KitKatKate Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Yup same here! At least it gives me an excuse to go to the next one. (That is if he goes to that one) I've felt a bit sad this evening too, but I'm still REALLY excited! (mmm, Emmet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted January 28, 2009 Showmasters Admin Share Posted January 28, 2009 I'm trying not to think about the fact if my gold ticket was worthit or not yet... we don't know who the new guest is... and honestly... I really want to wait till after the con to make a decinion on it. :) I'm just glad I decided to wait to buy extra autographs till everyone was announced and stuff much less trouble XD 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.

CillaCullen Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 It's sad that he's not coming, although filming the movie is a very good excuse. I wonder who's coming instead of him though....exciting exciting!!!!! When do we get to know the answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharmedOne Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Aaw...now I can't meet a werewolf....been telling people I was going to meet a werewolf and a couple of vampires - heck knows why they gave me strange looks... Still, I kind of expected it to happen - it is totally understandable he is needed more than anyone else for pre-production of New Moon and I was SO thrilled for him when he got to keep his role. So...just gives me extra incentive (yeah, like I needed it!) to come to ET2 in the hopes he'll be free then - was suddenly looking forward to meeting him the other week. Never warmed much to Jacob in NM or Eclipse (me having a vampire fetish and all - Bella HAD to be with Edward!) But...by Breaking Dawn I really felt for him...and I did love him in the movie - which must have been down to Taylor's portrayal!! As for replacement guest...I'm hoping on Jackson...*sigh* But Rob would be a lovely surprise too!! As would anyone really - I'm just looking forward to being around like minded people where I can mention something like silver volvo's, yellow porsche's, sparkling skin, being dazzled etc etc and not have people give me a wide berth!! xC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CillaCullen Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Hi all Unfortunately as we feared Taylor Lautner has had to postpone his attendance at Eternal Twilight due to scheduling conflicts . I know that we were all really pleased that Taylor secured his place as Jacob in New Moon, but that has led to him having to alter his schedule meaning that he is not now able to make Eternal Twilight. However, we know that he was really looking forward to meeting you all and he appreciates your support so much. We will be working closely with Taylor and his agent to bring him to a future event so that he can thank you all in person. We are currently working hard on finding a fantastic replacement for Taylor at Eternal Twilight and hope to have some exciting news on this in the coming few days! We had hoped to bring you a replacement guest tonight! We try to have a back up guest in place just incase and we have a great guest that has agreed to attend the event, but we do not have a singed contract back from there agent yet so until we get this back we cannot let you know who they are! I know you all want to know who it is and we want to tell you! So, as soon as we have that contract back we will let everyone know. We run the events in a way so that you have some of the best days of the year with us and we want you to have a great time! It saddens us when this type of thing happens but it cannot be helped sometimes. We all want you to have a great time at Eternal Twilight and we here all know you will have an amazing time with us as in the last few days we have been talking to some people that will make the event even better and so much more special for everyone on the day! So trust us and we will have news on the new guest very soon Also, to let you know, we have also spoken with Kellan, Ashley and Justin’s agents and they are all still scheduled to attend and good to go to Eternal Twilight. After those conversations their flights were booked and so we look forward to seeing them at the show We are sorry about Taylor and thank you for understanding and support! Jason, Mark and the Eternal Twilight team I'm very happy to know that Carlisle is coming but do you know if there's more guests to come? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I'm very happy to know that Carlisle is coming but do you know if there's more guests to come? Maybe - usually there's 4 to 6 guests at that type of events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted January 29, 2009 Showmasters Admin Share Posted January 29, 2009 Thanks TT (can you tell that its my first Con?? ) Tara No problem. We all had a first event. I remember having all the same questions when I went to my first event. Without having done it you sometimes can't quite see how it will work. But don't worry this is our 7th ME show and we've got most of the kinks ironed out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
