Asylum Europe Report - Sunday
Okay guys... since my internet kinda died yesterday and I can't do anything about it (the electrician will come over at 4 pm -_-) I might as well finish my report of Asyulm Europe's Sunday ;)
Saturday evening had ended kind of disappointing for me as I was so tired and not motivated at all that I went to bed 'early' and missed all the fun stuff (talking to Jason and Jim)... anyway, did I mention that while I was babysitting the cocktails I was sitting at the table next to Mark and Jason? Can I haz my price nao? :P Whatever...
So in the morning I got up early (again as the only one, the other two were just such sleepyheads XD) and got dressed and headed downstairs. Since I had time I went to the breakfast room to eat something and sat with two nice girls who let me join their table - thanks again for that :)
When I went to the buffet, I spotted Brian sitting at a table not far from there and at that moment he too saw me. And he was like: „No... NO! Not now!“ and I just started laughing and assured him, that I wouldn't bother him during breakfast XD So I finished breakfast and met up with Christina and Lena again to make plans for the next few hours.
* * * *
Woman and I managed to get Coffee Lounge tickets then and grinning like a maniac I met up with Stephanie and some other girls outside and we waited until the stage hall was opened. At 9.30 am the panel of Misha and Mark should've taken place - yeah well... at 10.15 or so Doug was finally coming to the stage and announced M²... I made much more notes during/after that panel than any other so... enjoy ^^
* * * *
Mark + Misha Panel
• When they first got on the stage Doug had put a bear thingy on Mishas chair and he was a bit confused about it. It was supposed to be given to someone as a lottery prize... I didn't even know about this... anyway, it wasn't that cool so I'm not really sad ^^ So reveria got sent to the stage to give Misha the bag with the names of the participants and Misha drew a winner. He said this morning started bad for everyone but the winner, since we now all were losers XD
• When they were asking how we were doing, only one girl screamed very loudly and Misha was all like „Wow, there's only one person awake in here” and imitated her: "'I'M AWAKE :D!!'“ XD
• Mark started off by asking us: „You have any questions, you FREAKSSSSSSS~??“ which made us „Aaaw“ all over again (which Misha seemed to like XD)
• Next was the kangaroo girls second turn... honestly - at this point I was starting to getting annoyed... before she could ask her question, Misha told her: „I can't believe that you actually came back for more“ and then he cracked up by saying „If you could be any kind of animal...“ - LOOOOL!!! I was laughing so hard at this moment!!
Her question however ended up being one of the most embarassing things I had ever witnessed... she asked how they would react, if she put a ring of salt around them and then even came to the stage (not really being asked but kinda forcing it onto the stars) and put a ring of salt around them. They played along well and Misha even pulled his chair into the ring but... just... no... it was SO embarassing... of course, everyone was laughing, but it was so incredibly wrong... such a childish, embarassing thing... I was clapping and cheering, too - but I was admiring the patience and the kindness of Mark and Misha... sorry again for this... not all Germans are like that... after a while Mark stepped outside the ring and started dancing in a kinda gay way o_O
• Misha then told us a story about a girl school he once visited and they had a weird rule saying, that whatever you do: you would always have to keep one foot on the ground. So some times there were like three feet in the bed and one on the ground XD
• Next was the girl I had breakfast with asking them what team (Angel, Hunter or Demon) they would join if they had to choose. Her English was not so well, so she ended up pronouncing it incorrect and Misha asked her with a slightly puzzled look
„If we had two shoes?!“
She continued to stutter and Misha cracked up so many times XD She repeated her question and Misha was all like:
„I'm more the type of one shoe.“
And anyone who did see “Karla” might agree with me that THIS is fucking creepy and disgusting………. OMFG, I can’t even… ARGH!!!
They then agreed on Team Free Will XD When she was leaving Misha asked her „You seem disappointed“ and she was like „no“. He asked her, what team SHE would choose and she said „Team Demon“, which made him 'sad'. He said he would take back his invitation to his ring of salt but in the end she got on stage and stepped into the ring with them XD
• Doug then got to the microphone and asked Misha how he felt about Mark trying to gather Lucifers Legions to fight against Mishas Minions XD And that's when the bitchfight started XDDDD Mark said that 'Minons' sounded like something you had to remove from your genitals. Here is the transcript of the epic bitchfight of Lucifer vs Castiel:
- Mark: „I had a Minion and you removed it.“
- Misha: „Is it normal for a Legion to have this much puss?“
- Mark: „Can I touch my Minion?“
- Misha: „........“
- Mark: „Is that a Minion in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?“
- Misha: XDDDDDD
• The girl who asked the next question started with „So, my question goes to both of US“ and Misha cracked up again and so did the audience XDD Mark asked her, which personality of her is asking the question XDD When everyone calmed down she asked them, what the weirdest gift they'd ever gotten from a fan was. Misha then told us about an apron he just got yesterday (Saturday) with chest hair on it and an inflatable penis O_O!! Misha said that he likes it and Mark added that „It's great for flipping burgers!“ and said that he never got such a weird present from a fan. Misha asked him „You want mine?“ Mark then said that he hasn't gotten that kind of presents because his Legions are cooler. And the bitchfight continued XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
- Mark: „You know, when I sit down my Minion hurts.“
- Misha: „That's probably cause of the Legion on it. Because Minions are normally healthy and strong!“
- Audience: „Whoooooo!!!!!“
- Misha: „And smart and talented and fast...“
• Then someone wanted to know about their bad habits. Misha said that his was „Giving lots of money to poor people“ and she was like „I'm poor :D“ and he continued „Also I'm lying to people.“ When Mark didn't answer she asked him why he was looking so evil and he replied: „Because I'm sucking your brain out of your head right now!“
He then asked her, what HER bad habit was and she said it was singing so they demanded her to sing something and she and a friend sang „Alle meine Entchen“, a German song for children. And just when I thought it couldn't get even more embarassing SHE ASKED if they could join them in the ring of salt... duh -_- I just wanted to kill the next person who would ask for a) the ring of salt or b) getting a hug because she was so 'nervous' -___- Srsly... EM-Fucking-BARASSING!!
• Next in line was Leandra who actually wanted to ask them the same question as Doug did (about the Legions and Minions) and since that had already been answered, she would come up with a very stupid question: „If you had to be an animal, what would you choose to be?“ Of course everyone cracked up.
- Mark: „I would be a baby seal.“
- Misha: „And I would be an adult male human seal hunter!“
- Leandra: „That's not an animal.“
- Misha: „Yes, it is U_U! Where's the zoologist? What kind of animal would you be?“
- Zoologist: „Dolphin!“
- Mark: „Great answer!“
• Misha then said that this started to remind him of an elementary school party (worse IMHO... more like a kindergarten party...).
