Twilight Teez Apple Hunt Contest – Win a Twilight DVD signed by Kellan Lutz and Gil Birmingham

categories Contests, The Store, Twilight Books    

Hey, everyone!  I know, I know, I’ve been lax in my duties at reporting stuff here.  But I think after tonight’s announcement, you will forgive us.  We’re giving away a Twilight 2-Disc Special Edition DVD from Hot Topic.  But this isn’t just ANY Twilight 2-Disc Special Edition DVD from Hot Topic, this one has been signed by Kellan Lutz and Gil Birmingham!  That’s right, folks!  Emmett Cullen and Billy Black have had their hands all over this DVD package.  And it could be yours!  Imagine, you could be holding in your hands the very same DVDs that Kellan Lutz did.

This is how the contest will work, in a nutshell.

  1.  Scattered throughout the TwilightTeez.com web site are Edward Cullen Fan Club apples.  The apples are unique in that each one is colored differently.  Find these apples.  They could be anywhere, so you’ll have to actually hunt them down (thus the name of the contest).  Each apple has a code associated with it.  The code appears underneath the apple.  As you find each apple, write down the code that goes with it.
     
  2. Purchase at least $20.00 in merchandise from our store.  Retain your Order ID as you will need this to enter the contest.  Your order must take place between 12:00 AM MST April 27 and 11:59 PM MST May 10.  Previous orders from our store are not elligible.
     
  3. Go to http://www.twilightteez.com/pages.php?pageid=14, read the official rules and conditions PDF file that is available there, and then enter in your information.  You must fill in ALL fields on the contest entry form.  You must also inform us if you are an adult or a minor 13 years of age or older and have the consent of a parent or guardian to enter the contest. 

A random drawing of all eligible entries will be held and video recorded at noon MST on May 12.  The winner will be notified by e-mail and will have 48 hours to respond.  24-horus after notifying the winner, we will post the video of the draing on our YouTube channel.  If we do not hear from the winning entrant within 48-hours, we will cancel that winning entry and hold another drawing.

The contest rules and conditions and the contest submission form can be found on our web site at http://www.twilightteez.com/pages.php?pageid=14.  We’re really excited about this contest, and hope you guys have a lot of fun looking around for the apples.  Good luck to everyone!

AccioCon Day 2

categories Conventions, Twilight Books    

Well, today starts off Day 2 of the AccioCon Twilight/Harry Potter fan conference.  Yesterday was a lot of fun, but as it goes with most of these conferences, it was a little slow due to the day being Friday.  Today (Saturday) is by far much more busy.  But before I tell you about today, let me sum up yesterday’s experience.

First I woudl like to say just how cordial everyone is being to each other.  It’s amazing how easily we can all get along together.  There’s definitely people who favor one or the other of the two camps, but most of the people here are huge fans of both stories.   I was part of a panel which debated the whole Harry Potter vs. Twilight thing.  It was a lot of fun and everyone did a very good job with their opinions and supporting their respective sides.  Any fears that this was going to turn into an avenue for Twilighter abuse were allayed within minutes of the event starting.  It’s been a load of fun for all involved.

Yesterday there were photo ops with Kellan Lutz and Gil Birmingham.  We met them briefly at a dinner last night.  They are both very nice folks and very fun.  I have photos, but I’m having trouble posting them at the moment, so I’ll have to try to upload them later.

One of the really great guests here is the crew from The Hillywood Show.  If you don’t know who they are, check out their web site over at www.thehillywoodshow.com.  They have created, among many other incredible parodies (one involving Capt. Sparrow flying around in the DeLorean from Back to the Future), a Twilight parody that is just drop-dead hillarious.  It’s set to Katy Perry’s Hot and Cold and a lot of the comments I’ve been hearing is that these girls (and guys) nail the parts of Bella, Edward, Alice, and Jasper even better than the actors themselves.  Check them out!

Today we had the pleasure of meeting Kellan Lutz and Gil Birmingham – Emmett Cullen and Billy Black respectively.  If you ever heard rumors about these two that they are nice and funny and charming peopel, believe them.  These guys were very cool, even when a friend of mine bugged Gil about his smoking habit (I did not know my friend during that time).  Pictures from our meeting will be posted later.  We had the opportunity to give Kellan our Emmett cap and beanie, as well as our new Renegade Human shirt (Emmett’s shirt is not currently available in men’s sizes).  Gil received our Jacob Lover cap and beanie as well as our newly minted My House…My Rules shirt.  Both actors appreciated the gifts very much. 

We have one more day worth of events for the show, and today isn’t done yet, either.  Keep your eye here for more updates.

Commence Operation AccioCon

categories Conventions, Twilight Books    

This morning we are in Orlando, FL prepping to start what we expect to be an exciting first day of the AccioCon Twilight/Harry Potter fan convention. There’s not much to report, just yet, except for the fact that Daymond, our on-staff artist, and I had a grand time at Walt Disney World yesterday. Kellan Lutz and Gil Birmingham were picked up from the airport yesterday (from my understanding) and are here in the hotel with us (we are on the same floor as they are). We are excited, nervous, happy, and stressed all at the same time. It’s a weird combination, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. More later…

UPDATE:  Well, I misspoke myself a bit.  It turns out Kellan and Gil are not staying at the same hotel we are.  There was a last minute change in that arrangement.  That’s okay, though.  We’re still on the 12th floor of the hotel, and let me tell you, it’s AWESOME!
