All the kids are sick (Tom, Shep, and JJ) probably because they all hang out so much.

Jared: “I think it’d be fun to have Danneel on [SPN].” Jensen: “yeah, that’s what I was gonna say.” #VegasCon
Jared and Jensen want Shatner on. Just to mess with Misha. They think the crossover of genre stars has been awesome. #VegasCon
I asked Jared what the story was behind the Christmas photo and he said that every year Jensen and he host/MC a Christmas party. Well, this year when he went into make up/wardrobe one day the girls told him that he’d really like his wardrobe for that nights party.
He was like “what? I don’t have a wardrobe. I’m just going to wear regular clothes.” The ladies were basically like “oh, yes, yes you do and you are going to wear it.” So he waves it off and goes about his day until at the end of the day someone asked him if he found his outfit for that night okay, that it was hanging in his trailer closet. He laughed and scoffed and said “there’s no outfit you guys” and goes to open his closet and sure enough there is a Claus outfit hanging there. At which point his momma speaks up that it was the MRS. Claus outfit no less.
After he finished the story he was giggling to himself saying the funnier picture is the one where they are all each other. Which basically happened because Jared had Cas’ trench coat in wardrobe and was giving grief to Misha along the lines of “is this a baby trench coat? are you sure this is for a grown man?” He was pretty pleased with himself.
Jared apologizes that he missed the show last night. He is sick right now. “I missed Mom, I missed Dad…” #VegasCon
Jared won $1,100 dollars. They come hand him a tax receipt. Jensen walked up and handed money to the Blackjack dealer, walked away #VegasCon
Jensen says last night was the first time Jeff and Sam had seen each other since the pilot. #VegasCon
We gave Jensen the Happy Birthday book to Danneel! He thanks all the hundreds of fans that contributed #VegasCon
First question: a gift for Danneel. Jensen goes “that’s right!” About her birthday coming up. He’d love to give her the msgs. #VegasCon
Someone suggested Jensen needs to strike a superhero pose and declare “For Justice!” For diaper changes. Jared on floor laughing. #VegasCo
Jensen hums Disney songs to JJ to calm her down #VegasCon
JJ got American Girl doll. Jensen hates the eyes that open and close. JJ stabbing her in eye with finger while JA cheered. #VegasCon
Jensen about his tweet pic with Misha:
I wrapped my arm around Misha and said “we should totally tweet a taster’s choice moment” #VegasCon
Fangasm report
Jared, as I’m sure you all know, wasn’t feeling well at the con. In his meet and greet, he said that the night before he’d been queasy, and then there was that feeling of uh oh, and that was it (there was more description, I think, but I’ve blocked it out so I can eat lunch while I type this). Gotta say, I give him a ton of credit for coming to the con anyway even after being so nauseous and sick … Thanks for coming, Jared.
I had a chance to chat with Jared on Saturday in the vendor’s room after he’d spent some time sitting at his sister Megan’s book table to sell her children’s book Big Mo. By the time I got there, they were sold out – which I guess is a very good thing. If you haven’t seen the book, it’s adorable!
Sunday I was lucky enough to go to Jensen’s meet and greet. Someone started off the panel asking if Jensen had gotten his headphones that Jared had promised to buy him for his birthday yet.
“No!” he answered indignantly, then laughed and said he’d had to use Mark Sheppard’s for the Saturday concert, now that the band is all high tech. We spent a while just telling him how much we loved and appreciated his rockstar performance, which was pretty much the understatement of the weekend.
Do Jensen and Jared talk about what the cons have become?
Jensen: We talk about it all the time.
He went on to say that when they come back from a convention, they share everything that happened with the crew. They talk about the fans and their interaction with the fans and basically say how great the whole experience is, so of course everyone wishes they could come too.
Jensen: We hear your stories when we’re here, and then we take them back to the crew, so they can hear what a difference this has made too.
For VegasCon, they had the opportunity to bring someone, so one of the crew came with them to experience it for himself. Jensen said he was blown away, and that now everyone will want to come.
