Boston Twilight Convention (August 19-21)

So, this was my first Twi Tour experience... and I had a blast!! My friend Tracy and I went together and while we were there met up with three other ladies, whom we talk to on Twitter; Jen, Sharon, and Sabrina. The weekend was super packed with events- including Twilight Lexicon & Twilight MOM panels, Hillywood show, the Twilight actors Q&A, autographs and pictures, and much more! Here is my summary (and some HOT pictures) of my weekend!!

Friday was Q&A with...
TINSEL KOREY!

 Tinsel plays Emily in The Twilight Saga. She is the fiancee of Sam Uley- member of the wolf pack! Who imprinted on Emily.

Tinsel talked a little about the process of applying the scar on her face- she said that in the beginning it took over 8hours, but eventually the process got faster and faster. She also said that at one point they started to put her scar on the wrong side of her face- which all Twilight fans know Emily's scar is on the right side of her face- caused by Sam who lost control of his wolf temper. When asked about memorizing lines for roles she says that once she knows that story, the lines come easily. And she enjoys playing pranks on the "wolf boys" when it's downtime on set. LOL- can only imagine!

 GIL BIRMINGHAM

Gil Birmingham plays Billy Black, Jacob's father. Let me just say that Gil is awesome. He was so much fun and hysterical!

**Gil's favorite movies he's ever worked on is an animation film called Rango.

**Described himself in three words, "I am me" 

**Gil says he enjoyed play fist fighting w billy burke & another fav was giving the stink eye to Rob Pattinson.

Friday night was Karaoke. Or as some called it "Korey"oke.

**Gil didn't bring his guitar with him on this trip, but both him and Tinsel sang at Karaoke. They were awesome! They stayed for most of the night. Tinsel even got up and sang with one of the young girls who was in the audience. And yes, I did get up to sing a song! lol.

Saturday was Q&A with...
BOO BOO STEWART

Seriously!! how cute is he??

 Boo Boo Stewart plays Seth Clearwater in Twilight Saga. He is the youngest of the wolf pack and the younger brother of Leah Clearwater.

**first off, Boo Boo is such a sweetheart! We met him in the morning and got his autograph. And made sure every person in line got a hug!

**Boo Boo was finally able to talk with Rob Pattinson on set. Says he's hilarious and just a cool guy.

**He started doing stunts at 10 years old. 

 Someone asked Boo Boo if he'd show up a flip!!

 TINSEL comes back and does another Q&A session

**Tinsel didn't realize the magnitude of the Twilight franchise when she auditioned for Emily

 And here comes the part that everyone was patiently waiting for on Saturday! 

The Breaking Dawn vampires ((Guri Weinberg, Patrick Brennan and Bill Tangradi)) :-) And let's just say that they were a RIOT! Honestly, I had a hard time keeping up with them, so didn't get much of a chance to tweet or right down the questions and answers being asked.

** Guri Weingberg (far left) plays Stefan in Breaking Dawn. Stefan is a member of the Romanian Coven.

** Patrick Brenna (middle) plays Liam. Who is a member of the Irish Coven.

** Billy Tangradi (far right) plays Randall. An American nomadic vampire.

This picture says it ALL! lol

 Next was Vampire Photo Ops.

Tracy & I in out "GFYS" shirts!! Its a Twitter/Guri thing ;-)

I LOVE this picture. (Tracy Guri, myself-Andrea)

That night after dinner we quickly got dressed for the Volturi Ball. Unfortunately the lighting was too dark for pictures, but the night was fun. The Hillywood girls were DJs and they also chose the winner for the centerpiece displays. Which were so cool!! Some people really got into this ball- with prom dresses and some even dressed up at vampires.

And on the last day of Twilight Tour... we had a Q&A with...
ALEX MERAZ

Alex Meraz who plays Paul, a member of the Quileute wolf pack.

