After watching all three Twilight flicks in two days, and reading all four books in just 2.5 days – I’m nothing if not thorough – I think it’s safe to say I’m officially a Twihard… or Twilight Mom. Maybe even insane according to Robert Pattinson’s most recent quotes from the Twilight Convention in L.A.

Either way, my mind is a little blown (in a good way) that such a fantastical saga could ignite such a fangs vs. fur frenzy. And, regardless of your team loyalty (ahem, Jasper), things just got more exciting.

Read on.

Summit Entertainment invites Twilight moviegoers across the nation to meet select cast members and experience new music featured in the highly anticipated release of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 in theatres November 18th. Part 2 is slated to be released November 16, 2012.

In addition to having the chance to meet the entire (almost) Cullen clan – stars Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser, Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed, Jackson Rathbone, and Ashley Greene will be at many of the stops on the tour – fans can enjoy musical concerts courtesy of several bands featured on movie soundtrack, including Christina Perri, Aqualung, Lucy Schwartz, and Sleeping at Last. 

The nationwide red carpet event and concert tour will kick off in Atlanta, Georgia at The Buckhead Theatre on November 7th. 

I’ll be covering Chicago’s event, so be sure to give me a shout out and stay tuned for a one-on-one interview coming up with one of the Cullens.
