Friday night, I had the lucky privilege to attend a Breaking Dawn party/concert and some of the cast was there!
My friend, Tonya called me up last weekend and asked if I wanted to go. She had tickets and her husband's grandmother works at The Rail (where the event was at) and she was able to get us in before the party started.
They had this cardboard set up and posters all over the place.
This is what it looked like inside before the event started.
Here is a picture of the stage.
Me with one of the posters!
We were able to go on a balcony to see the cast as they arrived.
This was the view I had. I loved that they had the red carpet!
I am pretty sure that the people on the front row had been waiting in line for hours. We were there an hour before it started and this is what it looked like.
Me on the balcony!
I was grateful we were able to be on the balcony because we got to see everyone. I might not have bee able to shake hands with the cast or get pictures with them but I did get to say hi to them and get their pictures.
Later, inside during the concert we were talking to a couple of girls who said they were down there and because they were not in the front row, they didn't get to see any of the cast. They also said there was a lot of pushing going on.
Carole Mikita was there! She is the blond reporter in this picture.
She has been a reporter for channel 5 news for years. I like her a lot! I have met her a couple of times and she is really a sweet person.

This is a picture of the bands that were there!
And now I will show the pictures of the cast that I got!
This is Peter Facinelli (Carlisle Cullen) he is in the brown leather jacket and he is standing with Jackson Rathbone (Jasper Cullen) who is in the nice suite.
I am going to list their real names once but in the rest of the post I am going to refer to them as their character's names.
I got a lot of pictures of them signing things for people.
Here is cute little Nikki Reed (Rosalie Cullen) looking up at us. She gave us a wave as well. She is even more beautiful in person!
I loved how Rosalie took off her jacket and totally did the red carpet thing!
In the right hand lower corner you can see Charlie Bowley (Demetri) talking to the press.

Rosalie!
Jasper and Carlisle talking to the press!
Another one of Rosalie!
Now the dark haired, cute girl who is standing next to the blond signing autographs is Ashely Greene (Alice Cullen).
Jasper and Carlisle again!
Demetri!
One of Alice and Jasper!
You could tell there is a closeness between them. It was really sweet!
This was the best picture I got of Carlisle!
He was hard to get a picture of because he would only talk to the press for a couple of minutes and then he would got straight back to the fans. I really thought that was cool! You could see he really cares for his fans!

This one is my favorite picture of all the pictures I got! They were saying hi to us and Jasper is looking straight at my camera!

Ashley (Alice) was really sweet! She kept hugging everyone!
After the red carpet, we all went in for the concert and after the bands played, they had the cast come on stage and answer questions.
I had the option to have front row because we were already inside before everyone else but I didn't have a good feeling about it. I am pregnant and I didn't want to be pushed into a rail, so we went on the balcony again so we could see them.
They were all really nice and they expressed their love for us, as fans!
Jasper, Carlisle and Demetri did most of the talking.
At one point Jasper started to play the keyboard!
I did go down to the floor to try and get a closer picture. This was the best one I got!
I really had a good time and I should have gotten a picture with my friend, Tonya but I don't know why I didn't. I am grateful she invited me! I was really surprised that the place wasn't packed because I know a lot of people would have loved to have been there. I don't think they advertised it very well! Everyone I have talked to about it didn't have any idea it was going on, not to mention it was FREE! I would love to go to the next one and that time I won't be pregnant and then I can be able to be in the front row.
Thanks Tonya, for taking me!