• Next was Jaina and she asked Mark to sing with her. She gave him the sheets of music and he was like „WTH is that?“ Jaina then began to sing the song and Mark joined in. It was awesome! Misha left the stage at that point and just watched XD While Jaina and Mark sang, he got on stage again and started to clean the carpet from the salt XDDD
• They both tried to pronounce Bad Neuenahr then correctly and managed pretty well ;)
• Next question was, if they had any favourite actors and Mark just said „No.“ Misha then looked over to the tech guys and gave them signs and made weird noises, so they started playing a scene from Season 4, Episode 20, where we could here his German voice. When we heard Jared's German voice everybody - including Misha - cracked up and so we did when we heard Mishas German voice. Misha was all like: „Stop, it hurts!“ A girl told him that he sounds like Jude Law to us because it's the same German voice. He seemed to like that ;)
• When they were being asked what kind of monster they would like to see in Season 6, Misha said „The Cookie Monster“ and Mark started talking like the cookie monster XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
• They were then being asked if they could swap a character trait with their characters on the show, what would it be. Mark didn't get the question so Misha told him that like maybe he could get the ability to snap his fingers and make somebody’s head explode. Mark looked a little puzzled and then said he already HAD this ability XD Misha laughed and told us that it's true, that Mark had been cast as Lucifer only because of this. When we demanded proof, Mark said that his finger was not loaded today XDDDD
• A girl then asked what they would do after a hard, stressful working day. Mark answered that he would go home and talk to his wife or if he was away he would call her, read a book or just relax. Misha just nodded and said it was pretty much the same with him. Reading, relaxing, calling Marks wife XDDDDDDDDDD
• Misha was then being asked if he got world domination, what would he do with it. Misha answered: „This is turning more and more into a political campaign!“ And once again he and Mark started bitching again XD
- Misha: „The whole point of the Mishas Minions thing was that there was no democracy […] It's about coersion.“
- Mark: „So you all are blind followers to an authority? In the Legion - we are one. You are all powerful - not mindless.“
• Next a girl asked them if they could switch roles and play a scene with Mark as Castiel and Misha as Lucifer. When they asked what scene they should do, I screamed „EXPLODE!“ and everybody cracked up XD So Misha started to make a bad imitation of Jared as Lucifer saying „Did you just molotov my brother?“ and Mark answered with the most gay voice you can imagine: „Hey, assbutt :D“
• And that's when things got even more embarassing... a girl asked what Misha thinks about Dean/Cas... okay guys... you know me... I'm a slasher and I LOVE Dean/Cas... I really do... but it's just a no-go topic!! FUCK, THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING GIRL!!! How would you feel discussing the fake homo sex life of the character you play with a teenage girl?? Thankfully the audience booed her out and Misha said that that's the common reaction to this question. Only one girl in the front was like „Yay“ and that made him crack up XD He then told us that apparantly an interviewer once wanted to talk to him about Slashfic because „Misha is studied“ XD He said that he only once started reading a slashfic and when he noticed what it was he was like
„o_o *reading interested* What is thi-UUGH!!!“
He then answered the question by saying, that he thinks it's a great cultural asset and that it unites the world and makes it a better place XD
• Someone told Misha that one of the increasing baby names for boys in the last year was „Castiel“. He said that the n°1 rising baby name could also mean that only one baby got named like that and compared to the zero ones from the year before that would be 100 % more XD
• One girl asked them to do a fight scene, but they kindly refused to do so. Misha asked us, why we always wanted to see fight scenes and I was tempted to shout „Because you look hot when you're bloody!!“ - but it was too long to shout it, I guess, so I didn't do it :( Mark said „I could punch you in the face“ again with a gay voice XD
• They were being asked what their first impression of Germany was and they said they liked everything, it was perfect - except of the Schnitzel XDDD
• In the end Doug came to the stage and said that it was time to go and the audience shouted „no“ and Misha was like „NO! We have so much more...“ but there was nobody else waiting to ask a question so we stopped there XD
* * * *
Since we began late with the first panel everything on the schedule was now of course 45 minutes late… so right after the panel, Misha and Mark headed to their Group Photo Ops with Jim (you could buy Misha + Mark, Misha + Jim, and all three of them I guess). And since the next panel would be Jim + Tracis they of course couldn’t begin without Jim (who was still at the Photo Ops). So we waited for the incredibly long queue for the Ops to decrease but it took ages. In the meantime I was running around to find out, if Mishas third Coffee Lounge would be on time or if it was also 45 minutes late.
So I first asked Kati, if it was possible to make a short announcement at the stage hall when it was going to begin (they did so for the photo ops before). Kati said, I should go and ask the tech guys. The tech guys sent me to Brian and Brian said, only Doug could make such an announcement. But Douggy didn’t have a mobile phone. So I headed back to the photo op queue where I finally found Doug. He was - as always on this weekend - a little confused but said that he could do that. I wasn’t really convinced, so wummen and I sat back in the last row of the stage hall and waited for the panel to start.
