad you asked that question. It was one of my favorite among all the questions asked. And Jared's answer was great.
I love reading convention reports since all of them say that they had a great time with other fans. I find it utterly amazing that different people from different backgrounds, different states, different countries (I'm from Malaysia.) manage to bond something as simple as a TV show. I hope to meet my online fans one day.
Anyway, glad you had a fantastic weekend. Hopefully you'll go to more of these and ask them more of your questions.

It's so cool that they recognized your article and that you had your great fan girl moment! Great story, well written-definitely worth my time to read! Thank you for posting this-it was great :)

Have just finished reading your article and just like you I don't consider myself to be a 'fangirl'
(I am too old for all that) and yet I totally understand how you must have felt.I think the atmosphere at the cons are incredible and just gets to normally cool sane headed people and you just can't help being ridden on the crest of it.
It's fantastic they recognised the article you had written and was appreciated.
Thanks for posting it was great to read.

OMG, that was YOU who asked the Gamble question?! Wish I would've known - I would've loved to have come up to say HI. I have been a fan of your reviews since reading your first (and now infamous) article. Great job and to be remembered by the boys as well - now THAT'S impressive. o/

Hi Alice,
I wanted you to know that I have found your reviews to be right on. I really love to read your reviews after each episode. I want to see your take on what we all see.
I just recently became a fan of the show this past May. I am going to attend my first convention in LA (March 2009). Your experience in Chicago has made me anxious about my upcoming trip/experience. I have met a lot of celebrities in my time, but I think I am going to be like that girl and freeze. That has only happened to me once. I hope I don't freeze when I meet Jared. I don't feel butterflies when I think of meeting Jensen -- just Jared. Why is that ?
I look forward to your upcoming reviews. I think it was awesome the boys had read your first article. You Rock !
Hope you will attend the LA convention. I would love to meet you.

Hi Alice
Thank you very much for this report
I'm outside the US and it's also very difficult for me to attend to a Convention but after reading you I'm thinking about sparing some money and try to live one and have my impressions "first hand" just like you did.
Anyway, thanks again ;-)
It must have been a blast when the J2 recognized your article !!!
Keep on writting ..
From Paris with Love
