What happened guys? What happened between Asylum 2 and now?
We aren’t usually appalled easily, but what we heard now has just taken the last biscuit (or cookie?). We heard from the source, that 60 odd people have booked for tickets and didn’t pay yet! Why? What is wrong with you? You know, we don’t want to scare you, but we have our minion ways too – we aren’t tied to any side, nor good, nor evil and can get a manifesto of your names in a midnight operation facer-style and post it on here. We’re not into the name and shame game, but we are Buckets, and we will fight the good fight if the need arises! – and we are crazy, never forget that!
Remember a time when gay love saved the day, when in 2008 at least a 1000 people had booked tickets for Asylum 2 (Birmingham UK) for the chance to see Jared Padalecki ? Then, when Jared had to cancel to film a very bad movie (Friday 13th) some of you if not all felt like the earth had opened up to swallow you alive – but you had your tickets and you had to go. Then, when the 2 main Ghostfacers (Travis Wester & AJ Buckley) were added to the guest list, some of you maybe weren’t that impressed, but when they actually finally showed up (AJ came straight from the airport, remember?) and did their slow-mo walk on stage, you were mighty, MIGHTY impressed & entertained. Weren’t you?
And then, do you also remember the dedication of AJ & Travis as they were making up for lost time and signing EVERYBODIES booklets or stuff? What you didn’t see, was the exhaustion after the last person had left the autograph room, the sweat dripping off their foreheads and the sharpie marks all over their arms. What you also didn’t see, was a very tired Travis Wester jumping up from his chair and shake his head and tired arms (from writing over 1000 autographs) like a boxer before going back in the ring (in this case to go back on stage) – and what also some of you didn’t see was Travis & AJ hanging out behind the bar in the Hilton Lounge having a few drinks.
When you went to Asylum 3 this year to see Jared and Jensen, did you expect the same dedication from them? Yes, yes you did… but, the simple truth is: you didn’t get it. Jensen finished his signing prematurely and left some of you out in the rain. Some of you complained that you paid for this and you demanded and apology from Jensen! – Did you know how embarrassing that was for yourself to have a fit like that? So sad…
We have to admit, that sometime we don’t get fandom, but what we do get (and no one ever wants to admit to it), is that there’s a certain psychological factor behind the NEED of wanting to see Jensen, Jared & Misha, and it’s not an appreciation of their on-TV-talents only…you know what we mean!
Maybe the Ghostfacers don’t have the same appeal to you, but in 2008 when you saw Travis & AJ own the stage and cheered and screamed you cannot deny the sensual attraction you felt in their presence.
AJ Buckley has been promoted on CSI NY, did you even know that? And he is Irish! Come on! – In all honesty, we at the Buckets think Travis and AJ are way sexier and far more down to earth (you wanna hug people for your pictures? Well, you can! Just don’t try hug Jensen or Jared, hug a Facer instead) – so we, the Buckets, are more than honored to face the Ghostfacers at Hellhounds (Halloween Weekend, York, UK) and have the best best time of our lives!
If you want to meet with actors up close, this is your only once in a lifetime chance, and it’s an even greater chance than seeing an actual ghosts.
Don’t be a Facer Hater!

Kinda makes you wonder: If Rogue go broke on this one there won’t be any more contentions, so if these 60 people don’t up now, Fandom will blame them for it. I wouldn’t want that cross to bare!
Excellently said!!!
Loving these guys! Really hope to see you all in York, end of month!!! :D :D :D

Sadly the people that haven’t paid probably don’t care, if they did they would have at least let rogue known they couldn’t pay before now, these arn’t the few that have to pull out.
I really don’t think you can shame them but good on you for trying.
Fandom doesn’t deserve all the good things it gets, really dude, actors are PEOPLE and the whole treating them like trained monkeys really pisses me off. So, part of me is willing that other cons aren’t done in the future… (BOO-HOO), still makes me feel bad because some of you are truly awesome and deserve having a good time.
So, I think fandom should grow a brain and man up.
I will so be going to the Con if I can afford it…last minute & all that. I think the non payers should be banned from getting tickets in future, unless they pay up front. It could so totally ruin it for the rest of us addictees.