* * * *
Misha Coffee Lounge Part III
Suddenly Julia came running towards us and shouted that the Coffee Lounge would start any minute! So we hurried to the room and sat down (luckily Misha wasn’t there yet). We waited a while and I looked out the door - just to see Misha walking past the door, grinning at me o_O I was like: “WTH? Why are you walking past us? XD”. The room was soon completely full (there were so friggin many of us, must have been over 30 people o_O) and finally Misha came, too. He got in there (which was kind of a challenge in the first place) and said, that now we HAD to go outside. Inside we would’ve died… or we would have to sit on Mishas lap *squeee* XDDD
So we followed the Overlord outside. On our way we saw Marks Coffee Lounge group sitting not far away and so Misha walked straight through the group and many of us followed him XDDDD It was so funny, Mark and Misha bitching at each other. Mark shouted that we were all mindless followers XD Finally we sat down a few inches away from the spot we sat down the day before. It was rather difficult to include everyone in the circle and there were some people sitting in the second row and far away. I was lucky again and sat down like 3 or 4 places away from him <3
First it was gift-time again and Misha got an orange (!) flower necklace (typical for us Europeans during the soccer championship to represent our countries) and a calendar of the hometown of one girl. Misha tried to pronounce the name of it right but failed XD Reveria had brought some sweets and began handing out gummybears (of course… what did I do? Now poor Misha gets showered in gummybears wherever he goes ;_; ), russian bread and marshmallows. When he tried the russian bread, I said that this would suit him best, since he is Russian (LOL! Of course NOT but you get my drift) and he pulled a face and handed the bag to a girl on his right. So I guess he didn’t really like it ;)
When he was being asked if he liked orange, he told us that it’s actually his favourite colour. But not because he likes it so much but because he chose it as a child and now he’s kinda stuck with it XD I laughed and said that as long as he wouldn’t paint his house like that, it’d be okay… and he grinned at me and told us, that he actually HAD painted the walls in his house orange XDDDDDDD
He told us that he had bought a house a few years ago and started tearing down every wall in it and rebuilding it one by one, so that at this point the roof is the only remaining original part of the house XD There was a time, when he had only one room with walls and since the rest of the house was all broken and ugly and depressing, he decided he needed to paint the walls in this room (and the fan on the ceiling of it) orange… with blue stripes… UGH XD
Furthermore he decided to build a hottub in his bathroom, so he started digging a hole in the middle of it. The dirt he dug out of course remained as a little mountain on its side… so since finishing a hottub never really was the number one on his to-do-list, Mr Collins lived with a pile of dirt and a muddy hole in his bathroom for several months XDDDD So when he finally came to the conclusion, that he wouldn’t finish the hottub ever, he brought the dirt outside and built a little mountain in his garden - and since he needed to close the hole, he BOUGHT DIRT to do so XDDDD MISHA!!!! Goddamn, that guy just kills me with his ‘logic’ XDDD
Someone asked what his impression of Germany was so far and he said, that he really liked it. This place was really beautiful and even though the train trip on Friday wasn’t very convenient, our trains were very clean and he had the chance to see some beautiful castles and stuff outside the window. He then asked us what places in Europe we would recommend him to see. Some girls told him some places he should visit and some he better shouldn’t. Like when he said that he was going to rent a car in Paris, we all laughed and told him better NOT to XDD Stephanie told him a story of when she once drove by car in Paris and got on the third SPUR of the road - and it did take her about 2 hours to get outside of the circle and on the road she wanted to go XDDDD Of course we all laughed at that because it is true! So he decided to cancel the reservation for his car and thanked us for watching out for him XD
We told him that he HAD to go up the Eiffel Tower, preferably by night, and that he could try to get into a group, since they a) would get on the tower faster and b) there is a group discount. He suggested tweeting to his minions about this and we all laughed, since then he would gather more than one group for sure XD
Somehow we were suddenly talking about Australia again and Reveria told Misha, that she couldn’t believe that he didn’t manage to see a single kangaroo, since they were EVERYWHERE, when she went there. She recommended two places to him, where he would certainly see some and Misha looked at her grumpily and asked her, why she hadn’t told him before XD
Someone asked him if he did remember the Minion Bible he was being given some time ago and he told us about it. That it was a book with drawings and text passages and photos inside of it. Photos of Minions marking places as “Property of Mishas Minions” all over the world.
In the end someone asked him if he ever had been to Europe before and he grinned and asked, if anyone of us had been in his second CL on Saturday and since some of us already knew the story, he only shortly summarized it XD So we heard the story of his horror trip through Paris again ^^
Later he told us that after college he had owned a Software Company - even though he knew NOTHING about computers at that time XDDDDD They even managed to make a translating program and some company even wanted to buy it - for 1 Mio $ !!! And what did Misha do? He was being cocky and arrogant and told them to fuck off - “1 Mio? It’s worth so much more, get off of my property!” XDDDD So, in the end - Misha didn’t manage to find another buyer and never sold it. Since then the program lies in one of his drawers XD
Since Misha had mentioned Glee during his first stage talk, some girl asked him, if he really watches it and if he had a favourite character. He told us that he once had watched it but now doesn’t anymore. His favourite character was “the cheerleading coach” and we told him, her name was Sue Sylvester. Since I just had gotten my group photo (on which everybody made the Glee-sign) before the CL, I had it with me and showed it to him. He took it, looked at it and cracked up XDDD He then told us that if someone had told him he would someday earn money with THIS, he would never have believed it XD
Here's the pic once again ;)
During the CL many old people walked past us and one old man was coming very close and Misha was like
“o_O… *whispering to us* He’s a spy!“
A girl later asked him, what it feels like to sit outside, enjoying the sun and having coffee (or not, because noone brought coffee and drinks outside XD) with 30 girls - and getting paid for it? Misha of course laughed about that and said, that it’s absolutely amazing. He would never have guessed to get here when he had started doing Supernatural. He told us that on his first Convention he was completely surprised of the lack of men. He thought it would be more like the Star Trek Conventions and had prepared to talk to teenage boys (who would be his main audience XD)…
He then asked us why we think that the show is so appealing to girls and we told him, that it’s the storyline and the emotions and he cracked up, winking at us. “Of course”, he said, continuing laughing and I said “I watch for the plot” which is a common phrase which you can find on several icons showing naked men bodies XDDD Of course we watch for the plot… the hot sexy guys are just… a bonus :P
I then asked him, where his first convention had been and he said it was in New Jersey and that if we ever wanted to visit the US - we shouldn’t start with NJ XD
Furthermore he was being asked how he could’ve stayed so calm during his first scene in the barn and he laughed and told us, he had no idea. They had made his hair wet so that it wouldn’t catch fire and what looked like he was being cool on screen was in fact just him being absolutely freaking out XD
During all this I continued looking out for Brian, who was standing behind Misha, because this Coffee Lounge was already a lot longer than the one before and Marks group was already long gone. So eventually one of the staff girls interrupted us after what must have been over an hour and asked us if we would like to do a group photo (OF FUCKING COURSE!!) and Stephanie gave her her kick-ass camera!
After that we gathered the half-empty bags of gummybears and the other sweets and headed back to the hotel. Since the CL had taken so long (not that I’m complaining), Jim and Tracis panel was over already and even Chads panel had started. So I met up with my other girls and Lena and me got some french fries and sat down in the back of the stage hall, to watch the rest of Chads panel together.
* * * *
Jim + Traci Panel
I still wanted to post some pictures of the panel, because it was so cute ;-;
I'm sorry, I don't know who made the last pic :(
* * * *
Chad Panel
Since I wasn’t there most of the time I can’t really say something about it. I just remember that he did some really cool poses in the end (slapping his ass and stuff) and got off stage again :( Sorry, I wish I could write more but we were busy eating (like… our first meal on this day) and we were all the way in the back so we didn’t understand everything as well…
The lunch break after that was rather short due to the delay that morning (which was because Jim had overslept… duh XD) so soon Sams panel started.
* * * *
Samantha Panel
• She was being asked, if she likes Germany and she said that it’s lovely and that she would love coming back. But “everybody’s pretty old here…” XD We explained to her that this was a town for medical rehab and she was like: “Aaah, that explains everything!” ;)
• She told us a story about when she begged Eric to finally use a real gun on set and she was running around with a shotgun, using it all day (I dunno what it’s called… loading it? You know, the ‘tschk tschk’ sound it makes ^^)… so whenever the camera started rolling the dialogue went on like this:
Camera guy: “Rolling.”
Sam: *tschk tschk*
Camera guy: “SAM!!”
