Twilight Con-sense: Fan Fests Face Off
Wed., Aug. 19, 2009 8:45 AM PDT by Breanne L. Heldman
And you thought all this Twilight business couldn't possibly get more nauseating…
The romantic vampire film has already taken over San Diego Comic-Con (much to many Con regulars' disapproval) and spawned the fan-built TwiCon earlier this summer. Clearly, this was not enough gathering for all the Robert Pattinson fanggirls in the universe.
Summit Entertainment, which produces the movies, has teamed with event producers Creation Entertainment to put together official Twilight fan conventions. More than 20 of them.
That dippy little Dallas TwiCon just got steamrolled.
The official mega-meetups will include appearances by castmembers, panel discussions, footage screenings, theme parties, auctions, merchandising and more. You know, pretty much all the stuff that was at Comic-Con, only minus the occasional Megan Fox moment.
That sounds all well and good, but wait till you see all the excitement going down at the first one, taking place at the end of August in New Jersey.
