Book Embargo

Don’t forget that today is Bella’s Birthday! Head over to the Forks, Washington website, where they have an entire page of Twilight points of interest!

I went to the Stephenie Meyer booksigning at the Barnes and Noble in Burlington Mass on September 11th, 2007.

I will be splitting my review into three parts. This first part will be on general excitement with photos. Next will be more excitement with videos and the final part will be a critical review of the signing itself.

First, the excitement. Well, I got there at 2:30 pm, and there were probably already 20 people in line ahead of me, not counting the 20-30 that had already gotten their red wristbands. There was so much excitement that it was really reallly cool. Many people had dressed in their Twilight shirts. One woman had a Forks Washington t-shirt. I had on the t-shirt I made for work plus my own pin from Forks that my dad got when he rode his bike through there. Books that I had brought were my Twilight, my british Twilight, advance reader’s copy of New Moon and my hardcover Eclipse. This means that I brought a total of 4 books. There was no limit to books for being signed which was very cool, though there was a limit to personal autographs. There were some girls who brought even more than I. shown here…

This was actually one of my chair buddies. We hung out for so long that we became friends. Remember, I got there at 2:30, and we were there until 7:20 when she arrived, through about 8:30 when we got to have her sign our books.

These were my other chair buddies:
Before makeup: and now after makeup, .

Here are some shots of the store, FULL of Twilight fans. Keep in mind that these photos are when people were still milling about, it got much fuller.

Here are some shots of Stephenie from her Q&A section.

This is when we finally got close!!!

I cannot begin to describe how amazing this event was. The people I sat with were Great and the enthusiasm was fantastic. It must be amazing for Stephenie that after only having had books out for two years, she has HUNDREDS of people show up at every signing. I would say there were over 500 people inside, not counting the hundred outside.

*cheers to Stephenie!!!*

All of my photos are on my Flickr page.

Okay, so I’ll admit it. I have been trying to find the first chapter of Eclipse so that I can post it here for you. To no avail.

This is what I did find out. There was NO LAYDOWN for the Special Edition of New Moon. I understand that people were saying there was one for May 5th. Yeah, no. This information was gained from Andy S. at Little Brown’s customer service.

That said, I believe that there are still restrictions on when the first chapter of Eclipse can be posted online. Stephenie will be the first to legitimately post it on her site, www.stepheniemeyer.com. So continue to check there!

And I was searching Youtube and found this. Enjoy!

(First. If you are looking for the FIRST CHAPTER OF ECLIPSE. It is not here, it is not on the internet. Go to your local bookshop and read it, but rumor is that the first chapter can’t be posted online until July… no idea why. If it does get posted, I bet Stephenie is the one who will do that. Anyways, now the post!)

Did you know about the prom?

Stephenie Meyer hosted a Prom in Phoenix Arizona. Tied in with New Moon’s Special Edition (which includes the first chapter of Eclipse as well as other goodies), the prom was filled to the max. Stephenie read the first chapter of Eclipse, there were Twilight Teez for sale, photos, and contests for the best Bella and Edward, among others.

Here is Stephenie Meyer with the boys who were Jacob and Edward. As it says on my Flickr Page, this image is from www.ravenclaw.us/phoenix_prom_pictures.htm. Definitely go there for even MORE great photos!

I am sure that I mentioned the Lexicon to you all before. The Twilight Lexicon is a great collection site for everything Twilight. There is a report of the prom there, and here is a quote,

After she finished reading, she thanked everyone who helped to put the event together and then said that she could see that most people had come “stag” to the prom. A fast look around the room confirmed that as there were maybe 10 boys present who weren’t someone’s dad. So, Stephenie said she brought dates for everyone. From this side door entered “Edward” and “Jacob” both of who really looked the part. Edward proceeded to the stage where he held Stephenie’s hand in his gloved one and gave it a kiss. Not to be outdone Jacob gave her a warm hug.

So that was the prom. There were others around the country; Utah, New Jersey, From sea to shining sea. I hope everyone had a great time, and remember, ECLIPSE August 7th!!!!
