Twilight EyeCon Mother's Day Weekend
So, of course I am totally behind on posting this but it really doesnt matter since you're the only one that reads this, Tia. But anyways... I had a fuckin awesome blast with Tia Mother's Day weekend at EyeCon. Although, we slightly got jipped Saturday night, I think. Here's how the weekend went:
Saturday:
9 AM - Drove to Orlando and took the longest fuckin way to get to the Florida Mall. We accidently took the turnpike a drove back around the Mall of Milenia and finally found the hotel. lol. fun though. & Tia always says that every time she tries to go to the Florida Mall she ends up at the Mall of Milenia. lol. Anyways... stood in line for general admission tickets, took a peek at the game room, Tia met a hottie named Mark, and then we hit up the line for photo op tickets after I bugged Tia.
10:30 AM (more like 11) - Then we hit up the Q&A with Peter Facinelli.
11:30 AM (supposed to be more like 12 - 12:30)- We got a picture with the Cullen Brothers - Jasper (Jackson Rathbone) & Emmett (Kellan Lutz) and that was just awesome. Froggy was in a bad mood because they were running so far behind and was distracted after we came in so I got to hold on to Jackson for a lil bit longer and Tia got to hold on to Kellan (our husbands... in the book of course... wellll... jk). Jackson smelt good *grin*. I have to get a scanner hooked up to my computer and put the pics up later. They were both such sweethearts and after Jackson got Froggy's attention "Hey Froggy!" I got a nice, almost Dont Go glide across my lower back from Jackson, that sent shivers down my spine. I was not happy about the photo though. Of course, the guys looked amazing and my big ear was showing. I was determined to come back Sunday and get better pics. So after the photo ops we had some down time to chill in the game room.
3 PM - Then it was off to Edi Gathegi's Q&A.
4 PM -Then came the autograph session. Tia had gotten a picture of Kellan for an autograph for her friend and I hung back to get a couple pics of Kellan and Jackson signing autographs. Apparently, Kellan was engulfed in his cartoon version of a monkey he was drawing on the table....
6:30 PM - We didnt buy tickets for the Banquet so we went down to the restaurant and ate while Tia decided to mess with me (my back was to the entrance) and act like any of the actors were walking in every couple of minutes.. and I kept falling for it.
9:30 PM - We also didnt get tickets to the concert but I heard enough to know that I wish I did buy tickets. I also saw Edi walk into the concert, right by me, and I hardly noticed... then, after I was slightly bored with Rock Band, I walked out to wait for Tia to come back from the bar (after I stole her drink) and Kellan walks right by me into the game room. Of course, I turned my happy ass right back around and headed in & behind me, a hoard full of girls. So I went back to Rock Band and Kellan (later joined by Peter) played some game on Wii, two tables down from me. And the hoard of girls surrounding them. I'm surprised they could breath!
11:30 PM - It was time for the After Party... so why was there barley anybody in the hotel... The gameroom was as empty as when the concert was goin on. Me & Tia walked around thinking they were still chillin in the conference room... nope. So where did everyone go?
Technically Sunday: 1:10 AM - I finally begged Tia to leave and we didnt onto 528 until around 1:30 AM because we got a little lost. Well, ok... I drove way past the 528 ramp and passed a real life "The Fast and The Furious" moment... an entire parking lot of supped up cars was tryin to leave with cops following them and they were hauling ass in every direction. I remember the days when I wanted a car that was all supped up and I wanted to know everything about them... obviously that never happened with the ponti-crap I drive, SO, I stopped in the middle of OBT and let most of these cars just drive off. It's not like the cops could arrest me. I didnt want to get hit! lol But anyways... got home around 2:30 and passed the FUCK out.
Sunday:
8AM - My alarm went off like I wanted it to and I called Tia who said "Give me a half hour" I was more than abliged to do that. I set my alarm and went back to sleep. What I thought was 5 min later, my alarm went off and I called her only to find out that she actually got up when I called so I told her to give me 10 min & Id be there. It was my turn to drive and I had to run by the bank for more cash & then found out I had to run up to my dads house to drop something off. Great. But the best part, he gave me $100! sweet!
