Tent City 2012!! (Part 1)


The  most random experience i ever had...After almost 4 months of hard work and saving i made it to L.A,
The whole trip i was with my Twi-Sister Emily :) (the blonde one)

WEDNESDAY: We arrived in L.A on Nov. 7th 1 day before registrations started and we spent the rest of that day with a group of amazing ladies (fellow twihearts) AND MEXICAN FRIENDS!! we had dinner at The Yard House in downtown LA



and then we were DONE... EXHAUSTED so we headed back to our hotel JW Marriott which is right in front of the Nokia Plaza.

THURSDAY: We were ready to start the adventure but since we were in group 6 (the leftovers) we needed to wait til 5:00pm to register and get our camping spot, this year the whole layout was different... there was less space to camp outside the Nokia theater so they added a new camping spot on the parking lot behind the Nokia theater right where the After Party is held.. and we knew that was going to be our spot :( sadly! because we thought we were going to be apart from all the fun... UNTIL this awesome guy from the staff told me that the reason why they left the entire Nokia plaza clean was because all the important events were supposed to happen there, that way everyone had the same chance to enjoy them!! (HURRAH!! JUMPING SCREAMING OF HAPPINESS) I was so happy that even tho we were the last group to register we'd still have the chance to have so much fun (Later i learned Jeff was the name of this guy.. GO TEAM JEFF if you know what i mean ;) ANYWAY.. we waited.. and waited AND WAITED outside the Starbucks for a little while where i had an amazing and awesome moment!!!
Twilight really unites people from all around the world!
I have friends from France to China and then all the way to Brazil :) but my girls!! my favorite girls in the whole world are Gillian and Celine from the French Cover LOL i met them months ago through Facebook, Celine on the right she's my magazine dealer in Europe haha and Gillian... well Gillian is a little angel in this world.
After a couple bear hugs and screams we left to get ready for registration.

Tent City 2012 (Part 2)

I was mentally and physically drained!! I thought i was going to be up at 6:00 am.. OH I WAS SO WRONG...

SATURDAY It was 8:00 am and i still didn't wanted to get up... i was so tired!! and the bed was so warm and comfy :( We got our stuff together and went down to tent city to see what was going on that day :)
As soon as we were inside tent city we knew something was happening... First of all they were putting the stage ready for the concert and then they had a small tent next to it... we knew there was supposed to be a SPECIAL SURPRISE AT 10:00 AM and yes, somehow we knew it was going to be Stephenie Meyer but what happened next.. that we did not expect.



They made us go all the way back.. to leave the entire Nokia Plaza free so the staff could work in getting everything for the concert ready, then we saw her!! FAR FAR AWAY BUT SHE WAS THERE!!
The Queen herself was there to greet the fans or so we thought.
Jessica the lovely staff lady started screaming the rules.. -_- good luck on that, over 1500 fans were waiting to see how this was going to work and then we heard the rules.
RANDOM DRAWING TO GET A PICTURE AND A POSTER SIGNED BY STEPHENIE... RANDOM DRAWIN... random drawing... random drawing..
OH NOT AGAIN!!! first they made that to get your spot for tent city and now AGAIN??
Well those were the rules.. they let groups of 50 fans per drawing and it was from #100 to #150 (example)
so you had to check your wristband every time (by that time i already knew my #) ANYWAY...
1 hour and 5 groups of 50 went by.. Emily was starving so she went to Starbucks and got some cookies with cheese and Serrano Ham to eat (Isn't she lovely) in the meanwhile i went and talk to Jessica who's really awesome and i gave her some Mexican candy.. NO i wasn't trying to buy her... haha and i asked her if they were going to get people from numbers #50 to #100s because they were just letting people from #0's to #50's YES I KNOW YOU DON;T UNDERSTOOD ME SHE DIDN'T EITHER... So i said it again like this: yes like you're letting people from #1400 to #1450 but no one like #950 to #1000 (YES I GAVE HER MY NUMBER) and she said well yes.. but it's all up to the drawing so i don't know.. i went back to sitting on the street eating a cookie with ham and then Jessica screamed.. NUMBER #950 TO #1000 (NOT EVEN FREAKING KIDDING) i swear that's how it happened  and that was the last group to get to know Stephenie Meyer :D we were so lucky and it was so random <3 about 500 fans got a picture with her and a personalized poster signed by her
this is mine 
To Dann Mexico :)

And my picture with her and my friends with the posters :) 



Oh!! Also when we were in line waiting to get our picture with Stephenie Meyer.. 

