But you can’t just show up and expect an autograph. You must be one of the first 500 to have purchased an official Twilight shirt from a Hot Topic store at the specific mall on the day of the show. Then you’ll get a wrist band allowing you access to see the stars and get an autograph. There’s a two wristband per person maximum.

I’ve already told my girls that I will not be able to take the day off from work to wrestle with a million crazed Edward fans only to be turned away. I imagine die hard fans will be camping out and stuff. I don’t get the obsession with it yet, although I’ve finally decided to begin reading the first book. I must say, just 20 pages in and I’m hooked. Good luck!

Stephanie Meyer’s hugely successful dark romance series consists of four intense, vampire-ridden novels. My two eldest daughters have been quite attached to them, accomplishing the unbelievable feat of reading two books in two days (perhaps not such a difficult task for the dedicated Twilight fan). The home stays quiet but is later filled with the chatter of a tween and a teen obsessively discussing all scenes and characters with the ruckus of a typical “coven” of groupies. When they heard of the Twilight movie, in theaters in December, they, how can I put this lightly, FREAKED OUT! So if you haven’t already done so, add this series of books to your older child’s reading list.
