Road Trip To The First Twilight Fan Convention In Dallas This Summer
Want to show your neighbors and friends you bleed "Twilight" red? You could plan your vacation around Forks, Washington, the real city where Bella and Edward met for the first time. Or you could set your sights for Dallas, Texas, which this summer will host the first TwiCon July 30-August 2.
The brain child of a Meyerverse podcaster, a vlogger and two PR people, TwiCon will gather the devoted masses at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel for a "Twilight" screening, panels on "The Female Role in 'Twilight'" and "Writing To Get Published" (for your mothballed vampire novel), and a Masque Ball to show off your darkness-inspired finery. Stephenie Meyer has not been confirmed as a guest, but several supporting actors from last year's movie will be there including Kellan Lutz (Emmett Cullen), Billy Burke (Charlie Swan) and Mr. Jennie Garth Peter Facinelli (Dr. Carlisle Cullen).
Registration is open now for ages 18+ (or under 18 with a 21-year-old chaperone) at a pricey $255 plus $139/night rates at the Sheraton for the duration. The hotel is slightly closer to Dallas Love Field, home of Southwest Airlines (in fact, their office overlooks the runway!) Once you've been Twilighted out, refuel at La Duni Latin Cafe (4620 McKinney Ave.), an innovative yet filling take on Tex-Mex less than a 10-minute drive away.
