Wake a true haunting.

Not a long one this time, but still late. Sorry! My house is almost finished -- I started moving back in this last weekend, unpacking boxes -- but work is still nuts. Hopefully I will do better this week, and then turn to fiction during the hiatus. I'm backlogged on stories!

Cute feline commentary on fandom, in celebration of the Chicago Supernatural Convention:



Have a great time in Chicago, guys! Ask good questions ... (dang, I should have posted mine!)

Sorry this is so late. My overly busy real life is getting to be a very bad habit.

Don't miss my behind-the-scenes photos! I posted links in my previous blog entry, here.

Okay, folks:  I promised behind-the-scenes photos from my visits to two separate locations during shooting on Supernatural episode 5.06, I Believe the Children Are Our Future, after the episode aired.  I finally got them posted. The two different locations are in separate album slideshows over on my Photobucket account.

You can see the pictures from the location for the house where the babysitter died over here.

You can see the pictures from the house used for both Jesse's house and Julia's house over here.

The first one includes shots of Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles during shooting and between takes. I don't have any shots of the boys at the second location (we were asked not to shoot once they were working), but I went a little wild and crazy with the Impalas. *grin*

I wrote up the experience here earlier. There are more specific details included in the descriptions on the photos in the Photobucket albums.

No hotlinking, please. All images are Copyright 2009 Bardicvoice. Enjoy!!

My photos of the 2400 Motel, the real appearance of the garage redressed as the Canton Sheriff's impound garage, and my nighttime shots of the Impala parked at the curb outside the garage are here.

Despite my entire absence of time, I decided to sign up for the "Doctors Without Borders" Christmas charity fundraiser. This one is raising money in Jensen's and Jared's names for Doctors Without Borders, a charity Jensen has supported in the past.

My earnest apologies for how horribly late this review/commentary is; I plead the pressures of real life and work. If you're curious to see something of what I do in real life, well -- this is my work website, brand-new as of this past Tuesday night.

And now that's up, hopefully work won't get quite that much in the way of Supernatural again!

Finding the Holy Grail, Parts Two and Three: Supernatural on Location (no real spoilers)

In my last post, I danced for having finally seen Supernatural shooting on location, even though it was night and I never actually saw Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles. This post really picks up from that one, because before I left Vancouver, I managed to see filming twice more in daylight, and this time, got to see the boys at work!

I did get behind the scenes photos from both locations on Tuesday and Wednesday, September 1 and 2, including shots during filming on the first one, but I won’t post those photos until the episode (it’s 5.06) airs. The shots aren’t particularly spoilery – how often have we seen the boys walking to or from the car and talking? – but I’ll defer to the production folk, who really don’t want to see the fans spoiled before episodes air and who asked me to be discreet. All of the shots were taken from public rights of way adjacent to the filming; we were very careful never to trespass or intrude, and made certain that the crew knew that we would stop taking pictures and leave whenever they asked. They asked us to stop shooting photos before they began filming at the second location and we obliged, so I have no shots of the boys from there, but they never asked us to leave.

Without giving anything away, I can talk a bit about what I saw in terms of how things were done, and I will share one funny story from the crew and some observations of antics between takes.

Finding the Holy Grail: Supernatural on Location!

I’m pretty sure that every fan who comes to Vancouver hopes above all to encounter the Supernatural crew shooting on location – I know that’s been my Holy Grail for several years now, and in pursuit of it, I’ve driven to past and potential locations across the greater Vancouver area. Well, Thursday night, with the help of friends, I found it!

I knew I'd miss days during this year's 42 Days of Metallicar countdown. This is day 8 for me, but it will go in day 10 of the ongoing countdown, since I'm running late. Sorry about that! I do still promise to write all 42 stories, one for each year, but they'll take longer this time around.
