Whew! Just got back from two days away, got out of the shower, grabbed a glass of red wine, and here I am. Cheers! How goes it, all?

Been a while and a rather crazy time, i might add. Where shall i start? Don't know how much you know so i'll give the abridged version.....you can ask questions if i don't cover it.

Regina shoot was great. The crew were wonderful and i rather like Regina. It is kind of small town Canada and the weather is HARSH for a little spoiled West Coast gal like me. Winter's are minus 40, summer's are plus 40, and it is flat as a pancake. Prairies. One day it was 6 below and the next it was 25 degrees. Threw you system off a bit. They were long days and not always that organized but i had a great time and met some wonderful people. The role was quite a departure for me: I played a gay midwife in love with a pregnant woman who gives birth to a devil child...kind of. Should be interesting.

Then it was off to Asylum. This is my first real opportunity to say thanks to everyone for coming and making it a wonderful experience. Now i can put some of the names on this blog to the faces i met. I seem to remember pretty much everyone i met....the 8 Haley's, all the Jen's, like 4 Charlottes, the girls from France, Germany and Sweden......not to mention the French and of course, the Brits! It all happened very fast and didn't get to spend too much time with anyone but i really do remember most everyone. And i could tell you every man's name because there weren't many of them! Chad and i were talking about it.....we felt bad that we were so tired but we held it together as best we could....hope you all had a good time. We did. And thank you for the lovely presents! We drank the Vodka before we left!....and the chocolate was long gone....and the handmade gifts alway move me that people go to such effort.
Needless to say, that by sunday night we were beyond exhausted and i almost missed my flight the next day because i slept for almost 15 hours without so much as a stir. The organizers took very good care of us. We were spoiled.

Now i am back and forth to Vancouver Island shooting a 4 part miniseries called "Impact"....a lot of you already know this, but for those of you who don't.... It is going really well. The cast are fantastic;David James Elliot from Jag, Natasha Henstridge, James Cromwell...and a british actor who i have a massive crush on but won't give me the time of day! Cheeky bastard. Ben Sadler? I think his name is....not sure....anyway, he's hot....he's my type....and he will have nothing to do with me. Hmph. Maybe doesn't like Canadian women? I am a bit forceful and in your face....perhaps he doesn't like the 'butt kicking, broad' stuff? The director is a lovely man names Mike Rohl. I have worked with him before many years ago on Second Wave. I am very fortunate to have this work...these are one of those shoots you cherish and are sad to leave when they are over.

I am having a wonderful time and can't complain in the least but you know what? I miss my home! I miss my cat! I miss my life! I am living out of a suitcase and have been forever, or so it seems. I love hotels but sometimes you want your own bed. I cannot get anything done because i keep taking off... my friends are close to disowning me....i haven't seen my brother, whom i adore, in two months.....and from all the traveling i have lost my favorite watch (favorite because it was stupidly expensive) 2 pairs of sunglasses, a complete bag of makeup, my running shoe, contact lense cases and a hairclip that i got from a fan who came all the way from Japan to the Chicago convention in November. Eyecon. Who loses that much stuff when you are travelling??!!

Anyway, more than anything i am tired and want a little 'me' time. I want to putter around in my garden with my cat at my heels, a cold beer in my hand, some great music on the go....and maybe a hot guy to help me.....maybe mister 'don't like the Canadian actress and won't give her the time of day' guy?? Perhaps i'll throw that out to him the next time i see him.

Speaking of my cat, Kramer is well. A few of you asked about him and i am happy to say he is alive and well sitting on my lap as we speak. He is not letting my out of his sight right now as i keep taking off. It kills me to leave but what are you going to do? I live for the animals in my life....i am a big supporter of many animal charities and i volunteer at an horse rescue society a couple of hours a week. We had to put down one of my fave horses last week and i cried like a baby. The actual putting down of a horse is very humane but a bit extreme and jarring for me......don't need too many of those.

Okay, i really have rambled here...i could go on but i won't....time for bed soon. Trying to get into this book "god of small things" and i just can't seem to get on board...going to try again...with Kramer under my arm.

