She wrote in to the Eagle-Tribune about her experience standing in line waiting for one of the 500 bracelets given away at Hot Topic, for fans to meet the actors from the movie. Look for future stories and a movie review on “New Moon” in the Eagle-Tribune next week.

My experience waiting overnight on the cold, hard floor of the Natick Mall for a wristband and T-shirt to meet Alice (Ashley Greene) and Emmett (Kellan Lutz) was exciting. When I arrived at 9:30 p.m., we had to wait outside. Already there were at least 100 people in line. Then an hour later they finally let us inside the mall. At first I thought the New Moon fans were going to be mean and kinda competitive because we were all in line for the same thing….a chance to meet Alice (Ashley Greene) and Emmett (Kellan Lutz) . But it turned out that they were really nice. And just as crazy about New Moon as I am. I made 3 friends and we all played Apples to Apples –a children’s game– to get us through the long anxious night. A few hours into our “camping out” experience there was a sea of people and sleeping bags behind me.
The sleeping part was uncomfortable but I reminded myself what I was there for and decided it was totally worth it.
The people who worked at Hot Topics were helpful, answering our questions and providing us with a huge layout of cookies and candy, along with Poland Spring water bottles. Just after midnight, a journal was passed around the entire line outside the store for writing messages to Alice and Emmett , which will be presented to them when they visit. I thought that was a pretty cool idea. When the doors finally opened to the Hot Topics store in the morning I was thrilled. My stomach was flipping with butterflies. When I entered the store, the friends I had made and I were screaming. When I finally had the T-shirt and band in my hands I felt so relieved because I knew I was definitely going to meet them. I can only imagine how I will feel when I am actually standing in front of them watching them sign my poster!
