Let me start off by saying, my favorite emails I get are delusional hate mails. They truly are fun to read.... Sooo, before I get onto last nights adventure, I thought I would share 1 of these nuggets of wisdom, and my very professional & personable reply to them.

So, last night the cast of Supernatural returned from their Chicago fan convention.

AS EXPECTED (except by the crazies who think the world is a conspiracy theory)all the stars coming to Vancouver came in together. Jared Padalecki (with his wife Genevieve, and son Thomas), Jensen Ackles, with their bodyguard "Clig?" & Misha Collins.

After my encounter, as I usually do, I tweeted about my success & failures. Had a couple questions about it, tred to answer as many as I could before bed. Then woke up & read my "fan mail"

Usually, an email like that would get a snarky reply from me, and no follow up "proof", because I believe in not negotiating with terrorists. They want the pics, so they try to bully them out of you with "pics or it didnt happen" philosophy. A couple times over the years I have posted photos because of such whining, but 90% of the time, I usually let the nutjobs debate my "lies" in their tinfoil hat clubs.

This particular email woulda got the same enthusiastic level of "go fuck yourself, I dont care what you believe", but I did have several people on twitter & email say "I dont care how grainy they are...please, can I see them".  So I uploaded them into my computer & looked to see if anything was salvagable, and was mildly suprised to see that while still shitty, they werent horrendously impossible to identify the persons in them shitty. So I decided, I'll add them.

Now, lots of confusion on several facts that were asked via twitter, and this charming chap or lass above that I'll possibly explain in the actual blog part of this post.

I got to the airport and ran into another autograph hound, who much to my chagrin didnt even have anything for the SPN guys except for Jensen. Wish I had known that sooner, he coulda helped me with my plethora of Jared photos I still have to get done.

Once the flight landed, Jensen came out about 11:55'ish (give or take a couple mins) and was being escorted by their bodyguard. As I saw them approach I realized their driver was going to meet them at the door. The door only opens from the inside, with Clif there, it was no shock, but they let their driver inside & went thru the out door that was right there. I now had a 150-200 ft speed walk around the side to get outside & hurry down towards where the vehicles were waiting. As you can see by my pics, never got really too close. Knowing Jared still had to come, I snapped a couple quick pics, hoped maybe I got something & knowing damn well I probably didnt, and headed back inside.

About 10 or so minutes later, Jared popped up on the screen, with Gen a Porter and a bunch of luggage. Gen had Thomas in 1 of those carry them on the front of you things mothers use, while Jared walked along with her & the porter. As they came around the corner, I snapped a couple pics of them as I knew by the time they got to the door, I might have to run outside. So I didnt even wait to see if they went thru the inside or went right outside, I headed straight outside. Sure enough, thats what happened as well. I made the beeline outside knowing they will be slower with the porter pushing all the stuff & Gen carrying Thomas & I might actually have a chance to get up to them. I made it out there in plenty of time this time. As I waited for them to get to the vehicle, I displayed my photos to Jared & asked if he can sign (contractually, hes not allowed to till Midnight) and was all ready to tell him "but its after midnight" when he took a quick look at his watch and then replied "sure" and proceeded to sign. He then said he hadnt seen me in a while, I told him I was out of town for awhile, he asked where, I told him Toronto, he said "oh, I was just there last month" which of course I knew.

While the driver & porter were loading the vehicle, I broached the question to Jared "can Gen sign right now, or is it a bad ti..." "yeah sure" then he called Gen over, and she signed, while Thomas sat in the contraption I dont know the name of. I said hi to Thomas, and he didnt even say hi back, how rude eh?

Jared & I talked for a few more seconds, I asked him about getting a photo of him & Gen together. He thought for a second about it & replied "maybe another time, when shes not with thomas" & I knew he was basically saying "haha, no.. I know what your trying to do", but he was quite cordial & professional in declining it I thought. I then let them go on their way.

When I got back inside the other autograph hound told me "Mishas over there" & although I had nothing for him, I went to say hi. He was busy trying to figure out where his driver was. Seems his driver wasnt as familiar with what he looks like as he shoulda been. In the drivers defense, Misha was wearing a touque, so he probably did look a bit different. I told Misha, I think that was his driver (with his face almost pressed up against the glass he was so close) looking longingly into the arrival area for his client. He started walking over, and the manager/head driver of the co. was just coming back in from escorting Jared out (I thought he drove him, but appears not), and I told Misha "ask him" & sure enough he summoned the driver against the glass to come over, and Misha was eventually on his way too.

Because these photos are, to be honest, some of the worst ones I've taken, I didnt even tag them. IF you repost them anywhere, please include a link to the source. If people can play by these rules, I'll try to be less intrusive with the tags I put on the better photos in the future.

For all this time, some of you thought it was Sam & Dean, or Dean & Cas that were the couple who might be "too close". Wellll, this bombshell may floor you all.

