Breaking Dawn Concert Series

Last night, I went to the Breaking Dawn Concert Series at Royce Hall on the UCLA campus with a friend of mine and her cousin. It was really fun...mostly to see and hear Stephenie talk and to see what she's like in person. There was a cool Q&A session, and the singer from Blue October, Justin Furstenfeld performed a few songs for us. I love acoustic music. It's so cool to see/hear the raw talent! We got to have Stephenie sign our books, and briefly said hello and thank you to her...well, Jenny said a bit more, but it was really fun. Like Stephenie, I am a mom of 3 boys myself (as are quite a few of my friends...) and I couldn't help feeling kind of sorry for her that she wasn't at home with her family, but instead was out visiting with 1800 crazy fans! She's a trooper...I don't know if I could do it. Anyway...it was really cool, and so I wanted to share with the rest of you...luckily someone posted most of it on youtube already, so here are the links! Enjoy!

For all of you Twilighters out there...

I have a friend who sends me links to articles, clips, etc. about Twilight the movie, and so I thought I'd share a few with you... I particularly liked watching the clip of Rob Pattinson talking about becoming Edward and getting hate mail when he was cast. I think he's going to do a great job!

The Breaking Dawn Concert Series

featuring Stephenie Meyer

with Special Performance by Justin Furstenfeld from Blue October

In less than three years, Stephenie Meyer has become a worldwide publishing phenomenon—writing the internationally bestselling Twilight Saga. To celebrate the release of Breaking Dawn—the fourth and final book in the Saga—Little, Brown and Company invites fans to participate in an evening of story and song with Meyer and singer/songwriter Justin Furstenfeld of Blue October.

(Click here to read the official press release in its entirety.)

The event is designed to give fans a truly unique, one-of-a-kind experience by featuring music that inspired Meyer while writing the Twilight Saga. Music has played such a strong role in the writing of the series that Meyer has created playlists for each novel. Special musical guest Furstenfeld will perform several songs featured on these playlists, including "Sound of Pulling Heaven Down," the platinum-selling "Hate Me", and "Overweight".

The evening will also include a Q&A and autographing with Meyer.

August 7, 2008; 8:00 p.m. (Doors 7:00 p.m.)
Los Angeles, Royce Hall (UCLA)

**Attendees are allowed to bring one Stephenie Meyer book from home (Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse or Breaking Dawn), books will not be sold on-site. Stephenie will only autograph one book per person—no personalizations, exceptions or substitutions. No cameras allowed during the autographing.

Tickets go on-sale at 10:00 a.m. PDT on June 21st online.

It's only $20!!!!

Anyone interested in going with me?? :)

Sidenote: Brad just rolled his eyes at me when he saw what I was posting. Sorry, honey! But I missed both the LA and San Diego book signings because we were in Utah. :( So I was stoked to hear about this!!!
