Sam is Going to Get a GOOD Pounding for his Birthday!

1

I haven’t talk much about Sam lately, at least not since my EPIC Brit Pack Review. You may wonder why that is, or you already know. I have started a NEW fan blog for Sam, Marcus and Bobby called the Shack of Soul!! And over at SoS, we are partying like crazy today for Mr. Bradley’s big day o’ birth.

Here is how the ladies at Shack of Soul are celebrating!!

First off, as SoS announced earlier this week, we are giving away a SIGNED Sam Bradley poster!

There are 3 different ways to enter…

1. Comment on this post! Creativity does not matter!

2.Follow @shackofsoul on Twitter! Our new SoS Twitter account will give you all the latest and greatest from the guys.

3. Helping to #SamBradley like crazy till he is #1 in the Twitter Trends. (Deets below on how that enters you in the contest!)

This is not the first time Sam has been “pounded.” We got him up to the #2 spot back in May, but our goal tomorrow is #1. So, to do this, starting at 9 p.m. Eastern TONIGHT, make sure every tweet has #SamBradley in it! Don’t know what to tweet?

Wow!! Pretty good birthday plans, huh? Oh, and if you need something to get you in the Sammy mood, how about watching his first ever music video!

The BritPack Review…

My saviors of the Twicon disaster… the BritPack (which, for newbs, is Sam Bradley, Bobby Long and Marcus Foster)!! Trust me, if it weren’t for them, this weekend would have been a horrible disaster. Unimaginable disaster. Luckily, these guys made it one of the most amazing weeks of my life instead.

Sam Bradley

He may be falling in love with me right at this moment...

He may be falling in love with me right at this moment...

Of course, Sam was the one I was most excited about. I am in love with his music, his cute little videos, pretty much everything about him. And I tell you what, he managed to increase that love by about 1,000%. First my encounters, then the show!

Encounter 1: We just arrived. I saw Sam in the lobby. We played it cool and just said “Hi Sam” as he walked by. He smiled and said hi back. I waited till he was gone, then fangirled completely. I tried to tweet, but then I could not stop shaking. It was kind of ridiculous. The funniest part…we were the only ones that noticed him!

Aren't we gorgeous together? I mean, he helps it quite a bit but I think I hold me own!

Aren't we gorgeous together? I mean, he helps it quite a bit but I think I hold me own!

Encounter 2: Next day, meet and greet! Nothing too abnormal! Lots of smiles and everything while he signed all the crap I had! :) We went back up to the room to change for the Marcus/Bobby concert and then came back down to the ATM (which was in front of the meet & greet room). The door is closed, so I thought they were all gone, but after my cussing at the ATM for not giving me cash (since I spent it all at the M&G), Sam comes out, carrying his merch and some girl asked to take a pic. The girl I was with took the pic (Val), and then we stood there contemplating if we should ask for pics while other girls did. After everyone was gone, we decided to ask if he still had time and of course he said yes. We took them, he went to grab his stuff and noticed girl #1′s phone ringing on the counter. He answers it while Val runs off to find girl. After he hangs up, it’s just me and him. He asks me if I’m having a good weekend, and I say so far and that I was looking forward to that night. Then he asks if it was even the weekend yet, and we laugh cause he doesn’t know what day it is. After that, a slightly awkward silence occurs where I can’t think of anything to say. What I should have done was at least introduce myself, but I’m an idiot. Val comes back with girl #1, then we smile and laugh and tell him we’ll see him later.

More encounters from Sam, music, and of course Bobby and Marcus, ALL after the jump!! Continue reading


Friday Twicon Report!

It’s Friday. We’re at Twicon. And I am beginning to think the $255 price tag to get in this joint was a joke. I am promising you all this…there will be a nasty open letter to the organizers on my blog in the next week.

