So it all started when Molly and Megan found an ad in the paper for the special New Moon event for Nov. 11. We were a little on the fence about going because of some stress about papers, but though what a once in a lifetime opportunity it would be!! The event started at 6, but by the time 4pm rolled around, Molly and Megan dropped out; and if it weren't for Stephanie still wanting to go I wouldn' have.
Luckily she was all for it! So we found our way to Battersea Park and there were these big, waving spotlights to guide us to the spot. We walked around to find the best spot and since space on the actual red carpet was full (since we got there about 5:30) we went over under some bushes to peer from the fence.
We actually had a pretty close, unobstructed view of a lot of the carpet, the MC's stand, the doors, and the 2 live television screens. 
This was the hole in the fence we totally could've sneaked through...but didn't!It was sooooo much fun! And the crowd was great! So many awesome Twilight fans screaming and having a blast! It was completely infectious! First came these groups of "werewolves" (guys with no shirts jumping around) and "vampires" (Volturi with red capes). Next the MC interviewed some bands that would perform inside that had put some tracks on the CD. Then came Robert. *SIGH*
(Rob's head on the screen)It was soooo exciting!! It took a while for him to get in our view but when he did it was amazing! I can't believe we were that close to him--I can't imagine how the people actually right next to the carpet must have felt...I might have fainted! We could see him wander back and forth signing things and giving interviews. Then came Taylor
(You can see Taylor's head on the left half toward the center, left of the red blob)and the director Chris Weitz.
(He's facing us with the white shirt under a jacket!)They both did the same. Luckily we could hear most of the MC's interviews with them.
Rob also got up there and talked a little! SOOO exciting!! Then Kristin came. She was pretty slow making her way toward the entrance so we really didn't see much of her until she went up to talk. It was crazy hearing all the photographers and seeing all the action! What an INCREDIBLE experience!! Top night! :D Then, to make things even more perfect, on our way out of the park Steph and I were walking toward a gazebo so we had a romantic Twilight prom moment :) And then - the bus we took back to Victoria station had the New Moon poster on it!
It was fate!!!! And since it was stopping at Victoria we were able to take some pictures with it! Best Night Ever.There's lots more pictures, but I'd have to go through them with a fine tooth comb to find who's in the picture!! That'll take some time! :D
Here's one video. The trailer showed a little before they came. It was the least insane of all the videos but I'll try to get more up soon.