Talk soon.

xo

PS.....Sorry, out of time for the dishing on Dallas...it isn't really a 'dish' so much as maybe a misunderstanding but i am very disappointed in Creation. I feel they have not handled things well on a number of occasions with me and i'm sorry to see it. I love to do the conventions but i don't think i will be back at another Creation convention. Shadow, i'm sorry....that sucks....we'll meet at another one. I'll tell guys more about it later.

Oh Sam I am sorry you wont be in Chicago this November. I missed you the last time. I cant hardly say I blame you, among many fans, we are kinda disenchanted with the whole "Creation" experience. I am sure thankful you do the conventions, its always nice to see our favorites and be able to actually tell them face to face 'thank you' for the work you do.

I hope you can do Eyecon later this year. I look forward to meeting you then.
By Roxanne Mackenzie @ 25 May 2008 11:07 pm

Hey, Samantha! I'm so glad you had a fun time at Asylum. I wish I could've been there, it sounded like it was a blast!

It seems like you've been working yourself to the bone, I hope you find some time to relax and enjoy yourself soon. But I'll be anxiously awaiting the release of your new projects.

As for Creation...I've hated them for quite a while now. I've never liked how they run their conventions, and I've already vowed not to go to another one, no matter how tempting it is. But I'm so sorry that they've done something to upset you. It's pretty bad when they're even turning off the guests to coming back. I hope maybe you'll be able to make it to some other cons in the future where everyone is treated much better. Like EyeCon maybe?? ;)

Take care!

-Laurel
By Laurel @ 25 May 2008 11:27 pm

Wow you have been busy!

What was the name of the thing you were shooting in Regina? I know you told as at Asylum but I have amemory like a sieve!

Glad you enjoyed Asylum. I had a great time. It was great being a man at Asylum because as you say there weren't many of us!

Hope you manage to get some time alone (or with hot man!) in the garden soon.

Take Care

Glenn
By Glenn @ 26 May 2008 12:57 am

Hey Sam, glad to hear from you! Sounds like you really really deserve some down time to relax! I'm glad you enjoyed your Asylum experience...I certainly did! I only hope you can come back and visit England again :)
As already said, Creation is certainly annoying, and I'm sorry that they didn't treat you properly.
I'm also sorry about the horse. Putting down an animal, however humane, is always really really difficult. Thankfully Kramer seems fine!
Glad to hear you're having fun shooting 'Impact'! I can't wait to see it...
Take care (and I hope the book seems more interesting!)

By Alyssa @ 26 May 2008 01:27 am

Sam, any word on if you'll be back on BSG?

Your buddies with Aaron, right?
Let him know (bigtime) how much ass he's kicking.
The Chief and Helo are the only characters to hold onto their moral centers through out the series.
Everyone else has been up and down.
I haven't seen any Aaron interviews since his char found out he's a Cylon.
The whole BSG crew (writers, Directors, Actors, everyone involved) is doing a wicked good job.
But Aaron is really bringing it home.
By Trik_Ster @ 26 May 2008 01:27 am

Hey Sam. Wow, you really have been run off your feet. I'm glad the work is fulfilling though, it would be worse if you hated what you were working on.

Mr "I don't like Canadian women" sounds lucious...I just looked him up...he's born in Toronto lol. I think the problem probably is that he's married, rather than that he doesnt fancy you. Maybe he's just scared that if he does look at you, he'll be overwhelmed.

Anyway, I know from a fan point of view we really appreciated the effort you put in at Asylum to give every one of us a memorable meeting with you, especially considering how exhausted you must have been. For me personally it was an absolute pleasure to finally get to meet you and I hope to do it again sometime.

I do understand the need for 'me' time. I've had an incredibly busy month or so and this weekend is the first time I've had a chance to do absolutely nothing. I've lain around, slept loads, opened a bottle of wine, caught up with lots of the shows I've been behind on and it's been awesome. I'd quite like a hot man to give me a back rub (or mow the lawn) but right now just being on my own is bliss. Enjoy your 'me' time too.