So here is the latest bit of fuckery that we experienced this morning. We showed up because they were offering 100 Monkeys autographs for free. One of the few things they were doing for free. And we were told that if we bought merchandise we can bump up to the front of the line. We bought some merch (which was actually pretty inexpensive thank God), but of course so did everyone else. Then they came out and informed us that if we wanted Jackson to sign our merch, then we had to pay $20. Excuse me?!? I thought Jackson was part of the band and we were told we were getting signatures for the band. There was no astrix next to the autograph session saying he would not be there.

People go ballistic on the coordinators. I think it was kind of the final straw on this mess of a convention. Somehow their solution to appease everyone was to just say never mind. Jackson wasn’t available at all. We waited in line anyway and got to meet the non-Jackson part of the band (who were adorable, by the way). Here is a little video I took of them while we were at the table:

We found out later that Jackson didn’t get to sign autographs because the band manager and acting manager couldn’t agree. Band guy wanted him to sign with the other guys, no charge. Acting guy wanted to charge. I can only manage the conversation that ensued between the two. So this whole thing was definitely NOT Jackson’s fault, just to clarify.

More after the jump! Continue reading


Thursday Twicon Wrap Up!

We totes made eye contact. It was a beautiful thing.

We totes made eye contact. It was a beautiful thing.

Okay, so Thursday was kind of a boring day. There was only one super awesome moment where we were standing in the lobby of the hotel, gawking at the crazy Twihard surrounding us. I pulled out my video camera to tape all of the 2nd hand embarrassment around me and before I could even turn it on I noticed a good looking guy in a sport coat walking toward us. I was nudging everyone and was like, “It’s Sam. It’s Sam.” NO ONE else in the lobby noticed him, and when he walked by we all gave a friendly little “Hi Sam.” No fangirling, no screaming, just calm and cool. He said “Hi” back to us and continued on his way. However, once he got a fair distance away, we did fangirl a little. I was trying to tweet and my hands were shaking. SHAKING! Definite high point of the day! By the way, I didn’t video any of it because I was all caught up in the swooning over Sam, to the point that I didn’t realize the guy walking with him was Marcus. Major fail on my part! :(

The registration lines were ridiculous and my fears that the organization before the convention would show how horribly organized the actual convention was were all confirmed. We stood in line for like an hour for registration and did not get registered before the first event. The opening session was a joke, although I will say that the Hillywood Cast emceed part of it and they were adorable. Especially Jasper! I posted that here for you guys:

Christian Serratos was out and about in the vendor area, and she a teeny tiny little thing that looks like if the wind blows the wrong way she will break. She was getting some kind of Twilight arm paint thing and when I tried to take a picture, her entourage siad “No pics!” I wanted to tell them to get over it cause she ain’t no Rob, but I was nice and instead flirted with the bassist to 100 Monkeys opening band to see if we can get word where Jackson was (we did not!).

I am very much hoping for a more exciting day tomorrow! We have 2 concerts, including Bobby & Marcus as well as 100 Monkeys. It’s going to kick ass, and now that I have my bearings, I will try and be better about the tweeting and blogging. Look for more videos, too!


A Lazy Saturday with Rob and Sam!

A long week and I’m sure we are all ready for the weekend. Our brains are drained, whether it be from the stress of work, school or kids, I don’t think any of us feel like thinking this morning. So, let’s get together and have a lazy Saturday!

To get you ready for ultimate laziness, I made not one, but TWO new videos. I was in the mood for music and pics, so I put it all together.

This first video is Robert Pattinson singing I’ll Be Your Lover Too. Now, I know I can go on YouTube and find plenty of videos using this song and Rob pictures, but none of them are very recent and really catch my fancy when I watch them. I thought today that I might just redo all of Rob’s songs one at a time and that I should start with one of my favorites! Consider switching out your current version of I’ll Be Your Lover Too on your YouTube playlist to this version. It’s got all the best pictures, trust me!

