There’s a great account over on Rob Pattinson Online about Rob’s appearance at the Austin Film Festival last night.
After speaking at a presentation for his film How To Be, Rob stuck around and signed fan autographs for people who were inside to hear him, and for people who got stuck waiting outside. See the photos from two lucky Lexiconers below.
So here is where Stephenie’s books are this week:

The movie companion book continues to sell like hotcakes if the Amazon list is any indication. It will not be eligible to be ranked on the NY Times list for two weeks due to their cut-off.
EW had an advance listen to the Twilight soundtrack. They give their opinion song by song of what listeners can expect.
Screenwriter, Melissa Rosenberg, had a seminar at the University of Texas. She discussed Twilight and other projects like Dexter. Here is one attendee’s account.
The cast has signed a poster to raise money for a great cause, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. Earlier this month we reported on a lunch with Taylor Lautner being auctioned off for the same cause.
According to the St. Jude’s site "St. Jude is a place where many doctors send some of their sickest patients and toughest cases. A place where cutting-edge research and revolutionary discoveries happen every day. We’ve built America’s second-largest health-care charity so the science never stops."

TY to Kaitlin for the heads up.

The Movie Fanatic has a story on potential appearances of Twilight cast members on shows like SNL, Ellen, etc.
Fan, The Madchatter, over on Twilight Moms has even organized an letter writing campaign to Lorne Michaels, legendary producer of SNL, in the hopes of making this happen.
According to the Twilight Moms post, (which we like because it involves directly e-mailing something that is highly effective, not a e-petition which show organizers routinely dump because it is so easy to electronically fake signatures) :
1. Send an email on November 1st to any of the following:
SNL
NBC
Lorne Michaels himself at [email protected]If you would like to send emails before the first by all means go ahead but I think if we can get the numbers to exceed a few thousand emails then we’ll get their attention. To get those numbers in just one day, they’d be crazy not to listen!
2. Use "Twilight on SNL" or "Robert Pattinson on SNL" as the subject. I think the only chance we have is if they see the sheer numbers of emails coming in with the same subject line and then open a few out of curiosity. If you’d like to expound on the many virtues of Twilight and Robert Pattinson by all means go ahead!
3. If you would also like to cc your local NBC affiliate that would be awesome as well. This is as grassroots as you can get.
4. Spread the word to everyone you’ve every met in your life! Especially those with Facebook, MySpace and YouTube accounts. Create new threads wherever you can and most importantly….HAVE FUN WITH THIS!
Good Luck out there!!!