I've never done a convention in the States, but I've heard lots of stories about Creation and they don't impress me at all. I'm considering maybe doing Eyecon if Jared can't get his tight butt over here to Asylum next year.

take care

By Janine @ 26 May 2008 02:02 am

Hi Sam

My daughter, Joelle, was one of the many fans you 'wow-ed' at Asylum, she and her friends appreciated how tired you must have been but they were all impressed at how friendly you all were ...and is still talking about it. I can't complain as It was I that introduced her to Supernatural (also great to see you in 4400 too btw) and she was thoughtful enough to get one of your photo's signed for my birthday too!! (Which is today, ain't she a good girl?!) and thank you too.
Enjoy your chill time in the garden with Kramer and thanks again for my daughters memories that she'll treasure, some stuff you just can't buy :-)

Take care

Martin
By Martin @ 26 May 2008 04:21 am

Hey Sam,

Wow are you busy! After all of that any could understand the want to kick back. I'm glad Asylum was fun for you though. Everyone that I talked to who went had such an amazing time.

And I'm sorry about Creation. You're always welcome at Eyecon. It would be cool to see you again.


Take care,
Lani
By Lani @ 26 May 2008 05:30 am

Hi Sam,

glad to here from you! Can´t wait to see the movie with you and David J. Elliot. He was my big hero when I was 10. You wanna bet we will see the movie here in Germany in what 4 maybe 5 years;).
I am sorry about Creation, especially because you are great with your fans! And I am sure they will miss something! I hope we will see you in europe again!

take care
Melanie
By Melanie @ 26 May 2008 06:27 am

Hey, Sam. Sounds like things are going alone really well (if a bit hectic). Nice to hear from you again! One of these days I'll have to force myself into going to a convention so I can meet you...
By Coweh @ 26 May 2008 09:30 am

Glad to hear you are well, Sam! I've heard many fun stories about Asylum...I can only afford one trip overseas this year and unfortunately that wasn't it...wish I could have gone, though!!

And more than anything I'm suuuuper happy Kramer is doing okay!! unfortunately my lil' kitty Tiggy is not. I left two Mondays ago to California and came back last week and she went from super-hyper cat to "I haven't eaten/pooped since a week ago and I've lost 3 lbs since you left". O_O Yeah, she has terminal cancer. It's super hard 'cause seriously, just two weeks ago she was just so full of energy and would chase any toy across the house and eat like a pig...it's just so weird. She seems to be okay though she's gettin' weaker. She's fightin', though. And I'm not putting her down if she's fighting...((really I don't think I could put her down period >_O!))

Anyways, sorry about Dallas...I've heard things and such...that sucks. Will you been attending Eyecon in September, though? *__*!! hahah!!

Take care of yourself, Sam. Have a great week!!
By Marcie ((DLGR)) @ 26 May 2008 09:33 am

Sam! Glad to hear from you! Glad the shoot is going well! Wow you've been busy! Aw, I really don't like it when I lose important things either... Tell me about it... I almost lost my sunglasses last month... I'm glad you've made some time to let us know what you're up to! Wow, Regina sounds like all the flat prairie states here in the U.S. Bet they get tornadoes there too huh? In the summer at least since you said it was so hot... I'm hoping next year, when I save up more money, that I get to meet you at a convention... Anywho, I'm glad you updated, and take a few days for yourself now that your home... If you can... As always wishing you the best in all your projects! Thanks for keeping us updated! Take care of yourself! Okay...

Ya me voy,

~Melissa~
By Melissa @ 26 May 2008 09:48 am

Hey Sam,

I'm so sorry to hear about Creation. I finally got the courage and money to buy a ticket for the LA Con next year in March. I was hoping to see you there again. I loved your stage talks at Asylum so much. I do hope that there will be an opportunity to see you again though.

Chevy
By Chevy @ 26 May 2008 10:05 am

Wow, 40 degree’s sounds so nice! This morning when I went to work at 3 am it was already over 90 degree’s here, The movie sounds… um… interesting, in a freakishly scary kind of way.
sounds like you had a blast at the Asylum Convention. unfortunately it’s a bit to far for me.

About that Cheeky Bastard? He’s probably not worth your time anyway! Use him for eye candy and find a real man who’s worth the time and effort!

I’m glad your having fun but don’t forget about that “me” time. It’s just as important as getting out there and doing what you do best. You entertain us so well, just remember that sometimes you need to be entertained too. *hold up shot glass of Crown Royal” Here’ s to down time where you can just veg out to your hearts content.

