We’ve just heard from the folks over at Creation Entertainment that they are willing to give us two gold passes to the Official Twilight Convention that will be held this weekend in San Francisco. The gold passes cover everything listed below and are valued at over $500. If you would like the chance to win this amazing prize and spend the weekend with other Twilight fans as well as PETER FACINELLI, CHASKE SPENCER, ALEX MERAZ, KIOWA GORDON, BRONSON PELLETIER, DANIEL CUDMORE, and CHARLIE BEWLEY, then leave a post below with the words “PICK ME” in your message. We will pick one winner at random at 1:00 pm EST on Tuesday – tomorrow. Please note that this package only includes entrance into the event. It does not include transportation to and from the event, hotel accomodations, and food. The winner will be responsible for getting themselves to the event and for their hotel or housing arrangements. So please do not respond if you can not get to San Francisco on your own this weekend!

If you are not selected as the winner, you can still get into the convention.  Tickets will be on sale at the door for all three days of the convention.  For all the details on the event, visit Creation’s website.

For everyone attending the event, you can plan to meet up with other Lexicon fans and chat about your experiences over on our message boards.  And FYI – yes, Alphie and Pel will both be at this event.  This is one of about two or three events we will both be at this year so stop by and say hi to us if you can!

Despite the fact that it is snowing like crazy in Nashville (something that doesn’t really happen there.) the Creation Entertainment Official Twilight Convention is taking place. Ticket are available at the door if you are interested.

According to Alphie, plenty of fans are on site which just happens to be the Opryland Hotel! Peter Facinelli and Gil Birmingham have both made it there with other stars due in.

So follow along as we live tweet the convention all weekend.

Alphie is probably going to kill Pel for doing this, because there’s a story behind the picture, but what are friends for if not to embarrass you 🙂

As you can see, from Alphie’s photo in The Tennessean surrounded by Twilight items, the Official Twilight convention hits Nashville this weekend at the famous Opryland Hotel. Guests include Peter Facinelli,  Mike Welch (who was just added), Bronson Pelletier, Kiowa Gordon, Dan Cudmore, Charlie Bewley.

“I’m 35 — this is my girls weekend!” says Lori Joffs, laughing. Joffs, is the administrator of Twilight Lexicon, one of the most popular Twilight fan Web sites. She has attended Twilight conventions in Atlanta, New Jersey, Miami and Chicago (often as a presenter for Twilight Lexicon), and plans to attend about 10 this year. With so many conventions under her belt, Joffs has seen a lot of Twilight moms.

“There are a fair share number of teenage Twilight fans,” Joffs says, “but generally speaking it’s a rarity to find a teenage fan who’s (at a convention) without her mother. And her mother says she’s a fan, too.”

Be My Escape (Jen) will be joining Alphie at this convention, and as usual we will be live Tweeting the event! So if you are going to be at the convention, stop by and say hi. In fact you can even say hi to Lori’s mom and dad who will be there too.  Lori’s mom has the job of our random number picker. Whenever we give something away, mom does the honors. Starting in February, we will resume our giveaways.

Since we’ve been getting a bunch of emails asking, the Lexicon will be at just about every convention on the schedule (excepetion for LA premiere week and fingers crossed a Breaking Dawn set visit). Here’s the current list of the next 5 months or so of who will be at which one. Just don’t kill us if it changes slightly (husbands, children, parents, real-life and all that).

Nashville: Lori and Jen
San Fransisco: Lori and Laura
Atlanta: Lori and Jen
Los Angeles: Laura and Shelley
Houston: Laura
Arlington: Laura and Jen
Charlotte: Jen
Vancouver: Lori
Minneapolis: Lori and Laura

The Official Twilight Tour in Seattle was fantastic. Some changes to format this time gave fans the opportunity to hear from Lauren from the Official Twilight Facebook Group, Lana Veenker, who helped to cast Twilight, and to hear from Chairwoman Hatch of the Quileute Nation. Pel also got to have a late night bite to eat with the wolfpack.  Sorry no kiss and tell because she promised the guys that anything said at the table was not a blog entry so they could relax and eat their food in piece. However the guys agreed on the following:

The Seattle local press was also out covering the event.

One of the items that we worked on at the convention was assembling a bag that we are going to auction off for Haiti relief at the end of February. It’s a Little Brown Twilight Saga bag that is not sold in stores. Currently it has over 10 signatures on it. Plus it will be stuffed with (thanks to the generosity of Creation) 3 more autographs, a ton of official merchandise, a Hillywood DVD (thanks to the generosity of Hillywood), the shirt off of Charlie Bewley’s back that he signed (seriously, not even making that up), and more. We are going to put it up on Ebay at the end of February. One thing that we’ve learned from natural disasters is that the need will sadly be there in the months to come, so putting up an auction at the end of February will not go to waste.

Also starting in February we will resume our Wolfpack Wednesday series where we give away autographs of the wolfpack members; however, we have something extra in store. We realize that many of you are just as big fans of the Volturi as you are the wolfpack. So, in addition to Wolfpack Wednesdays, we’ll be adding in Volturi Venerdì (let’s see who can figure that out first.) And sometimes, because frankly we are running out of creative alliteration and nothing seems to go with Cullen, we’ll have a random Lexicon Lucky Day and give away a random something on any day we feel like it.

The convention got started today much later than usual because Peter Facinelli had a sudden shift in his schedule. However, Peter (because he felt bad that people might not be able to stay late to see him) decided to come on Saturday too. How cool is that! Keep up with us via Twitter.

The Creation Entertainment Official Twilight Convention that is being held this weekend in Seattle is shaping up to be quite the event. Currently slated there are appearances by Peter Facinelli, Chaske Spencer, Alex Meraz, Bronson Pelletier, Kiowa Gordon, Dan Cudmore, and Charlie Bewley.

Pel will be making the Lexicon’s three presentations, and she’s also be joining Twilight Facebook’s Lauren on a panel. Another newcomer to the official convention this weekend is Lana Veenker. If you have acting aspirations, this is one panel you DON’T want to miss.  Lana (who helped to cast Twilight) will be talking about the realities of the film business and how you can get involved without getting ripped off!

Now if you are going, Friday night’s concert entertainer is Candace Charee, and she needs some volunteers to be ” back up dancers for my show lol just like 2-4 people on stage being silly and acting like a part of my show.” Candace is a great singer with a fun personality, so if you are game you can contact her at [email protected]  or via her MySpace (which, check it out anyway because it gives you a sampling of her music).

The fun continues today with the Volturi taking the stage: Charlie Bewley, Dan Cudmore, and Chris Heyerdahl.
Alphie and Be My Escape will be tweeting in real time from the weekend’s convention. There are still tickets available that can be purchased at the door. There are various packages, but you can get a day pass for as little as $20.
