I need to post about the metaphysical fair... and I will .. but today I'm just so excited....

It's official - I'm going to Twicon! Holy Schnikies! Yeah, yeah.... I know... we all always sort of smirk about the Trekkies - or whoever else is going to conventions of whatever their particular fandom. But you know what? Why? If it is something you love, you really enjoy, have a passion about and love to share with others - why is a convention something to scoff about? Yes, there are some "crazies" - their whole world evolves around whatever fandom they're in. Extremes are never healthy. But mostly - I would like to think - a convention is just a place where you can get together with other people who share a passion. A place to meet new people, to discuss, to enjoy and just generally have a great time.

And that's what Angie and I are going to do - have a great time! I'm not even sure why I never went to a HP convention? I guess I just didn't know there were any? Maybe they weren't advertised as much as Twicon. Truth be told - if it wasn't for Angie I probably wouldn't know about Twicon. I've always been the bigger HP fan (as oppposed to Twilight). Some of my friends may smirk at that - seeing all the Twilight memorabilia I have at home. But seriously - I love the Twilight saga - but if somebody other than Rob would have been cast as Edward I probably would not be AS nuts about it as I am right now. Nevertheless, this will be a once in a lifetime experience (well.... that's a figure of speech - I may go to other conventions, if I enjoy this) - but you know what I mean. An opportunity presented itself and you just have to grab those. I'm a firm believer that life is all about experiences, of trying new things every now and then - stepping out of your comfort zone sometimes.

To make a long story short - We finally registered! They gave us a last minute incentive (as if we needed one of those... LOL) - if we were registered by the 29th of April we had a chance to get into an exclusive VIP afterparty - with a chance to rub elbows with some of the guests! Unfortunately Angie didn't get in - but I did! OMG! I didn't want to go without her, but she's making me..... LOL...... I'm hoping there is a chance that I can go in for a little bit and then give her my ticket so she can go in. We'll see.

But we are both going to the 100 Monkeys concert - for all of you who don't know (and I didn't until recently) - that's Jackson Rathbone's band!!!! There were only a limited number of tickets and they sold out withing like 30 minutes. I don't know how many times I hit "refresh" on that darn website. And then I was only able to buy ONE ticket - where it said you could buy more than one. So I had to text Angie to ask her password, praying that she would be able to answer. I figured she would have her phone close by, because she wanted to know how the ticket snatching went. But she didn't answer right away! I was sweating bullets, sending another text - "SCREAMING" at her She finally texted back. Then I was so nervous I think I capitalized the password and it didn't work. When I finally got into her account I was so freaked out I think I held my breath the whole time. But then I finally put all my credit card info in and hit "continue" and - tataaaaaa!!!! I had a ticket for her as well. Shortly after that the link went down on the site. So yes... a close call! But yeah... this was Angie's event. So if I had gotten only one ticket - SHE was going in - regardless!!!!!!!

Now it looks like there will be another nailbiter at the horizon. There will be a special, exclusive Q&A with Jackson Rathbone. (I think I need to get some of his other work, to familiarize myself more... LOL) - There will only be 500 tickets, so I'm pretty sure Angie and I both have to hit "refresh" at our respective computers to be able to get in! But again - if we get only one ticket between the two of us - SHE is going in! The cool thing about this one is, that - there will be 25 selected who will get an opportunity to meet him up close and personal!!!! Yeah.... she SO WILL get that!!!!!!

There is also a call for Fanfic - they'll select a winner and they'll get some prices, including a chance to be featured in a little "pamphlet" from Twicon and display on a website. That would be kind of cool, so I'm working on that - as is Angie! I'm not holding my breath - but nothing dared is nothing gained.

Needless to say - can you tell I'm stoked? It'll be a lot of fun - and the only way it could be better is if my BFF could go with as well. "The Twilight girls" united - as we were for the movie premiere! We'll miss you, Cynde - it won't be the same without you !!!!!!