Glad to hear Kramer is doing well and sorry about the horse. My family volunteers and fosters animals from the local shelter. We’ve always got a few extra dogs running around! Friday’s are always horrible because it’s the day they put down the animals they can’t keep in the shelter. Unfortunately they take in 3000 a week and only adopt out 50 -100. So many have to be put down its so terrible.

Don’t worry about the Dallas convention, if all goes well I’ll get a chance to meet you at one of the Eyecon’s.

Take care, have fun and remember you “Me time”!

Shadow.
By shadow @ 26 May 2008 01:15 pm

Sorry to hear about your horse sweetie.

You need some time to yourself. Hope you get some "me" time soon.

Sorry about November! Would have loved to see you again! Maybe will see you at Eyecon in September?

Love your Q&A's! You are an awesome person!

Hugs!
By Kaye @ 26 May 2008 03:21 pm

Hey Sam,
Sorry to hear about your stuff with creation. I'm glad I got to hang with you at the last creation con in Chicago, and at eyecon in Florida. You are a fun gal.
That guy that won't give you the time of day doesn't know what he is missing.
Glad to hear you are chilling with a glass of wine and your little Kramer. Traveling does beat the hell out of you. It is nice to take a break once in a while.

Hope to see you again. Maybe at the next eyecon?
I'm a big wine drinker myself.
Let me know your favorite and I'll bring you a bottle.
By Lisa Melnick @ 26 May 2008 04:22 pm

Sam! It was an awesome convention in England... I had a few issues with it myself, but trust me, none of them were with you. Thanks for taking the time to chat with me when you were having lunch though... it meant a lot. I actually managed to make your panel with Chad. That one was just too much fun. Fortunately, I wasn't going to be able to make Dallas, but if you manage to make Eyecon in September, than it's all better!

I'm glad hearing that your filming's going well. Can't wait to read your next update!
By Rich @ 26 May 2008 06:13 pm

First time posting, just wanted to say I've enjoyed everything we have seen you in....so sorry you won't be there at dallas ~ my 5 year old is going to be quite upset, she had a page in her autograph album all ready for you.

Good luck with your upcoming miniseries.
By Cass @ 26 May 2008 07:48 pm

Sam,

I'm so sorry to hear of the misunderstanding that occurred between you and Creation, but as a Creation volunteer, I do have to speak up against the grain and say that I hope you won't judge us too harshly. Every time I see the company slammed -- not that you personally slammed us, but some of your readers sure seemed to enjoy kicking us in the jewels -- I think of how hard we work and how far Creation (and our guests!) has gone to express their gratitude towards us ... and I guess I just wish everyone could have the experiences I've had with Creation. There's a difference between making mistakes and being evil personifed, and I did not interpret what you wrote here as an open invitation to your readers to take shots at us. I wonder what gives.

At any rate, I'm also disappointed -- I was looking forward to working with you in the future. But as you said, there's still Eyecon, and if they're ever in need of my services, maybe I'll run into you there.

Best,
Carrie
By Carrie @ 26 May 2008 08:08 pm

Hey Sam ~

It sounds like you've been enjoying your work and adventures, but good lord, woman, I hope you get some time to potter in your garden and stuff! You've been on the go so much it's a wonder you remember your own name. Well, enjoy the down time you do have, and don't forget to treat yourself to bubbles baths and beer, or whatever makes you feel special. ;-)

Gah, and that sucks about your horse friend. It's just ... hard. *hugs you*

Last but not least, I'm real sorry to hear about things going awry with Creation. I'll just hope to see you again sometime at EyeCon. :-) Take care, and glad that you're working, even if it's making you a stranger to your own house! *scritches Kramer on the way out*

~ Gloria
By Gloria / Erin @ 26 May 2008 11:10 pm

I know exactly what you mean about Creation! They contacted me about John's Truck and then never closed the loop. Oh well, what're ya gonna do?

Yep, the stuff I loose always seems to be something I can't replace easily, either, like camera cords. Arg.

