USA Roadtrip!!!

[beelikej]

*Happy sigh* Just spent hours stalking the Asylum14 tag on Twitter to vicariously enjoy Jeff, Jensen and Jared on stage at the SPN-convention in Birmingham. That was time well spent;) Plus I got a double dose of JDM, who is very much missing in this year's spn_j2_bigbang :( Fortunately there is still plenty of J2 fic to choose from; I ended up with six summaries for my claimlist. I'm going to try to make a top three out of that tonight. We'll see what happens. During my break from fanarting the past few weeks I already caved into collaborations for two other projects, so my muse has plenty to play with either way;)

Now, get ready for a very important announcement. I already mentioned this at the end of my long post from last weekend, which was packed with linkies and stuff, so for those of you who missed it:

I'm coming to the USA this Summer to meet up with the awesome tmn1966 and we're going on a roadtrip! Here's the plan, copied from her LJ:
During the first two weeks of August, we'll be heading out on the open road, driving from Canton, Ohio to Dallas, Texas. Part of our route will include the historic Route 66. The states we'll be going through are:

Ohio - Indiana - Illinois - Missouri - Oklahoma - Texas

If any f-listies are along or near our route, we'd love to make a stop to see you!! You can PM one of us if you'd rather not leave a comment.

*bounces* I can't wait to finally meet tmn1966 for real; I've been wanting to chat with her in person ever since we bonded during ReverseBang years ago <3 Fandom rocks \m/

Dunno if you're coming this far north, but . . . CHICAGO CHECKING IN!! (Route 66 begins in Chicago, yanno.) ;)

Exciting road trip is exciting! Hope you have a wonderful time.

I am trying to be chill about Big Bang, but I am so not, really. Meep.

How fun! I live just a few minutes off of 66 in the Chicago suburbs!!

USA roadtrips are awesome, I hope you'll have so much fun!

I bemoaned the lack of JDM as well in bb this year. Speaking of bb, I am not nervous, not nervous at all. *curls up in her be, with cuddle pillow and gnaws on her nails*

Good luck with claims, I hope you'll get what you want!

So excited!! I cannot wait!!!

Looks like we'll be heading up to Chicago on our way back to Ohio. Yay! I've never been there either. :)

OOooh! I was all ready to pout and let you know it would be too far off our planned route and then tmn1966 said we could totally do it on the way back and I was all YAY, Chicago! (Silly me hadn't even thought about the return trip, d'oh)

I already have your e-mail, right? Will keep you posted on our plans!
Or mail me at beelikej@gmail.com

You do? Well, I have just been informed by tmn1966 that we can totally drop by Chicago on our way back. Do you want to meet up for coffee and fangirling? (See also cassiopeia7 up above;)

Mail me so I can keep you posted of our plans? BeeLikeJ@gmail.com

It really is! It's been ages since I've been to the USA and I'm sure this is the ultimate way to experience it:)

Ahw, I know how stressful claimday is from that side of the dancefloor. It will turn our fine though. Good luck!

I did a tiny roadtrip my first time in the USA (in 1988) but have been exploring the country mostly by Greyhound bus (so. many. busses.) This will be so very awesome.

I hope all the JDMing at cons will inspire authors to include him in the next writingchallenge;)

Claimday is so nervewracking if you're waiting to get picked. *gives you all the hugs, all of them*

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, I just have to do it. *shoves you* DUDE, DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE. You are the awesomest. This roadtrip just gets better and better. I didn't think it could be. *smishes you*

(Hey, I said I was sorry about the dude. And the shoving. But duuuude!)

[tmn1966.livejournal.com]

No need to apologize, I'm grinning from ear to ear right now!! :D

[bflyw.livejournal.com]

I just read this on my phone - I couldn't get the whole text. YAY - Roadtrip! So cool! OMG, that will be great! Lots and lots of pictures, okay!??!?!??!!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

I couldn't mention the roadtrip until I at least had arranged the flight. It's still a little unreal, but I have started the countdown to summer \o/ I will make loads of photos for sure;)

[ashtraythief.livejournal.com]

Roadtripping really is the best way ;)

Well, you'll def get JDM for fandomaid, we should talk abut what you want... after bigbang ;)

I saw that you got a fic from your first pick, congrats! Claims are indeed nervewrecking everytime *nods* I had to distract myself cleaning the bathroom :D

Also, to tide you over, while he's not part of a pairing, I have of course included a bit of JDM in my bb story. Can't write 20k+ words and not have JDM!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, I just saw the BB reveal, you were in my top 3, lady, and I WAS SO CLOSE TO CLAIMING YOU and then lightthesparks beat me to it. You were picked first, that is so awesome! You're gonna get great art and you deserve it.

Oh, I noticed your bossman JD, yes, yes I did. <3

Will think about what I want to happen to Jeff and Jensen;) BigBang first, woohoo!

[ashtraythief.livejournal.com]

I did a giant bounce when I saw the claims page for the first time. And I did notice you wanted me too and grinned wildly. And all the art will be awesome, all the art *dences wildly*

Yes, yes, bossman JD, he's there. Saltandpepper beard and all!

Yeah, bb first, but then JDM/Jensen porn shall happen. Unless, of course, someone where to create JDM/Jensen porn for the porn pile... *whistles innocently*
