The Quote of the Day – 7/14/08 – Reposted with Permission

"Tanya: “Ah, Edward. I’ve missed you.”"

Today is the final day that you will be able to post on the discussion thread until after the August 3rd restart date. The archive will be up for anyone of you that need to go and catch up!

Edited: Unrelated to the temporary  closing of our message boards, the database that runs them decided to crash. There is nothing that can be done to fix this until about 5:00est today. Sorry, it’s a case of Murphy’s Law.

A very happy first birthday to Vesperarium the official graphics suppliers of the Twilight Lexicon.  Cornie and crew have done a great job over the past year. Show them some love.

The Quote of the Day – 7/13/08 – Reposted with Permission

Bella: “Oh, Mike! How will I go on?”

Just a reminder the Discussion thread will be open until Monday so enjoy posting while you can.  And to keep you up-to-date on the QOTD check out our archive page.

Empire Books and News at Pullman Square is holding a casting call for their Breaking Dawn Midnight Masquerade Ball! From Bella to Emmett – a few lucky people will have the opportunity to play their favorite Twilight characters for a night of fun. Go check it out.

The New York times has an indepth article that takes a real look at the Character Bella Swan and what makes her tick.

Larry certainly has been busy this week. His newest blog gives us his opinons about the New York Times coverage of Twilight.

The Philippine Daily Inquirer has an article about the Twilight enduced "Vampire Mania." Big thank you to Aileen for letting us know.

Finally …We want to send a big "Congrats!" to Kaleb over at Twilight Guy. He has posted the epilogue which means he has officially finished Twilight. Thanks for sharing all of your thoughts throughout the chapters and we look forward to hearing more throughout the rest of the series.

This story is sort of one of those six degrees of separation type of things. rather than have me explain it, I think it’s best left in Seraphyn’s own words.

So, I’m helping out the Borders in Tallahasee with their Breaking Dawn pre-release events, one of which is a series of book discussions. Today we held the first one and had a great turnout! There was even a very vocal and wonderful Twilight guy! About halfway through the discussion, I was very surprised to see another guy join us. He picked up a copy of Twilight, pulled up a chair, and listened very attentively. We continued going through the book chapter by chapter and I eventually brought up the movie and the similarities and differences there were going to be between the two when the latecomer finally spoke up.

"My little brother is playing Laurent in that," he commented.

After a moment of stunned silence, there was a whole lot of screeching. 😀

This guy who just happened to be in the right store on the right day at the right time and just happened to overhear our discussion group was Edi Gathegi’s older brother. He was incredibly nice and very interested in the whole Twilight phenomenon. He wanted to know what we thought of the book and was fascinated by the groups obsession with the stories. He has yet to read any of the books, but he said he’s heard nothing but good things from Edi about both the series and the movie. He was also kind enough to let us take a picture with him! I don’t think the poor guy knew what he was getting into when he told us who he was!

 

Just goes to show that you never know what might happen! And, if anyone is interested in participating in next week’s New Moon discussion, e-mail me at [email protected] for details! No promises of random famous people, though. 😉

Alice: "I’ll play you for it. Rock, paper, scissors."
Edward: "Why don’t you just tell me who wins?"
Alice: "I do. Excellent."
