Charlotte is one of my favorite Supernatural conventions, mostly because some of my best friends are there – and that’s one of the best part of cons. It’s a short flight, and the weather was gorgeous that weekend, and that made it even better. Jared Padalecki unfortunately had to cancel, which we were all sad about, but I know how reluctant he is to have to do that so I’m sure it was an important conflict. We missed you though, Jared!
I flew down on Thursday just to hang out, and on Friday caught a little bit of the panels with some of my favorite people on the cast side of the SPN Family in between being at the book table in the vendor room. That includes, of course, Ruth Connell, who has embraced some of her inner Rowena.
Ruth: I found out that my grandmother, who was the most practical woman ever, also read tea leaves.
Also Ruth: I’ll try anything once. Except a Ouija board, that terrifies me!
I’m with her – still remember some of my childhood exploits with friends at sleepovers, all of us convinced “It moved!!”
Ruth is always inspiring, just like the chapter she wrote in Family Don’t End With Blood.
Ruth: Everyone has something creative inside them.
She feels her time on Supernatural was sort of meant to be. Her first episode was called Soul Survivor, which was a perfect reflection of her life at that time too.
She was supposed to be in the series finale too originally.
Ruth: I was supposed to be in Hell, finding out the news about Dean in the finale.
Like pretty much every single one of the cast, Ruth also had some encouraging words on a Season 16.
Ruth: I’m ready to wager that Supernatural will be back!
Me: (crosses all fingers and toes)
I also love that she was wearing a comfy plaid Supernatural shirt with SW-DW embroidered on it. In fact, I loved her entire outfit (as I often do – she has a wonderful sense of style).
