The BritPack Review…

By Amber

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!

By Amber

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!

By Amber
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!

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

By Amber
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 boat… Sam 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.

Top 10 Reasons We Love Robert Pattinson!

By Amber

We all have our reasons for why we LOVE Robert Pattinson. And since this is the day he was placed upon the earth for all of us to oogle, it seems now is a good time to remember all those wonderful reasons

1. He brought Edward to life, but in real life, he is nothing like Edward.

I will fully admit and am not ashamed to say that I jumped on the Rob Crazy Train after the release of Twilight. I read the books, then saw the movie and can say that no one else even comes close in my head when I picture Edward.

But, as I learned more about Rob, I realized he was no Edward. He wasn’t perfect. He doesn’t always look like some Greek God. He drinks. He smokes. And I can say with some confidence that I love Rob for Rob, not just because he played Edward.

2. He is a dirrty boy, and doesn’t care!

No, I don’t think Rob smells, unless you count cigarettes, beer and must as being smelly. But, I do think he is dirty! And he admits it, so I’m pretty sure I am right. Besides, we all like our Rob dirty, don’t we? Yeah, that’s right!

3. He says inappropriate things in interviews.

Things like tool, terminal groin chafing, manmeat and f*cking awesomeness! Click each word to hear that beautiful voice say those naughty things!  (Thanks Late2thePartee!)

4. He can’t stop touching his hair.

‘Nuff said. The hair porn is AMAZING!!

5. When he signs an autograph, he write things like this.

Can you read that? It says You are welcome to my den of sin. *POOF*

Can you read that? It says "You are welcome to my den of sin." *POOF*

6. Sometimes he enjoys going commando, sometimes he doesn’t.

Commando and not commando!!

Commando and not commando!!

7. He looks like he shops at a thrift store, BUT he cleans up amazingly!

Thrift Store to Rodeo Drive!

8. He introduced us all to AMAZING music we may have missed if we weren’t paying attention.

We Love You Robs Friends!! (And not just cause youre Robs friends!)

We Love You Rob's Friends!! (And not just cause you're Rob's friends!)

Thanks to Rob for giving us Sam Bradley, Bobby Long and Marcus Foster. We may have missed out on them without their amazing songwriting skills!

9. Only he could make reading the HP books again so much better then the 1st time around.

I wonder if HP peeps are trying to figure out how they can work him back in...

Because picturing Rob as Cedric Diggory makes it all so much more emotional for me. I cried. And part of me wished Diggory could rise from the dead.

AND THE #1 REASON WE ALL LOVE ROB…

10. He is the total package, and doesn’t even realize it!

I dare you to try and resist that smile! DARE YOU!!

I dare you to try and resist that smile! DARE YOU!!

AND DON’T FORGET!!! Today is the LAST DAY to enter my “Name My Blog” Contest!! The best brithday gift you can give Rob is creative names for my new blog! ;) Here are all the details on how to enter!

We Did it to Sam Bradley AND We Did it Again for Bobby Long!

By Amber

On Sunday night,@SippieCup and @__specialK got the great idea to start a campaign to get Sam Bradley

Belt it out, Bobby!!

Belt it out, Bobby!!

into the Top 10 Twittering Trends. After @MsJBell brought it over to the LTR girls, we quickly saw Sam rise all the way up to #2. (Read my account of the night here.) After getting Sam up in the Top 10, @MsJBell then said

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

So, last night, we did just that, and we got #bobbylong all the way to the top!! After approximently 2 hours, we got him to #1!

The #1 Twitter Trend Topic... Bobby Long!!

The #1 Twitter Trend Topic... Bobby Long!!

And of course, we had a lot of fun whilst getting him to the top! Here are a few of my favorite Tweets from last night!

Too_Far_Gone There is no such thing as global warming. #bobbylong was cold, so he turned the sun up.

joebendesigns Wow, okay, I think I need to go to bed. Taking over the Twitterverse with @MsJBell has worn me out!! #bobbylong

8_6Eazy_C Who the f— is #BobbyLong? Wasn’t he the fictional gay pornstar in Zack&Miri who referenced his movie Shut Your Mouth Or I’m Gonna F— It?

BeUrLover2 “Sweating bullets” is literally what happens when #bobbylong gets too hot.

vickybonnett If you play Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” backwards, you will hear #bobbylong banging your sister. #veddersgirl

MsJBell Dear #bobbylong, I need a cig after all this #bobbylong and I don’t even smoke. But you #bobbylong, YOU ARE SMOKIN! #bobbylong

My Freebie List… THE Extended Version!!

By Amber

Back in January, I wrote a nice little Letter to Rob about my freebie list, and I think it’s about time to update and post it again. I feel the need to add more to it, further explain myself (and have a little more fun with it)!

By the way, if you don’t know what a freebie list is, then you need to follow that little link above to my original letter. It is all explained there!

So, who is on the list? Let’s go!!

