  1. MY FAVE WOLFBOY CHARACHTER!!!!! Woohooo!! So happy for this!!!!
  2. I gave my votes but of the top 3 I chose Rob..cos well it is Rob..but if Kristen could go I would be very happy to meet her..hell honestly I'd be happy to meet any of them and I have been. So I just woted for whatever hit my mind...and first time guest I said Dakota Fanning cos I have seen several of her movies and just would like to meet her in person, as a repeat guests I said Jamie Bower just cos he was just so damn charming but I would have given a vote to Christopher Heyerdahl too. This is why I am not a big fan of polls..they only give one angle of the big picture..I wanna meet EVERYONE. :-). Yes even the Cat man..LMFAO!
  3. If you were at the table where we made the guests go around giving everyone a hug..yep we were LOL.
  4. I prefer the standing to be honest, so totally agree with Too Tall here, the sitting down makes it a bit more formal, but as I said in my feedback it was HARD to hear what the guests had to say. As for time. Well for the most part I think the guests had good enough time with us there..my only complaint was that Tinsel only had like 2 min at our table, time ran out. I hope there is a way to make SURE that ALL of the guests get the same amount of time at every table, THAT does of course demand us attendees to not "drag out" any of the guests time as well as the ppl making sure that each guest get to every table. As for the rest..nothing, I liked the fact there was a cake, snacks (Jamie sure loved the snacks lmao!) and drinks, both alcohol and non alcoholic..and you guys at SM are REALLY generous with the wine! LOL. NO not complaining! :-D S to me, keep the standing, make sure the room is better as far as accoustics go so we can HEAR the guests at our table and make sure that each guest get the same amount of time at each table so there isn't any "rushing" in the last few min. And that means us attendees has to cooperate with SM here as well and respect the fact the guest has to go when they are told to go to the next table. Works both ways here of course. IF there is a way to extend the wine reception that would be cool but if not then hey atleast you tried right Too Tall? :-).
  5. Summit confirmed the US red carpet premiere via twitter too (their twitter account is @twilight). As for UK premiere..as long as it is after June 16th I hope to try to go there...before june 16th..forget it, busy with other things. They may still just do fan events like with New Moon though..and if that happens I am still going if it is again after June 17th. The Red Carpet stuff for NM fan event was brilliant and I was in a GREAT spot! Right on the final stretch before they entered the venue for the event. All but Taylor stopped by us :-). I spoke to Rob, Kristen and Chris Weitz!
  6. What tix go onsale on the 18th? In the announement it says the 20th of April.....for ET4 tix holders...23rd for general sale
  7. Yay another guest! Cool! can't wait to meet her :-). And I also saw her in Kyle XY.
  8. I prefer to buy the tix online, I am not much for camping out for tix..done that enough times for concert tix..lol. I get it that ppl enjoy it and to each their own but to me getting tix online like they did for ET4 worked just fine for me. I made great friends at the convention regardless...amazing how easy it is to get intouch with ppl just by standing in line and just hang out lol, love that.
  9. Yep that's what I'll be waiting for too!
  10. *faints* jeez....you guys do NOT waste any time do you?! LOL
  11. Well I got a costume for this so that is cool!
  12. Christopher Heyerdahl was one of my fave guests at ET3, he was awesome, easy to talk to, INTERESTING to listen to and funny as hell! Sweet guy!
  13. Gotta admit I have never heard of her before but hey she will probably be very cool and it is NICE to have a guest you don't feel starstruck with too :-D. Looking fwd to meet her!
  14. Not really a music suggestion but for the ET4 parties can there be LESS use of the smoke effects please? I'd rather have more lights effect than the smoke..that was too much. Music requsts.hm..some newer Bon Jovi from Have a Nice day mixed up with their older hits? Nickelback would be cool, Metallica, Bruce Springsteen.yep ya know more rockin stuff lol. Less techno heh...
  15. Totally agree with everyone here, he was great and I totally enjoyed his exhibition of the costumes! It was fun seeing them up close and be able to well touch them.
  16. AH Jamie, yes he was a joy. I missed his talks but I got to be at his guest encounter and also met him at the drinks reception. Lovely absolutely a lovely guy. Charming, funny, a bit gutterminded which does NOT suck at all LMAO, and obviously having fun with it all! I also heard that he answered my question to him in the talks...about he and his band coming to Norway and his reply is something like IF I pay for their tickets? I wish I had heard that before the guest encounter cos I'd answer him in that one..LMAO..and sorry Jamie, love ya but NOT paying for your flights thanks very much..get a record deal and have THEM pay for that! ...I'll happily pay for a ticket TO the concert though! LOL
  17. I told Jaso at the con that the weekend was great.. and I guess saying a good thing doesn't hurt. Yes I had a great time, cannot wait for the next one!
  18. I do not think it is in their contract that they cannot do the unofficial cons..I think it is more about schedule etc...also the offical ones as long as they are promoting the Twilight Saga movies, being it a premiere or DVD release, that comes first. But when it is all said and done and if SM/ME runs these cons after that I'd say it is all about them wanting to do it and work related schedule allows for it. I do NOT think Summit can order them around what cons they can or cannot do.
