Chronicles of a Girl Starting Over

A long time ago, all the way back in 2007, there was an indie movie called Twilight in which these strange fans showed up to. The movie featured small named actors, along with this little known book series, by this little known author.  Yet, it had fans.  And then it blew up.

People have been camped out at L.A. Live for four days in order to get a spot along the red carpet. Four.  I love Twilight, but holy diehards Batman!  (Check out how Summit organized it. Yes! It made a website for fans!) Last year MTV streamed live from the red carpet of New Moon, which was both a success and disaster (because you never know what will happen when you put a guest host in front of a camera and let her plug her song every thirty seconds).  This year, for Eclipse, there are at least a half dozen different ways to watch the run carpet…complete with cast interviews. This doesn’t even begin to include the fan sites which are there as press.  These are the ones I’m aware of:

MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/twilight/#pm_cmp_con_ent_ftop_eclipse_stream

As two of the fan sites* who are there are press, will be interview(but not streaming) and will tweet updates:

It’s going to be insanity.  I actually have a date with the gym (I fell asleep, should have gone earlier!) so I’ll miss some of it, but it’s no biggie.  This is more just so nuts. I mean, before Twilight did media ever livestream, let alone this many?  It’s like the world of entertainment is STOPPING for this event! As I’ve been writing this I found out the AP, livestream and ustream are also streaming live, but I’m to lazy to find the links.

So, all I have left to say is WOWZA!  And off to the gym I go!

*I’d like to note that these aren’t just silly fan sites you see all over the place. They all personally have met Stephenie (Lori from TL is a good friend of SM and helped her while she wrote Eclipse!) and communicate with Summit.