I recently saw the angel Castiel jumping into the back of a camper van with none other than the "abomination" as hes called him in the past, Sam Winchester.

I know some of you very very inappropriately minded people are going to run with this in a direction you shouldnt go to. I am sure your assumptions are being taken out of context and when we see the episode, this scene will make more sense..... or, the creative team have sold a spin-off show to a cable network & this is them doing a scene of that on the side.

Anyways... here is the said video. SORRY its so dark, I dont really know much about editing videos to make it brighter... I am sure 1 of you tech savvy fans will figure it out and home (and possibly tell me?). Just remember, DO NOT re-post it anywhere, as I will have it taken down. Feel free to post the LINK TO THIS BLOG POST, but taking the video & re-posting it anywhere, including your own sites, tumblr, youtube, livejournal etc etc wont be tolerated. I will post this on youtube when I get around to it. For now, this SHOULD be the only place to see it.

TO BEST VIEW THIS VIDEO - please select full screen option. The video player inside the blog post will cut off the right side of the screen for some reason.

Here are some more pics from the filming on Friday night.

They are NOT as good as the 1st batch http://canadagraphs.weebly.com/5/post/2012/10/supernatural-films-scenes-for-season-8-last-night-with-jensen-jared-misha.html Like I said in the last blog, dark, too far away, bad lighting = bad photos.

Some people simply want to see "something", so I am posting a few more of the "you sorta can tell whats going on" batch.

This was a rare night for filming. All 3 of the shows stars were on set together, and the crew did NOTHING to prevent fans from taking photos. That simply NEVER happens on the SPN set. The only "dont do that" they asked was no flash photography (a staple of ANY film set), and most everyone obliged.

The cool moment of the night was when Misha Collins came over on a break & chatted with the fans for about 2-4 minutes. The fans congratulated him on his 2nd child, and 1 couple told him how they named their cat after his character "Catstiel". Wouldnt you know it, probably 1st time ever, I had NOTHING on me to get signed either.

I do have video from a take of Jared & Misha doing a scene where they jump into the back of a camper van together (I can see you are already letting your minds wander to a bad place). Its not terribly long, and its pretty dark, but you can clearly tell who it is in the scene. Now, question is.... anyone want to see it? I basically would need to upload it in the next 2 days, as my Pro acct for this site expires then, and I wont be able to host videos directly on here & would have to upload them to youtube, then link the youtube video to here blah blah blah... and frankly thats not something I am a fan of doing. Sooo, if this blog, as crappy as it is, gets to 1000 views before my subscription expires, I'll post it.

THIS POST MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR SEASON 8 OF SUPERNATURAL. If you DO NOT want to read or see spoilers, DO NOT CONTINUE.

LAST WARNING
.
.

Yesterday I decided to go check out the Supernatural set over on Richards St. Oddly enough, I had found the info of them filming there while looking for them the day prior. It is pretty rare finding this show downtown twice in a month, let alone 2 days in a row.

My 1st attempt to scope out the set was fruitless as they were filming at the top of a building & I never found a spot that gave me a chance to see what was going on up there.

So, notable spoiler in this thread...... it appears Castiel eventually gets out of purgatory sometime this season & re-unites with the Winchesters.... of course, scenes can sometimes be deceptive in what they tell. Buuut, anyways...last night...

I came back around 7:30-8PM for the evening shoot that was going to be on the street. Just as I got there, I caught the last take of a scene that had Jensen & Jared (and apparently Misha, but I didnt see him) where they get out of the Impala. Right after that, the boys took off with their driver. I expected they would be back, but with no guarantees, I started asking the fans what I had missed. Thats when I was told of Misha being around as well.

Sure enough a little while later, the boys would return to the set (honestly, why bother leaving? They get to spend like 10 mins in their trailer... is that really worth it??). This time the Impala was now on the other side of the st. The scene had the trio get out of the car & hard down to a crime scene. They boys flash their very legitimate I'm sure police/FBI/etc badges to a cop & walk in under crime tape.

After that, they did a scene where the 3 of them come out of the Impala again, walk to the end of the alley, and split up. Jared & Misha go 1 way, as Jensen goes the other.

A solo scene of Jensen was shot where his character Dean Winchester was putting his hand thru a hole that I assume is supposed to be mysterious in some way as it was in the side of a brick building.

After that, a scene with Jared & Misha as Sam & Castiel did a scene where they walked up the street and decided to check out a red camper van & just go right in.

If there was any scenes after that, I dont know. I left there The lighting, as with ANY SPN set was terrible, so although I took like 400+ photos last night, really there was maybe 70-90 that I didnt think entirely suck. I added a couple of the grainier shots & blurrier ones in the set just so you see what we had to deal with. All it took was the slightest movement by them or me, and the photos were ruined.

As with ALL my posts. Do not re-post them to your site, tumblr, facebook, livejournal etc without proper credits. Do not post with tags removed. If found, they will be removed & your site provider may take more actions against you as some of you on tumblr recall from last year.
