Technically, I'm combining 2 things here: Merry Monday & a birthday post for Jensen. ;)

Instead of a picspam, I thought I'd celebrate Jensen's amazing singing voice. As if being an outstanding actor, a gifted director, and incredible human being weren't enough: yes, Jensen can sing. Honestly, at this point I'd love to know what he isn't good at. I'm sure it's a short list! I've been so fortunate to hear him sing in person 4 times. Here are 3 of my best recordings of his performances.

I would've posted the first time Jensen sang at VanCon back in 2015, but the audio isn't so good in that video. But in 2016 Jensen went more acoustic with the song and it was still a great performance.


VanCon 2018 would be my last con and while I'd been hoping Jensen would sing "Brother", instead we got treated to 2 songs from Jensen, including this brand new song! Many of us exclaimed afterwards that this wasn't Jensen on stage, but Dean Winchester himself!


Jensen sings the Saturday Night Special classic, "Whipping Post". Again, with better audio than my 2017 recording of him sining the song.

We wrap up SNS in true VanCon style: with a big group of the SPN crew coming on stage to join in on the fun. You'll also see DJ Qualls & Alexander Calvert (who we'd actually see - many of us for the 1st time - the next day at his panel). Hope you've enjoyed the SNS videos. There's one more post to go!

Richard brings some country to the concert and Rob sings one of my favorite Louden Swain songs. ♥

Finally we get to Jensen singing!!! :D
I had hoped I'd get to hear Jensen sing "Brother" in person, but instead was treated to a new song! As many have said online (and I agree), we got Dean singing for us! Of course, "Whipping Post" was just the cherry on top. ;)

More of my videos from the Saturday Night Special from last October's VanCon.
Ruth Connell lights up the stage & then Louden Swain take over again. :)

Finally getting to my videos from the Saturday Night Special from last October's VanCon.
Louden Swain kicks off the show with a couple of great songs and then Matt Cohen sings.

Had to cut off the first video because I was conserving card space & battery power for "Carry On" at the end. ;)

You've gotta have a Backstreet Boys song at Karaoke, it's almost a requirement at this point. But Kim & Briana doing an interpretive dance to it? That's new! :) Then Matt returns to take over the last half of Karaoke alone.

Two more videos from Karaoke. Yes, I did nearly video the entire 2 hours.

Time to start posting about my trip to VanCon in October (finally!). Sorry it's taken me so long. So many reasons, but I want to get these posts done before I totally forget what happened (if I haven't already). I'll try to watch videos of some of the panels to help pepper these posts with some memories.

These were taken with my smaller Canon camera and are not the greatest quality. My normal practice is to take a few shots with this camera at the beginning of each panel and then switch to my bigger Canon camera for the rest. I rarely do any editing on these, they're simply presented "as is". Hopefully, you'll still find these pics enjoyable despite the light/contrast or blurriness issues. :)

Such a great panel with Kim & Briana! You know, we're pretty lucky in the SPN Family. A lot of actors are closed-off and you never learn much about them, but our actors, especially these women...they totally open up to us about themselves and their lives, their trials and tribulations, their inner struggles. It's pretty amazing, along with fun and educational. They totally explained that Wayward Sisters will NOT be a TV series. It's over. Everyone's moved on. It's the business. Yes, the idea and the movement will charge on, but a TV show? Nada. OMG and Briana answering a Star Trek: Voyager question as Kim...so hilarious!!! Oh, and to the morons on SM who insist that these 2 ladies hate and talk badly about Jensen & Jared? I quote from Kim: "These two guys are consummate, heroic professionals." They then went on to describe how the boys are "playful" when they prank fellow actors on set. Briana: "They really are not going to pull pranks on people they don't know because they want to make sure you would be comfortable with it. They pull pranks on people that they know are going to be comfortable with it. And they prefer to pull pranks on people who are going to try and pull pranks back. 'Cause then it's like, 'Oh, it's on! Ok, it's on!'. Because they really are just children, they just wanna play." :)