9:20 AM - already on 528 and heading to Orlando. Freakin awesome! Had to rush though, this day was short.
10:30 AM - Convention already open and we had to jump in line for our general Sunday & after saying "Hi" to Mark, had to jump in the photo op line for the individual photos with Jackson & Kellan.
11AM - We started with the Individual with Kellan (apparently, no one could find Jackson) and we actually picked up some donuts for Froggy. Tia had a couple drinks with him Sat night and he was sayin how pissed he was and how Sunday would be better cuz less screamin girls. So, we told Manny (head of EyeCon) and he said just drop them off with him and he'd give them to Froggy. When it was our turn with Kellan, we told Froggy right off the bat that we got him some donuts. Kellan perked up and said "Are they Krispy Kream?!" We were like "YEAAA!" & Kellan said "I've always wanted to work there." It was very interesting. But Froggy said thanks about the donuts, we told him Manny was keeping them safe, and we headed back around for Jackson's photo op. Apparently, he still hadnt been found so we wandered over to the game room.
12 PM - I played a couple songs on Rock Band (which I now really want to buy) and then we hoped back over to the photo op room where we waited with, and talked to, other obsessed fans. We also got our photo of Kellan that was developed already.
As the group photos died down, Jackson's line started to creep up to the front (they found him). As this was happening, Kellan slipped out. But not unseen by us.
(crappy phone photo w/e)
We went and took our photo with Jackson, and I swear, I got a double take from him and an exceptionally long "Heyyyy" from him. Oh so dreamy.
1PM - Then we had to go ahead and go into Jackson's Q&A. He only had a couple girls after us and it wouldnt take long. Tia sat with me for a little bit but she had already wanted to just hang out in the game room for these Q&As. Which I was slightly happy because, I got a little fangirl-ish while I was there. I couldnt help it! Found out where everyone went Sat night too. Apparently, I was not told this & it wasnt on the damn schedule but the after party was at Ruby Tuesdays (one of my fav restaurants) with 100 Monkeys, Jackson, & Kellan & we missed it. Damn! And while I was there, Kellan popped into the game room right before he went on, while Tia was in there, and talked to her for a lil bit. LUCKY.
2PM - Right after Jackson's was Kellan's and he was just hysterical! I loved it. Once again, I went fangirl-ish. He told us to check out a new movie coming out that he is in, Warrior. Ashley Greene is also in it. He teased us a little bit though. He said, and I quote, " You have to check it out. I'm all sweaty. I just get out of the shower." By now the whole room is full of screams and whoots and hollars and the host is like "Ok, ok, you are getting them too excited, calm down now." And to add to that, Kellan goes "I'm full frontal!" We ALL start screaming at this point. We were worse than 12 year olds around the Jonas Brothers! It was that bad. But damn! I would LOVE to see Kellan full frontal. Show me whatchya workin wit! lol. But, unfortunetly, he added, "Just kidding." damn. And while I was in there, Jackson was in the vendor room gettin another tattoo and Tia walked in there and saw him... once again.... LUCKY!
well after that, I had to bring Tia back, who had to pick up her friend from work and go back out there to talk to Mike about Battle-con for them to be in costume for. Luckies! Anyways... I guess as soon as they got there, Kellan and Jackson had to haul ass to the airport and Tia helped Manny pack up the van for them to go. Well, Manny forgot his camera, so, he borrowed Tia's. And the out come were these. (YES Tia, I stole them.)
Now that is a profession I need to get into!
Anyways, awesome weekend. Had fun. Spent way too much. Now I'm OFFICIALLY & UNREVOCABLY broke as FUCK! But my mom was jealous of me & thinks they are just hot as fuck! lol I dont blame her! But anyways... had fun, cant wait till September, Edi's already comin back and the tattoo artist is gonna be there again. Hopefully I'll have a job and money to get a tat while Im there. It'll hurt like hell but I can say "I got this tattoo done while at the Twilight EyeCon Sept 09!" lol hopefully. One can only dream.
All in all... I'm jealous of Tia, and I wish I couldve talked to these guys more other than "hey, hows it goin - *cheese* click - done"
One more thing...
