Occupy 'Twilight': Fans Await 'Breaking Dawn' Premiere
The streets outside of L.A.'s Nokia Theatre have been occupied by the most hardcore "twihards" - more than 1,400 in fact - who have waited patiently for the last five days in anticipation of tonight's red carpet premiere of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part I."
Making camp in "Tent City," as its called, has become a pre-premiere tradition, one author Stephanie Meyer decided she had to see in person in anticipation of the fourth film.
"I heard the stories about these kids, and it always sounds so amazing," Meyer said after mingling with fans while passing out 600 autographed copies of Breaking Dawn. "So I decided I had to get into town for this."
Cast members including Jackson Rathbone and Peter Facinelli met with fans over the weekend, signing autographs and posing for photos. Keeping up with the #BreakingDawn hashtag became a challenge as giddy fans posted photos of themselves posing with their favorite sparkle vamps.
A few members of the Cullen Family made the rounds during a five-city Cast + Concert Tour as well, making stops in Chicago, Dallas and San Franciso to name a few.
And, just in case you've been living under a rock and have no idea where we are in the whole fangs vs. fur throwdown - the story in a nutshell. And don't worry. No spoilers.
