Peter Facinelli Next Stops West Virginia & Atlanta
Posted by Twilight_News - 04/07/09 at 11:07 amPeter Facinelli’s family is going to need a high-tech tracking system to keep track of him. After the vampire baseball event in Portland this weekend, he is going to be moving on to the East Coast. He’s been slated to be at Creation Entertainment’s Atlanta Twi-Tour event for months (which the Lexicon staff is also going to be attending). Now, we have learned that he’s also going to be in West Virginia.
According to The Charlestown Gazette:
“Just like the “Harry Potter” series before it, Stephenie Meyer’s “Twilight” series has achieved something amazing. No, not massive amounts of fans and popularity, though there is that, but it has also gotten thousands of teens and tweens reading.
To celebrate that, Charleston Town Center Mall is hosting a month of “Twilight”-themed events. Though the film will be celebrated, too, the main focus is the book series. The promotion is subtitled “Read … it changes everything!”
Things kick off with a “Twilight” Salute on July 11. This includes the opening of the Twilight Lounge in Center Court and a special meet-and-greet with actor Peter Facinelli — aka Dr. Carlisle Cullen.
The meet-and-greet begins at noon in Center Court. Facinelli will sign autographs and be available for photos. There will be two separate lines — one to have a photo taken and one to get an autograph. The photo op runs $40, and autographs cost $25. A portion of the proceeds goes to Facinelli’s favorite charity, Omnipeace…”

well i dont understand why us fans have to pay him for his autograph,when we can just give the money to the charity ourselves… don’t get me wrong i LOVE twilight but i really just think that it is kinda unfair
yeah your right twilight fan
Well, maybe its to offset the cost to get them to appear os something. it cost them their time and airfare has to be provided and hotel too. I am attending the Nashville convention in Jan. and just hope they get some more to appear, apparently the only Cullen they have so far is Peter and I am thrilled with that but these conventions are very costly and you still pay for autographs and pics (which I will gladly) but Peter is the only Cullen, i hope they are not done with guests, I will be very disappointed. Just because of the enormous cost–not because PETER! I will get me some Carlisle!!!! I am excited.
Man, southern West Virgina? So not fair. I’m 4 hours away in Morgantown. Oh well. I was supposed to meet him during the New Jersey convention, but he dropped out because of scheduling conflicts (Nurse Jackie) but I’ll get to see many other twilight peeps.
Karen,
It depends on which tickets you buy whether or not you pay for autographs at the cons. I have the Gold Pass so autographs are included, but I still have to pay for photo ops. I believe Kellan, Jackson, and Ashley will be at the New Jersey con along with Mike Welch, Justin Chon and Billy Burke. Looking forward to it.
Cheers!

Sabrina, I have the golden ticket too so I guess my autographs are included also, I just hope they get good guests like you have. I have looked forward to having one close enough for so long but only Cullen represented is Carlisle. I am sure to like the wolves but I love the Cullens…..
It is the Charleston Gazette not Charlestown. Here is a link to the mall http://www.charlestontowncenter.com/go/Poolb.cfm?MallID=863&FPURLID=2129967277
Im gonna be kinda close im in georgia right now but soon ill be back in kentucky so maybe ill get to go.. I cant wait!
My daughter and I are going to charleston to see him. We are like an hour away. My poor son as to go too to get an autograph for his girlfriend who is leaving for college on Thursday. I can’t beleive one of them is actually coming to west virginia. not something I ever expected.
Yeah, I was pretty shocked too. We don’t get a lot of celebrities here.
Ahhhhh I wish I could go! I’m in West Virginia, but all the way up in the eastern panhandle. Ha, I just about had a mini stroke when I read “West Virginia” though…nothing EVER happens here!
This is awesome and I will so be there. Does anyone know if his wife is going to be there because I’m an even bigger fan of Jennie Garth and the original Beverly Hills 90210. lmao. but Peter’s cool, too.
I live about an hour from Charleston so I’m really considering going. The price is making me cringe a little though. It may be worth the drive just to catch a glimpse though
woot!! im 13 and i live in charleston westvirginia…im soooooo excited, i just dont really wanna pay 25 or 40 bucks…=/ but im still gonna..wow i never expected Twilight stars to come HERE..lol XD
oh and on the 25th mike welch who plays Mike Newton will be at the Fanpire party…we dont have to pay for his autograph..weird huh?
yea i stood in line for a few hours and he was late and u only got a picture for $40 i think if u had to pay that much u should get an autograph too not to mention the pictures were not that great quality and they were having printer problems :/ It was very unorganized how they handed out the pictures too it was such crayzness.i didnt even get to get mine cause i had to go to work so i have to go back to the mall and get my picture from the office..but i was still excited though to get to meet him
he was so nice when i met him..hes very hot to..lol =]