Christian Serratos showed up to surprise some fans and i was lucky enough to have

a picture with her... KIND OF...


More after the Jumpp!

Pre - Premiere and Hollywood November 12th 2012!

TODAY IS THE DAY!!!

MONDAY We got up super early and met with 2 of our friends at the Starbucks to go to Hollywood and see Rob, Kristen and Taylor's hand prints it was around 7:00 AM we got some coffee and left to the Subway to get the red line or something like that...
NOT MY BEST PICTURE!! IT WAS TOO EARLY!!
Oh and the lady in the middle (Kalise) She washed her hair on a portable toilet!!!! hahaha she's going to hate for this.
Here's a funny story.. we needed to get this plastic cards and then put money in them in order to be able to get in the Subway .. it was $3 round trip + $1 for the card.. and then someone (don't remember who) got the idea of putting all the money in just 1 card so we could save that $1.. and we did that we put $3 each in 1 single card.. Kritzia's card.... She went by first and then when we wanted to use it again IT DIDN'T WORKED!!! It said it was already used ahhh!!! well long story short we bought the damn card $1 each and added $3 extra... the whole trip was $7!!! TOTALLY WORTH IT!!
After 15 minutes or less we arrived at Hollywood and couple steps later.. THERE IT WAS.. Grauman's Chinese Theatre <--- ALL THE PICTURES







It was super early so we just took the pictures and left right away to get something to eat!
On our way to mcdonalds my friends took some pictures of like a tourist <3


I didn't wanted to go to the bathroom right in the middle of the line for the Premiere so i decided not to eat anything that day :S
We went back to downtown LA around 11:00 AM and went to the hotel to change our clothes!
I only changed my shirt... and put my hair straight 

Emilia (Emily) stayed at the hotel that day during the morning cause she already had pictures with the hand prints and when we were just about to head down to the Nokia Plaza we noticed something weird...

RED PANTS AND ANIMAL PRINT SHIRTS!!! haha No, we did not planned that!!
It was a.. SISTER THING <3
Then the most random and weird thing was waiting for us downstairs.. right outside the Nokia Plaza there was this LARGE group of people protesting about Abortion... yes i get it.. i'm against it too but they had this huge banners with very explicit pictures and we had so many kinds in the plaza... they were crying and scared so some of the twi hards asked them to leave.. because it just wasn't the right place to do this kind of things  and as expected all the fans started saying Bella chose love.. Bella kept her baby... THAT was funny... a couple minutes later and the group started leaving.. i mean.. i get it but still it just wasn't right.
It was barely 12:30 PM we took some pictures and waited for time to go by fast...



Some crazy random group of girls were dressed like Kristen Stewart... it was so weird so i took a picture with them LOL JK awesome girls from Mexico PAISANAS! 

After that... well that's a story for another post.. ;)

TO BE CONTINUED...







Breaking Dawn Part 2 Worldwide Premiere in Los Angeles California!! Nov 12th 2012

Ahh!! I didn't thought people would actually want to read my blog O.o well i think the real reason i was doing this it was so i wouldn't forget all this things that happened to me <3

