Jensen Ackles | Seattle Convention, June 30, 2024 [x]

I know you did this analysis a few months ago, but now with the cons in progress and the ones that wouldn't have Jared having already happened, do you notice a difference in the amount of audience in the ones where he was and the ones he wasn't? At first it seemed so to me. But we had two cons where I heard comments from the actors about how crowded it was. And one had Jared and the other didn't.

So the problem is that I have ADHD which means I get bored with topics, but also I realized that I needed to control for more variables and get a lot more data.

For example, I predicted that Columbus would do better than SF regardless of if Jared showed up. Why? At the cons, they'll ask how many new timers and at least half if not more of the audience raises their hands.

If it's a new city in a place with a lot of Supernatural fans, then you'll get a high turn out and Ohio is definitely a place with a lot of Supernatural fans.

A lot of these first timers find out about the conventions through local media and, if it's the first one for their city, they aren't going to care as much which specific guests will attend as long as at least one lead is there.

Conversely, if a new city has a low turn out, it may not be because of Jared absent, but because of a low marketing reach or interest in Supernatural. Therefore, I don't think you can use new cities to accurately judge the Jared effect.

At SFcon, which is a well established con, the audience dropped by probably a half, definitely 1/3, but then a lot of us knew we could do other cons with Jared. That's a con where I think you can measure how much the con suffered by not having Jared attend. So we should only be looking at cons where Jared is added in or didn't attend this year.

But if you look at, say Seattle, Jared was added rather late, so that doesn't show how many would've showed up had he been added earlier. If I had known earlier, I would've switched SF for Seattle, but by the time Seattle was announced, I didn't have the ability. In the summer, a lot of people have vacation plans, so you'll want something that's announced ahead of time by at least 3 months.

Also, at SFcon, JDM dropped as well, so you can't say that Jared alone was the reason it dropped so dramatically from last year. If JDM had been there, I suspect it would be closer to Burbank.

So you'll need cons where Jared attended last year, but didn't this year: SFcon

Or cons where Jared was added with a decent amount of time: Charlotte, DC, Orlando

[Please let me know if I'm missing any!]

The problem with cons where Jared was added in was that I'll need data from other cons/other years at that con that show how many more seats were bought in comparable time spans. I would have to grab screenshots from a lot of other cons and calculate how many seats are sold first month, second month, etc, and then compare that to the Jared added on cons in order to ascertain if there's a difference between a natural increase versus people joining just because of Jared.

I'm not spending my time doing that. If someone wants to grab that data for me, I'd be happy to run the numbers, but that's a lot of work and my ADHD brain has already moved onto other more interesting data sets.

More than all that, having attended both Burbank and SFcon, there were a lot of Jared fans at both! At SFcon, there were a lot of people running around with these large red pins that said Team Moose. There were people wearing Jared/Sam shirts and he got votes close to Dean and Castiel despite fewer fans there relative to the other two.

I think it's safe to say that SFcon isn't returning because Jared wasn't there, but a sample size of 1 is not a good sample size. That may reflect the people of Bay Area more than the Supernatural con fandom as a whole.

[I'm also struck by now many men and families with small children attend the SFcon as compared to the other cons]

One interesting thing is that this shows that many of our filmers are more likely to be Jared leaning fans. It also proves to me that Jensen/Misha fans are not more likely to attend Friday/Sat. There used to be this claim by Jared antis that Jared fans were terrible to the other cast members and only showed up on Sunday.

At both Burbank/SF, the turn out for question asking and Fri/Sat panels was embarrassingly low and there were times when no one went up to ask a question.

Sunday was absolutely packed at SFcon compared to the other two days. Lots of empty seats earlier. I also noticed that there was a greater percentage of new people on Friday and Sat compared to Sunday. It was about 1/2 new on Sat and 1/3 new on Sunday.

I think that it's more a reflection of the GA than fans of particular actors.

For example, I noticed at SFcon a lot of people saying, "Who's that????" in regards to some con staples like Adam Rose and Jason Manns. I was with people who had to be reminded who Kim and Bri were. They also didn't remember the golem episode, but when I pulled up photos of Adam Rose and they saw him in a construction vest, they recognized him. So I think the low turn out is less people actively disliking other guests, but people who genuinely don't know them.

