It's a lot. Misha gets less, obviously, but it's still a serious chunk of takehome.

Don't I remember someone on here making plans to go to some sort of gathering where she'd get to actually breathe in air that had touched one of the Impalas?

This bothered me last night, and still is this morning, so I gotta say, I'm not loving the tone here. I don't know if anyone here has gone to an SPN con, or was thinking of it, but either way, this comment, especially when taken in the context of the rest of your post, seems rather rude and dismissive.

I can see not understanding wanting to go, but that doesn't mean you should ridicule people here who do, and the tone of your post seems really close to that to me.

Having touched the Angel convertible, I just need to say--don't unduly dismiss the cars, either.

This totally needs to win the SPN/movie fusion art competition at dA. That is completely adorable and makes me feel all warm inside.

When this person says that boots #4 are Steven's, do they mean Steven Williams? Because that might be too much hot.

I guess?

Does Katherine mean Katherine Isabelle?

Based on the main post, yep for ita's question. [link] For Amy, it's Katherine Boecher.

From looking at the attendee list, looks like Katherine Boecher (Lilith). And, yes, Steven Williams seems to wear cowboy boots with chrome bling. Excuse me while I fan myself.

Can you fan me while you are at it.

mmmmm

This was me. I wasn't offended or avoiding the topic, I just have been away from convenient posting. The con was in Vancouver for the first time. The extras were going to be set tours and location shot tours. Plus they would have one of the impalas on hand to fondle see. I bought a gold ticket, a photo op with Jared and Jensen, a photo op with ond of the Impalas, and of course the site tours. Plus our lovely Beverly offered me room even though she had just moved. So it was the perfect weekend. (Mostly because of Beverly).

But as I was reading the forums, the craxy was getting more and more. This was pre-marriage of either boys and may have even been still in the Sandy era. Either way, a fan jumped on Jensen at another convention, and that was kind of the deciding factor. I just was too uncomfortable when I actually thought about it. So I sold all my tickets on eBay and while I didn't make a profit, I didn't take a loss. No harm no foul. This was also the convention where they started those ultra priced things for extremely small groups.

I think 7 people could have breakfast with Jared for what was it 1500 or 2k? I remember saying at the time that this would be my nightmare. I don't like banquet dinners where I have to make conversation with people that I don't know let alone pay to have to go through it. Some people here agreed that they could think of things to say but none of us wanted to pay that much to do it.

This bothered me last night, and still is this morning, so I gotta say

The topic also came and went about TWOP recaps. Because it was a little bit of a negative tone with regard to TWOP, I did want to speak up and say that I have read Cindy's recaps and I adore her. I'm pretty sure that I would adore her recaps even if I didn't adore her for herself. When she subbed for the Supernatural recapping she even gave us a shout-out. So yay Cindy.

I thought Strega's recaps of Angel were very witty. I couldn't read them on a regular basis because I couldn't read criticism of the show even when it was warranted. That's how I am with SPN right now, so I know better than to read the regular recaps. I remember years ago reading the Smallville recaps and really enjoying them. eta: I absolutely agree that the forums are a mess though. I've never been comfortable posting there even though I have met some posters in real life (due to a Serenity screening) who couldn't have been any nicer and encouraging to come over there and post.