• Somebody asked her what her first acting role had been and she told us that she only had to screem XD In a movie called “Viper” or so o_O?
• She was being asked if she had a ritual she did before doing difficult scenes, like e.g. the death scene of Ellen and Jo. She said that she didn’t really need to do that. When shooting this scene, everyone got really quiet, they dimmed the lights and just let her and Alona Tal (Jo) do the scene. She was so in character that she cried the whole time and when they had done all shots of Jo, they asked her if she had got any tears left. So the scene was very difficult but she had acted with all her heart.
She then told us that soon after the episode was being aired she had gotten a letter from a girl who had lived in Canada. She had seen the episode and it had made her realize how much she missed her mom, who still lived in Australia or so and whom she hadn’t seen for years. So she moved back to Australia. While telling us about this, Sam started crying. You could really see that she loves her job and that it touches her, that people are grateful for what she does.
• She said that she was more like Ellen than like Nina Jarvis (The 4400).
• In the end when there were no more questions there was suddenly Mishas voice coming out of nowhere and with a terrible German accent he asked Sam:
“I just wanted to know wat it was like to work wiss Jared end Jensen and wat was se best part of working wiss Misha Collins?”
Sam cracked up and so did we and she asked him “Who?” XD She said that J² are the nicest boys you could imagine but the worst part was Jareds farting, to which Misha agreed. She laughed and asked him how he could know about that. She then said that working with Misha was okay. That he was not unattractive but didn’t have a good humor, very flat XD When she had answered his questions she asked: “Are you satisfied now, Mr Sauerkrautz?”
* * * *
Autograph Session 2
Afterwards it was time for the second part of the Autograph Session and since I already had mine, I waited outside with the lovely twins Vanessa and Katharina and some other girls. We were talking about Supernatural (what else), what episodes we liked, how we experienced the finale and so on. It was so good talking to other fans about this in person <3 Finally, when the queue got smaller, I gathered my courage to ask Brian for a photo and one of the twins took it for me. Doug came from behind and sneaked his way into the photo XD Love it! Brian was so funny, hugging me tightly and laughing with me! He was just so very nice!! Hope he’ll be back next year for AE2!!
Brian and me | lovely Kerstin <3
Sadly I couldn’t have been there when the RH girls handed Misha and the others the T-Shirts and gifts so they told me all about it and I must say, I’m a bit… well… not pissed… but they told them, the Justin Bieber Merchandise thingy had been Julias idea… which it was NOT. It was mine… I dunno… it’s not that it means anything to the stars, if it was Ines’ idea or Julias… but it just kinda pisses me off… I didn’t want to share my idea, I wanted to give him something from Justin Bieber - and I only told everyone about the idea in order to make it a prank, where we ALL would give him something from Justin Bieber. Well… anyway… I know that I won’t do this again in future… *sigh*…
Sam and Chad leaving the Autograph Room | Misha on the stairs
Anyway, we stayed outside of the entrance to the room in order to make some photos of the stars coming out (very subtle, I know)… and then headed downstairs to the stage hall, where soon the Closing Ceremony would take place. Met up with Vanessa and Katharina again and we got in the back of the stage hall to make some photos together. It was so sweet, they were totally happy that we spent so much time together and we couldn’t stop hugging. I said “bye” to them as a precaution, because I didn’t know when after the CC I would have to leave, so once again we hugged and hugged and hugged… srsly, it was addicting XD
* * * *
Closing Ceremony
Misha running on stage | Misha and the rest cheering for us (gifs made by me)
Eventually Doug came on stage and thanked us for our support and announced, that there would be an Asylum Europe next year as well!! Of course we went crazy about that, because it was said that this would be the only German Convention!!! Finally he announced all the guests (when he called Mishas name, once again Brian ran on stage, like he did in the Opening Ceremony XDD LOL!!). Unfortunately the music was so damn loud that NO ONE could understand a single word Doug had said and also Misha was like “WHAT??” all the time XD
Finally he got a hold of the microphone and told us “We love you guys! It was awesome to be here! […] I hope we’ll see you again, hopefully next year.” Mark was like “We’re coming to get you next year” with his creepy voice XD Jim stated “Deutschland, ihr seid die Besten” and Jason just said “Dankeschön.” Sam smiled and said “Ich liebe dich” whereas Chad was being Chad and said: “Something really funny :D?!” In the end Traci - I think - tried to say something German, messed up and ended up saying “Namaste” XDD
* * * *
The Goodbye
Katharina, me and Vanessa <3
Kerstin and me
Julia and me
Lena, Julia and me
Stephanie and me
Everybody wants to lift me up, right? XD In this case it's Christina <3
Me and the gang (Christina, Lena, Julia, Kathrin and Kerstin)
When everyone got off the stage I knew the post con blues wouldn’t bee too far… so I gathered my loved ones and we got outside, enjoyed the sun and talked about the weekend. Wummen called her dad and told me they would pick us up in an hour. So I started searching the hotel for everyone I had met on this weekend in order to say goodbye. First I went to the registration desk, where we could already buy tickets for next years convention (o_O) and found some girls in the queue and said goodbye.
On the other end of the queue there was Brian, who sold the tickets and when I got to him and told him, that I was leaving - he stood up and walked around the table and hugged me ;O;!!! GOSH I LOVE THIS MAN!!! I told him ‘thank you’ and that I hope he’ll be there next year and that I’ll miss him… then I got outside and searched for everyone else I had met this weekend. And I even managed to find everyone - except Kati and Reveria T_T So I got to my room and packed my stuff and said goodbye to Lena. I got upstairs to the lobby and waited for wummen - when the Autograph room opened and Kati walked towards me! I was so happy I had found her and we said goodbye. Soon wummen joined me and we got into the car and left Bad Neuenahr.
I was so sad that everything was over again already and that I couldn’t stay until Monday… Wummen and I looked at our photo ops, completed my notes of the panels and Coffee Lounges and talked about Supernatural all the time, so the journey felt as if it was just a few minutes.
In the end they even brought me straight home and didn’t want any money for the gas from me and… gosh, I’m still so grateful!!
Thank you so much you guys!! <3
* * * *
The Bottom Line
So… I don’t really know how to summarize this weekend… it was stressful, funny, tiring, exciting, sad and oh-so-wonderful!
I made SO MANY new friends, whom I really love deeply, made so many experiences I never want to miss (hello?! MISHA COLLINS LIFTED ME UP ON HIS ARMS!!!!) and gathered so many wonderful memories. I’m SO happy, I did go, even though I still do have a guilty conscience because I lied to my mom… she would’ve never let me go because of all the chaos of the move… but I’m happy nevertheless!
And I’m Convention-addicted… even though I need so much money for the move I’m still seriously thinking about finding a way how I could go to the Barcelona Convention… cross your fingers, please XD
So long my friends - thank you for all your support and nice words about my reports!
