Twelve Hours Of Twilight!

So I'm a Twilight fan, I'm pretty sure that's not secret.  My sisters, parents and I actually made the trip to Forks over Labor Day weekend a couple of years ago, I think that automatically elevates me out of casual fan status.

Last year when the first Breaking Dawn came out, Heidi and I heard that some of the theaters were doing a marathon, playing each movie before debuting the new one that night.  It was too late to get tickets so we made a deal that we would try to go the next year for the final film.  We were able to get our tickets over Conference weekend. 

The first movie started at noon.  We left my house at around nine and went to breakfast at Denny's with Steven and Paizley.  Xander missed out because he was at school.  We were still a little early after that so we did some Christmas shopping at Target.

We received these fancy commemorative lanyards that let us go in and out of the theater

The theater had a deal that if you bought these special keepsake cups you could have unlimited $1.00 refills.  We bought the Jacob one for my mom since scouts is more important then twelve hours of Twilight and she wasn't able to make it.

 

 

So of course running true to form we ended up sitting next to the most irritating people in the theater.  I'm sad to say that the theater was mostly composed of super fat ladies and shut ins.  Fifteen minutes before the movie started the fattest waddled in and plunked herself and her friend down right next to me.  I knew I was in trouble when she pulled out her knitting needles.  Seriously give me a break, it's dark!  Apparently the two of them couldn't figure out that they weren't in their own living room because they wouldn't shut up.  I'm talking full volume conversations and yelling at the screen.  It was all I could do to restrain my throat punching hand.  After New Moon we'd had enough.  The first three rows had remained empty so we moved up there.  Being closer to the screen was totally worth not having the running commentary.

There were deals on the food at the concession stand.  We were hungry so we decided to get a pizza.  We were thinking we would get something roughly the size of a Pizza Hut personal pan pizza, we were wrong.  This is what we got for $5.00.  Total rip off!! Plus it was fairly gross. After that we called Steven and told him to meet us with Wendy's at 7:00 when Eclipse was over.

We had so much fun.  I'm happy we did it this year, it was a nice way to cap the Twilight franchise for me.   We are going to try to do it again in a couple years when the last Hunger Games movie comes out if anyone is interested in joining us.

 

 Any one that knows me will be surprised to know I kept my narcoleptic tendencies in check and didn't fall asleep even once.
