New Moon fan event

What a day it was! I set off from home at 7am to get the tram to the coach station, the coach luckily wasnt busy so I had 2 seats to spread out a little on during the 4 and a half hours journey. I met my friend Shell soon after arriving in Victoria station and we went to go and have some lunch before setting off to Battersy park where the event was being held. We got there for around 2pm and started the long queing process, first we had to que to receive our ticket and wristbands, plus slips of paper to submit our questions to the cast, then once we received those, we then had to que to get into the event. At first it wasnt so bad, it was a bright dry day but as the sun started setting, the rain and wind started and we had a bit of a giggle saying how we were a bit old for this sort of thing and we were very much looking forward to a cuppa and a sit down lol We started making our way into the event around 4.30 and we realised we were heading towards the red carpet infront of all the screaming fans and awaiting press, walking down the red carpet was a very surreal experience indeed! Inside the event it was dimly lit with red lights and had the movie posters all around, we made our way towards the stage and sat on the floor with all the other awaiting fans. We got to see the cast of the film walk down the red carpet on huge screens and then the bands started, first to come on was The band of skulls followed by Magic numbers, both are on the movie soundtrack. As we were pretty close to the stage when the bands started we got squished into the middle of a huge group which after a while got uncomfortable so we squeezed our way out to the back and ended up having a much better veiw of the stage. Next the cast themselves came onto the stage for question and answer session which prompted much girly screaming lol We decided to make our way back to the station not long after the Q&A so we would be there in plenty of time for our travel home and we finally managed to get our cuppa :-) My coach home was at 11.30 and I spent a very uncomfortable 5 hours squished against a window as the coach was full. We had an amazing time and of course it was rather nice to see the lovely Mr Pattinson in person, im only 3 years older than him so it doesnt feel too bad to have a bit of a soft spot for him lol here are a few pics from the day