1. Robert Pattinson (duh!)

Don't be shy! Yep, you are #1 and don't you forget it!

Don't be shy! Yep, you are #1 and don't you forget it!

No, Rob hasn’t been on the list for long. He was added because of 2 significant life events, (1) Heath Ledger passing away (cause he had LONG held the #1 spot) and (2) that whole Twilight business consumed me!! The funny part is, even after seeing Twilight, I was not totally on the “Rob Band Wagon.” Shocked, aren’t you?!?

In fact, you can personally blame the ladies at Letters to Rob for making me completely head over heels, madly in love with him. Yep, they managed to accidentally add more competition. Way to go ladies!!

Oh, that perfect smile, the eyes, the hair. Grrrrr... watch out Gwen!!

Oh, that perfect smile, the eyes, the hair. Grrrrr... watch out Gwen!!

2. Gavin Rossdale

Alright, this one goes WAY back. Like back to junior high back. And, honestly, it has totally lasted through the years. I mean, have you all seen the videos for Love Remains the Same or Forever May You Run?!? If not, drop everything, go to Youtube (links above) and watch. No worries, I’ll wait…

Smokin’, right!?! I like my men grungy, bad boy and they have to be rockers. Those type of guys just do it for me in all the right places! Gavin has even dabbled in acting, playing a demon in Constantine. And, wow, demons CAN be sexy!!

3. Jonathon Rhys Meyers

Oh, I could just eat him up.... nomnomnomnomnom....

Oh, I could just eat him up.... nomnomnomnomnom....

Most commonly known for playing King Henry VIII on The Tudors, my love for Jonathon goes back to the movie Bend it Like Beckham cause (1) I love soccer players (I did marry one, after all) and (2) the accent was killer. I like Rob’s and Gavin’s accents, but Jonathon’s just does things to me. I don’t know….. Sorry, trailed off there. ;)

Anyway, the bod, the eyes, the accent, the athleticism (okay, so it was a movie, but who cares?) what is not to love. PLUS, on top of everything, I JUST learned that he also is a muscian. Apparently, guys must be well rounded for me to dig ‘em!

Okay, honestly, the freebie list is for 5 guys, but I only have 3 that have truly permanent spots. The other 2, well they change based on current trends, the economy, proximity to me…. you know, the usual. For example, the weekend of Twicon, it just may so happen that Kellan Lutz and Jackson Rathbone may sneak in as 4 and 5. Or if Sam shows up with Bobby. Oh, the possibilities are endless!

And everyone who is thinking, “Oh my gosh, you are married and have children, how could you EVER write something like this?” Get real people. I mean seriously, what are the odds? Plus, my hubby has his own list, he just isn’t working as hard as me to put himself in the right place at the right time!! ;)

How to Convince the Hubby to Let Me to Go to TwiCon

By Amber

Sometimes living in the middle of the country pays off. Not when hoping to meet anyone famous. Not when hoping Sam Bradley may cruise through for a quick set. BUT when wanting to go to TwiCon 2009!

So, what’s holding me back? Oh yeah, $255 to register, plus additional $20 to go to 100 Monkeys concert. Hubby not excited about that. In hopes of convincing him that he should definitely most positively let me go and that this IS a good investment of $275, I’m listing all the great reasons I have to be there.

1. It’s in Dallas, within driving distance. No expensive airfare.

2. Got a place to crash, for free. No expensive hotel.

3. Ashley Greene will be there, and who else but me can invite her to the big LTT/LTR sleepover we are all having.

4. Someone mentioned that a girl got to touch Kellan’s abs while at another convention. I must touch Kellen’s abs.

There aint nothing wrong with good ol blog research!

There ain't nothing wrong with good ol blog research!

(What?!? It’s research for my blog!!)

5. Bobby Long AND Marcus Foster will both be there. If they throw Sam Bradley in that mix, I am so done!

6. Jackson will be there with 100 Monkeys, and it is my goal to figure out where the after party will be and chill with “Jasper.”

7. I must know if Billy Burke’s amazing ‘stache is real. And then ask him to be my dad!

8. Do a booty dance with Mike Welch! (We all know that was YOUR brilliant idea for the movie!)

9. Hillywood will be there! HILLYWOOD!!! Don’t know who they are? Well, you do now.


AND THE MOST IMPORTANT REASON OF ALL…


Cmon... if it happens at Wal-Mart, it can happen anywhere!

C'mon... if it happens at Wal-Mart, it can happen anywhere!

10. What if Rob makes an appearance?!? I know you doubt me, but if he can show up at the Wal-Mart headquarters in Bentonville, AR, then he could end up in Dallas (especially if his boys Long and Foster are there). It COULD happen!!

There is my Top 10…do you all have any other good reasons I can use as ammunition?

All I know, is if I win, you will all be rewarded with pics, first hand accounts, etc., and my hubby will get numerous “special hugs!”

Update:I am going to TwiCon 2009! Hubby just couldn’t resist!!
