We have arrived in Chicago!

fickleone and I (along with my Hubby and his mother) just checked into the Wyndham!  Yay! 

Long day.  Started at 2:30 am Pacific Time and flew out at 6 am Pacific Time.  But the trip was very uneventful and pretty smooth.

fickleone is rooming with someone other than me (cuz of Hubby) and all five of us will be heading down to dinner in about 20ish minutes.  Then SPN viewing in someone's room tonight!

Man am I tired...

We watched tonight's episode with a bunch of SPN fans in the bar here at the hotel.  It was fun watching with other fans--but it was also hard to hear everything on the show.  So we will have to rewatch.

Then fickleone, her roommate, and I went and stood in line (maybe for an hour???) to register.  Last year in LA we were able to go right up and register--but here there was a line.   We talked to other fans and tried to be patient.

The bummer was the fact that there wasn't a SPN related photo gift for Gold Patrons.  There was a shot glass--which while nice--isn't exactly something we could use to get the other guests to sign.  Which I know I was considering if I couldn't find anything else for them to sign.

They gave away a Twilight poster.  Ugh.  But I did grab one for my daughter.

And we got some photos for Chad, Samantha, Gabe, Charles, and Richard to sign.  And we decided to add on a photo op with Gabe since so many fans said they really liked him in Dallas.

Now I'm back in room with hubby.  And am very, very tired. 

Glad we checked in tonight though--earliest thing we have tomorrow is noon-ish with Gabe.
