More from L.A. - Wrapping up Convention, Hollywood and more

Last night was the "Wedding Reception" where Booboo, Charlie, Mia, Christian and Tinsel came to hang out with fans.

Once again Booboo and Tinsel showed their committment to fans staying quite late. Mia disappeared early on again and Christian stayed quite a while chatting with fans.


I had a great conversation with Christian Camargo, I totally love him! We chatted about Whistler, Vancouver, Olympic Village, Dexter.... gah!!! I also got a photo with him - totally amazeballs!

I also chatted with Charlie about Vancouver and skiing. Then this morning was the breakfast, a lot different than usual. Charlie had to catch his flight so he did a quick autograph and no table circulation.


Alex, Christian and Daniel, however, did the rounds at the tables and then autographs.

Daniel was sweet as ever, we chatted about bars in Vancouver and how he was wearing a poppy to represent Canada.

Alex was cute and cocky as always, but super sweet. We talked about Vancouver, in particular Coquitlam where Jacob's house is (for the films) I told him some history on that land/area and he shared some fun filming stories.

Christian bumped his leg on our table when he went to sit down. We had a brief chat, I stayed mostly quiet because I had chatted with him for so long last night, but a friend at the table said to him that I was a huge Dexter fan, and he said he knew and reminded me what he had said the night before... Stay tuned for more ice truck killer on dexter... *squee*


After autograpsh (I got a double of Daniel because one was for my roomie Juaan who sadly had to leave to catch her flight) I met with new roomie Lisa and we took a cab to our new hotel... it sure isn't the Hyatt ha ha  ! Then our other roomie Dez joined and we went to Hollywood for the Marilyn Monroe movie premier red carpet. We missed Emma Watson but saw Michelle Williams (barely)

Right after was the BUTTER premier at the AFI Festival and we saw some more celebs as well as some convention friends. Here are the red carpet photos for Butter featuring Jennifer Garner and Olivia Wilde....






It was awesome because we called for Jenn and she waved to us mid-interview... Olivia Wilde arrived quite late and did the carpet very quickly. Ashley Greene, Hugh Jackman, Alicia Silverstone among other cast were not seen by us. Not sure they attended.

Then we went to eat at Hooters and used our 4square check-in to get free appies - score!

Then we went to the AFI people and won tickets to the advanced screening of Haywire.

I am, as many know, a MASSIVE Channing Tatum fan, sadly he wasn't there because he is filming, but after the awesome movie there was a Q & A hosted my Joel McHale with director Steven Soderbergh, and actors Ewan McGregor, Gina Carano, Michael Fassbender.








How incredible!

We got photos with Gina after (I used to watch her on Gladiators)

After that we tried the Metro and found it super fast to get to our hotel - SCORE!

Now it is ZZzzzzz time as tomorrow is another long day with Jimmy Kimmel to see Taylor Lautner as well as the Immortals Premier (no I amnot doing both, the cloning experiement failed unfortunately)

Wish you were all here - Having a blast!

Breaking Dawn Convention Day One

It was a later start this year with registration opening at 2pm. I helped with registration most the day but it was an awesome way to see and meet everyone!

On stage today was Tinsel Korey, Mia Maestro, Julia Jones & Booboo Stewart.

I tweeted a few pics and RT'd a few as I was not in the theatre much of the evening.

A group of us went to Pink Taco for dinner then returned to join everyone for karaoke.

We arrived and Mia Maestro was just leaving after an hour, Tinsel Korey however was still there and is actually still down there while I type ha ha she is awesome!

Was a great day to see old and new friends in the Twilight community.

Good things today:
-meet new people/see old friends
-pink taco guacamole
-sleeping in

Not so good things today:
-still sick
-possibly sprained or broke my finger
-pink taco mojitos

Sorry there aren't a lot of photos today.... tomorrow is the "BIG DAY"

Here are some karaoke pics from tonight:

Hope to see you out & about

Hey, if you want to stalk  meet up with me while I am on my adventures, here is how:

Currently I am at Seatac with a delayed flight... I will get into Cali this afternoon and after checking in tot he Hyatt probably sswing by Kimmel to catch a glimpse of Rob if I can. Just me a hundreds of other fans I imagine.

