With the success of our Solving Volvo’s Lost In Forks game post and it’s follow up post the Lost In Forks game FAQ, Hints and Easter Eggs things got a little crazy around here at Where Is Edward Cullen. Since we first launched the post to help players of the game we have seen nearly 17,000 visitors from around the world, 1,515 comments, and over 100 hundred e-mails. If that wasn’t keeping us busy enough we ran into some unwanted shenanigans with some rogue commenter’s impersonating other commenter’s and stirring up a bit of a mess not only for our readers, but also for the integrity of our site.
We have since blocked the most problematic commenter, but discovered today that there were others in the past that we will be keeping an eye out for. A handful of commenter’s in particular were impacted significantly by the impostors including commenter’s under the aliases of Techie, Bella, and Alice. To further protect our readers and to open up a new line off communication for our community of fans and readers, we launched the Where Is Edward Cullen Forums. Since its start yesterday evening the community already has 42 members at the time of this writing and 779 posts. Not bad for only being a day old.
We are continuing to develop the community and have added some general guidelines, information, and a number of Twilight related boards to get the conversations going. We hope our readers appreciate the steps we have taken to create a secure, fun environment for fans to interact without having to worry about impostors posting under their name. Sign up today, and be sure to stop by the “Newborns” thread and introduce yourself!
OK, so I’ll admit New Moon is soooo 2009, but that doesn’t mean that some people aren’t just now being turned on to the Twilight series and the films. Not to mention I’m never one to pass up on wine. A Facebook friend tipped me off on this awesome deal from Wicked Wines Online.
For only $139.95 you can get a case of Vampire wine and the 2 Disc Special Edition of the Twilight Saga: New Moon. What’s better than wine and a vampire love story? I drank a glass of wine each night as I read the Twilight books, it’s a perfect pairing! The case of wine includes the following:
About a year ago we did a handful of posts leading up to a day we declared “International Twilight Day“. The day was chosen by the fact that it would have both an eclipse and a new moon on the same day, and of course every day has a breaking dawn and a twilight. Many of the posts included Twilight recipes, Twilight drinking games, and even ideas for a night in with dinner and a movie, but now we are finding out a year later that the folks at Olympic Cellars Winery are livening up the party even more with a limited edition Twilight inspired wine.
The Washington based winery released a Sparkling Twilight Syrah last year and though the batch was limited there are still bottles available for purchase. Each bottle costs $35 and is described as having berry-fruit character with fresh flavors of raspberries, cherries and other red fruits. The limited edition sparkling syrah was inspired by a mother and daughter from Scotland who had stopped at the winery during a tour of each of the Pacific Northwest regions mentioned in the Twilight novels. You can read the full story of the wine here
So if you’re planning a Twilight themed get together or are planning on celebrating another “International Twilight Day” (July 11, 2010 will feature another new moon and eclipse on the same day), be sure to pick up a bottle of this limited edition wine before it’s too late!
Well it looks like the teenagers of Texas are at it again! You may have caught the news a few months back about the growing trend of wolf pack’s descending upon Texas schools. The trend involves groups of teens wearing lupine eye contacts and attaching “tails” to their pants and ultimately creating a social circle or “pack” that looks out for one another. And while the trend has been turning heads, it seems that this wolf pack, much like the Quilieute wolf pack is just trying to keep the peace.
But now it seems that another Twilight inspired teen trend has hit Texas, this time they are taking on the roll of the vampires. Taking lead from the more traditional “cold ones”, a Rockwall, Texas teen has had fangs implanted. The fangs, which are made using a plastic-like substance called composite, were implanted by local dentist Dr. Mary Courtin and are gaining even more interest from local teens.
While the fangs do not appear to be permanent it does have some dentists concerned, saying that the added tooth length could impact the patients bite. A good idea or not, it seems that Texas is the place to be if you want to show off your individuality and love for Team Jacob or Team Edward. The teens mother was not too fond of the decision, but said in an interview, “They want to look like who they idolize. And right now, ‘Twilight’ is it.”
Have you done anything out of the ordinary to show your love for the Twilight Saga? Let us know!
Here’s something Jasper, or any other good ol’ Texas boy can get behind. Country music and Twilight. Stumbled across the music video for Colt Ford’s Chicken & Biscuits thanks to an ad on Facebook. (And people hate ad targeting).
The video parodies some of the more popular scenes from the Twilight and New Moon movies and even merges a few of them. My favorite is probably Jacob and Bella fixing the chicken fryer instead of a bike . I’m a sucker for country and for Twilight so this pairing was amusing as hell. Check it out below and let us know what you think!
