TwiCon Toronto 2010!

We are very pleased to announce TWICON CANADA 2010!!!!

We’re so darn happy that we can finally announce it, you have no idea. After many months of petitioning and making contacts, we received a few months ago an email from the one and only TwiCon!

TwiCon held the largest conference inspired by Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight this summer in Dallas, Texas. They had seven of the Twilight cast members attending and many amazing activities planned. We’re very excited to have the opportunity to work with them. We will be working as volunteers for the convention, so please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any suggestions!

TwiCon Canada is going to take place in Toronto, Canada in the summer of 2010.

The website will go up very soon with more details, so be sure to check back there: www.twicon.org

Keep checking back there for announcements!

A humongous thank you to all of you who helped us achieve our goal! We had no idea, back when we started the petition, whether it would work or not. Looks like we seriously underestimated you guys. Thanks so much to all the websites for helping us get the petition out there and especially to those of you who’ve contributed so much and stuck with us throughout this incredible journey (oh my god that was so cheesy! But it’s okay, ‘cause we’re getting a FREAKING CONVENTION!)

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions concerning the convention and what you’d like to see, send us an email at twicancon@hotmail.com. We really encourage you all to let us know what you want so we can try to make it happen.

Presenting… TwilightUnplugged!

It’s official! Our YouTube channel, TwilightUnplugged, is now up!

To launch it off, we bring you
‟An attempt at explaining the Twilight Frenzy”

*For best quality, click on the HQ button once the video has started*

We’ve worked very hard on this video, so we welcome comments and questions! We had a lot of laughs doing this so we hope you can get a laugh or two out of it as well. If this video gets enough hits, then we’ll consider showing you guys some of the hilarious behind the scenes and bloopers we have from our filming.

Thanks so much to Daniel, Ilana’s brother and his freaking amazing computer skills. Thanks to all the Twilight fansites for posting about our video contest and most of all, thanks to YOU guys for all the support! Special acknowledgement to Goodnight Juliet and Mitch Hansen Band for giving us permission to use their songs. They’re seriously awesome bands, you can check out their MySpaces (all sites are listed in the video side bar). This is the first time that “Number 3” by Mitch Hansen Band has ever been used in a video, we assure we feel very *special* to be the first to display it. I’m telling you, I’ve had that song stuck in my head for 2 weeks.

So to end this off,

THANKS EVERYONE AND SUBSCRIBE SUBSCRIBE SUBSCRIBE!

Ilana and Taryn 🙂

We’re on TA!?

Hi there Twifans,

Well today at around 2 pm, I went to do my daily check on Twilighters Anonymous. I opened up the news blog and BOOM! There it was. Our proud little Twi-Can logo in really really really big. Right there. On TA. First thing. It completely slipped my mind that we e-mailed them the night before. Silly me… It was so exciting, though! Like I was just doing my daily do’s and then it’s like “Hey, wait a second, isn’t that me?” It was truly great. Yes yes it was. I think I even might’ve squealed a little.

The first time we were on TA, we were only featured in their Odds and Ends. This time, we got a whole thing to ourselves! IT. WAS. AWESOME. You guys can go ch-ch-check it out here:

Also, for all you groupies (and by that I mean people in the Facebook group, ehehe), if you haven’t noticed yet, we’re posting new discussion board topics every week to get to know our members better. Cause we heart you 🙂

Also, I loooove the e-mails. Every time I see an new e-mail in the inbox, I get so excited. I’ll always answer a good e-mail. So if you got anything to say, say it. 🙂 It’ll make me happy cause I’m one of those people that get amused by the smallest things. I’m special X)

Anyways, thanks everyone for all the support! Keep it coming!

TwiCanCon

Hey Twilighters!

About a month ago, we came up with an idea that somehow hadn’t made its way into the Twilight fandom so far. It seemed as if Canada would be excluded in the ever-growing list of locations for Twilight conventions. So we decided to do something about it. On January 11th we created a petition for a Canadian Twilight convention on Facebook, explaining to the fans our goal and what we wished to accomplish. The outcome was outstanding and in less than two weeks we had more than 1000 members! Never underestimate Twilighters!! One of life’s many lessons. xP

We’re now nearing 2000 and we’ve been featured on a number of websites/blogs (including Twilighters Anonymous, Twilight Novel Novice, Bella and Edward.com, Edward Cullen Source and Peace. Love. TWILIGHT!). We’ve been getting a lot of great ideas and feedback from the fans! We decided to create this blog as an alternate way of keeping up to date on Twi-Can’s activity. We’ll be posting polls and other ways of making sure that it’s the Twilighters who are being represented. 🙂

Check out the Facebook petition here: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=127666565144
