Comic-Con 2009 & Twilight Extravaganza...

Yes, another throwback to 2009. Hey, can I be faulted for talking about something old if I didn't have a blog back then? Plus, there are pictures of A LOT of the New Moon gang...Robert Pattinson ::nummy::, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner ::still 17::, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed, Billy Burke, Peter Facinelli, Rachelle LeFevre, Elizabeth Reaser, Christian Serratos, Michael Welch, Noot Seer, Anna Kendrick, Jamie Campbell Bower, Kiowa Gordon, and Justin Chon. Now if that's not a reason to check this blog out then I don't know what else to bribe entice you with...Johnny Depp perhaps? ;)

To this day...this picture totally makes me giggle. Does Comic-con know Twihards or what?! Well, Twihards and geeks of all kinds, I guess. "No running!", I LOVE IT!!  This was the screen that greeted us once we made our way through security to get into Hall H (after waiting outside for 4 hours; not bad, others waited 2 days). We got as comfy as we could (those chairs hurt the patootie) and settled in for 3 hours of fluff before the New Moon Panel. 

Fluff may be a harsh word...cuz it was anything but fluff (well, sometimes), particularly when we were surprised by a visit from Johnny Depp (can I just say...the room was DEAFENING when this man walked out on-stage, I mean, come on...a room filled with mostly Twihards who are women...DEAFENING). Also caught of glimpse of Freddie Highmore (I swear I kept saying, OMG he's so big and look hw cute he is over and over again) and Kristen Bell (who I think might give Reese Witherspoon a run for her "All American Sweetheart" title).


And then, that's when it happened...FINALLY the last part of the Summit portion of Comic-Con...THEY were coming out! Amid the screams of elation and groans of men and other non-Twihards...they emerged from the side of the stage. Ashley, Kristen, Taylor, Rob and Chris. I have to admit, I wanted more people up there cuz I had heard that most of the cast was going to be in San Diego.


Forgot to mention 1 thing...the hubs and I were in the middle of the HUGE room so picture taking was a little tricky. Thankfully my hubs (have I mentioned how patient he is?) bought me an amazing camera and took over picture taking duty to let me revel in the experience of it all. I swear I turned to him and flatly said, "Take as many pictures of Rob as you can", and can you believe it? He did! I had to giggle though cuz as many pictures of Rob that he took for me, there was always 1 picture of Ashley...who can blame him? She's gorgeous! So here are a bunch of pics that the hubs took for me...isn't he amazing?



Oh, am I missing someone?!  Oh that's right...Robert Pattinson ::nummy:: enjoy ;)


I loved these pics...the first one looks like someone asked Rob and Taylor a really hard math question.  Now, this may just be me, but when I look at the second pic I think it totally epitomizes the dynamic between Edward and Jacob...LOL! Maybe it's just me?


It's amazing to me how this man just doesn't get that he's soooooo wow. He's so unassuming and goofballish...it's GREAT!! When he fumbles, makes jokes at his own expense, or makes weird faces...makes me gush over him even more.


After the mass exodus from Hall H (the regular Comic-connies were HAPPY to see us go...they complained about us EVERYWHERE!) we headed to the theater in the Gaslamp district to wait in line (for another 5 hours) to watch Twilight and see some of the cast. Now of course by the time we got into the theater at 9:30 (!!!) Rob and Kristen had already left. I entered the theater just in time to hear the squeels and feel the push of overexcited people before I saw Taylor Lautner bounding down the stairs to leave. That meant the principal players were gone...but that wasn't going to stop me from having a good time! We were the LAST theater seated...so BIG HUGS to those cast members that stuck through it...we love them!!  Again, apologize for the pictures...a movie theater doesn't exactly have the best lighting...so, they are what they are.

So, there ya have it...a look back to July 2009. You didn't even need a time machine!! ;)

I promise, I'll have more up-to-date stuff soon...just wanted to share the 2 cool Twilight things I got to do. I'm looking forward to Twi-tour LA in March! :D
