Uhm...uh...hmm...hehe I just fucking met NICHOLAS LEA and oh yeah CHRIS CARTER too! I have the autographs and pictures to prove it too, so expect those coming into my journal soon. I'm going to be brief here because I have to literally be up in 5 more hours to go to work and I just took two Melatonin to help me fall asleep, but;

Noon; My co-worker comes in and covers for me. I drive to the bank, deposit my check, get gas in my car and am on the 405 at almost 1pm. By 2pm I'm in Murrieta and Brittany and I head off to LA, but something is wrong with my car. We suspect it's the missing hubcap everyone is honking at, but to my disaster, it's my rear tire; it's flat. Amazingly, we make it through not only the 15 freeway, but the 91 and all the way up to the 5 before we stop in La Mirada to fix my flat... I go to an AM/PM and buy some fix it shit, but it doesn't work and the hole is a seeping gap... So we drive to a Pep Boys (which was really close) and though my rear tire was wounded, the other rear tire (on the right) was just about to go too, so I got two new tires and went "hell with it" and bought new hubcaps. So the job took 40 minutes and Brittany and I went to some restaurant called Mr V's (I think) and had a yummy lunch.) While driving to the freeway, my new hubcap flies off and I go to retrieve it... I can't get the thing back on and it's completely different from the other three (I later found out from Brittany's dad that the hubcap was broken... The mechanics put on the wrong hubcap for my set.) We get on the freeway again at 5:40pm.

6:55pm and were on Sunset Blvd. racing for parking and entrance to the Paley Festival thinking we're not going to make it in. We make it, but sadly have to go to the 2nd level... But are lucky enough to be able to move down to the 1st level because it wasn't a full house. Turns out, we're a couple rows behind most of the panelists; including Chris Carter. To my utter surprise, Nick Lea is a guest and I nearly died when he came on stage. The panel was great, we saw a new trailer for the 2nd movie two times; once an encore, and maybe I'll go into further detail about what was discussed, but that'll probably be online and much better than my description.

So the panel is over and I make a quick maneuver to the stage to meet Nick first (I'm dead pan on getting to him first since he's been like one of my favorites since forever.) I'm waiting to meet him and while in the front, I nervously watch as Nick is talking to someone on stage and then he's by himself. I feel weird, but go "Nick" and he looks at me. I say "Hi" and he does the same, coming over to greet me. So, being a dork, I tell him that I've been a fan of Krycek for a long time and love him more than Mulder (which is true) and that his death was unjustified. He agrees with me and my god he has pretty green eyes. I shake hands with him and he says thanks for coming. Now I make my way over to Chris Carter and get an autograph from him and idiotically ask if he's heard of the show Supernatural? I wanted to ask him more (such as if he was gonna contribute to the show and such, but I got nervous and he was quite busy,) but he is quite aware of the show.

I find Brittany (I dunno where she'd wondered off to before) waiting for an autograph from Chris and make my way over to Mitch Pileggi, but one of the bouncers (or whoever) tells us that they gotta go and I don't get an autograph. So then I find Brittany next to this guy and I go "Hi" and he looks at me surprised and goes "Hi!" I soon find out that it's Howard Gordon... Chris Carter has stayed and is getting pictures with people, and having Murphy's Law been a bitch to me earlier that evening, I left my camera in the car. Brittany has her camera and we wait in a short line and get a picture with Chris. I tell him "Hi again," get the picture and praise him on being a lefty (cause I just found out) and that we'll rule the world. (Us lefties RULE!)

