LA Con Postcard Project

[ohbooth]

Okay, so because of how many gifts they get, one of the Creation people (who I got to talk to for a bit, and is really wonderful) had to take all of the gifts for the guys so that they could be put in their vehicles to be taken home with them. They wanted to make sure that the guys got them all. SO, I didn't get to explain it in person (I wrote on the back of the cover page) or see their reaction. BUT, when I went in to get my auto, Jared had his right next to him on the table. I don't know what that means (except for the fact that he actually had it in his possession), and I didn't want to take up any time to ask (sorry, there was plenty of 'stalling' going on and I didn't want to annoy the Con people). So yeah, I didn't get to see the boys reactions to it but I know they got them all (I found the woman I gave them to later and she confirmed that yes, they took them). Once again, thank you so much for participating! :) 

Now, Misha is a different story :P

I stealthed my way into giving it to him during the autographs (cause photo-ops they just hand them off to the nearest worker or person, so I thought I had a better chance of him actually seeing it if I gave it to him when he was sitting down at a table. :) I also wrote the details of it on the back of him cover page in case I didn't explain it well enough.

So I get my auto's and I tried to hurriedly explain what it is, something like this:

"I had fans around the world that couldn't be here send in postcards from where they live so they could tell you how much they appreciate you."

He looks up at me as I hand it to him with this big ol' smile on his face.

"Really?..."

He takes it and starts to flip through it (and I guess the handler thought it was a good idea, or she was laid back, or saw how excited he seemed to be because she didn't rush me. When he kinda catches all the different places that the cards came from his eyes go wide.

"Wow, that is so amazing, thank you so much! Wow....I-"

"Oh, you're welcome, we all just appreciate you and Castiel so much we wanted to let you know" I started to move away so that I wouldn't get beat up by all the fangirls :P and he stopped me, (while he was still looking through it) by putting out his hand and grabbing at me as I was moving away, so I turned back toward him, and he looked at me more seriously (either he was acting, or there was total appreciation/gratitude in his eyes, it was really wonderful to see that it meant something to him).

"No seriously, this is so great, thank you so much. I love it."

I said "Oh, you're welcome! Thanks for coming." And I walked out, and when I looked back he was done signing the next persons autograph and started flipping through it AGAIN! :) So YAY! I am really excited about Misha being so happy with it! :) Makes it all worth while! I only wish more people had sent to him, he seemed to absolutely LOVE it!

that's sweet. If I had know this I will have participate. Still, this was a really nice move and I'm really glad he enjoyed the SPN-Fan gesture. Misha Collins is like JDM a win for the show and for the boys! Thx for Ur repport. :))

Awe, he sounds like the cutest thing on the planet :P!

That's awesome, I'm so pleased he liked it and at least you know Jared definitely has his too:D

*hugs*

That's really awesome hun! :)

Misha really does sound like a great guy every time I read anything relating to him and a con. So glad you got to experience that first hand, and the pulling you back thing - definitely sweet, how he wanted to really underline his thanks. :D

Until your post, I never understood what a postcard project was.

And even though I didn't actually participate in the postcard project, I am thrilled for the fans that did post a card, that Misha was genuinely touched by the gesture.

On a more personal note: I keep hearing, nothing but good things about Misha (and I noted the other week he played the bad guy on a repeat Episode of NCIS that screened in Australia on 1 April 2009).And I'm telling my gf, that's the angel from Supernatural. And of course, my gf just looks at me, like I'm deranged...lol.

uber cool, hun! (although he should know some actually did make it to see his awesomeness in person!) and you know what - misha has a great memory so i'm sure you're set for your next encounter with him!

i love this story! :D:D:D:D:D

That is a very nice story, thank you for relating it to us! It's all new to Misha, and he's diving in and enjoying it to the max, isn't he?

Love, Robin

YAY!!! Glad to have participated! ^_^

[medusa81.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I hope my cards were still in time, I know I was close to the limit...

[just-plain-von.livejournal.com]

Awwww, Misha is so cute. :) So glad it made him happy!

And I know it's probably impossible for you to remember every damn card, but I have to ask: did my cards get there in time? The ones from Finland?

[wyntertwilight.livejournal.com]

Aaaw! Misha's reaction makes me so happy, that is so sweet! Aaaww!!! *flails* I'm glad the boys got them okay (hopefully), even if you didn't get to see their reactions, which is a shame. But they'll appreciate it anyway, so it's all good.

Did you get all the cards and things sorted and in the books okay? Did you happen to take any pictures of what they looked like before you gave them away?

Anyway, thank you so much for doing this, again! It was a brilliant idea and I'm so happy I took part.

Misha's reaction was sooo sweet <3
Hope my cards were still in time =)

I didn't participate in the project but I'm glad he liked it!! He seems like such a sweet guy!

[briethehippo.livejournal.com]

Man, I suck for not sending a postcard, but I'm glad to hear that Misha really appreciated it. Just a pity you couldn't present it to the boys, or chat to them about it.

[candygramme.livejournal.com]

That's really cool. He seemed like an awesome guy all the way. I think we'll let him stay!

This is Sue, by the way. I'm just swooping in to friend you, now I have time to actually look at LJ! Hope that's okay.

That was great! I'm sorry it took me a while to respond, but my crappy computer has been giving me a hard time xD
What I would have given to see Misha's face when he was looking through the book :) I'm also sure Jared and Jensen loved them too :). I'm so glad I participated! If you don't remember which cards were mine, I was the one who made them on the computer and emailed them to you, the ones from Saudi Arabia ;)

[angelicfoodcake.livejournal.com]

Aww, now I'm really glad that I managed to send cards, too and that Misha loved it.

Thanks for your work! :) And this seriously and officially made my week now!

[cinzia81.livejournal.com]

Oh...that's awesome! Thank you so much for what you've done for us that couldn't be there! :P I would love to have see their faces when saw all those gifts and postcards from people around the world. People love them and they deserve all this and much more. Thank you so much!!! ^____^