I'm glad things are going well (stuck up, hot guys notwithstanding) and I hope you get to go home and play in the weeds, I mean garden, really soon!
By Karina @ 27 May 2008 09:18 am

I should clarify for you here, Carrie....this is certainly no attack on the volunteers...i know the long hours and hard work you put in and i respect you all greatly put in.....my frustration is with the guys putting it in. I find there antics a bit slimy and not 'above board', I'm afraid. Can't speak for the other guests, but after the convention in Chicago (which we rocked at) i was told that i would not be invited back because they heard me say on stage that i was a bartender in the past and they thought that was a little too 'working class' for a guest on their stage. Then they invited me last minute to LA and renegged for reasons that weren't clear. For the Dallas convention, we had a deal, they promoted my appearance and then backed out on a couple of details. So we had to bail out. So you can understand my frustration, right? LOVE the volunteers at conventions...it would never happen without them and they do it all for no money. My hats off to them all.....but the boys at the top need to check their 'decency meter'.....cause it's a bit low.
Wow. Said it wasn't going to dish...and there i did. kinda felt good...in a mean, slightly bitchy kinda way......but its all true and i stand by every word.
By sam ferris @ 27 May 2008 10:15 am

Sam,

Glad you've finally got some down time with Kramer and a nice glass of vino. You've certainly earned it, holy cow you're one busy lady!

Thank you so much for coming to Asylum. It was lovely to meet you. I'm kinda shy so didn't really say much but we were the ones that did the hokey pokey in the photoshoot with you and Chad. It came out great, my fav from the weekend. You gave the tiredness a great ass kicking too. We were impressed with how hardcore you guys were.

As for kitty, I don't know how you cope. I left Millie for that one weekend and she's only just beginning to forgive me. Man I miss her when we're apart. They're like special furry people :o)

As for Benjamin Sadler *waves hand* pah, his loss sweetie. You are one sexy mama!

Wishing you enjoyable home time (and a hot gardener)!

Hi Sam,

I am so sorry to hear about the disgraceful way that Creation have treated you. I was in Chicago for the first SPN Creation con and swore I would never go to another of their cons. Not only did they treat Nicky Brendan like he was something they stepped in but they were part of the fake green beret debacle, for which they have never issued a statement and do not seem in the slightest sorry for embarrassing the boys in front of so many fans! I have met you twice now(I'm one of the Irish girls that you met in Chicago and Orlando) and you have been amazing both times, taking the time to talk to all of us and making us feel like friends. I feel just terrible for you and I have no idea what gives them the right to say shit like that.

It is totally their loss Sam and I hope to see you at an Eyecon convention in the future.

Until then, take care and keep practising drawing those pints of Guinness and Shamrock. Next time you'll be drawing both haha

Deexxxx
By Dee @ 27 May 2008 03:41 pm

Sam,

I am totally boggling at the idea of you being told you're too working class to be a convention guest. Ummm, not to point out the obvious, but do the Creation folks think Jared and Jensen are Yale drama graduates or something? I don't know what Jensen used to do for work in his youth other than modeling, but Jared used to be a ranch hand!! As in, spending his days sweaty, digging fencepost holes, shoveling cow and horse stalls. It doesn't get much more "working class" than that.

And, are they aware that 90% of the actors on their stage probably at some point tended bar, waited tables, etc? I mean, they don't just all come to LA and fall into acting jobs two seconds later! I think the real challenge would be finding a working actor in LA who never has waited tables or tended bar!

For the record, I met you both at Chicago last year, and Eyecon this year, and you were a fantastic guest both times! Hope to see you at Eyecon again this year.
By Shannen @ 27 May 2008 03:47 pm

Sam,

You ROCK! I have heard nothing but awesome things about you from the begining...and the two times I saw you in person (first in chicago and then in orlando) you were awesome!

I mean in Orland, after Eyecon, me and my friends where grabbing something to eat at the foodcourt, you stopped in for something and we were all "oh there's Samantha, hehehehehe" but we didnt want to bug you outside the con....you said hello to us...which was really freaking cool!

I hope to get to see you at Eyecon again....thats the kind of con you fit in at...its much more your style!

As for the working class bit...I may be a recent college grad..but my papa (grnadfather) used to drive bus and worked as a janitor...Im damn proud of his hard work and gained a lot of my values from him because of his life experiences....and lerned to appreciate what I had....creation not wanting you back because of what you've done in the past is not winning them any fans!
By Melissa @ 27 May 2008 04:43 pm

Hey Sam,
Wow, ou you had been busy work and traveled. I know you might be tired and need break from everything. I think you need vacation. HAHAHA!

