Twilight Eclipse Premiere Part 1 - from chaos to tents...

I was going to type out an entire story here...but then I realized something. You don't REALLY want to hear my story...you just want to see the pictures! Let's just point out a few key words...


1. Security - I hope that LA Live and/or Summit really paid attention to how security handled the stampede that happened on 6/21. I get it, we weren't officially supposed to be in line...but telling fans "...for all I know it'll be a mad dash" isn't exactly setting the right example. 'Nuff said.



2. Rules are rules...or are they? - interesting things happened...not really gonna comment on it but those of you who know, know. Anyway, the rule I'm talking about is the "once banded, he/she may choose to leave and come back on the day of the event, 6/24 during designated time". Yes, this was Summit's original rule. Without it, I wouldn't have even tried. There's just no way that #1 my husband and #2 work would allow me to camp out for 4 days straight. at 5:30am someone changed the rules. Thankfully, my Twi-sistas (suck it!) allowed me to come and go and in turn, I helped feed them and hung out as often as I could, including 1 sleepless night on Chick Hearn Avenue in front of Staples Center.

3. Twi-cast rocks my socks - I read all about the Twi-cast who came to Tent City on 6/23 and immediately they made me all warm and fuzzy. These guys don't really NEED to do this...they WANT to do this; and thankfully I was able to meet Charlie Bewley (oh my wow...'nuff said) and see Kiowa Gordon wake up a few gals at 1:30am.






4. Signs are evil - when we arrived into our little cattle cage, we were plagued by signs and the Wall of Rob, the 8th Wonder of the World. Thankfully these gals were lovely and no longer held those signs up when the carpet started to fill up.
5. Rob is hot - 'nuff said.



6. Sometimes people surprise you - after the carpet emptied out we noticed people running and had no idea what was going on. We then found out that the first 500 people to receive tickets were GOING TO SEE ECLIPSE with the cast!! Immediately we sprawled out to see if we could get tickets...only to see that our fate was in the hands of the one security guard to truly despised our little group. Earlier that morning I calmly and nicely asked him a question and he seemed ok with me...but others, they had issues. So I believed there was NO WAY we'd get in...that is until he saw me...walked right over to me met by my "please?" and he asked me how many in our group. He handed me 5 tickets and WE WERE IN! That's right...we saw Eclipse 1 week before it's due out in theaters...WITH THE CAST!! I breathed diluted Rob Pattinson air for 2 hours while watching the best film of the saga (so far)!



7. Rob is hot - oh, nothing more...just wanted to say it ;)
