Throwback Thurs! Meeting Cedric Diggory… I Mean Robert Pattinson! Photos! Autographs! Twilight Madness!
I’ve been hanging with some really awesome people this week and while I can barely keep my eyes open to type this postzzzzzzzzzz… Sorry I fell asleep on my keyboard. Harry Potter has been on my mind and I thought it would be perfect to share this moment with Harry Potter star Robert Pattinson!
He was so nice! Such a cool guy!
Check it out below!
Sigh, I’m totally going to get made fun of for this, I just know it… I know it… today is Rob Pattinson day… Sigh… See, I’m just not a Twilight fan! I mean I’ve seen the movies and stuff, but they are just not my favorite. But I’m not a teen girl so I suppose the Summit Entertainment marketing dept doesn’t really care. Still, I really enjoyed Water For Elephants and I thought Rob Pattinson was good as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter… So… Hey, there’s always centre court slots to keep me up right?
Okay, I’m going out to try and meet him and get my Water For Elephants poster signed, are you judging me? Are you.. You should… I feel judged… lol… At least I’m not alone on this endeavor as The Lovely Erica is going out as well….
Let’s see my first excursion into the Twilight madness…
5:04 p.m. – I just arrived and holy shit… There must be 200 people here… My Lord… I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I didn’t expect this… What a crazy house…
5:18 p.m. – Settling into line… The security has basically lined everyone up single file. Which I think is awesome because it prevents people from jumping behind others etc…
5:25 p.m. – I found Erica and moved about 10 people up in line but behind her. It’s second row but at least we can chat. LOL…
5:44 p.m. – Thank God it’s a nice night and not frigid cold…. You just never know what to expect sometimes…
6:02 p.m. – There are at least 300 people here… Wow… And I do mean wow…
6:11 p.m. – Erica and I just met Nancy, so is a huge super fan of Robert’s from New York. Nancy is awesome, and I so hope she gets to meet Robert..
6:15 p.m. – Oh wait… Wait… There’s his car.. Yep… Robert is driving right past us! Doh! And he jumps right inside… Well… Here goes the waiting game…
6:24 p.m. – It’s getting a tad chilly. Thank God for Thinsulated jackets.
6:43 p.m. – Oh, there’s Ellen Degeneres and Portia De Rossi… Holy crap, they are coming over… Wow… I’m a tad shocked. They signed for like 10 people and went back.
I mean normally I would be like “they should have signed for the line.” but come on, there’s no way they could do that. LOL… I supposed getting here at 9:00 p.m. the night before has it’s perks, like getting a photo with Ellen and Portia. lol… Not worth it to me! But you know… Whatever works.
7:01 p.m. – Well… We are in it for the long haul, well, probably not that long… I’m thinking that Robert will be out by 7:30ish… I’m thinking that, but who knows…
7:15 p.m. – I brought my Water For Elephants mini poster and an Entertainment Weekly magazine from earlier this year. I also have a… Gulp… Twilight mini poster. I started it a long long time ago, don’t you judge me!
7:22 p.m. – The Twilight poster is last on my list… lol…
7:33 p.m. – Robert’s car is waiting by the door… So… We’re still in a holding pattern… Technically he could just jump right on in… But, you never know right? It just doesn’t look good…
7:41 p.m. – Still nothing… Hopefully, something will happen soon. Sigh… I need some salsa… I need some salsa real bad… (Wow, I just wrote down an indirect quote from Legally Blonde 2… IS there a word for that?)
7:53 p.m. – Oh… Oh… There he is! Everyone is screaming, and I’ll tell you it looks like another 50 people have joined the line now… It stretches down past the barricades and past the parking structure…
7:55 p.m. – Crap, Robert is coming right on over… Damn… There are literally 400 people here… and Robert Pattinson is being so cool. He is literally signing and taking photos down the line. I mean… Damn… If he does the full line I will be super impressed. Like super impressed.
8:04 p.m. – Robert is still super far away… But it looks like he’s taking his time… I mean… Wow…
8:11 p.m. – There’s not much more to report expect… Robert Pattinson is really greeting every person on the line. I’m shocked… SHOCKED!
8:20 p.m. – Robert is getting closer. I told Nancy I would take her photo for her because she is so nervous. LOL…
8:24 p.m. – Okay, I just saw Robert sign a woman’s paintings she made in his honor.
8:26 p.m. -Robert just signed and took a photo with Nancy, and he’s signing for me now.
Robert is happy to sign my poster, and then does a photo with me as well. He then signs my magazine. The first signature is so much better.
8:27 p.m. – He then signs Erica’s Harry Potter diary and takes a photo with her as well. Robert then continues down the line…
8:32 p.m. – Robert is now at the end of the barricade, and I’m telling you he is so nice to continue for all this time.
8:33 p.m. – The crowd is getting super restless now… There isn’t a barricade so people start to grab at Robert and finally security has to pull him. Then it gets super crazy… A kid starts running after Robert and security has to restrain him, the kid wouldn’t stop chasing Robert so they had to take him down. Damn… I’ve never seen that before… Only Twilight…
Wow, it was such a crazy night, but props to Robert Pattinson for being so awesome to his fans… I’m super impressed!
Until next time kids…
well,well……..see people love twilight! :)…..and it’s not just young people..I am old 🙂 love ya son!
It was funny to read, Mike, thank you.
Now, can you understand a bit more why Robert Pattinson is so beloved worldwide? Which young actor, standing in his shoes, could remain so grounded and humble, taking time for the fans? He isn’t pretentious nor arrogant. His mean goal is to try to become a very good actor while keeping his life as private as possible and as simple as before he rockeeted to superstardom.
Btw the majority of his fans are adult women who support his career for the talented actor he is and for the intelligent gentle personality he has.
As a fanboy I think he won’t disappoint you in Cosmopolis from David Cronenberg.
told you so;)
