70,000 Twilighters Visit Forks

Did you go to Forks this year? Well so did about 69,999 of your friends. According to the Forks Forum and Chamber director Marcia Bingham 70,000 Twilighters signed the Forks guest book in 2009. Forks, Washington used to be a small logging town that got a few tourists a year for camping and hiking in the Hoh Rainforest. However, in 2009 tourism for Forks went up by almost 500 percent!! And that is all thanks to a family of bloodsucking vegetarians.

Stephenie Meyer has really reawakened and changed Forks. When you walk down the street that is downtown Forks you can’t help but notice Twilight, it is everywhere!! Every store has Twilight Products: the pharmacy has Bella’s first aid kit, the Locksmith has student ID’s and press badges, there are even whole stores that sell exclusively Twilight items. But don’t get me wrong Forks is still the hometown it has always been, the people who live there love it and they are so friendly. Most of them really love the Twilighters and what Stephenie Meyer has brought to their town. Some of them will even get into the action by pretending like the Cullens are really walking around. The Miller Tree Inn Bed and Breakfast that serves as the Cullen house actually will leave little notes signed by Esme for their guests.

Forks is an amazing town and a must have stop for all true Twilighters. We are just glad we could be a part of the big tourism boom. And we are all optimistic about 2010 as well “We’re going to beat this year,” Bingham predicted, looking ahead at 2010.

Stephenie Meyer Day Part 3

Stephenie Meyer Day is on September 13th, which most Twilight Fans know is Bella’s Birthday, so it wouldn’t be complete with out Bella’s Birthday Bash. Bella’s Birthday Bash was hosted by Leppells and we were issued an invitation to come be at the party and sign copies of our book, Experience Twilight: The Ultimate Fan Travel Guide. The whole event was beautiful and I was so glad we could be there! Here are some pics of how everything was decorated!!

There were actually 3 cakes for Bella, but here is a pic of one of them!!

The Main event was the Twilight Music girls, another Twilight Inspired band that is one of my favorites!! They already have a couple CD’s available and they made an appearance at Twi-con this year. They gave everyone at the Birthday Bash an exclusive look at there new Song “The End” (which is my new favorite song) and I got some video to share with you!! Sorry it is so dark, I am so disappointed how badly it turned out, but the sound is perfect!!

They were really nice and took the time to talk and take pictures with the all us fans. I asked them a bit about themselves and how they got started and they told me that they were all musicians and friends who fell in love with the Twilight books (who can blame them!). When they discovered that they had all written songs about it, they decided to put them all together and start a band, hence the Twilight Music Girls!!

We also got a limited edition CD that is a live sneak peak version of their next album. Check it out they even autographed it!!

That night we also tried to go to the drum circle at La Push but unfortunately they had to start early do to the tides and we missed it. However we were there just in time to meet a very special guest, Tinsel Korey!! Tinsel Korey is the actress playing Emily, Sam Uleys Fiance in New Moon. She was very nice and she was there taking pictures and signing autographs as a fundraiser for the Quillette High School. I was able to get a picture with her and we even gave her a signed copy of our book, hopefully she will share it with others on the set!!

As you can see Stephenie Meyer Day was alot of fun and we can’t wait till next year!! We hope to see you guys at more Twilight Events!
