Eric Kripke Con Pics & Panel Article

Okay, I know it has been too long, sorry, exactly a month today since I went, but oh well, if you don't want to see 'pretty fixed' pictures I don't know what to tell you.

Okay, so I can't recap the panel, cause I was in awe, but here is the whole thing (as far as I can tell) in a couple parts from Eclipse (so see, not bad that I waited this long LOL) :

SPOILERS so don't read if you are spoiler free :)

Kripke 1

Kripke 3 (don't know where two is, or if there is one...)

A couple things I wanted to add of my impressions:

The man is a genius, and so humble, that is a lethal combination!!!

He was so impressed by my friends art she made so much that he stopped and looked at all the detail in it, then personalized his signature for her, by saying "Wow, this is amazing, did you do this?" Nope, my friend I told him, he said "What's her name?" so not only is he a genius and humble, he is a sweetie too!!

And OMFG, I LOVE that he cusses like a sailor and doesn't even seem to realize he is doing it! LOL, he got the okay from us in the beginning when some fan asked what his fave cuss word is, he said "Any minors here?" and then didn't hesitate when we yelled no, he said it is "Fucking Shit" and then the cuss words just came flying out of his mouth!! It was great!

He is a VERY expressive speaker, you will see what I mean when you look at the pictures.

He was nice enough to pose for pics with my friend and I!! :) We were all nervous "Would it be completely rude to ask if we could get  a picture with you?" he didn't even hesitate, he was like "OMG, of course!!"

He signed like a billion things for us FOR FREE!! :) STEVE is the only other person to do that! And not only did he sign MY stuff, I had sigs for a few of you also to gather :) And he didn't think twice, was just all around amazing, and very easy to talk to!

He dispatched with the pleasantries right away, walking out on stage and was like "Hi, you know who I am, lets start with the questions, that is why I am here right?" LOVE a man who gets right to the point!!

He thanked and praised the fans saying we are the smartest bunch of fans a creator could ask for (even though some of the questions people were asking were either answered IN the show, or have been answered before LOL).

Even if the fans say they want something, he does what is best for the show, you can tell that, he even said when someone asked if they could hug more "You say you want it, but if they do it all the time it doesn't mean as much" roughly, so I totally trust him to make the right decisions by the fans :)

The Creation people tried to cut it off, and he was like "No, these people have been in line this whole time (you line up at a microphone at either side of the stage to ask questions at the one I went to), He said "I can answer their questions, I mean, we have time right? (to audience) You guys don't mind? *big roar of approval* See? Yeah, we can finish all the questions."

Okay, I am tired of typing, go read the damn article if you wanna know the rest!

And HERE are the pictures (ETA: LOCKED Friends Only now)

Didn't realize I was such a Kripke fangirl, but I have more pics of him than Jensen (on his own panel)! LOL, oops....

Thanks! :) I am glad you like Eric PicSpam, cause like I said, I took more of him than Jensen by himself in his solo panel LOL

Thank you darling! You are so lucky to see Eric

[identity profile] ohbooth.livejournal.com 2008-04-29 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
I was wasn't I :) he is so lovely!! :) Such a great guy, and just VERY thankful for the fans

See, this is why I should go to conventions. Hearing such amazing recaps from people's experiences and the loveliness of these individuals you get to meet and ask questions to...how often does a fan do that to one of their favorite celebrities?

Kripke sounds like a really sweet and nice guy, and obviously adores and appreciates the fans. That is so awesome.

[identity profile] ohbooth.livejournal.com 2008-04-29 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
It was, he was amazing, and just really happy and LOVES the show! I really hope he doesn't 'give in' to the PTB about his five year arc (if you don't know about it, and don't like spoilers don't ask me about it LOL)

And yeah, it is not often a fan gets to do that, pretty amazing, depending on who you get to meet, some are...well, not what you hoped they would be (not talking the SN con, talking about the other I went to)

[identity profile] kes1807.livejournal.com 2008-04-29 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow! you certainly had a good time. I think it's great that he was happy to sign everything and have pics taken with you.

Your pics are great.

[identity profile] ohbooth.livejournal.com 2008-04-30 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
yeah, he was amazing, very 'fan-friendly' :D

Thanks! You would know ;) oh, wait, I didn't send these yet did I? LOL

Because my question about Bela to Eric got put in a magazine article, I have now decided that I shoud get paid for my "interview." *g*

BTW, my brush with fame is here:

Eclipse Magazine article (http://eclipsemagazine.com/2008/04/26/supernatural-creator-eric-kripke-answers-fan%E2%80%99s-questions-%E2%80%93-part-iii/)


Great report and pics.

[identity profile] ohbooth.livejournal.com 2008-04-29 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL, yeah, I linked to that in the post :) I forgot who asked what, cause well, as you can see I was camera happy, and not so much looking at the 'questioners' LOL

Thanks! :) Loved meeting Eric, definitely a highlight of my trip :)

Thanks alot that's Amazing.. P.S. How u made the layout and the header of your journal.

[identity profile] ohbooth.livejournal.com 2008-05-22 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't :) A wonderfully talented friend of mine did :) I credited her on my profile page, it was [livejournal.com profile] sweetgirl7808 she has some beautiful layouts if you go look at her stuff, and she explains how to use them in each post, just go to her tags, and pick 'layout', most are dark like this one :)

(Also made this icon for me)

Hi! Any chance you might make your con pictures public again? I missed these the first time around and would love to be able to see them. :)

[identity profile] ohbooth.livejournal.com 2008-07-01 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, here is the deal :D I am probably gonna sound rude or crazy, but if you have a flickr account, I can add you so that you can view them BUT if you are crazy or a theif and try to steal my pics or misuse them or anything to that effect, I will hunt you down....fair enough? :)

If you just want to stare at the pretty, you are more than welcome to :)

[identity profile] waterofthemoon.livejournal.com 2008-07-01 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
Heee, not a problem! I don't make a lot of art or anything, and I definitely wouldn't use/repost someone's personal pictures without permission. :) If you don't mind too terribly, my flickr name is the same as here, waterofthemoon.

[identity profile] ohbooth.livejournal.com 2008-07-01 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
Well thank you, that is great to know, had a bunch of wank over them when I posted, so yeah, had to make all stealthy with them.

Okay, done and doner, you are added!

[identity profile] waterofthemoon.livejournal.com 2008-07-01 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you very much! I'm sorry to hear about the wank, fandom really sucks sometimes. :\

[identity profile] ohbooth.livejournal.com 2008-07-01 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
It does, seriously, big time, and loudly...so YAY! Hope you enjoy, I was front row, so yeah, they are pretty close
