Don’t Forget to Vote In TwiFight on MTV

MTV’s TwiFight is still in full swing. Make sure you vote to avoid bizarre upsets like Quil taking out Jacob!  MTV asked some Twilight site operators what they thought of the upset. Laura chimed in for the Lexicon and our red carpet buddy, Kallie of Twilight Series Theories, put in her two cents too.

“I have to say it shocked me and not much shocks me when it comes to Twilight!” said Laura Byrne-Cristiano, co-owner of Twilight Lexicon. “The only thing that I can think of is that people forgot to vote on the right side of the bracket. Tyson Houseman is a nice guy, but I didn’t think his fans would oust Taylor Lautner and Jacob!”

Kallie Mathews of Twilight Series Theories worked up a sound case for the fact that fans might have voted with just the final movie in mind, which focuses mainly on Bella and Edward.

” ‘Breaking Dawn’ is all about Bella and Edward, and the way the book has been split up for the movie has put even more emphasis on their relationship,” Matthews said. “I’m sure we’ll see some of Jacob and Nessie, but I think fans are holding out for them to take on the lead roles in their own story someday.”

Right now it’s at neck-in-neck battle between Quil and Tayna, Carlise and Esme, and Jasper and Renesmee! VOTE VOTE VOTE!

The Twilight Saga: The Complete Film Archive, Book Signing and Actor Appearance

If you’re going to the Twilight Convention in Burbank, why not stop by here:
 
WHO’S SIGNING: Author and film critic Robert Abele (http://www.lafca.net/members/robert_abele.html)
               Peter the nomad – actor Erik Odom (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3241634/)
               Mary the nomad – actress Toni Trucks (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1926337/)
SIGNING WHERE: http://www.DarkDel.com/ — again, they’re soooooo very close to the Burbank Airport Marriott.  This is the perfect post-con signing event late Sunday afternoon.
WHEN: This Sunday November 4th, 2012
WHAT TIME: 4 p.m. onward
 
Books ideally should be pre-ordered from the store before the signing, via Del and Sue at 1-888-DARKDEL (818-556-6660).  They also have Bella, Edward, Jacob character teaser posters, as well as the “running trio” final theatrical one-sheet – all already signed by Bill Condon- for the first 40 customers who pre-order with the store. 
 
There are  some limitations on what and how much of it can be signed that isn’t bought at the store – they are, after all, in the business of trying to sell books via their real brick-and-mortar store – so any fans with questions would be best advised to ring them at the store for clarification on what can or can’t be signed, and to PRE-ORDER BOOKS!

Breaking Dawn 2 Premiere Camping Advice from Expert!

Our friends over at His Golden Eyes (now known as pages to premiere) have some fantastic advice for those camping out at the premiere next week. A lot of newbies have been emailing us and now you have advice courtesy of Amy (Oh My Carlisle on twitter) who camped for the first time last year and is back in camp section 6 this year.

 

I camped out for ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1’ premiere and I will be out there again this year (Shout out to Group 6!).  These tips are based on my experience and I tried to cover as much as I can think of to cover. I also live in the Los Angeles area. I’ve included images from my experience to give you some visuals as well!

Book a local hotel room! 
I can’t stress this one enough. Do you really want to get near Robert Pattinson after not showering for four days? Hotels are your home base.  You can charge your electronic devices and get online. You can store items that are expensive or you don’t want to get ruined by the elements. You can get a shower and use a toilet. You can get warm or cool off.  You can take a nap in a bed. A lot of people book a hotel room and split it among a group bigger than the occupancy because they are not sleeping in the room. I could never do this without having a hotel room within walking distance and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else do it either.

Prepare for the elements 
Southern California may have a reputation for sunny and 70 degrees, but as campers learned last year, that is definitely not always the case.  On the second night of BD1 camp a storm blew in that flooded tents, soaked campers and blew some items away. Make sure your tent is waterproof.  Make sure you bring extra layers including gloves and hats. It can get very chilly, especially at night when you are tying to sleep on concrete.  Conversely, it could be 90 degrees and sunny the whole time. Don’t forget sunscreen. Most importantly, keep an eye on the weather forecast.