With a snowstorm like Washington state hadn't seen in 50 years, #SPNSea was sure to be unlike any convention in Supernatural convention history. The kindness that ensued was nothing short of on brand for the #SPNFamily <3

April 9, 2017 Supernatural Seattle Convention

I finally have time to write about my first Supernatural convention in Seattle! I know this is about four months late hahaha but better late than never. The Saturday night of the convention, I found out that Jared and Jensen was in Capitol Hill/SODO area and the Sunday morning of the convention Misha was in downtown Seattle, which is only ten minutes from where I live. Seriously I was a hot mess cause yay they are in Seattle! My home since I was six years old. I didn’t get any sleep Saturday night cause I still couldn’t process the fact that I was going to meet Jensen and Misha. Truth be told I was running on maybe four hours of sleep and I was procrastinating on a major paper due that week. It was worth procrastinating even if I didn’t do to well on that paper lol. 

Bellevue isn’t far from where I live. I was so nervous when we were driving to the hotel. I didn’t know what to expect but once we got there the volunteers were so nice. We got our wrist bands, photo op tickets, and bought merchandise. While we were walking around we saw Rob Benedict. He fucking passed us twice and I was such a nervous wreck both times. My heart was beating so fast, I couldn’t even say anything or wave. We took multiple photos with the impala and the poster banners before the panels began. Mark Sheppard’s panel was fucking hilarious. He was so sassy and i loved it. I’m so glad I was able to see him since he isn’t doing creation cons after this year. After Mark’s panel was J2′s panel. It was my first panel with both of them so I didn’t know what to expect. When someone asked which finale was the hardest to film, Jensen said we haven’t filmed it yet, Kamille and I knew Cas was going to fucking die. We just had a feeling and Jensen just confirmed it for us. After the panels, was our cockles and Cas photo op. 

Cockles photo op: Before the photo op I was a nervous wreck. I was shaking and my body felt cold. While I was in line, witnessing the way Misha and Jensen interacted melted my heart. It was easy and that’s why I love them so much. My sister and I were clueless in what to do but we ended up doing a hugging photo. She got Misha and I got Jensen. It went by so fast. His hug made me relax. It honestly felt like an outer body experience and I’m still trying to process it. Once the photo was taken, I began to drop my arms around Jensen. He still had his arm over my side and then I looked him right in the eyes and said thank you. My fucking god I couldn’t even hear what he said after. Maybe he said of course or no thank you. Cause after I said thank you, I was looked down immediately and tried to leave because I was so fucking nervous. I was just in awe with him. I was so high off of that encounter. 

Castiel photo op: I was still a fucking nervous wreck. I tried to be among the last group of people to get the Castiel photo ip. Misha looked so tired. We made eye contact multiple times while I was in line and I seriously fucking melted having those damn fucking blue eyes stare at you. Kamille was the one who talked and asked him if it was okay to do our pose. She pulled his tie and I held his hand. When I asked to hold his hands, I was so nervous. I hope my hands were a clammy mess ahahaha. How he held my hand was so awkward. LOL. That was probably why I felt a little more grounded in this photo op than the cockles’ one. Two go my fingers were wedged in between his fingers. It was honestly so fucking hilarious. I love it. That moment probably made this photo op very memorable for me. 

This was among the best days I had. Everyone who we met and interacted with in the convention was welcoming and it was very easy to open up and talk to people. Kamille and I joined this fandom only a year ago in August and I couldn’t be happier admiring people who do so much for their fans and community. With love, I appreciate this family I have grown to be part of the past year. Can’t wait to write about our experience in vancon later!

Apologies if this is old news but I just found out via TikTok that the developers of the Last of Us 2 included a supernatural easter egg where you stumble across jensen's bloody corpse in the seattle convention center and find the dying letter he wrote to misha apologizing for getting killed by a zombie?! I feel like I'm losing my mind right now

Huh?? i have never played a video game in my life, but this cant be normal
