PRANK ON MISHA ON ASYLUM EUROPE - A RECAP
When I first saw @vacouvernights announcing the Ellen prank to us, I thought it would never ever work in Germany... I don't know why (maybe because it wasn't that a big success in Australia)... I clearly underestimated the German Supernatural fans (I should have known better since I totally printed 20 of them myself to spread them under the not-twitter folks)
I wasn't even 5minutes in the hotel and in the registration area when I saw the first girls going around handing out Ellen pics and explaining it to everyone! That was the first time I actually thought that this could work.
Even more awesome? Even before the whole con officially started with the Opening Ceremony the most awesome @DougInman (THE person who kept this con going as smooth as possible) announced the prank and got the German girl responsable for it on stage to explain it to the whole audience - although most ppl already knew about it. It was stated clearly that the pics are supposed to be held up as soon as Misha steps onto the stage for his panel
So here is how it went:
Misha is announced. He steps up to the stage and immediately all the sheets are up in the air.
Misha's face is hilarious! A mixture between *EPIC FACEPALM* and *LOL*.
The audience starts cheering at his face and the words coming out of his mouth are
"SHE'S DEAD TO ME!" and even louder laughing follows.
"Holy shit!....actually...I think we need to take a picture of this and e-mail it to Ellen." *audience cheers*
"Who has a camera? No one has a camera?" *he takes camera from someone of the audience and makes several pics*
"Okay, we're gonna have to do a series...because you can't really tell what... *unidentified mumbling w/o microfone*
"...close up now" *goes closer to the audiance and does some pics from short distance.
"*mumbling* on the show"
Then he gave the cam back and the normal panel started by him asking "What's happening?"
SO, that's it, and it was a great start for the panel - making everyone more relaxed and the tension was gone
