This reminder just in from Cullengirl:

"Twilight is up for the Abraham Lincoln Award in IL- a book award that teens get to pick as their favorite. Teens, teachers, and librarians need to go to their libraries-school and/or public library to see if their libraries are participating in the Abraham Lincoln Award and vote for Twilight! The more people vote, the better! Voting ends Monday, March 3rd."

Peter Facinelli, who is playing Carlisle Cullen in the upcoming Twilight movie,  updated his MySpace answering a few fan questions.  No hard feelings, Peter, for not answering mine 🙂

Also, the people who can’t seem to get beyond typecasting seem to have gotten to Robert Pattinson. Hey Robert, here we’re all about giving you a fair chance!

I just received the following information from Stephenie’s publicist:

"Could you please clarify that the Host tour is announced until the week of March 10th, not the actual 10th…I don’t want the fans to get over anxious. 
 
Also, I saw that there are some upset fans about the cities changing – any information on ARCs are subject to change.  Since ARCs are meant for industry people, this usually isn’t an issue…it was never meant as a confirmed listing of signings."

Stephenie’s website announced today that the details on her Host Sigining Tour would be released on March 10, 2008.  All events will be ticketed events, so look for details on March 10, 2008 and reserve your space immediately so you aren’t faced with a "sold-out" situation.

The tour will start on May 6, and visit the following cities: Minneapolis, Kansas City, Houston, Dallas, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Denver, Portland, Los Angeles and San Diego.

They also mentioned that she would not be doing a large signing tour for Breaking Dawn, so if one of these cities is close to you, don’t miss out on a Stephenie sigining experience.

We don’t have this 100% confirmed (an employee leaked it on the IMDB a couple of weeks ago), but Stephenie will probably be at Thanksgiving Point in Utah on May 16th.

Right now I know the site is running a little slow. Hang in there, things like this happen when you move something as big as the Lexicon.

Just to give you an idea here is the number of hits we have per day:

Feb 21  220,000 (we were down a good portion of the day)
Feb  20 330,000
Feb 19  500,000

Right now (for you tech people)  we are waiting for the DNS to update and and some final moving  of data.

If you want to bookmark things:
The Welcome Page

The Forums
The Cafepress Shop (We just put up some Host themed merchandise so that Lexiconcers can identify each other at signings when dates are released.)
The Amazon Shop  You can find merchandise from books and music written by or recommended by Stephenie here.

Twilightroses gets the credit for the heads up on this one.

Emily Osment of Hannah Montana fame was on The View. She was asked by Elisabeth Hasselbeck if she could recommend any good books and she mentioned Twilight by Stephenie Meyer.  Whoopie Goldberg chimed in to say that she was reading New Moon and loved them.  Who knows, maybe we can get the rest of The View team to read the books and then Stephenie might end up on The View.

On her MySpace blog Stephenie posted a cryptic message that people might want to check out her website tomorrow morning.

Speculation anyone?

Lexiconer Caspiana was at an extra’s casting call the other day.

There was a line around the block with an intense amount of fan girls and a few boys, many were reading the books in line. Once we all got a number we went into this huge room and they called us in groups of about 20. Being 742, I was there for a VERY long time. Still fun all the same. Around about 3 a guy named Danny came in to give us the low down and let us ask a few questions. They are in desperate need of a 1992 silverado truck and were asking for it. Might be Bella’s truck I don’t know, but Bella’s was much older, but that is a mighty specific truck to be looking for.

Some of the scenes are to be shot in a warehouse in Clackamas, that has no windows or anything to sneek anyone on set (drat). They also were hinting that most of the extras were to be used in as high school students (Shocking.) They already cast all the vampires (cause one little girl asked about being a vampire…which we know none exist in the movie….). and said that filming begins on the 27th or 28th and goes on for about 7 weeks. They said before that they wanted older crappy cars which, thank goodness, I have. But they said that newer cars would be needed for the prom scene? They needed a lot of extras and people can still apply online, but the hoard of people who showed up today would get priority.

I’ll let you know if I get any more info and if I get the call ^.^

I think the easiest way to explain where things have moved is a Q&A. Feel free to post this verbatim anywhere anyone wants.

Q: Where will my front page daily news from the Twilight Lexicon staff be found?

A: As some of you have noticed, we have a slightly different URL www.twilightlexicon.com. The daily news, characters bios, personal correspondence, etc. Will now be found at this URL.

Some links are not working within things like character bios and mythology etc. Don’t worry, all the old information is here, it just has to be renamed. Right now certain links point back to the former URL. This is what the admins will be doing over the next month or so.

Until we relink everything back up, if you are really dying to find a specific post use the search function that we added and it should(in theory) find the file. Alternatively, you’ll notice the archive feature that has been added. If you know the approximate date that information was originally added, you can find the item by looking through that month’s archives. All-in-all the site is mostly functional.

Q: Where will the forums be for book and movie discussion?

A: At the moment they are found at www.twilightlexicon.com/Message_Boards/, but in a few days they will move to www.twilightlexiconforum.com

Q: So what happened to just plain old www.twilightlexicon.com?

A: Good question. The ownership of that name currently belongs to our former tech person. We are waiting for him to give/sell us the name that we have been using for over two years. Our plans are to turn it into a nice looking welcome page with links to take you to the newsblog, forums, store, chat, wherever.
