Eclipse News
Another potential director for Eclipse. His name is Juan Antonio Bayona. So this would make 3 that I am aware of. Drew Barrymore, Juan and Chris's little brother. I wonder who else is on this list.

How to prep for a midnight release
As promised, here are a few more helpful hints on keeping safe while attending a Twilight Series midnight release.

#1 - Safety in numbers
The more the merrier. Waiting in line can be very tiring, so the more people there to talk to and save spots the better. Also there is more back up if a dispute should arise. :)

#2 - Pre-Order/Reserve your copy
There is nothing worse than standing in line and waiting for several hours to have the item you want sell out. Take the time to research what you need to do to ensure the item you are waiting for is there.

#3 - Be prepared
Nothing like going camping and forgetting your sleeping bag. If you are going to be staying out all night, make sure you have everything you need to be comfortable. Chair, blanket, food etc. This will make it much more enjoyable for everyone. Don't forget to check the local weather forecast and plan accordingly. If you are staying out all day, make sure you bring plenty of sun screen and water. No one wants to have heat stroke before the big event.

#4 Scout our your location
Make the time to drive to the location where the event is happening. See how much room in there. Locate restrooms and other areas you can use during the wait. This could give you the extra edge you need to be in the front of the line.

#5 - Find a babysitter and inform the spouse, boyfriend etc.
There are not many times I ask my husband to watch the kids and go off for hours at a time, but Twilight is different. Prep the hubby, give him as much time as possible before the event so they are fully aware they will have the kids. If you don't have a husband or schedules conflict. Spend the extra money and get a babysitter. You will be glad you did.

Those are the most important tips I can give you. Channy and I have stayed out all night waiting to get a ticket to see Stephenie Meyer. Channy and I have stayed in line all day waiting to see Stephenie Meyer. We have also waited in line to get a wristband for Breaking Dawn and then again to get the book. We have walked the walk and have nothing but wonderful memories because of it.

Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.