See you on the next Convention report, sweethearts <3
Saturday evening had ended kind of disappointing for me as I was so tired and not motivated at all that I went to bed 'early' and missed all the fun stuff (talking to Jason and Jim)... anyway, did I mention that while I was babysitting the cocktails I was sitting at the table next to Mark and Jason? Can I haz my price nao? :P Whatever...
So in the morning I got up early (again as the only one, the other two were just such sleepyheads XD) and got dressed and headed downstairs. Since I had time I went to the breakfast room to eat something and sat with two nice girls who let me join their table - thanks again for that :)
When I went to the buffet, I spotted Brian sitting at a table not far from there and at that moment he too saw me. And he was like: „No... NO! Not now!“ and I just started laughing and assured him, that I wouldn't bother him during breakfast XD So I finished breakfast and met up with Christina and Lena again to make plans for the next few hours.
* * * *
Woman and I managed to get Coffee Lounge tickets then and grinning like a maniac I met up with Stephanie and some other girls outside and we waited until the stage hall was opened. At 9.30 am the panel of Misha and Mark should've taken place - yeah well... at 10.15 or so Doug was finally coming to the stage and announced M²... I made much more notes during/after that panel than any other so... enjoy ^^
* * * *
Mark + Misha Panel
• When they first got on the stage Doug had put a bear thingy on Mishas chair and he was a bit confused about it. It was supposed to be given to someone as a lottery prize... I didn't even know about this... anyway, it wasn't that cool so I'm not really sad ^^ So reveria got sent to the stage to give Misha the bag with the names of the participants and Misha drew a winner. He said this morning started bad for everyone but the winner, since we now all were losers XD
• When they were asking how we were doing, only one girl screamed very loudly and Misha was all like „Wow, there's only one person awake in here” and imitated her: "'I'M AWAKE :D!!'“ XD
• Mark started off by asking us: „You have any questions, you FREAKSSSSSSS~??“ which made us „Aaaw“ all over again (which Misha seemed to like XD)
• Next was the kangaroo girls second turn... honestly - at this point I was starting to getting annoyed... before she could ask her question, Misha told her: „I can't believe that you actually came back for more“ and then he cracked up by saying „If you could be any kind of animal...“ - LOOOOL!!! I was laughing so hard at this moment!!
Her question however ended up being one of the most embarassing things I had ever witnessed... she asked how they would react, if she put a ring of salt around them and then even came to the stage (not really being asked but kinda forcing it onto the stars) and put a ring of salt around them. They played along well and Misha even pulled his chair into the ring but... just... no... it was SO embarassing... of course, everyone was laughing, but it was so incredibly wrong... such a childish, embarassing thing... I was clapping and cheering, too - but I was admiring the patience and the kindness of Mark and Misha... sorry again for this... not all Germans are like that... after a while Mark stepped outside the ring and started dancing in a kinda gay way o_O
• Misha then told us a story about a girl school he once visited and they had a weird rule saying, that whatever you do: you would always have to keep one foot on the ground. So some times there were like three feet in the bed and one on the ground XD
Click to view• Next was the girl I had breakfast with asking them what team (Angel, Hunter or Demon) they would join if they had to choose. Her English was not so well, so she ended up pronouncing it incorrect and Misha asked her with a slightly puzzled look
„If we had two shoes?!“
She continued to stutter and Misha cracked up so many times XD She repeated her question and Misha was all like:
„I'm more the type of one shoe.“
And anyone who did see “Karla” might agree with me that THIS is fucking creepy and disgusting………. OMFG, I can’t even… ARGH!!!
They then agreed on Team Free Will XD When she was leaving Misha asked her „You seem disappointed“ and she was like „no“. He asked her, what team SHE would choose and she said „Team Demon“, which made him 'sad'. He said he would take back his invitation to his ring of salt but in the end she got on stage and stepped into the ring with them XD
• Doug then got to the microphone and asked Misha how he felt about Mark trying to gather Lucifers Legions to fight against Mishas Minions XD And that's when the bitchfight started XDDDD Mark said that 'Minons' sounded like something you had to remove from your genitals. Here is the transcript of the epic bitchfight of Lucifer vs Castiel:
- Mark: „I had a Minion and you removed it.“
- Misha: „Is it normal for a Legion to have this much puss?“
- Mark: „Can I touch my Minion?“
- Misha: „........“
- Mark: „Is that a Minion in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?“
- Misha: XDDDDDD
• The girl who asked the next question started with „So, my question goes to both of US“ and Misha cracked up again and so did the audience XDD Mark asked her, which personality of her is asking the question XDD When everyone calmed down she asked them, what the weirdest gift they'd ever gotten from a fan was. Misha then told us about an apron he just got yesterday (Saturday) with chest hair on it and an inflatable penis O_O!! Misha said that he likes it and Mark added that „It's great for flipping burgers!“ and said that he never got such a weird present from a fan. Misha asked him „You want mine?“ Mark then said that he hasn't gotten that kind of presents because his Legions are cooler. And the bitchfight continued XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
- Mark: „You know, when I sit down my Minion hurts.“
- Misha: „That's probably cause of the Legion on it. Because Minions are normally healthy and strong!“
- Audience: „Whoooooo!!!!!“
- Misha: „And smart and talented and fast...“
• Then someone wanted to know about their bad habits. Misha said that his was „Giving lots of money to poor people“ and she was like „I'm poor :D“ and he continued „Also I'm lying to people.“ When Mark didn't answer she asked him why he was looking so evil and he replied: „Because I'm sucking your brain out of your head right now!“
He then asked her, what HER bad habit was and she said it was singing so they demanded her to sing something and she and a friend sang „Alle meine Entchen“, a German song for children. And just when I thought it couldn't get even more embarassing SHE ASKED if they could join them in the ring of salt... duh -_- I just wanted to kill the next person who would ask for a) the ring of salt or b) getting a hug because she was so 'nervous' -___- Srsly... EM-Fucking-BARASSING!!
• Next in line was Leandra who actually wanted to ask them the same question as Doug did (about the Legions and Minions) and since that had already been answered, she would come up with a very stupid question: „If you had to be an animal, what would you choose to be?“ Of course everyone cracked up.
- Mark: „I would be a baby seal.“
- Misha: „And I would be an adult male human seal hunter!“
- Leandra: „That's not an animal.“
- Misha: „Yes, it is U_U! Where's the zoologist? What kind of animal would you be?“
- Zoologist: „Dolphin!“
- Mark: „Great answer!“
• Misha then said that this started to remind him of an elementary school party (worse IMHO... more like a kindergarten party...).
