how far would you go to see twilight??


the highly anticipated twilight premieres in just over 48 hours and the "twilighters" are just about ready to bust with anticipation. 500 midnight shows have already sold out. but what would you do if you wanted to attend the midnight show and your lame hometown theater didn't want to show it because they thought the tickets wouldn't sell?? hello!!!! where have you been little theater owner?? hiding underneath a rock for the last year?? this unfortunate scenario was almost a reality in moab where my sister in law, charlotte lives. not to be left in the dark for 12 hours after the premiere some local women took matters into their own hands. they purchased all the seats in the theater and started to sell the tickets themselves. news spread like wildfire and the tickets became a hot commodity. charlotte called to reserve her tickets and the ladies informed her she could pick them up at the park the next day. she arrived at the park to find the ladies with their van doors open, twilight trailers playing on laptops, selling tickets that they had handcrafted. they are also doing some sort of raffle at the premiere. now that is what i call devotion!! or does it cross the line into unhealthy obsession?? hmmm.... either way, a theater full of twilight lovin mormonites is guaranteed to be a rockin time! it almost makes me want to drive over there for the premiere. but; the tickets are sold out so i wouldn't be able to get in anyway. silly little theater owner!!! how close you came to missing a major payday.

WOW. Silly Moab. I am really proad of those ladies for making it happen. The things we take for granted living in a metropolitan area. My friend bought 20+ tickets a few weeks ago, we are going tomorrow night. I can't wait. I just hope Edward doesn't disappoint...I am not totally sold on "Cedric Digory's" hotness.
