My Weekend Roundup, Which Isn’t So Much a Round Up as My Favorite Things That I Could Find

Sometimes things take priority over Rob. Not many things, mind you, but you know…

The junket was this weekend and I missed it because I was celebrating my kid’s birthdays. The boy turned 5 officially yesterday and the girl turns 3 officially on June 25, when I will be in L.A. So I had to make this weekend special, and minus Twilight since they were losing me to Twilight and Rob and even Kristen for a whole week at the end of this month. So there, that’s where I was in case anyone was looking for me. :)

So now it’s time for me to play some catch up. Which is essentially me going through the fan blogs and trying to figure out what all I missed over the past couple days. Here are my fave things that I have found, you know, where Rob looks completely adorable!

First up is Rob (and Kristen and Taylor) on ET! I like how TayTay and the Stew seem so serious while Rob is still just Rob. While the filter has finally fallen into place a bit, he still has some of the best interviews. And we promise Rob, the kisses never look quite like that!

And then there was the convention. Oh Summit, please PLEASE never put these three through that again. I can say that because I have been to a convention and I know how people lost their shit for those not even IN the trinity. First off, seriously, stop screaming. Secondly, someone should have let Rob sleep first. The filter, yeah, it came back off. And it was awesome. (Minus the screaming, please be careful watching with headphones. Seriously.)

AND then I went through the pictures for the press junket. Normally, these are so full of win. But with the yellow shirt on a red background, Rob kind of looks like he should be employed at your local Jack in the Box or something. Which is unfortunantly, not hot. Feel free to look and disagree with me, but we’ve seen MUCH better.

Rob wonders why the hell we think pillow biting is hot. Well, mainly because we think of you biting them, while in the throws of passion. Duh, Rob. Why are you surprised anymore?

The best quotes and fun times came from the press junket, at least in my opinion. Let me be honest, I have NOT watched this whole thing. I cheated and read the transcript.

If you want to read the transcript, RP Life has it all. It’s not perfect, but you get the gist of his best quotes. All I know is this one made me go awwwwwwwwww….

I can’t remember who said it, but a soul and a heaven must exist because good people aren’t rewarded enough on Earth. I always liked that idea, if that makes sense.

I also received word that Rob’s fly was down during the entire convention. (1) I am sure if this is true, Rob would be completely mortified, and (2) If this is true, someone please to be sending me a picture. Cause I can’t help but have a look. Seriously, hook me up.

Twicon Review! And It Ain’t Good.

FUCKERY!!!

FUCKERY!!!

Okay, let me clarify this before I start this blog. Sam, Bobby and Marcus were, for the most part, not part of my Twicon experience. Therefore, my Brit Pack breakdown will be tomorrow. There are too many happy memories with that I don’t want sullied with the fuckery that was Twicon. I know you guys are eager for it, but I’m not posting it till I get all the pics and vids good! ;)

Twicon was the ultimate epic fail! While there were good moments, which I will try to concentrate on, the whole convention was a cluster of disorganization, a staff that didn’t care and rude/uninformed volunteers (not all were rude, but ALL were uninformed!).I mean, this is to a point that once my anger has subsided a bit and I feel like I can write a constructive e-mail rather than a bitchy one, I am doing it. I will not ask for my money back, but trust me when I say this: Never waste your time and money with it. They are having 2 next year and I wouldn’t recommend either.

But for the good stuff (unfortunately there wasn’t much, and I’ve blogged some of it, including the opening day of Twicon and Friday’s drunk blog (sorry about vid, will edit and put in blog tomorrow), but there is a little bit more for you all.

And it’s all 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!


Help Me Decide!! Who Should I Meet at Twicon?!?

So, as you all know (or maybe not, since I have lots of new readers now!), after much begging, pleading and “special hugs” for the hubby, I will be attending Twicon in Dallas, TX later this summer. No, Rob is not scheduled to attend, but I hold unrealistic hopes that he will show up to hang with his “Brit Pack” friends.

Back to the point of this post. Tonight, I must make a TOUGH decision. Every attendee gets to choose one of the attending cast members to get a guaranteed autograph. Only one! So, since I will be live blogging and tweeting EVERYTHING for my readers, I thought maybe you all might like a say and can help me pick who I should meet! I’ve already broke it down to my top 3, so you just have to help me choose from one of them!

Let’s meet our contestants!

Kellan Lutz

Kellan Lutz

Oh yes, the 2nd best looking vampire (in my opinion), this boy seems so adorable whenever I see him in any videos. Plus, he has some washboard abs that literally make me want to cry. *tears up* And maybe, just maybe, if he looks away for half a second, I could steal that newsboy cap right off his head!!

Peter Facinelli

Peter Facinelli

Kindly referred to as Papa C., I feel just a wee bit closer to him then I did just a few days ago. I mean, Peter gave me Internet fame for a full 24 hours! And, well, I really believe he owes me a hug after I was a part of the major push for him to win his Twitter bet!

Jackson Rathbone

Jackson Rathbone

Jackson just seems like such a fun guy, and I’d love the opportunity to tell him he got screwed in Twilight when they cut out all his best parts (including, you know, his special power)! The only thing that makes me not vote for him is that I am going to the 100 Monkeys concert and I plan to dance with the Banamanager and I know Jackson is going to want to meet me after that!

Vote after the jump!

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.


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

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!!