Thank god for my bladder acting up because as soon as we left the building Howard Gordon and Nick Lea were walking right outside Sunset and being all nervous, we starting walking behind them thinking of what to say, but a girl confronted Nick and wanted a picture so I was like "Nick!" And he turned around and I said (ironically) "Hi again! I found my friend who has a camera and was wondering if I could get a picture with you." And he said sure. So he got a pic with the previous girl who thankfully stopped him and then turned to get a picture with me. Howard Gordon told Brittany to get in the picture as well cause he'd take it and funnily enough, right before the actual shot he accidentally got a surprise photo of Brittany's hair! LOL! Anyway, Brittany began speaking to Howard about how certain 24 character death's made her cry and I told them about how I cried when Krycek died, my sister laughed, I called her a bitch, and my mom yelled at me... He laughed and Brittany went on to say something else, but Nick like tapped me or something on my side and taken by surprise I sort of jumped, said "what" and looked at him. LOL! More talking and laughing and he taps me again. I'm thinking... "OH.MY.GOD.WTF.TOUCHING.ME!"

I also asked him about this supposed rumor of a Krycek-centered episode that had been floating around the internet and he says he had no idea that there was ever one written, so it could've just been fan speculation. I told him sorry (sorry for asking so many Krycek related questions cause I know some actors hate being narrowed down to just one character) but he was totally cool with it and said that's fine... And then he was off.

9:45pm and I drove Brittany home from LA to Murrieta and then did like 80mph from Murrieta to Orange County to get home, type this out, and go to bed. Will have pictures (ew my ugly mug) and autographs ASAP. Here's Brittany's story. Also, I overheard someone saying that they talked to Chris and they just might be at Comic Con this year!

Needles to say; TONIGHT ROCKED MY SOCKS OFF!

Here are the photos Ray promised to upload.

Too tired to do an extensive report, but Jared and Jensen are hilarious in person! Poor guys were still filming at 4:30AM in Vancouver that morning...

We got to see the episode "Scarecrow" on the big screen and then QnA.

INFO:

•Lawrence, Kansas has a significance! There's a local famous urban legend springing up around there.

•Sacramento, California has a meaning as well.

•Dean's necklace is significant to the story, but like the previous two, it's going to be covered in later episodes and we don't find out about it till later.

•Originally, Eric wanted to have the main characters be reporters, but knew it was too close to "Nightstalker" and made them brothers on a road trip similar to that of the show "Route 66."

•Jensen originally came in to be Sam, but when the WB executives brought in Jared, Eric called up Jensen and had him read the roll of Dean. Jensen said that he studied a little bit for Dean despite the crew wanting him to be Sam in the first place.

•Eric despises pop music and specifically wrote in this scripts that the music should and would be classic rock.

What cracks me up is that Eric said he heard about 30 of the messages that people sent in Dean's phone and several of them were about people going "Sam, Dean! Help! There's a ghost in my house!"


Scary moments:
Jensen says that when they were filming in a real insane asylum for the episode "Asylum," that the crew told everyone not to go onto the the fourth floor... So taking a little walk, Jensen actually went up there and explored. He said that while there, he found a dark corridor and told himself he could make it.

Jared also mentioned that one time while on set, a clock just suddenly dropped on its own. No one was banging on the walls or near it, and afraid that it was actually a ghost and going "What was that," everyone ignored it and kept on working.

...And my mind is drawing a blank right now as I cannot remember anything else. I'm sure there will be a bunchload of stuff on the Supernatural communities and even better pics.

So like, I'm supposed to have been asleep by midnight and it's now 4:57AM. I have to be up at 5:30AM and be at work at 7AM. So why did I stay up? Well, one being that I slept all day yesterday because I'm a lazy ass I wanted to catch up on my sleep and two, I was working on fixing up apocalypse_rpg (mainly the character page because tables are both pretty and a pain in the ass)! And there are 19 characters already! Those of you who are friends on my journal and the RP, (you get the heads up,) Izzy and I are planning on opening the RP today.

Mmm, now must pray that coffee and Monster energy drinks will keep me up for the entire day. Or at least through work so I don't fall asleep. Hey, it's worked before.

In exciting news; I got tickets to the Paley Festival to see the Supernatural Panel in LA! Yeah!
