HAIL TO THE KING BABY!!!


So eager to see what Jensen wears for his time as Bacchus. The video of the police escort and Jensen’s first appearance with the subsequent interview. He is clearly so excited to have been chosen. I loved the part of the vid where JJ is following Jensen’s example of throwing the coins and one falls back and hits her on the little punkin head. Does she cry? Not Daddy’s girl! After the initial reaction of surprise she laughed to herself! So cute. Nice to see Jensen’s family and friends there to enjoy it along with him.

I must have missed this, is Jensen working on another project besides SPN?
I found this link on face-book but didn't see that moment must have must it. Why is he throwing coins?
The crowd clearly love Jensen.
Not sure about that band, in parts music seems off? Maybe because its in a small tight area.
I was surprised that Danneel wasn't close by Jensen when he went through the revolving doors?
No Jared??

It’s part of Mardi Gra. I believe the parade is the night prior to. It’s a long going tradition. Each year someone is picked to be the Bacchus King. Each year there’s a theme. This one has to do with movies and tv shows that have filmed in Louisiana? tho I don’t get exactly where Jensen fits in that. I think Danneel and Holly the PR person for CW? may have somewhat elevated him for consideration tho only the people who run the Krewe of Bacchus know how a King is chosen. The King rides in the main float that leads the parade. We are talking huge floats. Various bands play music. People watch the parade and catch the goods that are thrown by members of the Krewe. The King throws coins (necklaces, toys...are thrown from the floats as well tho I don’t know if the King throws anything else but the coins with his image on it.). It’s an honor to be chosen. The King comes up with his own royal wardrobe. The King can choose to have his wife (family?) ride along in his float or they follow behind in the next. Danneel was there. She got off the bus along with JJ and her mom and dad and Gino, Steve and other friends. They were just following behind a bit. The focus is mainly on the King. And a sexy King he is!

Yes, because Supernatural isn't filmed there its filmed in Canada so it must have been a push by Danneel and Co? It could be the TV element rather than the film side that he's been chosen. Its interesting that he got the gig and he loves to respond to people and be in the crowds when you think how shy he used to be? I would think there must be some panel on a committee somewhere who chose the candidate? Might be a ballot by the public also?

What an awesome King Bacchus Jensen was. Absolutely gorgeous too. Of course. Once in a lifetime opportunity and it looked like he loved every minute of it.

Who blocked them? They are on multiple websites. Pictures, instas, videos...

I’m curious if we will ever hear any feedback from the people who run the Bacchus Krewe as to how Jensen was accepted. There was one live feed where these two older guys were rather insulting and dismissive of him. They didn’t know who he was and never bothered to do their job to find out. Then another live feed with these two younger people covering it who kept butchering his name, didn’t have a clue as to what they were talking about and were phony as all get out. Claiming Supernatural was their favorite show, they watch it all the time.. There were better interviews but the live streams left something to be desired. At the afterparty he appeared to have a blast and everyone loved that he partied with them not just staying in the VIP area. One poster said he stayed until they turned the lights on which was 3 a.m. Danneel was there with him (and looked beautiful) and his friends. Jensen was classy, grateful, humble, gracious, entertaining and sexy as Hell as Bacchus King. He did himself and everyone associated with him (and the Supernatural family!) proud.

There’s one vid where the singer of the band that played at the coronation was performing and he walked up from behind her and while she sang he did a little shimmy and the look he gave her I am amazed she didn’t spontaneously combust. I would have died on the spot. That Danneel is a lucky, lucky woman. Wow. Just... wow.

You have a lovely way with words AC! you are very descriptive I can just imagine being there. One thing I have always said about Jensen is that I feel he is a very sincere deep down people person. He gets us, and always mingles in with the crowd like he was born to do it. He is as corny as it sounds a natural with no hidden supernatural in there. Ha! He always strikes me as being nice to meet and takes his time in getting to know someone. Look how he was with those children in the hospital handing out those coins. He didn't need to be prompted in doing his job by the officials, he just got on with it. Jensen has always been humble that is a huge part of his nature and one trait to be nicely associated with, I really believe Jensen is one of those true gents! What you see, is clearly what you get. I would loved to have been up close and personal there having my picture taken with him. I noticed no one asked for an autograph though, just a selfie!!

Some of those videos that I looked for on-line were saying I couldn't watch them outside the US. Which was why I said bum, I've been blocked. I have seen a number on you-tube though. I did see Jensen singing Carry on wayward son with a female singer and he was fab!

I think as far as exposure goes for the show, we couldn't have got bigger than this, and we have Danneel to thank. I think she enjoyed it just as much as he did. One of the vids there was an organiser showing Jensen the ropes, and said if he needed the toilet there was one on the float, I never laughed so much seeing the look on his face. Classic. He showed him how to throw the beads and again was a pure natural and one landed on the camera which made the organiser laugh. They bonded well, and Jensen was lapping it up, I bet his arm ached the next day after all that throwing. I think with the 300th episode and this event we've been so lucky this year, hope it continues!
