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!


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!

(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!

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!!
