Dudes, you're filming up in the "great white north" (hint it in the title) during winter and you only bring denim jackets?!
At least put a scarf on, Gill - I get that you're chief but *brrr*

Twilighters at SunDance 2011 - Charlie, Chaske & Elizabeth
FOOORKS & TwiTour Portland!
So this past weekend I joined up with Malicious Mandy to drive to Forks with the Twitards and co :)
We set off Thursday morning with a short stop by Bella's house that's being re-constructed on the out-skirts of Vancouver in preparation for Breaking Dawn - eeek!
We then *cough*missed the first ferry so hung out on the beach for an hour*cough* arrived into Port Townsand, where we openly fan-girled as we spotted signs to Port Angeles!
The silver lining to running late was that the Bella Italia was open and super yummy!
We got back on the 101 :D and drove onto Forks - let me just say, there is nooo way Edward is making that trip in under 40 minutes because it is crazy whindey if really beautiful - and hit the brakes like woah when we saw... the Forks city sign!
After meeting up with a 100 or so of our closest Twi-buddies (it felt alot like camp as we took over a good part of the Forks Motel) and sporting Charlie cop 'staches like champs at the Twilight Lounge bar, we called it a night.
The next morning, after heading over to the Forks Diner to fill up on caffeine and carbs, we got a tour of the town by the Twi-tastic Kitty_Elvis including:
"Newtons" outfitters
Bella's house
Forks Hospital
Forks High School
Forks Police department
The Cullen House
and...
La Push :)
*Unfortunately other photos I took were lost when I lent out my memory card - apparently you do not do that :/
Sadly, Mandy and I had to set off for Portland (boo) for the TwiTour there (yaaay) via Astoria for a quick Goonies set visit (win!).
We arrived at the TwiTour just in time for karaoke with Bronson and Kiowa, where I put my brave face on - I was wearing my "You Can't Handle This" tee after all - and sang Black Velvet on stage :/
The next day we were up early for a 6 hour tour of of Twilight filming locations with (wait for it...) Catherine Hardwicke!
Catherine is super cool and friendly - she chatted away to us all like we'd been BFFs for years and gave us all the behind the scenes deets on the:
"My own personal brand of heroine" tree
"As if you could outrun me" boulder
"You have to tell me what you're thinking" rock <--- hummana!
Carver Cafe (where I totes did the Mike Newton "bow chica wah wow" through the window)
"I know what you are" forest #EPIC
View Point Inn - gorgeous views for Prom!
Cullen house - sooo amazing O_O but actually at the end of a regular street, unlike in the middle of nowhere as I always imagined
*I'd post more pictures but they mostly involve friends and I recreating scenes which no one needs to see ;)
We headed back to catch Chaske's Q&A - the man's voice is hypnotic - before vamping up for the Volturi Ball where new friends Bryan and Christine ruled the dance contest with a little help from Kiowa, Bronson, Charlie and the fantastically talented, Candace Charee.
I may or may not have closed out the evening by dancing on stage to Party in the USA #MakingKStewProud
Sunday, not only did I get to meet the creators of the FAME comics and see Mandy and the Twilight Lexicon's Shelley's talks...
...but Daniel Cudmore and Charlie Bewley took the stage to answer the weekend's best random question:
"Would you rather have no elbows or no knees?"
After some fairly hysterical demonstrations, people seemed to unanimously choose knees. Now you know!
Over all it was a super fun weekend and I can't wait to go to my next TwiTour (this Oct 8th-10th they're in Anaheim) with even more amazing bloggy-buds :) thanks for the great times, all!

The Eclipse Pack - New Interview & Shoot with the Wolves
In a new interview, Tinsel, Julia, Chaske and Alex talk about the new dynamic of the wolf pack for Eclipse:
According to Alex Meraz, a 25-year-old who appears in the upcoming third installment of the blockbuster Twilight series, the actors who play the so-called “Wolf Pack”—a group of American Indian shape-shifters—became as close as their characters almost as soon as they arrived on set.
“We really rely on each other for support,” he said. “It feels like family.” His co-stars Tinsel Korey, 30, Chaske Spencer, 35, and Julia Jones, 29, agreed: “I felt, kind of instantly, like we had so much in common,” Jones said. Being in an intensely-hyped Twilight flick, she explained, “is a really specific kind of experience. We all feel we’re in the same boat.”

