All Hell Breaks Loose 5 - Supernatural Convention Report

*writer's note: I wrote this report for a multi-fandom site called capslockit which is run by a couple of pals of mine and is super awesome, so that's why it's a little bit more explainy than I would usually do for purely Supernatural fans. Make sure you check out capslockit, there are some great interviews on there with some Supernatural cast, amongst other fabulous stuff!

ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE 5 – SUPERNATURAL CONVENTION REPORT.

Guests: Misha Collins, Mark Sheppard, Richard Speight Jnr., Matt Cohen, Mitch Pileggi, Corin Nemec.

All Hell Breaks Loose is a convention dedicated to the TV show, Supernatural that takes place yearly in Australia at the end of May. The convention is over 1 weekend, but is split across 2 States with the Saturday taking place in Sydney and the Sunday in Melbourne.

I’ve attended the Sydney event each year...except the first year in 2010...which is the only year Jensen, and Jared attended and the only one I couldn’t get to! Of course! Curses! Which is why I now travel over the seas twice a year to attend the U.S. Supernatural conventions because seeing the Js is a MUST!

All Hell Breaks Loose is a pretty casual affair, being as it’s in Aussie and we are notoriously casual. The cast seem to have a great time and are pretty loose on stage…even more so than usual! The day consists of photos with the cast, panels and then autographs.

This year the convention took place over the weekend of May 31/June 1, though technically, it kicked off on the night of May 30 with the Sydney VIP cocktail party and the karaoke (which for some reason is called the “Sing-a-long, which is equal parts cringe-worthy and hilarious!). I had the VIP ticket, so I was having drinks with the cast!

The cocktail party was a seated event (the previous year it had been a mingle) with a maximum on 8 people per table including the guest. If anyone has been to the Creation Supernatural convention cocktail parties, it’s a similar thing…but with less people on the tables and more time with the guests. Where as Creation’s cocktail parties are like speed dating on, well, speed, with only 90 seconds per guest, at AHBL, we get about 15 to 20 minutes with the guest and with such a small group on the table, that’s a good amount of time to chat!

Supernatural Headline News - 27 June 2014

Hello...

I'm back! Apparently when the Supernatural crew went on hiatus so did I! Of course, I've still been talking Supernatural on the Women of Letters Podcast, so I haven't totally been hiatusing!

But like the Supernatural crew, it's time to get back to work!

I have some projects I'll be tackling throughout hiatus, so keep an eye out, but for now, I'm kicking off with the Supernatural Headline News!

As we head towards SNX, I'll keep you up to date with all the news fit to print regarding anything to do with our show.

So here we go! The first edition of the SNX Supernatural Headline News (complete with new banner!)

Hellatus dragging you down?

We discuss the mythology, how it's changed over the seasons and what was established in season 1 that we saw develop and influence what we know now.

We also look at the characters, Dean, Sam and John along with Meg and Bobby,

We talk about how the characters were first presented and what was laid out that informed us to who the characters really were and how they would then develop as the seasons progressed.