Tomorrow I am going bright and early for Grauman's which will allow line-ups starting at 6am. I won't break the rules and go earlier, but I will hope it is run well and all fans get a chance to see the ceremony.

After that I am heading to Leno to see Kristen Stewart. I requested tickets before guests were announced and am pretty psyched it worked out this way.

After Leno we may swing by Kimmel as Kstew is going from Leno there.

Then it's Cretion's official breaking Dawn Convention all weekend.

I will be at the Hyatt til Sunday evening so if you are at the con or any of the above activities look for me and say hi!! I always leave these big events sad I missed out on seeing or finding people I want to meet and see.

Then Sunday until Wednesday I am staying with a group of gals in a cheap downtown motel. We are all hitting various different events over those few days including Leno, Kimmel (I will be there for Taylor Lautner) X-Factor and maybe even some Price is Right tee hee!

Wednesday I move in with a different group of gals to a different hotel at LA LIVE and we prepare for the Premiere Camp-Out. I am so excited, this is my first camp out for a Twilight Premiere, well, any premiere really (except WFY NYC but that was brutal rain and cold and I prefer to pretend it  did not happen because it just about broke me!)

Anyhow, after the premiere I head to NYC and get to see another group of wonderful gals that I adore and we have a few things planned including the screening for Breaking Dawn and the midnight release and of course everything New York that is fun

Tweet me if you are around at any of these and hopefully we can meet up for a hello, a hug, a drink!!!

November Twi-Trip

November is going to be absolute insanity. I have likely bitten off more than I can chew, but that tends to be how I roll!

I am drowning at work right now, not only is it the busiest time of year for me, my daughter has been sick, I am planning a trip next month and I just feel like I am going crazy... that is why the bloggy has been lacking...

I apologize! Real Life sometimes creeps in and kicks my butt!

More... So Basically the next week is absolutely nuts. Then after next weekend, I have less than a week, in fact, 3 or so days, to get packed and prepared for my trip.

Here is my plan (tentative and still working out kinks)

-Wednesday Nov 2 - Drive to Seattle and Fly to Cali

-Thursday Nov 3 - Check out Grauman's Theatre where a certain trio are getting their hand prints done in the cement.

-Check into hotel and hopefully relax, unless I have tix to a talk show, I applied for a few ha ha

-Friday 4th - Sunday6th is the Convention, Saturday the BIG day with a certain trio on stage in the early evening and most of the cast on stage throughout the day.

-Sunday 6th -Wednesday 9th- move to my cheap hotel ha ha relax for a few days with friends, site-seeing, talkshows maybe... open for suggestions

-Wednesday my buddies arrive and we check into new hotel and prepare for "premiere camping" this will be my first experience (ok WFE NYC but I have scratched that from my memory forever) so I am not sure what to expect but there IS a group of us who plan to do hotel/camp rotations however often permitted by security

-That weekend will be a blur of rotations, mingling, and likely some debauchery

-Monday 14th is the premier, I don't knwo what to expect but if things go well some red carpet action and maybe seeing the movie, to be honest, I would rather see it than red carpet it because I guess I am weird that way LMAO

-That night we have a hotel near LAX and in the early morning fly to NYC

-Check into Hotel, friend has classes while there, but I have other friends living or visiting NYC that I get to see, we have a few things planned such as a BD Screening and a BD midnight release and maybe take in some talk shows and/or broadway shows (I did rush seats in April and got $30 row 4 to How to Succeed in Business and then met Daniel Radcliffe out back... so worth it!!)

-Stay at friends last couple nights, just enjoy the city

-Sunday Nov 20 - FLY HOME!!!!

Tell me I am not crazy......... because I am feeling pretty damn crazy!

After this crazy October though, I deserve a break and this is a little bit more than a break but will be a blast!

When I return it is down to Seattle for USA Thanksgiving with the family and then December is staying home for recoop ha ha

I promise to take tons of photos and tweet lot's and blog lot's and share the experience for those who won't be there!!!

For those that WILL be there (or for at least part, be it the convention, the premiere, nyc, or where ever....) please let me know! I would love to meet up with as many people as possible during this adventure :-)