• Next was Jaina and she asked Mark to sing with her. She gave him the sheets of music and he was like „WTH is that?“ Jaina then began to sing the song and Mark joined in. It was awesome! Misha left the stage at that point and just watched XD While Jaina and Mark sang, he got on stage again and started to clean the carpet from the salt XDDD
• They both tried to pronounce Bad Neuenahr then correctly and managed pretty well ;)
• Next question was, if they had any favourite actors and Mark just said „No.“ Misha then looked over to the tech guys and gave them signs and made weird noises, so they started playing a scene from Season 4, Episode 20, where we could here his German voice. When we heard Jared's German voice everybody - including Misha - cracked up and so we did when we heard Mishas German voice. Misha was all like: „Stop, it hurts!“ A girl told him that he sounds like Jude Law to us because it's the same German voice. He seemed to like that ;)
• When they were being asked what kind of monster they would like to see in Season 6, Misha said „The Cookie Monster“ and Mark started talking like the cookie monster XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
• They were then being asked if they could swap a character trait with their characters on the show, what would it be. Mark didn't get the question so Misha told him that like maybe he could get the ability to snap his fingers and make somebody’s head explode. Mark looked a little puzzled and then said he already HAD this ability XD Misha laughed and told us that it's true, that Mark had been cast as Lucifer only because of this. When we demanded proof, Mark said that his finger was not loaded today XDDDD
• A girl then asked what they would do after a hard, stressful working day. Mark answered that he would go home and talk to his wife or if he was away he would call her, read a book or just relax. Misha just nodded and said it was pretty much the same with him. Reading, relaxing, calling Marks wife XDDDDDDDDDD
• Misha was then being asked if he got world domination, what would he do with it. Misha answered: „This is turning more and more into a political campaign!“ And once again he and Mark started bitching again XD
- Misha: „The whole point of the Mishas Minions thing was that there was no democracy […] It's about coersion.“
- Mark: „So you all are blind followers to an authority? In the Legion - we are one. You are all powerful - not mindless.“
• Next a girl asked them if they could switch roles and play a scene with Mark as Castiel and Misha as Lucifer. When they asked what scene they should do, I screamed „EXPLODE!“ and everybody cracked up XD So Misha started to make a bad imitation of Jared as Lucifer saying „Did you just molotov my brother?“ and Mark answered with the most gay voice you can imagine: „Hey, assbutt :D“
• And that's when things got even more embarassing... a girl asked what Misha thinks about Dean/Cas... okay guys... you know me... I'm a slasher and I LOVE Dean/Cas... I really do... but it's just a no-go topic!! FUCK, THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING GIRL!!! How would you feel discussing the fake homo sex life of the character you play with a teenage girl?? Thankfully the audience booed her out and Misha said that that's the common reaction to this question. Only one girl in the front was like „Yay“ and that made him crack up XD He then told us that apparantly an interviewer once wanted to talk to him about Slashfic because „Misha is studied“ XD He said that he only once started reading a slashfic and when he noticed what it was he was like
„o_o *reading interested* What is thi-UUGH!!!“
He then answered the question by saying, that he thinks it's a great cultural asset and that it unites the world and makes it a better place XD
• Someone told Misha that one of the increasing baby names for boys in the last year was „Castiel“. He said that the n°1 rising baby name could also mean that only one baby got named like that and compared to the zero ones from the year before that would be 100 % more XD
• One girl asked them to do a fight scene, but they kindly refused to do so. Misha asked us, why we always wanted to see fight scenes and I was tempted to shout „Because you look hot when you're bloody!!“ - but it was too long to shout it, I guess, so I didn't do it :( Mark said „I could punch you in the face“ again with a gay voice XD
• They were being asked what their first impression of Germany was and they said they liked everything, it was perfect - except of the Schnitzel XDDD
• In the end Doug came to the stage and said that it was time to go and the audience shouted „no“ and Misha was like „NO! We have so much more...“ but there was nobody else waiting to ask a question so we stopped there XD
* * * *
Since we began late with the first panel everything on the schedule was now of course 45 minutes late… so right after the panel, Misha and Mark headed to their Group Photo Ops with Jim (you could buy Misha + Mark, Misha + Jim, and all three of them I guess). And since the next panel would be Jim + Tracis they of course couldn’t begin without Jim (who was still at the Photo Ops). So we waited for the incredibly long queue for the Ops to decrease but it took ages. In the meantime I was running around to find out, if Mishas third Coffee Lounge would be on time or if it was also 45 minutes late.
So I first asked Kati, if it was possible to make a short announcement at the stage hall when it was going to begin (they did so for the photo ops before). Kati said, I should go and ask the tech guys. The tech guys sent me to Brian and Brian said, only Doug could make such an announcement. But Douggy didn’t have a mobile phone. So I headed back to the photo op queue where I finally found Doug. He was - as always on this weekend - a little confused but said that he could do that. I wasn’t really convinced, so wummen and I sat back in the last row of the stage hall and waited for the panel to start.
