Devon Jones was kind enough to send us her fan report from TwiCon! We posted her pics from the 100 Monkeys TwiCon concert in an earlier post. Click HERE to see them.
She was part of a big group of girls that went to TwiCon together and had a great time!!! Here is her report:
Thursday was registration and the welcome reception…kind of a slow day.
Friday was all of the breakout sessions, including a Quileute storyteller…she was amazing! It was also the 100 Monkeys concert…they were AMAZING! Friday night, my friends and I went out to Ghostbar. When we got there, we found out that Samantha Ronson was the DJ so we walked up to the DJ booth to get pics of her….that’s when we saw Kellan standing right behind her! He was just chilling, texting most of the time. He walked off the booth for a little bit. My friend Jennifer was coming out of the bathroom, and almost ran right into him. So she chatted with him for a bit, and when we saw her talking to him, I walked over to say hi too. He is absolutely adorable, and couldn’t have been nicer! He let us take pics with him, when I put my arm around him, and he did the same, and then he pulled me so close and tight it very literally almost pulled me off my feet! We took our picture, he kissed me on the cheek, and I told him thank you!! Highlight of the weekend.
Saturday was all the celeb stuff at TwiCon. The photo and autograph sessions, and the Q and A. I had my photo with Alex Meraz. I had initially signed up for Ashley Greene, but she had a commitment that forced her out of the Con. Also, FYI, Mike Welch was under the weather…so everyone who had Ashley and Mike got transferred to Alex. I have to admit I wasn’t that disappointed, because he is such a Hottie McHotterson. Anyway, I walked into the little area for the pic, and I held my hand for a handshake. Meanwhile, he held his hands out for a hug. So, to maximize weirdness, I held my hands out for a hug, and he switched to one hand for a handshake. So we were doing this strange little switcharoo with our hands because we could decide if we were going to hug or shake hands, and he said, “Whatever! Come here!” and gave me a HUGE hug…all the way around the body. He squeezed me so hard that his fingers are visibly pressed into my arm! We are both cheesing and laughing so hard in the picture.
Then we had the Q and A. Peter Facinelli is such a charmer! He’s got a great sense of humor, despite no sleep the night before. In fact, at one point, he acted like he was going to throw a paper airplane, but instead grabbed it and ran all the way to the back of the room with it, right down the aisle we were sitting on! He remarked, “That was terrifying!” There was a huge megatron/screen thing behind them so that the people in the back could see well. During the Q and A I was more glad than during any other time of the Con that I had brought my good camera gear!!
Immediately after was the autograph sessions. I had signed up for Kellan and Peter. The lines were double the length of the huge room, so by the time I got to both of the guys, I could tell they were kind of spent. They were being wonderful about it though…still smiling the whole way through. So, of course, I asked Kellan if he had as much fun as we did last night at Ghostbar. I doubt he could have…assuming he didn’t see one of his biggest celeb crushes and have his picture taken with her. He said he had fun, and thought Samantha Ronson was amazing, which I agreed with. Then I totally let his hawtness overtake me, and I couldn’t say anything else. Hmmmm.
The Manic Panic Twilight girl (the girl in the pic with body paint that looks sort of like tattoos) was kind of a walking advertisement for the Manic Panic makeup people. They were ‘Cullenizing’ people, making their skin white with shadows under their eyes. They were also doing painted on masks for the masquerade ball and Twilight faux tattoos. There are pics of me and my friends with the cast of the always hilarious Hillywood Show. The pics of the masks are my fave…I hand painted and made every single one of them for our group of friends…there is an up-close of me and my friend Amy. Mine is the Breaking Dawn inspired mask, and hers is of Edward and Bella in the forest where she tells him that she knows he’s a vampire. The group shot is with the reporter from the Reelz Channel. She did a full interview with me about all of our masks and what they were inspired by, which will air on the Reelz Channel (Dish 299) next Monday at 9pm Central!
Sunday was the final day, and was also the day of the Jackson Rathbone Coffee Chat.. It was an hour long session with him, where one of the ladies from Twilight Moms and the head of the Official Twilight Myspace (or Facebook…don’t remember) were the MCs. He was great…hilarious. Really funny, dry sense of humor with lots of puns. He even made reference to the fact that he belonged in the ‘punitentiary’…LOL. He used his hands a lot when he spoke, and made a lot of jokes. He also said the word ‘dirty’ a lot, which was ok with me
His family was there sitting at one of the back tables. They did a random choosing of 25 fans for a free autograph by putting star shaped sticky notes underneath chairs. I wasn’t one of the lucky ones to receive a star, but there were sure some excited girls!!
