#jared's cancelation

In this interview he also specifies that he's getting married in Mexico, so if that is why Jared can't go to the con that makes sense. I mean, I wouldn't expect him to make it even if it had been in Austin since the wedding is Sat 4/15 and most of his con stuff would have been Sun 4/16 but in theory he could have maybe left the wedding early and still made it. But if its in Mexico... there really isn't any way for him to get back. Of course this is all speculation.

It's just another possible reason to add to the pile! Especially since the cancelation was well in advance. And like @ranwing said here, haters can speculate all they want, but the real point is, Jared doesn't need the conventions. He was responsible in providing plenty of advance notice for the fans.

I know, right? Like, hellers and AAs think they're getting one-up on Jared fans, but really, those conventions can be more entertaining than the ones with Jared there. Plus, there's the added bonus that anyone planning to be mean towards Jared won't get that chance.

I for one am hoping the heller jerks who are gloating and celebrating get another face full of Misha’s BS blowing up in his face. Also, if there is another Jensen and Misha panel, I hope they are ready for Jensen to constantly burn Misha like he did last time. He basically spent the panel backing away from Misha or making fun of him. This is all only relevant if Jensen doesn’t cancel now that Jared has. I wouldn’t be surprised if he pulls out too since there is plenty of notice.

I’ve seen at least four people on Twitter already putting their NJ tickets up for sale or expressing that they won’t be buying tickets even though they had been planning to.

LOL! You're right about the panel. It was a complete mess. But of course, hellers and Cockles stans don't see that because they're wearing their blue/green glasses that turn every retreat into a "chance to gaze into each other's eyes."

I suppose there's a chance Jensen pulls out, but I also think he's kind of relying on the convention money to some extent. He even signed up to do the Cross Roads Con in England, which puts his Convention schedule at JIBcon the last weekend of February, Creation Atlanta the weekend after that, Cross Roads the next weekend, then two weekends off before Creation New Orleans. That's an awful lot of traveling that he wouldn't have to do if he didn't sign on for Cross Roads. If he's willing to do that, he'll probably do New Jersey.

Exactly! If the J2 cons are going to continue, I'd much prefer to see them drop to about once every two months at the most (much like TVD/Originals cons). These guys have moved on. They have different schedules, different work requirements, I think it's unreasonable to expect them to maintain such a demanding schedule.