And video number two stars Sam Bradley! Why you ask? Because no one makes videos of Sam. We are so wrapped up in the world of Rob that we forget how insanely adorable and talented Sam is. And, honestly, I am most excited about getting to meet Sam in Dallas. Even more excited then meeting Peter and Kellan, which just seems plain crazy! To help curb the excitement and make me feel better, I made a quick video using Sam’s song Derek. It’s a great tune and if you haven’t gone and truly experienced Sam, go to his MySpace page now and do it. You also should follow him on Twitter.


It’s Time for Some Sammy B Love!!

Okay, you ALL know I have a slight infatuation with Sam Bradley, one of Rob’s many musically talented friends! And by slight, I mean I’m head over heels in love with him and his music. Yes, it’s true. So, today, I want to share with you all some of my fave Sam videos that will hopefully make you love him as much as I do!

How could you not love a British white guy who rocks No Diggity?!? The answer is: you can’t!!

He writes beautiful songs that he never intends to sell! A true artist! *sigh*

Oh, and he is sooo amazingly sweet to his fans!! Especially the ones I associate with.

So, love Sam Bradley! Check out his MySpace page! Follow him on Twitter andbecome a Facebook fan! Join me in the awesome Sammy B fandom. You will love it!!


Sam Bradley Coming to Twicon!! Will the Brit Pack Be Complete?!?

Marcus, Bobby and Sam... whos missing?

Marcus, Bobby and Sam... who's missing? (Source: Robsessed)

Today, in the midst of all the Cannes photos which are still causing mass hysteria across the world, I got a bit of news that almost made me more excited then Rob in a tux on a boatSam Bradley will be performing at Twicon 2009!!! And since I will be attending after writing such a convincing post to my hubby (note reason #5… I am DONE!) that made him unable to resist, I now get to see all of Rob’s friends in one place on one weekend: Sam, Bobby Long and Marcus Foster! *fangirl squees*

So, here is the real question: Will the Brit Pack (as MsJBell has so affectionately named Rob and his musical buddies) be complete?  I know the odds are slim, but let’s think of it this way…

You are a 23 year old guy or girl (doesn’t matter), no wife, fiance, significant other (take that Robstens!) and all your best friends are in one place, easy to get to, you have plenty of money and it’s just for the weekend. If it were me, I’d be there in a second to be with my besties… so maybe it’s not totally impossible.

If Rob does come, he’ll most likely come undercover. After ComicCon last year, if I were Rob, I’d never do

Okay, the picture of Rob not really germane to the blog topic.... BUT you know I can't resist!! (Source: Robert Pattinson... Who?)

conventions again. So, we’ll need to be on an extra special lookout, hope Lainey Gossip follows so she’ll tweet his exact coordinates and then REMEMBER to always refer to the lesson1 and lesson 2 of how to play it cool around Rob.

By the way… still insanely excited about Sam being there. I don’t care if Rob comes (well, I do, but I’m not going to jump off a cliff or anything), because Sam is an amazing entertainer, has read most of my blogging buddies blogs and commented (and possibly mine, though he didn’t comment) and has tweeted us under the same MsJBell’s account. I have other reasons for loving Sam Bradley as well, which you should revisit cause he really is deserving of our love!!

Woo hoo!! Twicon here we come!!

UPDATE!! Emailed Twicon peeps for details and confirmation of what Sam has on his MySpace page. Here is what they said…

Updates to our site will be coming soon. We have confirmed that Sam Bradley will be joining us but I don’t have the specifics.


We All Want to #SamBradley, AND We Did!

Trending Topic what? Someone explain? What would make you talk more? Thank you I think.... Yup thanks

Trending Topic what? Someone explain? What would make you talk more? Thank you I think.... Yup thanks

Yes, we can. If we Letters to Rob (LTR) girls set our mind to anything, we can do it. That’s what happened last night, when my fellow LTR girl and Twittering buddy said this:

MsJBell OMG! We’re making #sambradley a trending topic! GO. NOW! DO IT!!!! #sambradley (lmfao! I want to “pound Sam Bradley” TRUE STORY!)