“I wish we could bring them all,” he said, and clearly meant it.
Someone asked about Demon!Dean. Was there a particular storyline he wished he’d had a chance to play?
Jensen said no, nothing in particular, he just wished that Dean was a demon longer, and that they had to work harder to get him back. I think every person in the room nodded.
Jensen: But I’m not a writer. In fact, there are several writers in this room, so I’ll just leave it at that.
Another fan asked if he had any advice for her, on doing some directing. Jensen said that he hadn’t had the opportunity to go to film school, so he watched the directors on Supernatural closely and tried hard to learn from them. When he directs, he focuses on trying to get the best actor performances he can, instead of going for the flashy visual shots just to stroke his ego. He also said that he lives by three words that Kim Manners gave him on how to be a director: Homework, homework, homework.
Jared was also asked about directing and if he’d ever want to. He said that they always offer him the opportunity to direct when they offer it to Jensen, since they keep things even on the show. But he isn’t interested in directing right now; instead, he enjoys sending Jensen photos of him on vacation while Jensen’s up there early prepping.
Jared: [laughing] That always gets a response.
I got to ask Jensen a question I’d been wondering about since the beginning of the mini-hellatus that just ended.
Me: The last episode we’ve seen was The Executioner’s Song … He looked so devastated as he fell into Sam’s arms. What was going through his mind?
Jensen said that before that confrontation with Cain, Dean had been holding onto hope. He thought he could be like Cain, that he could live with the mark. He so desperately wanted Cain to tell him that he could live with it, and he didn’t. So now, he feels completely hopeless.

Jensen: It is dark, and I’ll give you a little teaser…
[His eyes twinkle mischievously]
He said things will get even darker, like they got darker before. I don’t know what that means, but clearly it ain’t good!
Jensen said he spoke to Jeremy Carver about S10 a little while ago.
Jensen: I said to him, this is how I see it going – just what you said – and he was like, I didn’t think about it like that, but yeah.
Another fan asked him why, if the season is getting so dark, has he said several times that he’s enjoying this season more than the last. Jensen said again that last season was hard for him, that Dean was in such a dark place that it translated into darkness for Jensen too.
Jensen: And this season, it’s more fun to play it – Dean as a character is more nuanced. In S9, he was just flat, just dark. But in S10, on the outside, now that he’s given up hope, Dean is like happy go lucky – or he seems like that on the outside. And it’s sad, it’s tragic, because inside we know he’s not. And he’s not even aware, but we are.
As much as that’s clearly going to break our hearts, Jensen said he likes playing that more than the flatness of S9. Now that we’ve seen The Things They Carried, what he said made even more sense. Already Dean is putting on that “I’m always okay” front, trying to convince Sam to let go of his hope like Dean has. It was heartbreaking seeing Dean tell Sam to give up; asking Sam to just be there beside him (for the little bit of time he has left).
There is an up side, though. Jensen has said before that he’s glad the brothers are working together to solve this. In his meet and greet, Jared said the same.
Jared: The boys are ready, they’re ready to deal with this.
#Q: If Cain had a musical number, what would it be? Tim: When the dvd comes out
you may see a version of it on the gag reel. Jared and Jensen are so grateful
for what they do and for the fans.a They’re the most decent guys. They’re so
grateful for their fans, I haven’t come across two guys like this
before. Tim went to dinner with J2. Says how lovely they are.
Complimented on them on their professionalism. Also @jarpad is a great kisser….it was a LOT of drinks..
Tim said Jensen loves having as much fun on set as Psych guys did. Didn’t get to work w Jared really, but loved both!
JDM: So proud of Jared and Jensen. They are GOOD guys. They did this.
this whole thing is a reflection on J2 and them bringing people together
those guys are such good actors and id like a chance to really act with them
no big pranks, nobody threw poop on me. You laugh but if I went back…
but I do remember J2 giving me a lot of shit and we had a lot of giggling. When I’m tired I get the giggles
“I absolutely want to come back!”
