Supernatural Fan Meet-Up
Nov. 9th, 2007 10:22 pmThe only fan gatherings I've been to before this have been for my SGAHC Yahoo!Group at various conventions. All the planning in the world usually only manages to get about a dozen of us in the same place at the same time.
Tonight was the Supernatural fan meet-up, hosted by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
spn_creationcon, for the Chicago Creation event. There were about eighty people there. We took over an entire section of the restaurant. Each place setting included a goodie bag containing a flier from Fandom Rocks (proceeds from the purchase of raffle tickets went to them), a bumper sticker ("Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole"), a season 2 trading card, a keychain of both Winchester boys, peanut M&Ms, salt packets, matches, a fake fake ID (mine said Dean was Mayor Richard Daley), and a mix CD of songs that have been used on the show. Dinner consisted of soup or salad, an entree, and dessert. A very nice woman sitting across from me decided to say hello by buying our end of the table a round of purple nurples. I'd never had one before. It was very sweet of her, but man those things are vile. I'm glad I waited until the food came to try it. It took me three spicy chicken strips to wash the taste out of my mouth. Also, through sheer random plopping down in a vacant seat, I wound up sitting next to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kroki_refur and buffyaddict13, whose fic I've read. Dinner was followed by a raffle of Supernatural merchandise (the comics, tie-in novels, trading cards, etc.) at which I totally failed to win anything. The whole event lasted about three hours. Kudos to those who planned it for being able to pull off such a huge group activity.