MONDAY 1:00 PM We were already getting in line even though the staff told us to do that at 2:30 PM
turns out that being on a line didn't even matter since they were sticking to the order of the random numbers... 600 fans would have to go before us... :( THERE'S NO WAY WE'RE MAKING IT TO THE FIST ROW OF THE BLACK CARPET.. i told that to myself about 10000 times and then people around me started saying let's just pray for bleachers... i was like wtf is that? i literally googled the meaning haha and then i knew.. it wasn't even in the black carpet... the bleachers are the part in the street right where all the celebrities get down their cars... and all i did was... looked to the sky and thank God for everything and told Him i trust you.. i know this is happening for a reason.
Time went by kind of fast and we were next to get inside the black carpet area.. there was no way you could see what was happening from where we were standing so when we steeped in that's when i notices the layout..  The entire Nokia plaza was already covered by fans about 4 rows each side.. i told my self if we get in the other side of the carpet we're not even going to be able to see something...
But as we walked down to the street in order to get to the other side of the black carpet the staff stopped and for a few seconds were talking trying to figure out where to put us...
God is awesome! They redirected us to the bleachers.. and not just the bleachers THE FIRST ROW OF THE BLEACHERS!!! We really screamed and jumped and hugged each other for about 10 minutes!!!


RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ACTION LOL

My good friend Staci took this picture of us :)
I think i was tweeting about it lol

Thanks to that awesome spot we are in so many pap pictures and videos with the "OBSESSED TWILIGHT FANS" as headline lol i already lost the count my favorite one was when the girls from ClevverTV stopped by and Interviewed me <3 awww i even have a picture with them 


And the interview :S haha NEVER AGAIN



SERIOUSLY NEVER AGAIN!! haha and them so really embarrassing screencaps of my 5 minutes of fame on tv 

And this is just before the celebrities arrived!!
WE WERE ALSO 5 SECONDS ON THE ELLEN DEGENERES SHOW !

Well i think my friend Emily got interviewed like 5 or 6 times lol
After a couple minutes we saw a gorgeous red headed girl walking to the red carpet and i knew she was the girl from Victorious but couldn't remember her name BUT.. there was this little girl almost next to me i think she was 14 or something and she knew her name so she started screaming Ariana!! Ariana!! well she looked back to us and smiled and walked right in front of me <3 i was the first one to get a picture with her and she was sooooo nice and cute!! And yes.. she talks the same way in real life as she does on the show LOL

And also got my first autograph <3
I took 2 little notebooks  the first one with the apple and hands has only non twilight celebrities autographs and the other one with the chess piece has all of the twilight cast autographs even some doubles and triples :)
The last one ... That's my Special Notebook will show what's inside at the end of this post.

Anyway.. time went by and the next celebrity was Willow Shields!! i knew that one!! lol well first i was like OMG OMG PRIM!!! IT'S PRIM haha and when she walked to us again me being the first one to get signed   , i think her manager or someone with her said.. "Do you guys know who she is? all i could say was OF COURSE SHE'S PRIM! hahaha and then she signed for a bunch of people and took pictures with as many fans as she could
Isn't she super pretty??? awww i wanted to take her home.. or i wanted her to take me home lol 

Every time a new car parked in front of us the craziness started.. people pushing me, pulling my hair.. -_- that wasn't pretty at all and most of the times the cars only had people that won contest or just rich awesome people lol
There was this really nice lady behind me giving me massages and protecting me from the mean people awww her name is Cheyanne Lent and in return i had her book with me and i asked as many celebrities as possible to sign it :)
And then... the real craziness started.. i can't remember who was there first it's already blurry in my mind but here are some of the pictures i took with the Twilight Cast 

Mackenzie Foy , she just signed for a little while i think it was just too much noise 

Michael Sheen Oh man he's so handsome!

Peter Facinelli... no need to tell that i was dying for him in that moment lol

Christian Serratos (yuujuu finaly with my entire face in the picture)

Cameron Bright.. ALMOST! but at least i have a proof of his autograph in my book 

Sarah Clarke aww Bella's mom 

Boo Boo Stewart.. ok there's a video of me screaming BOO BOO!! BOO BOO! hahaha i will never show that video again

Christopher Heyerdahl
FUNNY STORY, I was so excited to see him because i really love the work he does so i told him "I love you in true blood YOU ARE AMAZING" he turned to me and said Oh thank you i'm also very proud of myself awww i love him

I have no idea this kids name!! if anyone knows please write it on the comment section 
but he was really cute

FOX FACE!! Jacqueline Emerson from The Hunger Games

Erik Odom

Gill Birmingham!! i remember someone screaming IT'S A MIRACLE YOU CAN WALK hahaha

Oh i almost forgot to post mi picture with Charlie Bewley GRRR 
ok this is my favorite picture from the whole Black Carper 
My friend took the picture and it was not just blurry but he moved before the picture was ready BUT my other sweet sweet friend Cami took this other picture and you can see how he's holding my hand!
HOLDING MY HAND!!! 