JDM a wants @JensenAckles to direct the episode he would be in. Jensen enjoys bossing me around.
JDM: you know how rare it is to have a show stay on the air this long?
JDM: I did pilot #spn w a baby who’s now 7 feet tall and a 3 yr old who’s now the biggest smartass I know
JDM. This never happens, but #spn changed their shooting schedule so I could shoot w my boys. They were my boys first damn it!
Jdm: when I came back to do shadow, we were all so excited and had the giggles
JDM: season 1, we were all falling in love w each other. @jarpad and @JensenAckles are at the top of my list of guys I love #vegascon
When filming the possession, guy wanted to bring the real box to set and JDM was like oh hell no. #vegascon
JDM: I love john winchester and there have been times I haven’t liked what they’ve done w him
JDM: the john I knew loved his sons and was willing to die for them. I wish we’d had some more emotional scenes w the boys
JDM: if I…WHEN I come back, I wanna do a scene that makes u guys cry
JDM: those guys are such good actors and id like a chance to really act with them
JDM: no big pranks, nobody threw poop on me. You laugh but if I went back..JDM: but I do remember J2 giving me a lot of shit and we had a lot of giggling. When I’m tired I get the giggles
.@JensenAckles called @dicksp8jr with the idea to sing for the 200th ep party But everyone was looking the other way and didn’t even see them singing Lol
Talking about autobiographies:
Jensen: “I would label mine – ‘Still waiting…on Jared’.”
Jared: “Then mine would have to be – “I’ll be out in a minute’.”
what to do when the show is over- Jared – sleep, get to know my family.
Jensen – bring the show back hahah, plan a vacation for the fall, which I
haven’t been able to do for 10 years, I don’t even know where.
Really, for both of us, it would be, go and spend more than 2 days a week at home.
.@jarpad: don’t get too close to me, I’m not feeling that well
JensenAckles : pediatrician when JJ was born: finally a little justice in the world
.@JensenAckles : @mishacollins & I were filming and saw that beautiful sunset so I put my arm around him & said we should tweet it
.@JensenAckles : we did a rapid burst shot and @mishacollins picked the one where I looked like a ballerina
Jared claiming Misha and Jensen between takes often jumping up and down. They just grabbed a shot. Laughter.
JensenAckles : @mishacollins @Mark_Sheppard, there’s a comfortability there and they’re professional and professional goofballs
@jarpad : in s8 finale I had 5 days of staring at @Mark_Sheppard . It was like hell
Jensen loved the vibe & atmosphere of the Saturday night concert and would
like to do it again but it depends on time & schedule // on sat night special:
there’s an energy there. I might do it again, it was a lot of fun
JensenAckles : I think we should all just get on a bus and go have lunch somewhere…
What would Jensen’s name be if it were a unit of measure! Heat.
Last name as unit of measurement. Ackles = Hot/Heat.
.@jarpad : the Ackles just raised in here… @JensenAckles : did u really just say that? Lol
Ackles as a unit of measurement? @JensenAckles : oh it’s like low hanging fruit @jarpad : keep it g.
Fan to JA: Thank u for last night. JA ur welcome. JP falls to ground. JA “the Ackles just raised in here”.
@jarpad won $11,000 on slots. Casino gave him a tax form immediately.
JARED didn’t go last night because he’s sick. 🙁
Jared’s real dad met JDM for the first time. Went “okay, he’s about my height..”
Jared apologizes that he missed the show last night. He is sick right now. “I missed Mom, I missed Dad…”
-main panel
Jensen also said he’s learned that fatherhood has made him realize how selfish he was. His focuses have shifted. #VegasCon
Guy next to @JensenAckles when they (the airline) replied to his tweet: who are you? JA: nobody but a lot of people will fight for me #yep #vegascon
#JDM says the bonding with Jensen and Jared in s1 was so important. All just falling in love with each other and staying friends. #VegasCon
