So that was Jus in Bello!
Mar. 2nd, 2023 09:02 pmThis one was a long time coming!
Originally planned for May 2020, the pass was booked in Summer 2019. Five times postponed, there were times when all of us thought that it would never happen. But thanks to the perseverence of Daniela and the JIB team, it did.
There were a couple of last minute cancellations - Karl Urban was due to be there, but had to cry off, and Tom Ellis too, but Daniela managed to secure a couple late replacements, including Drake Rodgers and Jojo Fleites from 'The Winchesters'.
A few of us flew in a day early so that we could get a headstart on the socialising, and so on our first full day, four of us headed off to Ostia which is a ruined city which used to be Rome's main port. It was great wandering around and having a leisurely catch up before the madness of the next few days began!
The convention itself began on Thursday with JIBLand, the multi-fandom segment of JIB, and that was the day we first met Drake and Jojo. They quickly established themselves as two convention darlings, and have certainly made me want to go back and rewatch the Winchesters (I'm up to episode 6). Also on the first day we had the return of Ricky Whittle from American Gods, Alexander Vlahos from Versailles and David Ramsay from Arrow. We also knew that Ricky Whittle was a bit of a nutter who adores JIB, but paired with Alexander, who takes being a nutter to a whole new level, their panels were absolute hilarious bedlam.
Here are my Mugshots from the first couple of days