I am so sorry about what happen with creation convention. I noticed that Creation Convention is not great because there are limit events and expensive to pay for this events. It not worth it. EYECON IS THE BEST! I hope you can come back in EYECON Convention again. I would love to see you again.

And also I am sorry about your beloved horse. I know it might be hard for you. I am glad that kramar doing well and still alive. It's mircale.

I did helped my mom garden and it was enjoyed it. Anyway, I hope you okay and take easy.

oxox & hugs,
Elisa
By Elisa @ 27 May 2008 05:02 pm

Sam,
I think you are a truly remarkable woman who sticks to her guns and stands up for what she believes in and when it comes down to it, isn't that what is most important? You know your fans love and support you, no matter what and we appreciate how honest you are with us. Not too sound to 1986 but YOU GO GIRL!
By Meg @ 27 May 2008 05:21 pm

Sam,

Some people were born with the utmost class (most definitely you!) and some people were born without the c-l- (and unfortunately we're forced to be in the same space as them at times).

Thank you for sharing your words and for being a kick-ass gal.
By Theresa! @ 27 May 2008 05:33 pm

I'm terribly sorry that Creation shafted you; I don't know what happened to them since the early 90's (when I did Trek cons), but they've DEFINITELY changed for the worse.

I can honestly say that you're both a Lady and a KICK-ASS Gal, and I'm glad to have met you in both Chicago and Orlando. I look forward to seeing you in your upcoming projects.

ps: "gay midwife in love with a pregnant woman who gives birth to a devil child...kind of."

Are you getting projects from Jensen's agent? Devour: the New Generation
(^_^)
Just kidding - it actually sounds pretty interesting (I'm a PSY major)
By isisfrog @ 27 May 2008 05:41 pm

Sam, thanks for the clarification, although I was reasonably sure that your problem could not have been with the volunteers ... that having been said, I completely hear and respect your beef and next time I see you, we'll talk. :) Best, Carrie
By Carrie @ 27 May 2008 06:36 pm

Hi Sam!

First off, I really want to say how great it was seeing you again at Asylum! I'm sure you were jetlagged and it was crazy hectic the entire weekend, but I love that it seemed like we all got a bit of time to talk with you. You're such a blast at conventions! My group photo op where you're giving me bunny ears, and tried to get everyone else to do something funny, is my absolute favorite now! :)

And secondly, I'm incredibly sorry about how Creation handled things and treated you - that's complete BS and I'm so upset that they told you that! Like none of the other actors that Creation gets has had "working class" jobs just to get a paycheck? That's ridiculous!

Anyway, I hope we get to see you again at other conventions, hopefully EyeCon?

Good luck with filming Impact and I hope you'll get some home/relax time soon! :)

Take care,
Rachel
By Rachel @ 27 May 2008 06:52 pm

Sam,

I too am a volunteer for the Creation conventions and I am completely shocked that you were treated in such a way! As much as I would love to work with you, I can completely understand why you wouldn't want to come to another con put on by Creation. Hopefully someday I can make it to a different con to meet you! I sincerely wish you the best and enjoy your time with your cat : )
By Alexa @ 27 May 2008 07:51 pm

*they thought that was a little too 'working class' for a guest on their stage.*

Dear Sam ~

That right there? Has me so freaking furious I'm almost in tears. Those *bastards*! Too working class? Like that's a *bad* thing? Who in everlovin' hell do they think scrimps and saves their hard-earned dollars to come to their freakin' events?

Those sons of bitches. *I* am working class, Creation, and damned proud of it. I clean stalls, swab kennels, and train dogs and horses for a living. My family since the days of the covered wagons have been freakin' working stiffs (with one preacher in the mix), and I'm as blue-collar as they come. I love Dean Winchester because he's every cowboy/miner/logger/fisherman/mechanic/backhoe-operator I've ever met. Those guys may have mouths full of malarky, but their hearts are pure gold, and so are their women. Working class. *snorts*

Honey, if you should come to EyeCon, I may have a T-shirt for you. ;-) Stand your ground, lady. You've so much more class than they.
Cheers ~

Gloria aka Erin
working class to the bone
By Gloria @ 27 May 2008 08:15 pm

That kinda sucks about the way Creation treated you!! "a little too 'working class' for a guest on their stage." that's so laughable to me... seriously? That made me roll my eyes so hard I almost popped them out of socket!!
By Tomara @ 27 May 2008 11:23 pm

You have got to be kidding me! Too working class?? Yes, how on earth would the fans of Supernatural relate to a working class person? Perhaps there is another series out there called Supernatural which deals with monarchs and tycoons...? Because that is one pretty damn inane excuse on their part.