According to Dustin Pitcher, there were over 1,500 tweets with #SamBradley over the next 2 hours. (Don’t know who Sam Bradley is? Fix that now by going to his MySpace page NOW!) His trending topic status jumped to a #2, before something happened (which we all think Twitter pulled the plug on our fun). And I have to believe that the LTR girls had a great effect in this rapid movement up the chain of trending topics with some classic posts like these:

vickybonnett Today will go down as the day that #sambradley got pounded and pounded and pounded #sambradley

midnightsunco okay…all this #ing #sambradley ! phew…i need a cig now. actually going to bed though. need to sleep. G-night tweeps! :)

vickybonnett Oh noes. Maybe the Swine Flu got #sambradley!!! Help! #sambradley get your face mask!

joebendesigns I srsly need a #sambradley hug. I’m sad that #sambradley is not on the trending topics now. How did #sambradley just go away?!?

So, now that we’ve giving Sam Bradley a good pounding over on Twitter, the next goal has been set by MsJBell:

MsJBell Everyone pounding #sambradley!! Listen up!! Let’s pound #bobbylong now! #bobbylong to the top!

And, we will do it again. Get ready Twitter for some good old fashioned pounding by the LTR girls!

UPDATE: Want to clarify something real quick! While MsJBell started the trend amongst the LTR girls, she (unfortnantly) did not start the overall trend. Much props to @SippieCup and @__specialK for starting this whole business!


Why I love Sam Bradley? Top 5 Reasons (Newsflash: It’s not just cause of Rob!)

Well, hello there!

Well, hello there!

Sam Bradley has really grown in popularity the past few months. And I’m sure that the fact he is friends with a certain guy who may have played a teenage vampire in a blockbuster movie has helped some. And, I hate to admit, the only reason I knew or found out about Sam is because of Rob Pattinson (and JBell who is my enabler in all things related to Twilight, Rob or anything even remotely related to those 2 topics).

But, Rob is not the reason I continue to listen.

Yes, we all love Too Far Gone because that is a song that came as a direct result of Sam being besties with Rob (Rob was a co-writer), but let’s go beyond that.

Here are my top 5 reasons:

1. Sam is a sweet guy! No, I don’t know this first hand, but my good friend over at Random Acts of Rob got a first hand account. It wasn’t just a quick autograph and pic, but she got some serious one-on-one time with him (I have mentioned how much I hate you today, Late2thePartee, right?!?). Go read her fan experience now, and try not to love him after the videos and pictures.

2. Sam comments on blogs, outing us all. I’ve seen 2 cases of this so far, once over at Letters to Rob and again at Random Acts of Rob. He has admitted that these are him (and maybe he’ll verify on my blog as well, hint, hint, Sam). Why does him commenting make me so excited?

A. It shows he is keeping an eye on what the fans are saying.

2. It makes me feel more normal that I also have Google Alerts set up for my name.

III. We are officially all 1 degree from Rob (ala 7 degrees of Keving Bacon).

3. Songs like You Think You’re Free, Sea Blue and Derek, genius!!

4. He makes YouTube videos, like this. AND I love him for that because I can’t make videos period! (P.S. Subscribe to his YT channel!!)

5. And the final reason I love Sam Bradley…he is adorable!!

    Courtesy of Late2thePartee, who is becoming my 2nd fave enabler (#1 still JBell)!

Think you may love Sam? Visit his MySpace account to listen to tunes and get more details on him! And don’t forget to follow him on Twitter. We promise we are trying to teach him how to reply!

Oh, and Sam, should you be reading this… Oklahoma City is a nice place for a lil concert. Or Dallas. Or anywhere within a reasonable driving distance of me. Seriously, I got connections in OKC. I can make it happen. ;) Love, me
