Caps: True Blood 211 "Frenzy" (1449), 1280x720, revoew & picspam, Vancon stuff
I haven't even started to go through the photos I took at the con yet. I spent today sleeping, trying to convince myself not so sleep MORE, doing laundry, grocery shopping, making a pizza and atching True Blood. I'm currently watching s3 of Battlestar Galactica (FINALLY!) and downloading Project Runway from last week.
I hope to look through the photos tonight but I don't even know how to approach them right now. I took A LOT of photos (probably close to 2000?) so I'm not sure how I'm going to share them, if I'm going to tag them, etc. I've never had to deal with something like this before. Anyone have any advice?
I enjoyed the con but now that I've been I think I can count this as my one and only official con. I spent a lot of the time there missing the way![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
winchestercon is run because the FANS are what matters and that's where all the interaction is. Yes, it was fun to meet the actors and hear them talk and all but they were on stage for about 40-ish minutes each. People who bought autos or photos got a little extra time with them or the people who went to the karaoke, the desert, the concert, etc. They all got a little more face time but that was all more money than I was willing/able to spend.
This convention was awesome and it was nice getting to see Jared and Jensen up close but we're not bffs now as a result of our 10 second encounter. I guess, once it was all said and done and I was walking back to the subway with two photos in my hand that cost me $150 American, the reality of it all really set in. So while I enjoyed the con while I was there it wasn't something I necessarily want to do again.
Bring onwinchestercon! THERE I can get drunk with all the celebs and people can grope as much as they want! Woo!
I don't know if people have heard but there's fanfiction survey going around from people who are trying to make some kind of academic conclusions about desires. There's more details and links to other info here but basically there are outsiders trying to put a finger on an important part of fandom to tell the outside world about it who are talking out of their asses. I skimmed the info so I don't have a great handle on it but basically, be aware.
I don't mind Rachel Evan Woods (Evans Wood? Whatever, don't care, don't need to know what it really is) as Queen Sophie but I don't think she can quite pull off the older, cavalier air the character's supposed to have. It felt very forced and less graceful, I think, than the role called for, imo. I think she's got a great look for the role, though, and as the episode went on she seemed to get better but whatever. I don't know how important she is or becomes in the books (and please don't tell me!) but if she's only in this one episode I can deal.
As for everything else I was pretty underwhelmed, especially after the past couple eps. It wasn't bad, just a bit boring. Looking forward to how fucked up everything's going to get in a couple weeks when the finale airs.
