Maybe someone else can correct me but I think that it was Run. Luv & Hugs Tara

OME please bring Peter back - He was such a fantastic guest - so giving. Luv & Hugs Tara

AHAHAHAHA it's the best shop ever! where us students shop cos we have no money you need to visit one while you're in england! I love Primark (well it's Pennys here but it's the same thing) It's got to be the best store ever. I bought a gray dress there for €20 the weekend and I'm thinking of wearing it to the Gold reception on the Friday. TaraB Ps. Sisterspooky - That is a great dress by the way !!!!!

Jade, They are FANTASTIC !!!!!!!!! Well done - will keep an eye out for you on Friday. TaraB

Arrrragh this is amazing. Thanks a mill SM - you're the best !!!!!!! TaraB

Apart form all the other things just remember your gold ticket gets you up close in the Wine reception which is restricted to gold and has been well worth it at other events Yeah me too !!!! I'm sorry that Taylor has pulled out cause I know so many really wanted to see him (I'm afraid my Team Edward side was like great we get to meet him, but I honestly wasn't jumping up and down) I think it was really expected and lets face it - the Film has to come first Looking forward to seeing who the replacement is but at this stage am seriously thinking that I was a bit over enthuastic in buying my Gold ticket so early. And just to address the subject of the wine reception (trying so hard not to whine when I know the wonderful people at SM are working their hardest) there are 150 gold passes and 4 guests – what are your chances of getting anywhere near any guest within the half-an-hour given and still maintain any sort of calm, cool and collected order. Anyway they say anticipation is the best part of Christmas and as with the other guests anounced, am really excited to find out who the replacment guest is. TaraB that may actually surprise you but showmasters have done this before and the gold parties are still organised enough that you will get to see them all do not fear at all :) the gold IS worth it! i wish i had the money to have got gold myself Well I look forward to being surprised then. TaraB You'll find it will go fine. We had 150 gold passes at the Hub and around 4 guests at the start (a couple more turned up later). And that worked out fine. We have an escort with each guest that makes sure that no one group hogs the guest too much and moves the guest on when needed. I'm always about in there too. If you find that after 45 minutes you are having problems getting to see the guests, (and this is for anyone) please feel free to come and tell me. I can then ask the escorts to stear the guests in your direction. Again this worked well at the Hub (and at the smaller Eclipse 2). It's sometimes hard for the escorts to find the groups that haven't seen the guest yet (as attendees move about the room). We've been perfecting it as the shows have gone on and it's now pretty good. You long as you don't hide in a corner and say nothing for 90 minutes you'll be fine. As I say if you're finding it hard to meet the guests just come and talk to me. Thanks TT (can you tell that its my first Con?? ) Tara

Was sitting in my car the other day when Run came on the radio (the good version - Snow Patrol) and i was thinking that the lyrics were very apt for a Twilight type of soundtrack - and then I heard The Three Graces do it in Italian (and instantly fell in love with it) and I kinda could really see it as Bella ran across the Piazza (sp?) in Italy as she is running towards Edward. If you can find the song (I wasn't able to find a link but it is up on itunes to hear a 30 second clip) have a listen and let me know what you think (it starts off a little slow but I think by the time it gets to the peak near the end that Bella would be off on her flight across the square to save Ed) TaraB

Thanks downloaded Startrekkin last night and haven't been able to stop singing it since. How infectious is that song ????? I really haven't heard it in a long time so it was great to hear it again (may just about have it out of my head by the time the Con comes around) TaraB
