caithreamAlright, SO, I didn't want say anything until it was a sure thing, but!! ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
idril_telrunya, flusteredspeech and myself are going on a 8 day roadtrip next month to Missoula, Montana, Seattle, Washington, VANCOUVER, BC, and Glacier National Park. LIKE, !!!!!!!!! HOLY SHIT, OKAY. ROADTRIP. I'VE BEEN WANTING TO DO ONE FOR SO LONG. IN MOUNTAINS AND BEAUTIFUL PLACES. Basically, our tentative plan is this:
- I fly into Salt Lake City (whereidril_telrunya lives) on the July 23rd.
- We leave bright and early on the 24th to drive up to Missoula, Montana whereflusteredspeech lives. Spend the day there, do amazing Montana things!
- Leave again bright and early the next morning for a 7-10 hour drive to Seattle, Washington. The easiest route would be to take I-90 and get there quicker, but we're gonna take I-2 instead, going the more scenic route. There's this town on the way called Leavenworth that's Bavarian and is apparently AMAZING, so we're gonna stop there too.
- Sometime that night arrive in Bellevue, where the amazingspazzbot lives, and crash at her place for a little.
- Go see Seattle and PIKE'S PLACE and the first STARBUCKS and EVERYTHING on the 26th and die everywhere because OMG.
- Leave for VANCOUVER on the morning of the 27th, TO SEE WHAT WE CAN SEE. So, okay, this is where I need you guys' help. I KNOW there is a community somewhere on LJ where people update with filming locations and where the SPN crew was last spotted. Does anyone remember what it's called? Also, if anyone has any info (or another community) of places where they've filmed past episodes (like the church in Houses of the Holy, or the bridge that Constance Welch haunted in the Pilot) that would be AWESOME. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to check out Burnaby, even though it's a closed studio and they don't let anyone in, heh. ANY and ALL information you could could help us with would be awesome!
- I THINK we'll leave on the night of the 28th, or maybe reeeeaaally early on the 29th. Drive and drive and DRIVE back east to Glacier National Park (half in Montana and half in Alberta) and sight see for a bit. Drive all the way back down south to dropflusteredspeech off, and then back to Salt Lake. I fly out on the 31st.
BUT, there is a slight problem.
Comic Con, and the Supernatural panel, is definitely on July 27th, the day we get into Vancouver. SIIIIIGH. Now, there's no official word yet that they boys are gonna be there, but isn't it just HILARIOUS that it happens to be that exact same day. So if we DO get offical word that they'll both be there, we're gonna have to step it up. Probably leave Missoula after a seven hour drive from Salt Lake a couple hours after we get there instead of hanging around the whole day and getting some rest. Another seven hour drive on that same day (well into night) to arrive in Bellevue, and then do Seattle on the 25th, leave that night to Vancouver. That way we'll have the 26th, 27th, and 28th to hang around Vancouver, and if both boys DO go, I would think they'd want to get in as much filming before they left and they'd be doing something on the 26th. I HOPE. I mean, our whole trip is NOT centered around stalking Jared and Jensen (OR IS IT??), it would just be the icing on the cake. So yeah. That'll most likely be our best bet.
BUT YES, if anyone could spare some helpful info about Vancouver, filming, or just things that we CANNOT miss (or should DEFINITELY miss) along I-2, Seattle, Vancouver, or Glacier, that would be awesome! I'm taking my hardcore huge camera, so there will be a LOT of pictures. And Chrissy is definitely thinking about buying a camcorder to film our lame asses, which might be HILARIOUS. Oh God I'm so excited. SO EXCITED. :D
In other news, if you have not tried Sabra hummus (Supremely Spicey, THANK YOU VERY MUCH) and triscuits, you have not yet reached enlightenment. So good flajsldjasd.

Date: 2008-06-22 04:09 am (UTC)It's sad that all I really want are more fandom tattoos, I just have to decide. OMG A DARK ANGEL BARCODE TATTOO IS AWESOME. And ahaha, I am a dork because I already have a LOTR tattoo! :D I want another, though.
I've only been to Vancouver a handful of times and never spent enough time there, so, the more time the better! :D
Parking in Seattle pretty much sucks all the time unless you're willing to pay for it. I am lazy and despite being poor, usually park in an expensive lot rather than far away and free, so, I dunno. It's just ... Seattle is all hills, and parallel street parking on a hill? check no!
Thursday would be totally awesome and okay! I am going to try and take like, Fri - Tuesday off from work, it should work out just fine. :D And also try and get my sister to watch my dog that weekend. Once I get that squared away I will be definite on the Vancouver thing, whee.

Date: 2008-06-22 04:20 am (UTC)DOESN'T THAT SOUND SO FREAKING COOL?!?! ESPECIALLY IF I GOT IT IN SEATTLE!?! I HAVE GOTTEN SO ADDICTED TO THAT SHOW ITS RETARDED! Ok. I decided. I am getting both the lotr one and the barcode. I don't even care. It will be AMAZING!
Parking does suck. I like your idea of parking at the Space Needle and taking the monorail. *nods* Lets do that for sure!

Date: 2008-06-22 04:29 am (UTC)I am retarded because I totally didn't even make the Dark Angel/Seattle connection at first, AHAHAHA. I know it's supposed to be in Seattle but I always forget because y'know, it's so not Seattle. LOL. YAY TATTOOS. I will seriously find out about good places for ya'll, and possibly get something myself, ahaha.
