Twilight at Midnight (Again)

Where to even start with this one!!! I had the best night ever on Friday and yes, it was all Twilight related!! I have been counting down to the release of the movie mostly because I was so excited for all the the bonus scenes, interviews, comentary and extended scenes!!

Earlier in the week I had received a text message from my cousin Lindsey asking if I had heard that the cast of the movie would be here in Utah. I got really excited and then thought, no way!! Why would they come here?? So I did some googeling and came up with nothing.

Despite that though, I made plans to meet up with Lindsey and my good friend Christine at a release party just to hang out and have fun and get our copies. On Thursday night, I was trying to find a store for us to go to, and I came acorss a site that said various stores had been chosen across the country and members of the cast would be attending each one! I was SO excited that Lindsey had been right and tried to see if I could find out where they would be. No luck!

So Friday, all day, I kept trying to think logically about where they would send a star, if they really were coming here. My conclusion was that it would be the Borders in Murray. First, because the store is right by the freeway and second because they had a special edition of the DVD coming out. So I planned on calling my cousin later that day to let her know that's where I thought we should go.

Well, later that day, after work, I had about seven text messages. Some of them were from my cousin and wondering where we were going that night, but I also had a message from my totally awesome friend Danielle!! She had been keeping up on the Twilight Lexicon webiste and had found out that the star was going to be at the Wal Mart in Riverton. So of course I called everyone that was going with me and said we have to get over then ASAP!!!

I think that we got to the store around 9:00 p.m. and met up with Danielle and her friends (a HUGE THANK YOU to them for letting us cut in line with them)!! There were lots of police officers there and a some EMT's just in case it got out of control. They had a really cool gazeboo with white lights all over it with Edward and Bella cutouts inside!! It was so much fun hanging out with my sister, my cousin, my friends and all the other Fanpires!!! :0) I had my camera with me and took tons of pictures!!!

If only he were real!! Haha!!

Me and my friend Christine. Notice her awesome Cullen crest choker!! And you see my read beads.... I totally won those for knowing that the ballet studio was on Cactus Street!!

This is me and my cousin Lisdsey in our awesome Vampire Baseball shirts!! I was so excited that I finally got to wear mine to something!! The store was having a costume contest, so of course there were character look-a-likes all over the store! I think this guy was my favorite Edward! He had the jaw thing down really really well and his golden contacts were amazing!!

So I think that it was supposed to be a surprise as to who was coming, but again Danielle totally had it down for us!! We found out that Rachelle Lefevre who plays Victoria would be coming. Since I knew she would be there I HAD to find something for her to sign,so I HAD to buy another copy of the Twilight book (Yes, it is my thrid copy, haha), but it has a different cover than my other two books so it was worth it. Close to 10:00 Christine and I tried to hang out at the front of the store so we could see here when she first walked in, but it was crazy and some of the Wal Mart workers were kind of mean so we went back to our spots. But we knew the second she walked into the store because of the crazy loud screaming!! We were all pretty excited as the line kept moving even though we couldn't take pictures with her!!

Here she is!!! She was so pretty and so sweet!! I LOVED her hair and wish I could figure out how to get mind like that!! I tried to take a million pictures of her as we got close because they were trying to keep the line moving.

This is Rachelle signing me book!! Ahhh!! It was so crazy to be looking at someone from my most favorite movie (just as a side note, it makes me kind of sad for what ends of happening to Victoria)!! Something that I noticed that was really cool was that after she signed your item, she looked up and made eye contact with you and said thank you!! How awesome is that!!

So at the end of the night I actually walked away without a copy of the movie, crazy I know!! But thanks to my awesome friend Danielle I found out that Target would be selling a 3 disc version of the movie the new day!! So I went on Saturday and got my own copy!! But after handing out at Wal Mart for three hours and buying the best movie ever, we couldnt just go home and go to bed!! So we bought some red KoolAide and then came back to my house to watch it!! I was up until about 4:30 in the morning but it was so much fun!! Thanks to my awesome cousin Lindsey, my cool friend Christine and my little sister Kaylee for hanging out with me that night!! I had a blast!!
