Best moments from VegasCon16
Rich was actually my favorite part of the con. I'm hunting for video of a HILARIOUS ad-libbed song he did Thursday about how guys aren't allowed at the con unless they're footing the bill, which he sang to a guy asking a question. I was laughing so hard I literally cried. I'm coming to feel Rich is less an actor than a genius improv comedian ... though a great actor, too, but improv comedy is a special skill--especially improv song comedy, and it comes naturally to him.
In the meantime, I did manage to find video of an epic rant he went on Friday morning, for which he kind of apologized multiple times during the rest of the con, about how we SPN fans have something wrong with us and think someday we'll get to marry Jared and Jensen--he didn't hold back, but I liked it anyway. (Somehow, he said it all in a really good way.) He included himself in the "we," btw--down to marrying J2. He later told Rob it was because Rob wasn't there to hold him back (Rob didn't arrive until Saturday), and Rich was clearly in some sort of state as he took the stage Friday, feeling angsty it seemed; I liked hearing his unfettered thoughts. Plus, sweet version of "Sympathy for the Devil." I recommend starting at 1:42 when she figures out her camera problem:
Oh, but in my searching, I managed to find the "severed penis" song (Jared's)! Of course this occurred during Misha's panel. First, the lead-up/explanation for how the song came about, but if you just want to be confused, watch the song alone in the second of this pair of videos:
Here is the imo best song from Saturday Night Special: Gil singing and Osric rapping "See You Again." There were lots of musicians on the stage, the sound was rich, and everyone seemed to be digging it and enjoying themselves:
It was cute seeing Rich fanboy over Colin upon discovering he's the voice of Jake from "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" (at the end of this video):
I FINALLY FOUND THE SONG--it's at the very end of Alaina's panel. Start at 42:10. Unfortunately, it's hard to hear the words; I picked the version I found with the best sound, but it's hard to catch them all. Still, I wanted to put it up here in some form, since I've been raving about it FOR THIS ENTIRE POST. And, I'm happy to hear on this video, I wasn't the only one in hysterics.
I may or may not have more to say about the con later. Most of y'all have been to cons and there probably weren't any other great surprises, the whole con is on video, if you have any questions please feel free to ask in the comments. Some panels weren't so good (Alaina, honey, seriously, were you drunk every time you appeared or are you really just like that all the time? because I've seen you in other con videos and you weren't like that), most were definitely interesting and enjoyable, some were fantastic (Kim and Briana, and of course Misha and J2), but other than our terrible photo op with Misha, the con part of our trip was pretty good (except for the rude, mean woman sitting behind us making free to shout unnecessary stuff at fans asking questions and such). Also, virtually none of the fans at the con were Vegas types, which seemed to confuse the stars, expecting us to be partiers, and instead we sat there politely and quietly and enjoyed the show like good girls.
Oh, and I'll leave you with a photo of the shirt Misha wore onstage. This photo doesn't even capture the full extent of the hole(s) ....

Sometimes we need a quick sharp shock to understand how amazing our world really is ♥
We rule all, I have no shame at being an spn fan. This morning our work handyman at the home asked me where I,was going in May, I told him, he was well impre4ssed, not only that I was honest but I was so psyched! :D

I love being able to be open with people about my fannishness! It seems like the world is finding it more and more acceptable all the time. Good for you for being out and proud! :-D