* * * *
Misha Coffee Lounge Part III
Suddenly Julia came running towards us and shouted that the Coffee Lounge would start any minute! So we hurried to the room and sat down (luckily Misha wasn’t there yet). We waited a while and I looked out the door - just to see Misha walking past the door, grinning at me o_O I was like: “WTH? Why are you walking past us? XD”. The room was soon completely full (there were so friggin many of us, must have been over 30 people o_O) and finally Misha came, too. He got in there (which was kind of a challenge in the first place) and said, that now we HAD to go outside. Inside we would’ve died… or we would have to sit on Mishas lap *squeee* XDDD
So we followed the Overlord outside. On our way we saw Marks Coffee Lounge group sitting not far away and so Misha walked straight through the group and many of us followed him XDDDD It was so funny, Mark and Misha bitching at each other. Mark shouted that we were all mindless followers XD Finally we sat down a few inches away from the spot we sat down the day before. It was rather difficult to include everyone in the circle and there were some people sitting in the second row and far away. I was lucky again and sat down like 3 or 4 places away from him <3
First it was gift-time again and Misha got an orange (!) flower necklace (typical for us Europeans during the soccer championship to represent our countries) and a calendar of the hometown of one girl. Misha tried to pronounce the name of it right but failed XD Reveria had brought some sweets and began handing out gummybears (of course… what did I do? Now poor Misha gets showered in gummybears wherever he goes ;_; ), russian bread and marshmallows. When he tried the russian bread, I said that this would suit him best, since he is Russian (LOL! Of course NOT but you get my drift) and he pulled a face and handed the bag to a girl on his right. So I guess he didn’t really like it ;)
When he was being asked if he liked orange, he told us that it’s actually his favourite colour. But not because he likes it so much but because he chose it as a child and now he’s kinda stuck with it XD I laughed and said that as long as he wouldn’t paint his house like that, it’d be okay… and he grinned at me and told us, that he actually HAD painted the walls in his house orange XDDDDDDD
He told us that he had bought a house a few years ago and started tearing down every wall in it and rebuilding it one by one, so that at this point the roof is the only remaining original part of the house XD There was a time, when he had only one room with walls and since the rest of the house was all broken and ugly and depressing, he decided he needed to paint the walls in this room (and the fan on the ceiling of it) orange… with blue stripes… UGH XD
Furthermore he decided to build a hottub in his bathroom, so he started digging a hole in the middle of it. The dirt he dug out of course remained as a little mountain on its side… so since finishing a hottub never really was the number one on his to-do-list, Mr Collins lived with a pile of dirt and a muddy hole in his bathroom for several months XDDDD So when he finally came to the conclusion, that he wouldn’t finish the hottub ever, he brought the dirt outside and built a little mountain in his garden - and since he needed to close the hole, he BOUGHT DIRT to do so XDDDD MISHA!!!! Goddamn, that guy just kills me with his ‘logic’ XDDD
Someone asked what his impression of Germany was so far and he said, that he really liked it. This place was really beautiful and even though the train trip on Friday wasn’t very convenient, our trains were very clean and he had the chance to see some beautiful castles and stuff outside the window. He then asked us what places in Europe we would recommend him to see. Some girls told him some places he should visit and some he better shouldn’t. Like when he said that he was going to rent a car in Paris, we all laughed and told him better NOT to XDD Stephanie told him a story of when she once drove by car in Paris and got on the third SPUR of the road - and it did take her about 2 hours to get outside of the circle and on the road she wanted to go XDDDD Of course we all laughed at that because it is true! So he decided to cancel the reservation for his car and thanked us for watching out for him XD
We told him that he HAD to go up the Eiffel Tower, preferably by night, and that he could try to get into a group, since they a) would get on the tower faster and b) there is a group discount. He suggested tweeting to his minions about this and we all laughed, since then he would gather more than one group for sure XD
Somehow we were suddenly talking about Australia again and Reveria told Misha, that she couldn’t believe that he didn’t manage to see a single kangaroo, since they were EVERYWHERE, when she went there. She recommended two places to him, where he would certainly see some and Misha looked at her grumpily and asked her, why she hadn’t told him before XD
Someone asked him if he did remember the Minion Bible he was being given some time ago and he told us about it. That it was a book with drawings and text passages and photos inside of it. Photos of Minions marking places as “Property of Mishas Minions” all over the world.
In the end someone asked him if he ever had been to Europe before and he grinned and asked, if anyone of us had been in his second CL on Saturday and since some of us already knew the story, he only shortly summarized it XD So we heard the story of his horror trip through Paris again ^^
Later he told us that after college he had owned a Software Company - even though he knew NOTHING about computers at that time XDDDDD They even managed to make a translating program and some company even wanted to buy it - for 1 Mio $ !!! And what did Misha do? He was being cocky and arrogant and told them to fuck off - “1 Mio? It’s worth so much more, get off of my property!” XDDDD So, in the end - Misha didn’t manage to find another buyer and never sold it. Since then the program lies in one of his drawers XD
Since Misha had mentioned Glee during his first stage talk, some girl asked him, if he really watches it and if he had a favourite character. He told us that he once had watched it but now doesn’t anymore. His favourite character was “the cheerleading coach” and we told him, her name was Sue Sylvester. Since I just had gotten my group photo (on which everybody made the Glee-sign) before the CL, I had it with me and showed it to him. He took it, looked at it and cracked up XDDD He then told us that if someone had told him he would someday earn money with THIS, he would never have believed it XD
Here's the pic once again ;)
During the CL many old people walked past us and one old man was coming very close and Misha was like
“o_O… *whispering to us* He’s a spy!“
A girl later asked him, what it feels like to sit outside, enjoying the sun and having coffee (or not, because noone brought coffee and drinks outside XD) with 30 girls - and getting paid for it? Misha of course laughed about that and said, that it’s absolutely amazing. He would never have guessed to get here when he had started doing Supernatural. He told us that on his first Convention he was completely surprised of the lack of men. He thought it would be more like the Star Trek Conventions and had prepared to talk to teenage boys (who would be his main audience XD)…
He then asked us why we think that the show is so appealing to girls and we told him, that it’s the storyline and the emotions and he cracked up, winking at us. “Of course”, he said, continuing laughing and I said “I watch for the plot” which is a common phrase which you can find on several icons showing naked men bodies XDDD Of course we watch for the plot… the hot sexy guys are just… a bonus :P
I then asked him, where his first convention had been and he said it was in New Jersey and that if we ever wanted to visit the US - we shouldn’t start with NJ XD
Furthermore he was being asked how he could’ve stayed so calm during his first scene in the barn and he laughed and told us, he had no idea. They had made his hair wet so that it wouldn’t catch fire and what looked like he was being cool on screen was in fact just him being absolutely freaking out XD
During all this I continued looking out for Brian, who was standing behind Misha, because this Coffee Lounge was already a lot longer than the one before and Marks group was already long gone. So eventually one of the staff girls interrupted us after what must have been over an hour and asked us if we would like to do a group photo (OF FUCKING COURSE!!) and Stephanie gave her her kick-ass camera!
After that we gathered the half-empty bags of gummybears and the other sweets and headed back to the hotel. Since the CL had taken so long (not that I’m complaining), Jim and Tracis panel was over already and even Chads panel had started. So I met up with my other girls and Lena and me got some french fries and sat down in the back of the stage hall, to watch the rest of Chads panel together.
* * * *
Jim + Traci Panel
I still wanted to post some pictures of the panel, because it was so cute ;-;
I'm sorry, I don't know who made the last pic :(
* * * *
Chad Panel
Since I wasn’t there most of the time I can’t really say something about it. I just remember that he did some really cool poses in the end (slapping his ass and stuff) and got off stage again :( Sorry, I wish I could write more but we were busy eating (like… our first meal on this day) and we were all the way in the back so we didn’t understand everything as well…
The lunch break after that was rather short due to the delay that morning (which was because Jim had overslept… duh XD) so soon Sams panel started.
* * * *
Samantha Panel
• She was being asked, if she likes Germany and she said that it’s lovely and that she would love coming back. But “everybody’s pretty old here…” XD We explained to her that this was a town for medical rehab and she was like: “Aaah, that explains everything!” ;)
• She told us a story about when she begged Eric to finally use a real gun on set and she was running around with a shotgun, using it all day (I dunno what it’s called… loading it? You know, the ‘tschk tschk’ sound it makes ^^)… so whenever the camera started rolling the dialogue went on like this:
Camera guy: “Rolling.”
Sam: *tschk tschk*
Camera guy: “SAM!!”
• Somebody asked her what her first acting role had been and she told us that she only had to screem XD In a movie called “Viper” or so o_O?
