| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Rugbytackling: An over enthusiastic fan launched herself at Jensen Ackles, apparently knocking him down. She was consequently escorted off the premises. However, Jensen took it in his stride and was only a little late for his panel, and was reportedly upset that the fan had been kicked out. (I personally was not).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Inopportune Questions: Jensen was asked about [[fanfiction]], and about gay subtext between the brothers. He said that it was 'ridiculous' (referring to the gay subtext and [[Wincest]]). He also admitted that [[Kim Manners]] had alerted he & Jared to the existence of Wincest.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Musician Jason Manns, who is also a friend of Jensen's, performed at one of the 'disco' evenings (Saturday night). At the end of the set, Jensen joined Jason on stage and they sang together briefly.