I didn't got pictures with Ashley or Nikki because i already got them during Tent City and it seemed fair to let other fans to get pictures with them :)
BUT!! i got in the background of some pictures of Nikki Reed lol



I didn't said they were good pictures LOL

Taylor skipped our part -_- so i didn't got pictures or his autograph but it's ok because then i got THIS!!
First Kristen was walking her way to us.. Oh Man.. she's so pretty but all of my friends know i don't like her.. i don't like how she acts.. but i mean she was there so she signed my book and took a picture with me 


I know it's blurry i was really nervous cause Rob was just behind her !! and everyone knows that when Rob takes the pictures you're never in the picture lol so i decided in 2 seconds to snap the picture with my Ipod!
He was there.. in front of me... NO PICTURES NO PICTURES i heard his staff saying... it all went by so quick! he was almost gone and i touched his jaw!!! I TOUCHED HIS JAW! haha i needed to do that... i think in my dreams i launched myself to him and hugged him but in that exact moment i froze... and so i said CAN I HAVE A PICTURE WITH YOU I HAVE MY CAMERA READY!! he turned around and said yeah sure.. AAAAAAAAAAAAHHH 
Someone with a flash ruined my picture!! But it's him it's HIM!! i have a picture with ROBERT PATTINSON!!!
I was so happy i even started crying... there's a saying that goes 1 picture says more that 1000 words.. or something like that.. Well here's the picture...

Yes yes.. it's really funny.. haha but that was the pure and honest face of happiness :) i also touched his suit.. it was so nice.. i can't even remember his face anymore :( i mean i do.. but it was so fast!!
And that was it... the premiere was over and we just sat there and waited to leave the area...
Then Charles (head of Security of Tent City) told us to wait cause we were getting tickets for the MOVIE!! OH HELL YEAH!!!!!!

I was so happy!! but i needed to pee so bad!!! We walked to the Nokia theater and register our cameras and iPods and everything before walking inside the theater i took my memory card just in case they miss placed my camera or something.
I went to the bathroom and then got some bags of popcorn and empty cups for water :)

We watched the movie and it was a totally different experience... 
**SPOILERS**
During the first minutes of the movie when the names are showing we screamed and cheered for our favorite actors of course the entire movie theater was going nuts lol 
In every scene we laughed really hard or awed or screamed... i can't remember some part of the movie or what they were saying because of that.. Kalise my dear friend sitting next to me was hitting me every time something exciting was happening Oh and crushing my hand! 
The most crazy part was during the fight... Oh man.. i knew that it was only Alice's vision (i won't say how i knew) but i knew it and even with that... when i saw Carlisle head on Aro's hand was just too much... the rest of the fight was accompanied by screams multiple times WTF?? WTH? OMG!! What's wrong with you!!!!! hahaha i remember before the fight started i said out loud.. Shit just got serious LOL the girls next to me were laughing so hard haha they told me they will always remember me saying that :D
The movie was over and it was amazing to watch it with over 1000 twihards!
Right after 

We just went back to the hotel to relax and pack because our flight was supposed to leave on Thursday at 11:00 AM

I took my memory card and out and put it on my friends laptop to "save" the pictures... well i did something i don't know what but all my picture were deleted :( a couple days later an an awesome program and i got my pictures back <3

So... that was my twilight experience.. it was so worth it and i will forever remember it and thanks to this blog i will have the memories fresh always Thank you so much for reading this blog!!!
LOVE
Dann Barba :*
