Too bad it's not acceptable to list "did not kill anyone" as an accomplishment for my trimester review.
Particularly if you listed it as an objective and didn't exactly "meet" expectations. ;-)

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

They just sweetened the pot. [link]
Fans will be offered guided tours of the Supernatural standing sets where they will witness the exceptional quality of detail, workmanship and artistry spread over three enormous sound stages. Tour guides will be members of the Supernatural production team, escorting groups through sets as well as production areas including props, wardrobe, and workshops. Actual hero props including the Winchester Colt and Sam and Dean's shotguns will be on view.
Now here's the big one: fans will get a once in a lifetime chance to have a photo taken with The Winchesters' famed black Impala. This treasured keepsake will be provided as part of the tour and delivered to participants prior to the close of the convention.
Dude who cares about seeing the actors? Set tours and photo op with the Impala. I should go right? But I can't. But I want to. But I cant.
eta: In the minus column, I don't have a passport. In the plus column I would have to get a passport.
You know, if I could talk to staff and crew, and see the sets and ask questions and NOT attend the con? I think I would almost be willing to do that. I'll be an hour, +/-, from the venue. I should probably do that. I have a list of shooting locations from all seasons, and DH has his Van and Burnaby maps, and is plotting out a couple of location tours, as well as some places from X-files, the Stargates, Jeremiah, DA, etc. I think standing in place and taking pictures from shooting POV may fulfill my fannish heart.
That seems so much more civilized than a con--which really seems like a form of torture to me. Geeking out with a set dresser might be fun, but not if Muffy wants to know what color Jared's eyes are against that funny colored wall.
I'm a terrible fan.
I think I've almost talked myself into it. I've never done a con and I haven't loved a show like this since Angel. Doing the actual con with the celebrity thing is kind of icky...but I could go up to my room if it was uncomfortable. The set stuff made the difference.
Worse case scenario I meet a mountie that looks like Paul Gross and run off into the mountains with him.
Worst case? You call that worst?
Huh.
Beverly, if this were a slightly different universe, I would so be there.
I too am kind of squicked by the whole meet-the-actors thing, inasmuchas there's this whole hideous Beatlemania power imbalance thing in this situation, which is quite creepy - but still - set tour! With actual production team peeps! That would be fascinating! And - Impala! Aldis Hodge! Alona Tal! Steve Carlson live on stage! Jim Beaver! (And of course Misha & the Js, and the Ghostfacer guys etc etc).
Plastic Winchester Theatre. Complete with dodgy race and gender issues, and awesome Castiel. This is the fifth of five parts, but there are links to the previous parts at the top.
::is awed::
Ha...all of us are more in love with the production of the show than the actors. We are weird.
The only time I would be worried about losing control is around the Impala. Do you think licking the seat would be inappropriate? What?
HONK!