This is reprehensible. I've heard horror stories about fan treatment at various Creation events in the past (which, I stress, was just hearsay at that point). But how fantastic to see them extend that to guests as well. *sarcasm* I'm sorry they treated you so poorly. They clearly do not know what they're missing.

Keep on being your badass self. And good luck with the British bloke!
By Beth @ 27 May 2008 11:34 pm

Hi Sam, firstly a big big big thank you for such an awesome time at Asylum. Thank you so much for coming and for being so wonderful when you must have been shattered! You are made of awesome.
Yay for being busy, but I can imagine it's hard to be away from home so much.

Oh and to be away from your beloved Kramer...I go away for a couple of days and I'm pining away for my beloved Beagle, William (who yes completely owns me!). I'm off to the States in September for two weeks and I have no idea how either of us is going to survive. Give Kramer and extra cuddle from me.

As for Creation...I'm gobsmacked. Too 'working class', who do they think attend their cons? The upper class? Unbelievable! I've heard quite a few negative things about Creation, this has to be the worst kind of insult ever...I'm in the UK, so would never be able to do a Creation con (even if I wanted to), because I am working class and cant afford their prices! But if I could, I still wouldn't go to one of their cons, not after this...Just well... FRAK 'em!

You are pure class! *hugs*

Hey Sam,

Wow! you've been a busy girl. i'm really glad that you had a great time at Asylum. i was supposed to go but i couldn't make it. I'm really looking forward to meeting you one day..

I need some Samantha time ;D

I"m glad that you're working on so many great projects and as for the guy....if he's smart, he'll pick ya up :D

Say hi to Kramer for me ;D

On a side note: i personally do not like Creation and after having heard what they did to you i will never attend one of their conventions.

It's just so rude of them. i can't believe someone would do that.

Working class is not a bad thing and i for one love that you were a bartender. It's freaking awesome that you had a job before breaking into the industry. most actors do, i wonder if they'd say it to a guy? they probably wouldn't dare.

Sorry, got a little rambly

I hope that everything is well and that you get to be in your bed soon *gotta love bed ;D*

XOXOXOXO

All the best

Sam,

Followed a link over from a livejournal that posted your comments and came here to say personally to you how sorry I am that Creation doesn't want you back as a guest for their conventions.

Seems you are in good company with a few other actors they have asked not to return so don't feel like you are the first one.

Come to other conventions because fans like myself really want to see you and say hey

Hi Sam,

I've been to a Creation Convention, a LONG time ago, and I saw how they ran things. I won't ever go to one of their cons again. All they want is our money and they don't care about the fans OR the celebs that appear at the cons. It's ridiculous. You're a wonderful woman, and Creation is TRASH!

Keep on keeping on!

Sam,

I love Ellen. I miss Ellen. You come across as a great lady and someone I'd love to meet. I didn't even know you had a blog until a friend of mine (who is also a Supernatural fan) mentioned it. I've since added it to my bookmarked list.

We need to get you to DragonCon here in Atlanta. If you get a chance, talk to Aaron Douglas about Dragoncon.

As for Creation, unfortunately the volunteers get a bad rap because of the unprofessionalism of the higher ups who actually make the decisions. I've yet to hear a good thing about Creation from the people I trust.

Look forward to seeing more of Ellen in season 4!

P.S.
Hey, Sam, I know we're all ranting here, and I hope it doesn't make you uncomfortable ... But it's sort of a case of, "Don't dis our homegirl." *g* Or maybe a case of, "Don't you freakin' screw with my family." Either way, it's not so much we look for excuses to bash Creation, it's that they've repeatedly behaved in disappointing ways - and we are their consumers. This? Was just icing on the cake.
Hmph. *grumbles and goes for more coffee*

Hello Sam! So wonderful to see you so busy... it means we have that many more projects to see you in! You were such a wonderful & positive addition to the world of SN and you are very missed.

