Attention Twilight fans: The Fantasy Twi-Life Tour gets underway
Twilight has spawned communities of fans that continue the fantasy through Twilight inspired "fan-fiction", film parodies, music and more. Out of this fandom has risen a convention to bring fans together in a weekend-long retreat in cities around the world where they get to meet and mingle with Twilight stars. The Fantasy Twi-Life Tour is a Twilight themed celebrity convention that will give fans the opportunity to gather with each other to celebrate the book and film series.
The Fantasy Twi-Life Tour has emerged as the latest addition to the Twilight convention scene. The tour kicks off in the promoter’s hometown of Fort Lauderdale, FL on December 4th and runs through the 6th. Celebrities from Twilight and The Twilight Saga: New Moon will spend the weekend hanging out with fans at the convention.
"Access and time with the stars is only part of what the fans want," says Mike Broder, tour promoter. "The convention is a party for the fans. We celebrate all things relating to the Twilight experience. 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."
The evenings heat up at the Fantasy Twi-Life Tour with a cocktail party, dinner banquet and prom. These events are all attended by the Twilight stars. At the Fort Lauderdale stop, fans will get to meet some of the stars of both Twilight and The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Among those attending will be:
- Daniel Cudmore
- Chaske Spencer
- Gil Birmingham
- Justin Chon
- Tyson Houseman
- Tinsel Korey
The Fantasy Twi-Life Tour is a Twilight themed celebrity convention that will give fans the opportunity to gather with each other to celebrate the book and film series.