  19. I see some comment about the Frenchies...ok I do agree shouting out in French at the talks is a bit too much..but I had NO bad experience with the Frenchies, they were all lovely to me. As for ppl crowding/stalking the guests, I saw Christopher being surrounded by some ppl at Sat night so I never bothered to get up to him then. Just said hi when he passed by me etc..I did not have any need to stalk them. As for ppl commenting on Kiowa and Charlie. I also heard Kiowa was tired...jet lag is a bitch! Yes I know that full well myself so that explains why he was not as outgoing as say many of the other guests...I thought he was absolutely lovely at our table at the drinks reception though. Very sweet guy. Charlie, he cracks me up, he is full of BS sometimes and I mean that in a GOOD way. He joked around alot and he was genuinly honest at the guest encounter I was in the guest encounter when he said he was low on blood sugar, he had been "foolish" to go to the gym there and working out and not eating afterwards. I told him "get some food!" as the encounter ended lol. It started slow to break the ice kinda bit but when ppl felt more comfy he was on top form LOL. Thanks to Charlie I wil never look at James Bond the same again..LMFAO. So no complaints about Charlie for me, he was funny and charming too. As for the author Richelle Mead I have never heard of her and I told her so too at the book signing, she said "Oh now I feel the pressure..hope you enjoy the book!" lol. She seemed sweet to me. Wish I could tell her I AM enjoying the book but slightly confused about what it is all about (apart that it's about vamps!). As for those ppl who have encountered bad staff and being told to change..wtf? I'd kick up a stink if that had happened to me! NO way I'd be paying the prices at the hotel and being told to go change just cos you wore slippers and having housekeeping staff blocking my room entry..I'd tell them off AND demanded to speak to their supervisor! That is just NOT how you treat hotel guests period! I had to wait at the bar for almost 45 for a drink but they told me they were waiting for a fresh batch of whipped cream...I ordered an Irish Coffee LOL. The bar staff was nice enough. Upon checkin I was offered a choice of smoking and non smoking room, the lady asked me how close to the lift I wanted to be and even on which floor I wanted to be! I was floored lol. I had also done a mistake in my booking so they had me checking in on the Thursday..not the Friday. I was embarrassed of course with that stupidity but when I got my bill they never charged me for that night..That was cool!
  20. Peter also have a current TV show in US, Nurse Jackie. I was LOUD when he was announced, I finally get to meet a Cullen on these things. Can't wait to meet Peter, he seems like a laugh!
  21. With the exception of Taylor, with Alex announced now then I've met all the wolves! Can't wait to meet him :-).
  22. I too look fwd to meet him, can't wait to ask him how it was working with Dakota for instance :-). Also when I have met him, I'll have met almost all of the Volturi, very cool!
  23. Here is my feedback on an overall amazing weekend! Personally I found the venue a bit too big..it is confusing to find stuff and it was also hard to figure out where things was. I know they had monitors up but they weren't always updated and just had the general info...had to ask several times where the guest ecounters were etc and also a bit diff to find the registration desk when I registered. So a bit too big, a middle ground between Park Inn and Hilton Metropole, Birmingham would be reat..if there is a venue somewhere between those sized hotels that is. Also with Park Inn it's more central and easy to get necessities if you forget stuff at home. The Hilton has ridiculous prices. Also in some areas, the AC must have been turned on full blast or something...FREEZING cold, poor Tinsel Korey was VERY cold it seemed in the autograph room. That was too cold. Gotta say that the Twilight food court was ok though...not to bad prices for food and what you got was ok but maybe see if there is any possibility to make sure you have food to buy for vegans too? (I am not a vegan but many are). The Gold Drinks reception. A bit unorganized IMO. Yes all the guests did get to my table but Tinsel Korey got cut off! She was at my table for like 5 min time. Not the poor girl's fault who told us...but something with the orginzation perhaps. Also EXTREMELY hard to hear what the guests did say. It all kinda was in a blur, I did enjoy the drinks and snacks..nice with some cake too so that was a plus. The dealers room: I don't really have any complaints but the author Richelle Mead was suppose to sign her books in there..and if she had we'd have the chance to take pics with her. She was moved into the autograph room at the last minute and thus no pic taken. Couldn't that been arranged otherwise so she could have stayed in the dealers room? It would have been a nice option for a photograph with her..or a seperate photo session with her like with the other guests? Guests: No complaints whatsoever, they were all lovely, poor Kiowa seemed very tired though...jetlag really is a bitch! My fave guy overall has to be Christopher Heyerdahl..how can someone who plays such creepy characters on screen be so sweet and funny? Also they seemed to have a thing for playing musical chairs of sorts...LMAO! Funny stuff. Guest encounters: NO complaints whatsoever...I got into 3 of them and enjoyed it. Not sure if the lists could have been placed in a more accessible way or not..but don't have any complaints really. Parties: I think they went ok, gotta say a bit TOO heavy with the smoke effects though...maybe cut down on that a bit... Music wise...well some cool stuff and some stuff I didn't care for (techno) but it has to be for everyone so no complaints really. Attendees: no complaints whatsoever...All I met and hung out with was lovely, fun and easy to chat with.
  24. I'll hopefully NOT be as drunk as I was on Fri night at ET2... I am taking Rachelle Lefevre's advice to me to heart LOL.
  25. You guys did not have to share this with us but man this was fun to read! Thanks for sharing this, and it cannot be cheap to run a con like ET either..I do like the fact you are optimistic about getting ALL the Twi cast to atleast one con..that is amazing if all of them end up to be a guest on one con or another. I just er..shudder at the massive screems when the "big three" are annonced although it would be cool if they were. Jason you do realize you take a risk with saying you got Rob's mobile number? Also Rob got at least 2 mobiles going from pap pics LOL. So to which phone? He has an Iphone and some other phone LOL! JK And finally I get it that this kind of work is a lifestyle..there seems to be alot of hard work and headaches involved here as well as fun and party. I hope that ET3 and ET4 will be a huge success for ya, if the guests and events for ET3 is anything to go by they will :-). And thanks to Gemma for nagging SM to do these lol.