• She was being asked if she had a ritual she did before doing difficult scenes, like e.g. the death scene of Ellen and Jo. She said that she didn’t really need to do that. When shooting this scene, everyone got really quiet, they dimmed the lights and just let her and Alona Tal (Jo) do the scene. She was so in character that she cried the whole time and when they had done all shots of Jo, they asked her if she had got any tears left. So the scene was very difficult but she had acted with all her heart.
She then told us that soon after the episode was being aired she had gotten a letter from a girl who had lived in Canada. She had seen the episode and it had made her realize how much she missed her mom, who still lived in Australia or so and whom she hadn’t seen for years. So she moved back to Australia. While telling us about this, Sam started crying. You could really see that she loves her job and that it touches her, that people are grateful for what she does.
• She said that she was more like Ellen than like Nina Jarvis (The 4400).
• In the end when there were no more questions there was suddenly Mishas voice coming out of nowhere and with a terrible German accent he asked Sam:
“I just wanted to know wat it was like to work wiss Jared end Jensen and wat was se best part of working wiss Misha Collins?”
Sam cracked up and so did we and she asked him “Who?” XD She said that J² are the nicest boys you could imagine but the worst part was Jareds farting, to which Misha agreed. She laughed and asked him how he could know about that. She then said that working with Misha was okay. That he was not unattractive but didn’t have a good humor, very flat XD When she had answered his questions she asked: “Are you satisfied now, Mr Sauerkrautz?”
* * * *
Autograph Session 2
Afterwards it was time for the second part of the Autograph Session and since I already had mine, I waited outside with the lovely twins Vanessa and Katharina and some other girls. We were talking about Supernatural (what else), what episodes we liked, how we experienced the finale and so on. It was so good talking to other fans about this in person <3 Finally, when the queue got smaller, I gathered my courage to ask Brian for a photo and one of the twins took it for me. Doug came from behind and sneaked his way into the photo XD Love it! Brian was so funny, hugging me tightly and laughing with me! He was just so very nice!! Hope he’ll be back next year for AE2!!
Brian and me | lovely Kerstin <3
Sadly I couldn’t have been there when the RH girls handed Misha and the others the T-Shirts and gifts so they told me all about it and I must say, I’m a bit… well… not pissed… but they told them, the Justin Bieber Merchandise thingy had been Julias idea… which it was NOT. It was mine… I dunno… it’s not that it means anything to the stars, if it was Ines’ idea or Julias… but it just kinda pisses me off… I didn’t want to share my idea, I wanted to give him something from Justin Bieber - and I only told everyone about the idea in order to make it a prank, where we ALL would give him something from Justin Bieber. Well… anyway… I know that I won’t do this again in future… *sigh*…
Sam and Chad leaving the Autograph Room | Misha on the stairs
Anyway, we stayed outside of the entrance to the room in order to make some photos of the stars coming out (very subtle, I know)… and then headed downstairs to the stage hall, where soon the Closing Ceremony would take place. Met up with Vanessa and Katharina again and we got in the back of the stage hall to make some photos together. It was so sweet, they were totally happy that we spent so much time together and we couldn’t stop hugging. I said “bye” to them as a precaution, because I didn’t know when after the CC I would have to leave, so once again we hugged and hugged and hugged… srsly, it was addicting XD
* * * *
Closing Ceremony
Misha running on stage | Misha and the rest cheering for us (gifs made by me)
Eventually Doug came on stage and thanked us for our support and announced, that there would be an Asylum Europe next year as well!! Of course we went crazy about that, because it was said that this would be the only German Convention!!! Finally he announced all the guests (when he called Mishas name, once again Brian ran on stage, like he did in the Opening Ceremony XDD LOL!!). Unfortunately the music was so damn loud that NO ONE could understand a single word Doug had said and also Misha was like “WHAT??” all the time XD
Finally he got a hold of the microphone and told us “We love you guys! It was awesome to be here! […] I hope we’ll see you again, hopefully next year.” Mark was like “We’re coming to get you next year” with his creepy voice XD Jim stated “Deutschland, ihr seid die Besten” and Jason just said “Dankeschön.” Sam smiled and said “Ich liebe dich” whereas Chad was being Chad and said: “Something really funny :D?!” In the end Traci - I think - tried to say something German, messed up and ended up saying “Namaste” XDD
* * * *
The Goodbye
Katharina, me and Vanessa <3
Kerstin and me
Julia and me
Lena, Julia and me
Stephanie and me
Everybody wants to lift me up, right? XD In this case it's Christina <3
Me and the gang (Christina, Lena, Julia, Kathrin and Kerstin)
When everyone got off the stage I knew the post con blues wouldn’t bee too far… so I gathered my loved ones and we got outside, enjoyed the sun and talked about the weekend. Wummen called her dad and told me they would pick us up in an hour. So I started searching the hotel for everyone I had met on this weekend in order to say goodbye. First I went to the registration desk, where we could already buy tickets for next years convention (o_O) and found some girls in the queue and said goodbye.
On the other end of the queue there was Brian, who sold the tickets and when I got to him and told him, that I was leaving - he stood up and walked around the table and hugged me ;O;!!! GOSH I LOVE THIS MAN!!! I told him ‘thank you’ and that I hope he’ll be there next year and that I’ll miss him… then I got outside and searched for everyone else I had met this weekend. And I even managed to find everyone - except Kati and Reveria T_T So I got to my room and packed my stuff and said goodbye to Lena. I got upstairs to the lobby and waited for wummen - when the Autograph room opened and Kati walked towards me! I was so happy I had found her and we said goodbye. Soon wummen joined me and we got into the car and left Bad Neuenahr.
I was so sad that everything was over again already and that I couldn’t stay until Monday… Wummen and I looked at our photo ops, completed my notes of the panels and Coffee Lounges and talked about Supernatural all the time, so the journey felt as if it was just a few minutes.
In the end they even brought me straight home and didn’t want any money for the gas from me and… gosh, I’m still so grateful!!
Thank you so much you guys!! <3
* * * *
The Bottom Line
So… I don’t really know how to summarize this weekend… it was stressful, funny, tiring, exciting, sad and oh-so-wonderful!
I made SO MANY new friends, whom I really love deeply, made so many experiences I never want to miss (hello?! MISHA COLLINS LIFTED ME UP ON HIS ARMS!!!!) and gathered so many wonderful memories. I’m SO happy, I did go, even though I still do have a guilty conscience because I lied to my mom… she would’ve never let me go because of all the chaos of the move… but I’m happy nevertheless!
And I’m Convention-addicted… even though I need so much money for the move I’m still seriously thinking about finding a way how I could go to the Barcelona Convention… cross your fingers, please XD
So long my friends - thank you for all your support and nice words about my reports!
See you on the next Convention report, sweethearts <3
