As handler for Stuffie Edward I have been authorized to release the following report

Stuffie Edward arrived on Friday after a very long flight from NH.  Shortly after arrival we were both interviewed for Reelz Channel in the spot for Cullen Boys Anonymous.  After that we moved to registration where we got our first views of how vast this convention was going to be.  Meeting some fantastic fans in the line around us we made some quick friends that we found several times during the convention.  We attended the welcome dinner with appearances from the Hillywood Show and Evil Iguanas along with a Becka and Bailey 2 of the TwiCon partners.  After that it was time to relax in the fantastic hotel room at the Sheraton Dallas.

After waking up early we were ready to go for the first day of convention events.  We were sadly not able to get in for 100 Monkeys autographs however we did go into the vendor hall and meet several event organizers and amazing vendors along with some fans that we met the first day waiting to register.  Attending the Webmasters panel was interesting.  Stuffie Edward commented about learning a great deal from both His Golden Eyes and Twilight Series Theories, also attending was Kaleb Nation and Twilight Moms.  We were in attendance at the CullenBoysAnonymous meet up room where several of his stuffie travel companions; namely another Stuffie Edward, Bella, Alice and Emmett; were up for raffle.  We met some great CBA’s including Kismet and were very popular.  We even had other convention gowers running down from the 37th floor for Cullen-sicles which were in high demand.  After dinner it was time for the 100 Monkeys concert featuring National Rifle and Mitch Hansen.  The openers were FANTASTIC and Stuffie Edward greatly enjoyed rocking out with the other Twihards.  When 100 Monkeys took the stage the yell was almost deafening.  The rocked with a short set featuring a CBA favorite The Monkey Song.  With the Bana-ger in the crowd and everyone dancing it was a wonderful show.

Early morning again on day 3 for pictures with Jackson, Q&A and Autograph signings.  While waiting we met more fans of Jasper/Jackson and of course paused for a photo op (Stuffie Edward can be such a ham).  Stuffie Edward declined to be photographed with Jackson as he wanted to give me my shining moment and we moved on to wait for Q&A.  Press pass got us at 2nd row on the right side of the stage and though short the panel was a lot of fun.  Meeting other press from several other fan sites and local press was a great education.  We were (as press) able to attend the meet and greet where we did get some photos of the cast interacting with their fans.  One CBA member had the night that made her TwiCon experience when she was able to meet Kellan and have him sit next to her.  After that was the Volturi Ball.  Stuffie Edward was in attendance however declined to be photographed again, this time because he was not in costume.  The masks and dresses of all attending were amazing.  We saw Marcus Foster, Bobby Long and Sam Bradley perform an acoustic set and were very impressed.  Personally since I had not seen them before I think I have some new CD’s to purchase.  There was an additional meet and greet table with all three that we attended and got some pictures however since the lack of costume Stuffie Edward did not appear again.  After that returning to our room for another 3 hours of sleep till the next day.

Sunday morning was the hectic check out and good byes and then coffee with Jackson event.  After a wonderful Q&A (thank you Jackson for the time it was great) the moderators told us to look and see if there was a star on the bottom of our chairs.  Stuffie Edward was that lucky recipient though he gave up that honor to CBA’s biggest Jackson fan Jess, upon which she got her Twilight book with a personalized autograph.  After that of course it was the sad time of saying goodbye to all our new friends and old ones alike, wishing all safe travel back home.

Personally I would like to add that working with Stuffie Edward is a great experience and a wonderful ice-breaker when you have no idea what to say.  Please let me know what you think of his interactions and what else you would like to see.
