Salute to Supernatural

Last month we made our way to Dallas for a Supernatural convention. That's right. Officially a convention geek now. The moment I saw the first episode of Supernatural I was hooked. I mean, two brothers in a '67 Chevy Impala fighting evil supernatural beings. Sign me up. I speak for my entire family when I say we're fans. We make Supernatural references on the daily (OK maybe not daily, but a lot). We're big nerds when it comes to this show. When we found out the convention was coming to Texas, we had to make it happen.


Let me just take a moment to talk about the photo op with Jared and Jensen a.k.a. Tad's worst nightmare. Kandee and I had been discussing how we were going to pose for weeks. Kandee wouldn't stop practicing her pose in the hotel. Embarrassing, but true. Well all of that changed when we were in the room. I just knew we had to go in for a hug and that's what we did. I'm not one to usually get star-struck. When I was an intern for HBO in L.A., I was completely professional when it came to events and meeting some pretty talented actors. Well, got a little speechless when we met these two. We only exchanged a few words, but Jensen is as witty as his character and that Jared, a real peach! When we received the pictures this week, we were thrilled to bits. And how cute are my mom and aunt Carol? They were just loving every minute.

What about Tad? He is a huge X-Files fan and since Supernatural has the same director-producer, it's no surprise he enjoys it a little himself. He was such a good sport to come with all of us girls and even got a picture with the Impala. What a stud.

So that's our convention experience in a nutshell. You should probably go watch Supernatural now.

  1. cute! I saw the first few episodes when it came out but I lost track of it. I was a big Smallville fan and really wanted to go to comicon to see Tom Welling lol But that was in CA. I remember One Tree Hill went to Dallas one year and I was all geared to go, had my soundtrack to get autographed, and chickened out that morning.

    1. Of course I was also a huge OTH fan. Can completely understand chickening out! I came close. Why does meeting our TV friends make us so nervous? Sigh.

  2. I like the positive spin you put on Tad's experience at the convention. Awh, I love that we have these pictures, for real. I hope we can make these into poster size. Sam's embrace...I will reflect on it forever.

  4. This is sooo cool!! I wish I had known about it. I would have loved a Winchester sandwich picture! LOL I'm a friend of Kandee's from college, btw. She directed me here after I requested photos. :) I hear they're having another one next year in Dallas for Supernatural and also A Vampire Diaries one, too. I've gotta try to go!!
