My Trip - Day 3

We woke up early to go on Catherine Hardwicke's set tour.

It was nice because I was sitting right near Catherine and got a lot of time to chat with her about various things.

We went to various sets and it was so interesting to hear Catherine tell us tales of filming. Even people who had been to these sets before said they loved hearing Catherine's stories about filming. Very Exciting!

There was a lot of re-enacting scenes ;)

Catherine talked about how they added the wood paneling and photos because the walls were white which isn't good in films.

We returned back to the hotel and had some lunch.

We missed a few speakers at the convention because we needed food and rest and to change.

We did catch some speakers luckily!

I helped out with the convention backstage and had some interesting jobs that allowed me to get to meet the cast again. I opted for professionalism over fangirling because #1 - I had met them before so didn't hagve that fangirl urge and #2 - I really enjoy event planning and helping out conventions is something I would like to do more of so fangirling wouldn't be a good way to do that.

That evening we had the volturi ball...

We witnessed an epic dance off

Candace Charee' performed

Chicken Dance

That night a few went to the bar. I walked to the bar and then once I knew everyone was there safe and sound (it is easy to get lost in Portland while walking via gps ha ha) I went back to the hotel and crashed HARD!

Another long but exciting day!!

My Trip - Day 2

I woke up Day 2 in Forks and I was NOT feeling well. I had def. over drank the night before and after some time (including showering and hurling) I felt good.

We went for breakfast and then did a tour of Forks.

Then we went to La Push baby, La Push



We had a long drive ahead of us so we headed South for Astoria.

The Oregon Coast is beautiful!!

We got into Astoria just before nightfall and got some photos at the Goonies locations....

We got into Portland at 9:30pm - it felt like forever on the road.... maybe it was. We arrived just in time for Creation's Twilight Convention Karaoke with Kiowa and Bronson.

That night we all went to a club called DIRTY - - - it was... interesting!

There were poles, we danced on them.

There was VIP, we hung out in there.

There were drinks, we drank them.

Overall it was a wild time with some cool people.

A group of us all walked back to the hotel together.

I had a shower and when I came out another 5 people were in my room because my dear roomie announced I had vodka LOL

Finally people cleared out and I fell asleep after one of the longest days of my life!

My Trip - Day 1

Finally I am getting to START blogging on my AMAZING trip....

More...


I woke up early and took my kiddo to school, kissed my husband good-bye and went to pick up the lovely @Lorabell.

We had a pit stop in Bellingham to get new tires on my car and have breakfast with Elyse.

Then we hit the road for Keystone/Port Townsend ferry.

We swapped life stories and snapped some amazing photos of the coast and ferry.

We were several hours behind schedule but it meant we could stop in Port Angeles at Bella Italia for some dinner.

I don't eat mushrooms so I ordered the Manicotti.... but our appie and the bread and balsalmic was delicious!

We finally made it to Forks for Twitarded Weekend....

We met some fellow Twitarded people and chatted it up.

By the time we got into Forks it was time to party.

We rested briefly and headed to The Dungeon, the "volturi themed" bar.

It was not nearly large enough for the over 100 of us.

We drank, laughed, hung out with the photographers and cameramen that Jenny Jerkface and STY brought along with them.

Here is a sample of the craziness.... Charlie 'staches, twidoll sex, and more:

Soon they opened up the Twilight Lounge upstairs and we went up for dancing and more drinking. There were these cute lil apples all over the tables and the bartender even gave me one - which was rad because I planned to steal one (or 10) anyways...

Met some amazeballs people and got slightly more intoxicated than anticipated.

Luckily the locals were there to entertain us and a few hard core partiers (I am looking at you @StarlitViolets) who helped me shut the place down!

Somehow we got back to the hotel and I was lifted off the floor into bed where I apparently crashed instantly....

I woke up feeling not so hot... but that is Day 2 - - - Coming Soon!
