Columbus, Ohio is a city I don’t think I’ve ever been to before so I was excited that there was a Creation Supernatural convention there in June. It’s also a city where two of my friends who I do not get to see NEARLY enough live, so I was extra excited!
My friend Alice is one of those friends, the lovely person who founded the Winchester Family Business website that, along with this one, has been covering all things Supernatural and Supernatural-adjacent since the very beginning of this wild ride. She picked me up at the airport and joined me at my vendor table all weekend, which made vending even more enjoyable than it always is.
We had a lovely dinner on her back deck with her hubby and some rambunctious dogs and cats, and then joined in some of the karaoke fun. It’s so awesome to have Matt Cohen back at karaoke, and DJ Qualls was made to be the host. Don’t miss the Friday night fun if you’re at a con – or even if you just stop by for that!
Saturday I caught a bit of the R2M panel, which I also love having back – Matt, Rich and Rob are inevitably hilarious together.
Rob: I’m a fanboy when it comes to music.
Matt: Did you just say a hot dog shoved inside a pickle??
A fan asked the three about the history of that time they wore pink pants in Paris. Richard proceeded to give the entire history of pants.
Rich: Did I answer your question?
Fan: Uh, no…
They all laughed about going shopping together for salmon pants and having a blast.
What is the episode that best represents Supernatural to them?
Matt: ‘Baby’, and not just because I’m in it. It’s the boys in the car on the road.
Matt gets it.
Rob: Swan Song, with its great recap up til that point.
Another great choice.
Rob was asked about his musical influences and he said Pearl Jam.
Someone asked Rich about his role in Band of Brothers and he said he did a lot of research for Skip’s backstory.
Rich: There was no google then!
Rich on directing Supernatural: The violence is very carefully planned out and storyboarded.
Matt on directing Supernatural: You want to do a lot of planning and you also want to make sure you tell the entire story.
Before the ladies panel, we got to wish Kim Rhodes a happy birthday. Thank you for your beautiful chapter in Family Don’t End With Blood, Kim – I know it has inspired so many people who have read about your experience with the show and how fandom changed you.
Kim Rhodes, Briana Buckmaster, Samantha Smith and Lisa Berry were a fab foursome.