Gotta say, I'm cool with Chaske and Alex but Tinsel and Julia are the first of the pack that I'm actually really happy with!

P.s. Have you heard Chaske's voice yet?! Dang!
Chaske - "I’ve never been so body conscious until I landed this role"
Radar Online interviews Chaske-Aplhawolf-Spencer, talking about "Wolf camp" and on-set competitions between the pack - as well as Rob (who knew he could lift so much? Yummy! I knew those abs weren't painted!) - here's an excerpt:
Radar: I understand that Chris Weitz said for the last movie you guys did Wolf Camp? Tell me about that?Read more over at RadarOnline
Spencer: Yeah, I like the choice of words, Wolf Camp. It was like a basic training. I had been going to the gym before I went up to Vancouver and just to keep in shape I go to the gym regularly but when we got there it was a whole different beast all together.
They got us a trainer, and he had helped out the actors in 300 get in shape. It was really cool, me and the other guys, the wolf guys, we were pretty jacked that we were working out with the guy who was affiliated with 300. I think we were more excited about that than anything else.
So what they did is he threw us into circuit training and muscle confusion workouts and we hit it pretty hard for about an hour and hour and a half. First thing in the morning that’s what we’d do. And then we just eat all day. It’s pretty much four to six meals a day plus three to four protein shakes a day as well.
Radar: Do you spend all of your time staring at yourself in front of the mirror?
Spencer: You should see us on set! It’s so bad! We’re shirtless throughout most of the movie and we’re constantly doing the push ups and the sit ups between takes. We look in the mirror and say, ok, I can probably work THIS a little bit more, maybe 50 more crunches, I can loose that, I look at my bicep and check out Taylor ’s. It’s funny, it’s really funny. The other cast members laugh at us, it’s pretty hilarious. I’ve never been so body conscious until I landed this role.
As for a vampire, you know I like the fact that the vampire is very mysterious; they’ve got that skinny rock star thing going on. I remember when I was a kid I read all the Anne Rice books and she romanticized the vampire and I though those were really good...
Radar: You said that you like that the vampire is the cool skinny guy. Rob is basically the only guy in the show that isn’t working out in between scenes because he’s not buffing up, right?
Spencer: No, actually he was training with us.
Radar: Did he go to Wolf Camp?
Spencer: No, he did Vampire Camp! I don’t know what his workout regimen was but he would show up before or after us because we were on two different shooting schedules during New Moon and most of the vampires, I met them for dinner once but then boom, we all went our separate ways to work. I would hear the trainer say oh Rob lifted this much weight, and I’d say really?
Radar: Would you want to lift more than Rob?
Spencer: Yes! There was this competition one day we went into the gym, we have this rowing machine and I really busted my ass and I got a high record on it and I was like, yeah, beat that! Because the wolves are really competitive with each other in the gym. Then the next day I came in and Rob beat me by four seconds! Then filming was done and I never got to go back and try to up that.

Chaske Spencer, Bronson Pelletier, Alex Meraz, Kiowa Gordon & Tyson Houseman to Star as Members of Wolf Pack
Los Angeles, CA — March 23, 2009 — Summit Entertainment announced today that Native American/First Nation actors Chaske Spencer, Bronson Pelletier, Alex Meraz, Kiowa Gordon and Tyson Houseman have signed on to star as the members of the wolf pack in THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON. In the film, the wolf pack defends humans against vampires although they have a tribal history intricately entwined with Edward Cullen and his family. The wolf pack members will join Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and fellow wolf pack member Taylor Lautner in the film directed by Chris Weitz which will be released domestically November 20, 2009.Source: StephenieMeyer.com
In THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON, Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) is devastated by the abrupt departure of her vampire love, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) but her spirit is rekindled by her growing friendship with the irresistible Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner). Suddenly she finds herself drawn into the world of the werewolves, ancestral enemies of the vampires, and finds her loyalties tested.
Each member of the wolf pack is of Native decent. Spencer is Lakota (Sioux), Pelletier is Cree-Metis, Meraz is Purepecha (Tarasco), Gordon is Hualapai, and Houseman, who was discovered at an open casting call, is Cree. Casting of the wolf pack was overseen by award-winning casting director Rene Haynes who is well-known for her work on Native projects ranging from DANCES WITH WOLVES to BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE.
Hrm. Where's Tinsel Korey?
