OMGFLAIL SPN! Plus, Portus Coolness (Hurrah for Dallas!)

[heidi]

Show. Nearly single-digit-hour-counting mode for Show.

Meep.

Hopefully Aaron will be home from Nashville in time to enable me to watch Show in real-time.

I am completely unspoiled for everything other than what was at the end of 3.15, and if I can just make it through the day...

Most of my flist seems to be in spoiler-avoidance mode, too. Those of you who are into SPN - are you more spoiled for this year's finale than you were for last year's (assuming you watched it the week it aired last year)?

Special shout-out to all the wonderful people I watched 2.22 with at Phoenix Rising last year, and the lovely ladies who joined me for 3.14 two weeks ago in NYC - I miss you all!

Is there any interest in a watching party in Orlando the day before EyeCon starts? Maybe we should discuss this when we actually know the Friday schedule, but it could be *fun*.

Today is the last day to sign up for spn_summergen - there's so many fantastic prompts in the comm this time, and I just can't wait to see what amazingness the fandom creates this summer, between this challenge and spn_j2_bigbang.

In Portus news - TaxMagic brings you our last discount before Portus!

It's May, and owls are flying all over the country dropping off those
much desired tax refunds. To celebrate all the extra galleons and
sickles being dropped at our doorsteps, we have decided to present you
with one last discount before Portus arrives this July! From May 13th
through May 31st, enter the code TAXMAN when registering for Portus,
and you will receive a 20% discount on full and day registrations.
It's the perfect time to give your friend or relative a gift
registration for Portus! To register, please click here!

If you're not interested in a full day registration, but you're in the Dallas area, you should consider coming for lunch on Friday to hear Dr Henry Jenkins speak about fandom and fan creativity, or come on Saturday to hear moniquetrottier, lately of Raincoast Books, speak about marketing the Harry Potter novels in Canada, and about books, technology and publishing. Or join us at the afternoon teas (or, coming soon, the Sweet Shoppe Hangout). Tickets for those events are available to the general public, separate from a registration, and if you have any questions, let me know!

ETA - oh, SQUEE! Just solidified something smashing for Portus - more info coming this weekend...

I just replied to your email but it bounced back, so I don't know if it went through. Anyway, yes, we can use the help! I'm not really sure how we're going to work it, since I'm kind of useless for this next week, but we'll figure something out.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Cool! My email was so weird on May 1-3 while I was traveling, and I wasn't sure it ever got to you then, so at least now, yay.

I'm ping-able on YM, AIM and gtalk, so buzz me if there's anything you need me to help with. Might be better than email, because still, nothing is coming through.

Except I'm not around between 9 and 10 eastern time tonight, because, yeah.

How's the packing going?

[wendy.livejournal.com]

We need to make some plans so I know I'll get to see you while you're here.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Definitely! There's a dessert thing and a Saturday afternoon tea at the con, if you want to come for that. Otherwise, I should be able to do something on Friday night. Saturday evening I have this Jim Dale thing so it's harder to get away then. Or, you know, both. And maybe other Dallas-people might want to join? I know a few SPN fandomers who are also coming to the con...

[wendy.livejournal.com]

For sure. Maybe we should just plan on dinner Friday night then? I can round up the local people and you can wrangle the SPN/HP fans at the con? We could meet at the hotel restaurant or something.

I'm actually less spoiled for this year's finale than last year's; there seems to be less spoilery content online this go-around. I've seen the First Look clips and stills and stuff, so I have a general idea of what's going on, but how this is all going to end is beyond me.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

I think last year was also compounded by the fact that we didn't know that Show had been renewed until the day of the finale, or maybe the day before. So there was a *lot* of exponentially exacerbated stress about that, as well as about what was going to happen. This year, they had the luxury of writing and filming Show, knowing it was coming back. Wheeee, angst!

[gorgeousnerd]

It is nice not to have the normal renewal stress, but I think the writers' strike had stress of its own involved. Either way, I'm totally excited for the finale!

I've been staying away from spoilers leik WHOA! So tonight is going to hurt.

I wish I knew other fangirls that lived nearby, I would totally have a Finale Bash.

Happy Winchester Day. Hope to see you in the post-show freak out. :OP

: is still freaking out a bit

Heh. I'm just glad the season is ending because that means it will come out on DVD in a few months and I can actually watch the damn season.

I fail at watching shows on TV.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

It's all on amazon's UNBOX as well as itunes, too.

[mawaridi.livejournal.com]

Yes, but sadly it's no use when your house is still on 56k dialup >_< I long for the day when I can buy TV on the internet, but this time it is not to be!

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

Eep! I almost missed the summergen signup... I would have been crying tears of cryingness because I *love* gen ficathons...

*hops from foot to foot in glee*

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Yay! Glad you made it in!
