So go and talk to your local Borders and see if they are one of the participating locations. However, given our past experience with these things, give it until the weekend and “the memo” getting to all employees.

Charlie Bewley Q&A Wrap Up and Contest!
February 2, 2010
Alphie here chiming in, as promised, on what happened at Charlie Bewley’s Q & A panel on Sunday at the Official Twilight Convention in Nashville. This story actually goes back a few conventions to the point where Charlie started talking about the amazing abilities the Volturi have and how he would love for them to really show off just how strong they are. He referred to his own character as a super version of himself, or rather Super Demetri. We loved it and laughed and tweeted about it. Then at the next convention, he went off on a similar tangent about Super Demetri. After the third time hearing him talk about it in Miami, Be My Escape said we simply had to make him a “Super Demetri” t-shirt. She spent the evening manipulating the Volturi logo to add an S and a D with the words “Super Demetri” underneath. The plan was to eventually give it to him at a future convention that BME and I both attended.

Muse Thanks Twilight for their American Break
February 2, 2010
Gigwise has a feature up on one of the most popular Twilight Saga bands, Muse. The focus is on how the band hadn’t been able to really break into the American music scene until they were added to the Twilight and New Moon soundtracks. Bassist Chris Wolstenholme told Gigwise, “The next thing you know, it’s Twilight fever. It’s good because it has made a difference for us in trying to break into America.” The band will be playing six concerts in the US very soon with a performance at Madison Square Gardens on March 5th. Read the whole story and see a slide show of images from Muse performing live over at Gigwise.

Singapore University – Nanyang Technological University Students Survey on Twilight & Twilight Fans
February 1, 2010
There’s no need to tell the regular readers of this blog that Twilight is a worldwide phenomena. Well, now it’s your chance to help some fellow Twilighters out. Twilight Singapore (the blog that brought us all that FABULOUS footage from the Japan Twilight movie events in 2009) contacted us about university students in Singapore that need your help. Twilight Singapore writes:
“NTU Students have contacted us for their final year assignment. They are doing a study of Twilight (Books & Movies) and its fans. They have prepared a survey for fans to complete anonymously wherever they are in the world.
The results of the survey will not be published in the media but the students have promised to share with us their findings and in turn we will share it with you guys! Here is the link to the Survey .
The university students write:
“Hello! We’re final year NTU students, and we’re conducting a study on Twilight and its fans. We really hope you can help by posting a link to it on the blog. We can also send you the results of our study when we’re done. It should be an interesting read. Below is the template I used when posting to a few other LJ comms and sites, you can just use it on your blog if you want to. Thank you so much for your help!

Ashley Greene: Skateland Clip
February 1, 2010
Ashley Greene co-stars in Skateland with Shiloh Fernandez ( who was actually one of the four finalists for the part of Edward Cullen, according to Catherine Hardwicke.) The film had it’s debut at Sundance. Although many are saying that the script is a bit predicable, the performers, themselves, are getting good reviews such as the one below from The Hollywood Reporter.
“The Sundance Film Festival this year is pitching itself as the place where filmmakers can renew the rebellion against the expected and proudly give birth to brave new ideas. So what’s “Skateland” doing in the Dramatic Competition? For an indie film, it’s very well made, even rather slick, in fact. But what a thoroughly conventional movie it is. “Skateland” is every coming-of-age-after-high-school movie you’ve ever seen with a formulaic plot and well-worn characters.
It probably got shortlisted because several scenes exhibit strong writing and the performances in the main roles are aces. So if nothing else, director Anthony Burns has a solid calling card to show the film industry.”
