WinCon: An (Impromptu) Salon!

Okay, WinCon folks. You've seen the fine panels with which we've been presented. You've seen the schedule. You're going to be here in scenic Charm City, and you're asking yourself, where can I discuss issues of mythology, meta, plot arcs, and, of course, the awesomeness that is John Winchester? Ask no longer! We have a plan.

Myself, aka [livejournal.com profile] clex_monkie89, [livejournal.com profile] waterofthemoon, [livejournal.com profile] littlewings04, and a bevy of other delightful fangirls have your nerd needs covered. We want to host An (Impromptu) Salon. For those of you who slept through European History, we're paying homage to the great 19th century intellectual tradition of gathering with cocktails and beautiful women to talk about the Great Issues of the Day, only with more talk about pretty boys, hotass angels, Vietnam Vets, psychic powers, Yellow-Eyed Demons and why Kripke owns our souls. We want to have a few drinks, get down with the meta, and have a go-round at all the intellectual stuff that is making our nerdy hearts sing since last we all saw each other.

In essence, this is the place to get your geek on. Hardcore. Bring your theories, your complex ideas about Castiel and the nature of destiny, post-traumatic stress disorder and John Winchester, theodicy and the problem of evil in Supernatural, biblical prophecy and perdition, or what it means to have demon blood in you (and why does Sam make it sound like he's got AIDS?), anything that moves you. The rules are simple: be excellent to each other, and have some thinky thoughts. Or come watch people have thinky thoughts. Whatever melts your butter.

The Impromptu part (aside from a vague RENT reference because Kim is a dork like that) is that we want to know what time works for people who want to get down with their nerd selves. Friday after the vid show? Saturday night? (If any of y'all say Saturday morning early, we all will dump holy water on you. Fangirls are not morning people, and obviously, you're possessed.) Comment, plan, let's schedule. We want an SPN think tank filled with as many brains as possible.

Spread the word, spread the love: it's time to get geektastic.

(Yes, this was copied word-for-word from Kim's post.)

We have a schedule?

Dammit. I'm so far behind...

My only problem with this would be that I will be very, VERY drunk by Saturday. I did not drink last WinCon - too much driving. So if you let me in be aware that I will be geeking out, but the ADD version.

Hey, what's that IM program you had me download a while back? I lost all my programs when I had to have a new hard drive reinstalled, and I can't figure out what I used to chat on.

I WILL ATTEND THIS SALON only not with the drinking because I don't drink, but it will be awesome to sit in the same room IRL with you guys and talk about thinky things because I love this show! But obvs I will need to catch up on SPN first because !!! I am hearing such awesome things about the episodes (not spoiler wise, just squee and flailing etc) and I really want to watch them! But Tokyo Game Show and Japan etc etc hopefully I will get to watch 402 and 403 on the plane to BWI, that will be nice, then just 404 which MJ has specifially said she's bringing for me but I am sure half the con will have saved somewhere, and then 405 that night zomg!

...I'm really tired x_x

(pokees) Neko and I will opening Roadhouse on Friday, so id you put it there, I'll be missing on the geek'ry. And you know how I feel about mythological geek'ry. If you hold it after we finish opening, that'd be good, but you could also hold it Saturday. Or something. Whatever works. :x

I'll vote for Saturday, because it'll be a nice way to send off with everyone ^_^

I'm volunteering the check-in table, so I wouldn't be able to attend after the vid show, but any other time I'd love to be there!
