The Brian Buckley Band and The Supernatural Saturday Night Celebrity Dessert and Cocktail Party

Up on the 32nd floor of the beautiful Westin St. Francis Jared Padalecki and his wife Genevieve Cortese introduced the Brian Buckley Band for the night's entertainment. Brian is an old friend of Jared's and Supernatural has a very loyal following so the introduction was bound to happen. But the band is actually good, very good. As Jared stated "Music is the only medium that inspires all other medium," and just listening to him gush about the band you can certainly see his genuine enthusiasm, which was not wasted.

Jared and Genevieve stayed around for a little while after the show where Gen was happy to take pictures and autograph a few items, even though she was not on the schedule for the weekend.

When asked why she wasn't a part of the convention, she seemed to think that some fans might have it in for her. But there was nothing but love in the room that night.

Once Jared and Genevieve left it was time for the last event of the night: the Saturday Night Celebrity Dessert and Cocktail party. This is the one part of the entire convention that there was really anything to complain about.

Earlier during the autograph session Richard Speight Jr. had asked my if I was enjoying myself, to which I answered "I'm trying." So he says "Tell Uncle Richard what's the problem." "I'm waiting for drinks and chocolate cake." And he promised there would be both.

But low and behold there was no chocolate cake, so Uncle Richard did not deliver. There was ice cream, served in a cold room. Not nearly as much fun, but a little one on one time would make up for it right? Wrong. Uncle Richard likened it to speed dating. The stars only got about 3 and 1/2 minutes per table. Not much time when there are 9 other people sitting with you.

But when I brought up the cake Richard jokingly said that "Uncle Richard was lied to as well. That's it, no Christmas card." Why I lost my Christmas card privileges because of the lack of cake? "Because we have a very dysfunctional family." I'll take that answer, entertaining as always.