 Isn't he hot! Oh my goodness! lol 

**Alex told a hilarious story about Taylor Lautner; he was so funny! 

**Alex would play James if he had to be a vamp in the Saga. 

**The greatest thing he got from the film series were the friendships he made filming the Twilight movies

PETER FACINELLI

 And last but not least was a Q&A with Peter Facinelli, who plays Dr. Carlisle Cullen. The father of Edward Cullen.

Peter was a blast!! He got the audience enteracting with him and laughing. He got up and walked around the room. Gave hugs and even sat down 4 seats from me!!

**The funniest thing was that when asked about his hair for Breaking Dawn, he joked that some things were out of his control.

 **He continues to bring up his hair randomly. The audience got a kick out of it!! "underneath the hair is still a great man"

**Favorite horror story- Carlisle's hair in Breaking Dawn.

Promise those aren't the only things he talked about, but I couldn't help but share! So funny!!

I got a Photo Op with Peter also!!

LOVE THIS!

The cast members do autographs, the only thing we need to do is either bring something for them to sign, or buy pictures at the kiosks they have set up. So I decided to paint a Twilight collage. I'm happy with how it turned out.

 Overall, the Twilight Tour in Boston was a success! I met some amazing fans and people from Twilight Lexicon and TwilightMOMS as well as other people who I talked with on Twitter previously, but hadn't met til now.

Dark Days of Supernatural- Summer Tour- June 7th

So as a "spur of the moment" idea I decided to take a quick trip to Naperville, IL to the Dark Days of Supernatural Summer Tour that was being held at Anderson's Bookshop on June 7th. The authors on the tour were Veronica Roth- Divergent, Ellen Schrieber- 8 Cryptic Cravings (Vampire Kisses Series), Aprilynne Pike- Illusions (The Wings Series), Tara Hudson - Hereafter, and Amy Plum- Die for me. This was my very first tour and signing, so I was very excited to have the opportunity to go.

The main reason I went was to see Veronica Roth- author of Divergent. I absolutely loved that book! You can read my book review for Divergent here

Veronica Roth and Myself- LOVE this book. And she is such a sweetheart.

Below are a few pictures from the event. As well as a few answers from the authors during a Q&A session.

 I met up with Jasmine and Jacinda from The Reading Housewives of Indiana. We went out to eat beforehand, walked around downtown Naperville and ate some delicious Gelato. Then went into the bookstore early so we could get good seats (In the front row!)Who knew how much fun 3 book lovers could have!!! lol. Check out there book blog here

 The Question and Answer session was so much fun and very interesting. These authors are hilarious. They had the crowd laughing the entire time.

Aprilynne says that she is a religious planner-everything is outlined. She doesn't skip ahead because she loves writing endings, so going from beginning to end is her motivation  to finish. Veronica on the other-hand does not outline her writing process. She writes out of order- wrote Four's part first because she found him compelling ( so did the rest of us ;-) LOL) 

 Amy Plum, Tara Hudson, & Ellen Schrieber always knew what ages their characters would be. Aprilynne logically worked out what age her character was going to be based on how many books she was going to have. Veronica Roth said she wanted Tris to be 16 because it that aged seemed like an "awful" idea for someone to choose what to do in life. 

Veronica Roth shared.... If you check her blog next week she will reveal the name of the 2nd book in the Divergent Series!! (*squeee* I am so excited about this!)

And it was the Book Birthday of Hereafter that day also! It was very exciting to have Tara there talking about the book. I hadn't preordered it so I bought it after hearing her talk about it! Sounds like a fantastic read.

The Crowd

Amy Plum

I went home with every book except for Ellen Schreiber's 8 Cryptic Cravings. I hadn't read that series yet, but maybe one of these days will get the chance to read them! Also came home with some cool swag: Signed bookmarks, bracelets, and Divergent tattoos.

This trip was fantastic and I can not wait to attend my next book event! If the Dark Days of Summer Tour is in your area be sure to check it out- you won't be disappointed.