I'm truly saddened by your experience with Creation and the excuse given to you. I attended my first-ever Con associated to a TV show with the LA Con in March. My experience as a fan was very positive. I'm sorry that you won't be at a Creation event because this means that I will most likely never meet you since I can't get to Florida for EyeCon. :(((

Wishing you continued success!

SAM!!!
So good to hear from you. I've been quite busy myself lately and haven't been able to track your blogs. But to read that you're well, Kramer is well and you are having fun doing your "non working-class" job is great news!!

Glad you had a good time in Asylum even if it was a bit tiring... Jim said the same thing... I'm starting to wonder what they did to you!! LOL!!
As for Creation... I think I don't have to add anything else, it's all been said already. I left the Chicago one promising I would never step foot in one of their events again (even if u were all great and I had awesome fun - it just made me feel like a piece of meat). I did later sign up again for Chicago again since 15 of my online friends were going and some coming from really far. I am going for them but am seriously thinking about selling my ticket. I don't want to give them my $$!! (it's the 3rd time they mess big time, I'd say that's enough) I'd rather give it to Kenny at Eyecon2...3...4!!! So like everyone, I hope to see you there. It's way more fun in every aspect. (hope it was for you too even if u lost a pair of shoes there) We already asked Kenny to have u back so now I'm crossing my fingers he can afford you!!

Good luck with your shooting. Have fun and enjoy your Home/Me time with Kramer!!

Well holy bloody crap lol!! How busy have you been? And what a bunch of tossers (can I say tossers?) Creation are....

I for one had a blast at Asylum and reading other peoples reports, I reckon pretty much everyone had a blast and we didn't have one Winchester there.

It was fab to see you again, and damn you looked good considering you had literally just flown in. Made me laugh to see all the bottles of alcohol on your table when you were signing autographs when the others had biscuits and stuff...think that says something about you Sam lol!

This Brit went home a very happy bunny from Asylum, and I've got memories that I will cherish....

Take it easy chicken, have some rest time, enjoy Kramer, see your bro...and chill.

Hey gang,

I'm an old pal of Sam's from back in our radio/local television days, hadn't seen Sam in a couple months cause of crazy schedules - anyhow, she was here last night for too much wine, and showed me this site! Very cool!

Anyway - I'm posting this 'cause she told me what a great time she had in England, and how great it was to meet Kim! (where are you Kim??!)

Anyway - I'm going to go wring out my liver now!

Best wishes,

Sarah D.

PS - Kramer is doing fine!
By Sarah @ 02 Jun 2008 04:40 pm

I was looking forward to seeing you in Dallas. I'm sorry to hear Creation screwed things up. I know many other conventions that went sour because of that company. Maybe I'll get to see you some other time. Congrats on all the great work. I look forward to the new mini-series and hope that Supernatural brings you back in Season 4. The third season just wasn't the same without Ellen.
By Dawn L. @ 03 Jun 2008 01:29 am

ha! that is my best buddy sarah....and yes, WAY TOO much wine last night.....you guys would love her...she makes me look like a quiet little doormouse......trust me.....and the woman has 5 dogs! All shelter saves......my hats off to her,.....when i am in town we do sunday night bevvies at her place....and i am not allowed to drive home. Maybe one day you'll get a chance to meet her...she makes my dark days a bit brighter.

Hi Sam. I have to agree with one of the other posters here when I say reading about how Creation treated you and what they said has me so PO'd I too am almost in tears. I met you for the first time (my first ever Con) in Chicago. I had a good time as I got you meet you and see both the boys HOWEVER I didn't like the way we fans were treated and was livid when I found out how Nicky Brendon was treated. Even though I know my biggest chance of ever seeing Jensen again is at a Creation event I had and still have no desire to attend one. I had honor of meeting you again at Eyecon and agree Kenny and Voni did an awesome job. I'm doing everything in my power to be at the next one in September and I'd love it if you signed on as a guest. (I had to say when I bought my ticket for the first one I told everyone I knew that having you sign on would be the icing on the cake and it was the next day they announced you signed)

I'm glad to hear Kramer is doing well and I look forward to seeing you in anything new you do (and will always 'hope' that Kripke remembers what a catch he has in Ellen and brings you back next season)
*Hugs*
