The Fantasy Twi-Life Tour, a Twilight fan convention series, is heading to Fort Lauderdale, Florida next weekend to bring the stars of The Twilight Saga: New Moon into reach for Twilight fans.
“I always thought it was cool for you to be able to meet the actors, celebrities and writers that you like and want to meet,” says Mike Broder, promoter of the tour group, to the Miami Herald.
The all-star roster for the event had to shift a bit as “Alex Meraz . . . step[ped] aside due to a scheduling conflict.” Joining the tour in his stead will be one of the Volturi actors, Daniel Cudmore (“Felix”).
Also featured on the line-up are Chaske Spencer (“Sam Uley”), Gil Birmingham (“Billy Black”), Justin Chon (“Eric Yorkie”), Tyson Houseman (“Quil Ateara”), Tinsel Korey (“Emily Young”), and Kimbra Hickey (“The Hands of Twilight“).
In addition to photo and autograph opportunities, there’ll also be a line-up of Q&As with the cast and others, musical guests, trivia, discussion panels, a cocktail party, a banquet, a prom, and other contests and activities.
Says Broder, “Access and time with the stars is only part of what the fans want. The convention is a party for the fans. We celebrate all things relating to the Twilight exerience. The line will wrap around the room for autographs and photo ops with the stars, but we’ll also run trivia events and conduct panel discussions relating to the books and movies to entertain the fans while they wait.” It’s all part and parcel of the “Twi-Life,” it seems, to this tour’s promoter.
The last time the Twi-Life tour had a show was in September’s collaboration with EyeCon Orlando. The atmosphere at these shows, to be sure, is relaxed and involved, and it seems that fans and guest stars alike can kick back and enjoy the weekend.
The show starts on Friday, December 4th, and runs until Sunday, December 6th at the Hyatt Regency Pier Sixty Six. Ticketing and other information on the show is available here. Note that I will be at the event moderating panels and enjoying the weekend as well . . . please be sure to say hello! A full report on the event will follow.
UPDATE: Twilight Lexicon has a feature on upcoming Twilight tours that you’ll want to check out as well. You can view that here.
